Helio of Goteborg’s History wrote asking me how to get more links for his Swedish history page. I’ll admit I’m not an expert, but my last name sounds scandinavian, so I’m motivated to give a nice Swede the few tips I know. The first tips applies to non-English language bloggers, but read generally, the other five apply to everyone. Here goes: A number of translation plugins exist for WordPress. I haven’t tried them; maybe I should. You definitely should! Polyglot is a WordPress plugin can help you provide content in a variety of languages, but you need to supply the content in both languages. Unfortunately, writing copy in both English and Swedish is work. Try robo-translation using Word Translation Plugin; it’s free. If free doesn’t work, you can pay for Angsumans’ Översättare Plugg Pro 4.0 Befriaren also known as “Angsuman’s Translator Plugin Pro 4.0 Released”.

Dear New StumbleUpon Friend: Now, I want to read and Stumble your blog posts. But I need to find your blog first, and you don’t make it easy for me to find your blog. Please plaster your blog url in as many places as possible in your Stumble profile so I can find you even if it’s 6 am and I’m brain dead. Now, even a hurried, brain dead blogger who likes to visit blogs of people who “discovered” her posts can find your blog. (And she likes to Stumble. So, you’ll get traffic.
You “discovered” my post. Thanks!How to make it easy for anyone to find your blog on your Stumble Profile.



Add content that describes yourself and — this is important- include the links to your blogs both in the “introduce yourself” box and the “your blog” box.
