Steve Wagenheim’s Home Business Blog

By now, if you’re a blogger, you’ve probably heard about Zombie Blogging. If not, don’t worry, by the time you’re done reading this article, you’ll have an idea of what it is. But the question is this, is Zombie Blogging dead (no pun intended) or is it alive and well? Let’s take a look.

The reason I bring this up is because, if you head on over to the Warrior Forum, there is a thread that’s been started in regard to Zombie Blogging about how, if you’re using Blogger blogs to do this, after you hit four blogs, you get contacted by Google asking you to verify your phone number. Now, by itself, this is no big deal. I also understand why they’re doing this. They want to cut down on spam blogs. But it seems that if you don’t confirm, your blogs get zapped, even if they appear to be completely legit. Also, it seems you need to have a Gmail account and more than two of these, you’re on their radar.

What puzzles me completely about this whole thing is this. I have a Blogger account and I have 34 blogs on it. I have never been asked to confirm my phone number and don’t even have a Gmail account. So I have no idea what’s going on with these confirmations. Maybe it’s something new. Either way, if you do this by the book, there is no reason for your blogs to get zapped.

Okay, so what is Zombie Blogging? Well, in a nutshell, it’s a way to have content drip fed into your blog each day so that the blog builds up authority over time, then it ranks well, and THEN, after it’s established, you monetize it. If you want to know what the whole process is, just pick up a copy. I’ve read it and it’s excellent. It’s also an amusing read.

When dealing with Blogger and Google, you have to play by THEIR rules. Trust me, their rules are not all that horrible. All they want is good content on their search engine. They don’t want the kind of crap that a lot of people put up. Those who do it, you know what I’m talking about. Be nice to Google and they’ll be nice to you.

Anyway, Zombie Blogging is alive and well and I am sure that, used properly, it will continue to survive for a very long time.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim.
