Searching for inbound links?

Want to improve your ranking on Google? Are you looking for a solid, reliable method to consistently build large numbers of inbound links over time?

You’ve come to the right place. Read on…

I have been working on my website for three years now. When I started, I had no inbound links. I was getting traffic from MSN and a little from Yahoo but none from Google.

Today most of my traffic comes from Google. As you know inbound links are important in the Google “algorithm.” It was part of Larry Page’s thesis when he started his search engine experiment.

I’ve tried a lot of different ways to build links. And, after three years, I’ve concluded that the best method is publishing articles through places like Ezinearticles and Isnare.

1. Keywords

Go to SEO Book.com. You’ll find a free keyword tool. Play around with it. Find some keywords that are popular to your subject area. Use them for topics. Work the keyword in a number of times in the article. Use it in the headline.

2. Titles

Article titles or headlines are critical. One of my first articles that I published with Ezine had a very bland title. It got very few views and was published very few times. Then I read Rosalind Gardner’s “Super Affiliate Handbook” and everything changed. She has a great piece on creating interesting article titles. She calls it “The ‘Secret’ Ingredient Every Article Needs.”

Use numerals in the titles. For example, “8 ways to…” or “7 tips to….” And use words like “avoid,” “how to,” “tips” or secrets”. You can probably find some sources on the internet with ideas on headline writing.

Creating snazzy titles is “must know” information so don’t neglect it.

3. Use Proper Grammar and Punctuation

You want webmasters to pick up your articles and post them on their websites and blogs. They may be turned off by bad grammar or incorrect punctuation. Your article will reflect on their site. So make it look good. Use Microsoft Word or WordPerfect and keep the spell checker and grammar checker on at all times.

4. Proofread

James Michener used to say he was not a great writer but he was a great proofreader. After your article is finished, print it out. It is much easier to spot errors on the printed page. Get a red pen. Read the article slowly and carefully. Pretend you are someone else. A competitor, for example. She would find errors in your text. You can do the same. Fix them.

5. Article Submission

There are hundreds of places to submit your article. My current favorites are Ezinearticles.com and Isnare.com.

Ezinearticles has a minimum word requirement of 250 but is very strict about its editorial guidelines. I have published articles at Ezinearticles.com and each article gets a PR (page rank) 2 from Google. This is good. Very good actually. And Ezinearticles is basically the Harvard Law Review of article publishing.

Isnare.com has a minimum word requirement but is much more relaxed editorially. I find I can publish more articles for my time with Isnare even with the higher word requirement. With Ezinearticles I am continually rewriting to meet their strict standards.

There are many other article repository sites and you can find them with a simple search on Google.

6. Distribution

Just getting the article published in a repository is only half the battle. Some webmasters will pick up your articles from the repositories. But, ideally, you want the broadest possible distribution for your article because that way more webmasters become aware of it and publish it.

One way to do that is through “article announcement lists.” These are mostly Yahoo Groups. You can find them through a search on Yahoo. David Viney also publishes a list on page 159 of his very fine book “Getting to the Top on Google.”

For my purposes I have found I get the broadest possible distribution when I publish at Isnare.com. For a small fee ($2.00 per piece) they send the article out to gazillions of sites. And, I start noticing the inbound links multiplying more rapidly. So I pay the $2.00 and feel it is worth the money.

There are other methods of achieving broad distribution. There is software that Rosalind Gardner recommends and claims to use herself that does the same thing. It is rather pricey but if you are writing a lot of articles maybe it is worth the money

7. Resource Box

This is the area after the article where you can put your info. The article is your “give” and the resource box is your “take” as they say at Ezinearticles. There is a whole technology on how to write a concise effective resource box to maximize your return. You can find some great articles on it at Ezinearticles.com. Be sure to include one of the main keywords from your site in your link’s “anchor text.”

Conclusion

Article marketing can generate massive numbers of inbound links. A nice side benefit is that they will also bring you traffic. It takes some time to learn but it is a solid link building and marketing strategy.

Affiliate marketing success is one of the easiest ways to generate income online.

There are really only two things you have to do to get Internet Marketing working for you!

You have to find a good offer and then find the right customers to buy it.

In affiliate sales half of this (the big half) is done already! That’s a huge advantage.

So affiliate marketing boils down to getting people to see your affiliate link…click on it…see the offer…buy the product…and repeat.

Now…go find a good offer at Clickbank. Just get it done. Now you have something to sell.

And you have what is known at Clickbank as a “hoplink”. That’s your secure affiliate code that INSURES you get paid!

Now all you have to do is get people to your offer that are interested in your offer. I know that sounds simplistic…but…if you are selling “Horse leads” you want people who typed into Google “Horse leads”

That would be your keyword and that is how you “sort” your traffic.

How to do it?

Twitter has become one of the most popular social networking sites today, overshadowed only by biggies like Facebook and MySpace. It is no wonder that many people are coming aboard Twitter to promote their business. As Twitter would say it, many entrepreneurs are Tweeting they way to online visibility and hence, success.

If you are on Twitter too, what you really need to have is a good Twitter profile and then you need to brand it. The first part is relatively easy and does not take much time. Everyone knows how to make a profile on a social networking website. Just be true to the details and do not go overboard with the hype or the sales pitch and it would count as a good business profile. There are various customizable options on Twitter itself. You could use these to make your profile look different. And if it is some real difference that you are hankering for, you could go for some patches and downloads that are compatible with Twitter. You could find these by conducting relevant searches on popular search engines.

You need to keep your business profile page different but at the same time subtle. Over-the-top does not work in today’s times, and that applies to Twitter profiles too.

But, what really takes time and effort is the branding part. Branding is where you are making your business visible. Real branding is when your business becomes popular not just on Twitter but even outside it. Remember that branding is not just about the colors that you use and the font that you use; it has more to do with the recall value of your business name itself. When you are on Twitter, Twitter business branding will refer to the way in which your Twitter account name appears and becomes popular.

There is much to be gained through Twitter business branding. A lot of enterprising folk are selling these in the same way they sell domain names. They build a profile page, brand it and when it becomes popular, they sell it for thousands of dollars. This takes some time and effort, but it does give a very rich dividend at the end of the day.

One way to go about Twitter business branding is to first establish a website on Twitter and then use the same look and feel as the corporate website. For example, if you have a business website that’s named http://www.xyz.com, you make a Twitter profile page that’s names http://www.twitter.com/xyz and then give this page the same appearance as the corporate page. This way, you are making your Twitter page an extension of your existing page.

The benefit of this is that people can search your Twitter page with your business brand name. They are able to find things more easily and also the recall value of your brand increases.

But you need to be quick about this. Time is of the essence. If you have a popular business that’s not on Twitter yet, someone might use your brand name on Twitter. This is a clear case of plagiarism, but you can’t help it once it is done. The best thing for you is to realize the importance of Twitter business branding right now and go about it when there is still time.

Social media is the utilization of online communities to promote sales, create business opportunities, and increase the exposure of a particular company. In today’s world, we spend more time online than anywhere else! Social media allows businesses to tap into the steady source of users that are registered through popular online communities. By reaching out to users through these web communities, companies can then create a rapport with the average consumer. Businesses can understand what their target audience is and how to fulfill their needs.

Popular social media sites that are usually targeted include Digg, StumbleUpon, http://Del.icio.us, Facebook, Twitter and many more. These sites give businesses the opportunity to keep in touch with the world and familiarize users with their brand name. Providing updates about various products, and latest advancements of a company, gives consumers something to think about. These updates can lead interested and curious users back to the company website to find out more information. Businesses can discover new target audiences that they hadn’t previously considered through this method of marketing. From analyzing the type of users who showed interest in their company, they can then alter their marketing techniques to effectively increase sales. Being linked to online communities will give businesses and their websites a steady flow of fresh traffic.

Companies interacting through online communities will maximize their number of back links which will help their SEO campaigns. The popularity of a brand name or company on a web community all depends on how much they can provide to their loyal consumers. The more you give, the more you will get in return. For example, a company promoting special offers, discounts, imagery, video and gaming entertainment, will be more popular than companies that merely register and provide a paragraph of information. The idea is not be as focused on selling and to be more interested on putting your customer at ease. By providing entertainment and information for your customer this will add a personal appeal to your brand name and they will be satisfied knowing that you’re not just trying to sell your product.

If you don’t know where to begin, using social networks to drive quality traffic to your website can be a confusing experience. It is important to first assess the quality of the community you want your company to be a part of and whether it will attract the right kind of consumers. If a community will not bring you quality traffic to your website then there is no point. If you have a website that sells dentures you definitely don’t want to waste your time joining a community catered to younger generations! Maybe a social network for 50+ would be more ideal? Once you have narrowed down the network websites right for your company to be affiliated with, you should then scope out if there is already a company profile existing. If this is the case, you will have to formulate a strategy to have your profile stand out from the rest.

Creating a profile through a social media network may not be something that will click right away. Social networking is definitely a trial and error method which will give you the results you need only by checking out what works for you and your business.

There are 3 steps to this blueprint:

1. Setting up

2. Researching

3. Making Money

1. Setting up:

You can set up a Joe Buck’s account for free and that’s where you can get lists of products from successful businesses, so you can advertise them and make a commission off every single thing you sell.

Just go to Joebuck’s website and sign up as an affiliate. You can get a commission if you advertise their actual site, or you can get a “Hot List” of tons of products on there website to chose from.

A couple other affiliate sites that you need to have is “millnic media” or “ClickBank”. Millnic media is just like click bank, where their sites’ have a marketplace filled with products to advertise and they are also an internet BANK so every commissioned dollar of every sale will go in your account, that’s your money.

Those are the main sites you need to have to actually earn you a commission, and hold your money in an account for you to use. After you have those set up, you need a place to advertise them.

You can use your Ezine articles account to promote items. You can also promote on Yahoo answers. Isnare is another free article site. Those are just a few of the FREE ways to advertise products and services you can use as an affiliate marketer. The fastest and best way to promote and get things sold is by far Google AdWords. Google is the best, but can be expensive. If you know how to use it right, then you can make a fortune. You can’t just set up an account and post an ad and expect people to click and buy.

People might click, but not buy, which will cost you a lot of money or not even click from bad ads. I can show you how.

Yahoo answers is another free site. You answer questions and then post a link to what ever product you want to sell, and you can’t just post a link and not answer the question. That will get you kicked off Yahoo Answers. There is a great way to be successful.

Lastly, you want to set up a domain for each product you want to sell. I use Go Daddy, but any domain site will work fine. You will get a specialized link just for you from ClickBank, milnic, and joebucks so when anyone clicks on that link and buys that product you will get that commission and put money in your account. Those links are like 15 letters long and look very complicated for example (safelink09.maverick66.hop.ClickBank.net) and that doesn’t look pretty. you want to make a domain to link to this that looks nice. Make it relevant to what your selling like (www.LovelyGreenTea.com), and definitely make your domain a (.COM) and capitalize the first letter in each word.

Step 2 Researching:

After all those accounts are set up you can start researching. You want to look at the list of products on ClickBank, millnic, or joebucks that you would want to advertise. Look and see how much commission you get for each sale which can be organized from most to least on the marketplace to make it easier. And what is the most popular product that will sell well and make you money.

Research the main aspects on Google about the product you want to market so you can advertise affectively.

Go on Google an see what other ads are out there for your same product so you can make it different and set your ad apart from the rest.

Step 3 Making Money:

When you advertise on yahoo answers, you need to make 10 none sales posts and 1 sales post. That will grow your rating which people like to see and it will not get you kicked off the site. Answer a question and then in the reference box post your link. If that becomes best answer that will be their for ever and any one in the future that searches for that answer will see your link.

Keep growing your Google AdWords budget.

Watch the money roll in.

PPC in a Nutshell:

Looking for different ways to market your products or services online? Banner advertisements are a good way to draw lots of targeted traffic to your site. However, in order to experience a successful banner ad campaign, it is essential that the banner is designed well. The quality of banner design can make or break a banner advertisement campaign. Your targeted visitors will see the banner and if they are impressed by the banner, only then they will click it and go to your site. Thus, the banners boost the visibility of your business and help a business establish a brand of its own, online.

Remember, banner designing is not only about good graphic designing.Ofcourse, the key ingredients of a good banner are: color, text, size, and images, however, there’s certainly more to banner ad than the graphics.

It is very important to have a clear concept about the purpose of your banner. If you want the banner to work in your favor, it’s imperative that it communicates the right message to your target audience. One of the key aspects to consider while designing a banner is your prospective customers. If your banner successfully caters to the needs and demands of your prospective customers, only then will it work the best for you, by accelerating the conversion rates of your website.

We all know the attractive graphics work really well for marketing purposes. But keep in mind, while making your banner ad attractive, don’t make it too complicated, such that it fails to enunciate the intended message to your target audience. It’s proven that simple banner ad design gives the best result. If you are outsourcing banner ad creation to someone, tell your service provider to not clutter your banner by including big images or too many of them. Always try to incorporate an element in your banner that will arouse their interest enough to click it and come to your site.

The design of your banner should be compatible to the nature of your business. Also, try to use subtle yet contrasting colors that entice your prospective customers to take an interest in your banner. Also, try not to focus too much on the images such that you forget about the text altogether. You must check that the text on the banner is crisp and legible. Try not to make it too wordy. Bear in mind that the prospective visitor will spend only a few seconds on the banner. Thus, you just have only a few seconds to get the right message across to the readers.

Therefore, in a nutshell your banner ad design has to be relevant and concise. It should contain all the necessary elements to brand your business. Use the banner ads to foster a cordial relationship with your customers. Once you have designed your banner the right way you will be surprised to see what a captivating advertising tool it is for your business.

Banner ads are one of the oldest modes of marketing a business online and till today, the best designed banners contribute largely to the success of a business promotion campaign.

Perhaps the first thing to consider when learning about article marketing is that quality articles used by the correct Web sites and ezines are a perfect form of free advertising. Notice that key word “correct!” In the world of online selling and online buying it is crucial to reach the people who have similar interests and want the same things you do. Even if you are just sharing information for charitable reasons or you want people to know the facts about a certain subject, a great article won’t be much help if it reaches the wrong audience.

Of course, the important first step is to draw visitors to your site. The best way to do this is to be listed in reliable, focused directories. Assuming that someone has written a number of articles that contain solid information, it is necessary to make them available to the right directories and related sites. Articles can be submitted directly to someone who publishes an ezine (an online magazine or newsletter). These articles can also be submitted to sites that the ezine publisher goes to find the best new content. In simple terms, it is a world of share and share alike. If this is done well, everyone wins.

Remember, articles that find their way into quality ezines and similar Web sites will be read by people who choose to be associated with that area of interest. These people have the option of receiving the newsletter or ezine. They choose to be on the list. That target audience is the key reason article marketing can be successful for any business.

Some people have questioned the decision to provide carefully researched and accurate information for free. This may be especially true for someone who is working as a recognized expert in a particular field. But consider this: ezine articles are usually left in original form. The author can be quite sure that the subject is presented as submitted. Links and contact information are left as presented as well. That’s where the free advertising concept comes in.

A quality article that focuses on an area of special interest can find its way to hundreds, even thousands of people. Most people who use free article submission see surges in the number of visits to their own sites as articles find their way to the right readers. A key here is link popularity. If others are choosing to connect and your links are showing up in all the right places, search-engine rank improves. A few key points to remember when preparing articles: keep them at the correct length – between 200 and 500 words is a good range; use bullet points selectively; use shorter link methods instead of long URLs, code etc.

Most of the experts and truly successful article marketing folks urge article writers to create and submit at least four articles per day or per session. An occasional article sent to a site that you just happen to stumble on probably won’t create much of a stir. While it isn’t good to go to the other extreme either, the process of free article submission requires quantity as well as quality. Both are necessary to enhance credibility in a subject area. That credibility is a key to increasing traffic to your Web site with article marketing.

The best way to optimize your gambling website is to add your URL and /or submit your articles to e-Casino Directory (a links & free articles directory ); where you’ll be able to gain valuable gambling related backlinks which are relevant to your site.

Link popularity is defined as the number of links that point to your web site from other sites on the Internet. Link building is considered very important for increasing online business popularity. In simpler terms its how much you are known on the web. Every link that points to your web site is like a vote in your favor. The more votes you get, the more trust search engines develop for your web site. However quality matters more than quantity, so it helps more to get links from sites which are considered to be trusted seed sites like Yahoo Directory, Wikipedia and DMOZ. Furthermore for two ways link exchange it’s considered more important to get a link back from a similar category web site. Primarily there are 3 types of links that you can establish on the web:

One way links – One way links are links pointing to your web site without getting connected back to the web site. One way links are also called inbound links. These are valued more than other types of links since the probability of its being a totally sincere vote of greater. If other web sites find your web site worthy and important for some topic/information, they might provide you a one way link. Links got through article marketing, PR marketing and Blogs generally come under this category.

Two way links – or reciprocal links are based on a mutual agreement between 2 sites with similar business interests, in order to increase link popularity and web site traffic. When going for reciprocal links one must consider three things –

a. How trusted is that domain?

b. If or not it belongs to the same category?

c. Page rank of the linking page?

How to go about getting reciprocal links – Well it’s not easy but it’s not that difficult either. Once you come across a web site worth linking, you can simply reach them and ask if they would like to go for a reciprocal link exchange with yours.

Three way links – In three-way link building can be comprehended as reciprocal link exchange between three sites. A website A links with website B; B instead of connecting back to A, connects to another web site C; Web site C then connects back to web site A. In normal reciprocal link exchange, the involved web sites exchange links. Search engine algorithms are becoming intelligent day by day, and they can easily find that out. So the reciprocated links might not be weighted for the maximum value.

Benefits of link building:

• Direct Traffic – Following link from trusted sites is one of the most effective means for people in finding new web sites. if your website has links on other authority websites on the net, that can bring you lots of relevant traffic

• Links develop user trust – If a user sees your website link on other respected websites on the web, they are likely to develop more trust for your product or service. That will also have an direct impact on your conversion rates

• Increased PR – It’s no more a secret now that Google page rank largely depends on the incoming links to a webpage/website. Page rank itself helps in making first impression for your website in your community.

• Search Engine Trust – As it been mentioned before, in-coming links are considered as votes in favor of your website. They help search engines assess your website relevancy for the linked terms and ultimately your business keyword. A link from Wikipedia or Yahoo directory will certainly be considered highly important and valued heavily in all major search engines.

• Free advertising – Unless you buy links purposefully, it’s a free advertising for you.

Quality link-building helps in many ways. It gets you traffic from the linking web sites, it is one of the many parameters for serps ranking plus you get a boost in your web site page ranks. If you own an online business or planning to start one, ‘link building’ is something that you cannot afford to neglect.
