So What You Do When a Big Blogger Links To Your Post?

Well, this morning bring big smile on my face. When I woke up this Sunday morning and checked my BlogLines feed as usual I felt like on cloud seven. I saw that John Chow has a complete post about one of my recent post on big bloggers offices. I’m very excited about it and the reason is very simple, I admire John a lot in fact I started my blogging after reading John chow’s top posts.  

Well John Chow is a big blogger. If you are a Make Money Online blogger and still don’t know who is John then please send me one of picture, I will use it in my post about Human Evolution. J. John has a strong RSS base of 47K readers, with 29k twitter follower, Technorati ranking of top 2k blog. Feedburner says his RSS circulation of 47k gets hits around 66k so you can imagine if he links to your blog/posts then how much heavy traffic you will receive towards your blog. Imagine the thing when your blog is not hosted on a dedicated server.  

So the first thing I need to do is to make my blog compatible to bear “The John Chow Effect”.

WP Super Cache

Well if you get a chance something like the one I explained above then the first thing you must do is to install this WordPress WP Super Cache Plugin to bear the immediate traffic load towards your blog.

This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After an html file is generated your web server will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts. The static html files will be served to the vast majority of your users, but because a user’s details are displayed in the comment form after they leave a comment those requests are handled by PHP.

So this plugin handle instantaneous traffic load terrifically. Moreover WP Super cache plugin makes your blog go faster. 

Time line your old popular post.

Lots of first time visitors would also like to check other posts you wrote recently on your blog, so I have seen most the blogger do this, they timeline their old popular posts to current dates so that they appear on front page chronically, if you ask me I don’t think it’s a better idea, specially when your permalink contain months and year and if you try this lots of links to your old posts will turn out to be broken.  So better you should not try this if your blog’s permalink is like mine.

Well that’s I can advise you, please share your story about linking of your blog by biggies in comment below and if also share if you have some other suggestions to implement in this situation.

    Yes this is true but if you ar changing the permalink status you can use an permalink plugin redirect. An that should solve all the trouble.

    looks like an essential plugin to installed. Shanker, when you installed it, how was the response when loading the blog compared to before you installed it? I read how too many plugins can slow down a blog.

    I have been using it for quite long time, it is indeed a great plugin. The other day I have accidentally disabled it and following days I seen a decline of the search engine crawling , later on I realized it is due to the reason now it takes more time to crawl my site as compare to before as all the pages are dynamically created. So it helps many ways. highly recommended.

    Thanks for the information, I was not aware about such a plug in, it is really useful in case if your site is under heavy traffic. I had faced that problem lots of time.

    Great buddy, good that you got a referral from JC :) So far, I have only received it from DBT once…

    I am yet to try the Super cache plugin. The reason being the low traffic. At peak (on a particular stumble) I had as hight as 900 visitors on a day, otherwise it’s pretty much around 150 range.

    If you want to run with the big dawgs you can not pee like a puppy…..WP Super Cache sure helps the smaller guys overcome this problem. Nothing like working hard to get the traffic you deserve, and your server crashing when you do something right!

    I really do think it’s a bad idea to show off year and month old posts on the front page again. Putting maybe one of those revolving banners at the top with classic and popular posts may be a good idea, but I would rather just dig back into it after I’ve gotten into a blog.

    Wow! Congratulations! A big time blogger linking a post from your blog. This is great!

    I didn’t know about this plugin until now. I always get a message from my G webmaster tools account that some posts did not respond when being crawled due to it’s dynamic. Thank you for this.

    Probably a bit of a newbie question but will wp-supercache still work ok with dynamic elements on your page – like google adsense scripts?

    Thanks for the tip!

    Hey Shanker – do you know if WP-SuperCache works with the WP-Polls plugin on wordpress? Am a bit hesitant to try it in case it breaks my site!

    Thanks
