Every .com .co uk. .net .org etc… website should have various free blogs directing links to their main website. Here is a nice little trick to use for speed. Bogger blogs have a facility whereupon you can send a blogging post via email.

You need to go to your blogger account > settings > email and set up your own very personal email. Then email your blog post to your blog. If you know how to set up your email client you can send 5 or 10 emails to 5 or 10 blogs with the same post. This method helps to build backlnks and subsequent search engine position.

Here … let Google explain:

How do I post via email?

The Mail-to-Blogger feature turns any email account into a blog-posting application. In Settings | Email you can create a Mail-to-Blogger address which you will use to send posts via email to your blog:

Settings | Email tab

To post to your blog via email, you need to configure your Mail-to-Blogger email address in Settings | Email:

mail Post to Your Blog by Email

The format of the email address is username.secretword@blogger.com. Note that this email address must be kept secret. Otherwise, anyone who gets it will be able to post as you.

Also be sure to specify whether or not you prefer your email posts to publish automatically. If this option is not checked, then your posts will be saved on your account but will not appear on your blog until you log in to Blogger.com and publish them yourself.

Once you have saved your Settings, you can send email to your blog. The subjects of your email letters will be the titles of your posts, and the body of the emails will be the posts themselves. To include an image in your post, you can attach an image to you your email.

Notes:

  • Sometimes email programs append text to the bottom of each sent message; to make sure this cruft doesn’t get posted to your blog, put #end at the end of your post.

How is HTML handled in Mail-to-Blogger?

There are two formats that emails generally use: plain text and HTML. Many email clients will have an option to switch between the two modes. Here’s what happens when you use either of these formats in Mail-to-Blogger:

Plain Text: Everything is published on your blog exactly as you type it. That is, entering <strong> in your post will not make text bold. The <> brackets will be escaped and your published blog will actually display <strong> as text.

HTML: All HTML is interpreted as HTML. If you use your email client’s formatting functions to make text bold, you may not see the <strong> tag, but it will be included in your post and the text will appear bold on your blog. If you want to enter code manually, you may need to use an “edit source code” mode or something similar in your email client.
