And you’d be the Linky Love Lucia? Ground Zero?
BB
Yep! I wrote the “About” early on when I started the blog and had no traffic and had not yet written 4 plugins. I noticed a few hits to this page the other day. Now… I’m going to have to describe myself. Yies!
You’re getting famous, girl. You might want to consider putting a (optional) link back to your site in the plugin. Do yourself some good while you’re about things.
BB
I’ll double check and drop links everywhere that makes sense. (Sometimes I didn’t drop links in a plugin page because the page didn’t exist until after I released the plugin and described it. (In the earlier plugins, it doesn’t exist in the plugin because I didn’t think of it.)
Hey, I’m a knitting blogger moving into this niche. This is steep learning curve!
What’s a knitting girl doing moving into the links game? Knitting yourself some links?
BB
I used to periodically blog about blogging o the knitting blog too. Not very often because it’s not that niche. But all many, many knitters have blogs, and they do occasionally want tips.
For a while I was the “SEO Queen of Knitting Bloggers”. Seriously, a few years back, if you googled any long tailed knitting search, I was in the top three. (If you’d read the blog back then, the reason would have been obvious. I use precise, descriptive terms, and metion alternate jargon when the UK knitters use words differently from the US knitters. I also interlinked from my patterns to my tutorials.)
I wrote a post on page SEO and first wrote about the .htaccess block to protect a blog from hacking over on my knitting blog!
Still, I do need to describe myself here. I’m sort of at a loss for precisely what to do. I’m a dilatant who likes to pop in and out of topics. You can figure this out if you google “lucia liljgren”. I am the top… oh… bajillion links?
16,600 actually. Is that your husband in the Arctic? Are you knitting things to keep him warm?
BB
Yes. Jim’s my husband. The arctic trip was about 8 years ago.
I guess if I were really the queen of SEO, I’d figure out how to bump the .edu site from #1 and get my blog listed up there.
Maybe I should make that a goal. (I’ll have to start by using my last name here.) I’m pretty sure I’ve got a lock on “lucia liljegren”!

.edu sites in themselves carry a great deal of weight in Google. Have you run a backlink check on it? You could try appealing to the people who link to it to link to you as well, say you’re sociologically significant, which you are because you’re the linky love girl. I do a little SEO myself, incidentally
BB
No, I haven’t run a back link check.
So far, I’ve put my full name on the header at this blog. That should push this one up! If I’d named LLL LLLL, I might be able to knock the EDU site out.
Of course, this isn’t really important. After all, no-one except guys I used to date really googles me. (Three have emailed me. Two were nice; one sent unsolicited porn. I laughed at that.)
Lucy how come some of my backlinks from here are nofollowed and some aren’t? They aren’t in sequence like you’d expect them to be. Earlier ones are dofollow and later ones are nofollow. Is this one of your software’s quirks?
BB
You’ve exceeded 3 comments, so in general your links are “follow”. There is a “new comment” exception- the “follow” is added 24 hours after you comment. You’ll see “new comment” after those. (To save CPU plugin just returns without counting in the case of a new comment.)
Someone asked for time delay feature, so I added it. I use 1 day here as an example. On my other blogs I use ‘0 days’ because I think the three comments is enough to screen the spammers.
Hi Lucia:
My name is Marlene Yu, and I am the assistant of David Newby.
In case you haven’t heard of David Newby, he is the author of “Why Didn’t Anyone Teach Me This?” – a book about how he went from growing up on welfare to being semi-retired at age 32. David is very passionate about personal finance issues and financial freedom. As such, he has decided to give his book for free to top bloggers.
Don’t worry, he doesn’t expect anything in return; he simply would like to send you a copy as he respects your opinion, and any feedback you can offer will be highly appreciated.
To receive your free copy of his book, please simply email me back with your physical address and phone number (for the UPS form) and we’ll send it right out to you.
Thank you for reading this email. God bless!
Sincerely,
Marlene Yu
Assistant to David Newby
I think this is ok, this isn’t too spammy. You note there isn’t a back link under Marlene Yu’s name. It seems they’re taking the chance that you’ll be so impressed with the book that you’ll decide to link back of your own volition. Fair enough, I think.
This page (this one here you’re reading) seems to be working its way up to having Page Rank, by the way, due to my strenuous efforts with the typing, no doubt.
BB
Thanks SEO BB! I’ve been puzzling about that one. I was once sent a knitting book for the same reason. I googled and did discover that authors book is on Amazon- though self published through LuLu.
I’m trying to decide. . .
