As I was commenting on blogs this morning, I ran across a neat wordpress plug in that allows the opportunity to reblog this content.  I thought to myself, reblogging would be terrific because it would create instant link backs and instant distribution of my content.

To me, that seemed like a great answer to the problem of people not wanting to comment, or not leaving a comment.  The whole purpose of this blog is to help people understand how to use various promotional tools online designed to drive traffic to your blog and make money from the traffic.  So, I installed the Zemanta plug in and so far I am in awe!

Let me tell you why:

As I write my blog post Zemanta locates images, and related articles for me.  In addition, this plug-in suggests tags and keywords that fit my post topic.  For you bloggers who have difficulty discovering keywords for your blog posts, Zemanta just may be your answer.  Also, if you are using the Meta SEO Pack plug in for wordpress, you can use the suggested tags and pop them in the Meta Keywords box for the plug in.  So far, all I can see is good things from this plugin.  It is SEO friendly, gives you instant backlinks, suggests other articles your readers may be interested in, provides and suggests images for your post, offers your readers a chance to reblog your post and suggests tags and in-text links for you.

What are intext links?

In-text links

Adding hyperlinks is easy peasy lemon squeezy with Zemanta’s single-click link suggestions!

As you write your blog post, Zemanta picks out which people and terms are important in the text and recommends links to them. Inserting a link is a one click operation, but if you really want control, you can pick out a different destination from the drop-down (not available on all links).

Try out Zemanta, it can only enhance your blog as well as create an opportunity to further engage your readers.
