Analysis In order to learn how to build a Superblog, we must first look at factors that have helped the success of other top blogs out there. I’ve already performed a similar analysis across different industries , but never one for the biggest blogs in the world. 75% more if their numbers are anything to go by.

Leave Blog Comments Most blog comments are nofollowed (this means search engines aren’t supposed to give weight to the link, though I believe Yahoo and Bing still do) so they don’t provide much link juice directly. Flippa is a place for people to buy and sell websites and has a very interactive community.

I of course like seeing the traffic go up, but I’m more focused on building a community than seeing some nice spikes in my Google Analytics account. I reiterate each month that I like to look at these stats but I don’t have goals for them. I don’t rely on this site to make money; I simply enjoy writing here.

In order to get mentions on other blogs then you need to be focusing on being involved in the communities for that industry online and providing the very best content that you can. Especially when it comes to the ‘community’ and other blogs for mentions and links? You can of course optimise specific pages on your site.
