This is a review that I've had today on a history blog.

Progressive Historians: History For Our Future

It's kinda like the points above are all about experimenting with different ideas to get publicity, because if you ain't got $$$ and you ain't got £££ to publicise your site then this is the approach you're going to have to take.

Take a look at post #4, but also there is some basic documentation on the Google site:

Google AJAX Feed API - Dynamic Feed Control

You will also need to link to the external Google javascript code as so:

<script src="http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeedcontrol.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Put it into the pligg.tpl file

Don't forget to sign up for the Google feed API file because you need to put that into the head too

Sign up for the Google AJAX Feed API - Google AJAX Feed API - Google Code

There are four separate files, including the special CSS, that you need to place into the head.

(although you could always add the css instructions to your main css file)

Here's some more ideas. Submit your rss feeds to rss directories and get some backlinks (deep links are especially welcome).

There's two lists here, the contents of which overlap so be careful:

Find a list of blog sites relevant to your subject. Then get posting comments - with your web url in the appropriate area. That way you may well get either a comment by the blogger on their site or a link in their sitewide section.

For instance, for history I found the following lists of history blogs:

History - AcademicBlogs

History Blogs // BlogCatalog

Okay here's an idea I thought about this weekend. It's an easy(ish) way of getting backlinks, and in particular deep link (links pointing to pages other than the index) and using keywords in your anchor text.

Set yourself up with a blogspot account. Mine is as below:

History Nexus dot net Reviews

Once a month, or more if you like, write a review of additions to your site. Include in the text links to articles and use keywords in your anchor text if you want.

Make sure that you set the RSS feed settings for the blog so that it displays the full text, and not just a teaser.

Now submit the blog to the RSS directories as listed above.

Don't forget to ping the blog after every article. Use this service for that:

ping.bloggers.com - Blog ping

Then you get pages across the web with your content and with your links in, like this:

Bloglines | Preview Feed
History Nexus dot net Reviews Feedage.com

You can also use HubPages: HubPages

Create a HubPage as I have done below:

History Nexus
Review of History on the Web - May, 2008

This is nofollow until you reach 75 points. Read the instructions at HubPages to understand how it works and how to reach the necessary amount of points and links become do-follow.

At HubPages, don't create more than two links to any one domain on any one page.

I used it to add quiz's to the History Nexus MySpace page but it would be easy to add it to a Pligg page.

Myspace.com Blogs - History quiz number one - History Nexus MySpace Blog

Is there a way to let Pligg users create their own quiz and have it integrated into Pligg? It would allow more interaction among users
