GASP! It’s been a while since I last did this huge list thing, hope I still got the Kidblogger in me. I’m getting old!
But this was rather late to say the least. I was supposed to post this the other week but got loads of stuff got in the way. Still, I’m quite happy to finish writing this BIG article so I hope you like it.
ALERT! Disclaimers below…
First disclaimer, some ideas just happen to pop out my head so you might find them a bit “rad”.
Second disclaimer, some tactics are so bad ass and effective, people “just happen” to not like them ;-)
Third disclaimer, I’m not gonna talk about submitting to web directories, press releases and all those rehashed stuff. I’m not saying that they don’t work, I’m saying that it has talked about a lot of times before.
Other than that, I’m pretty sure you’ll like it…
Do The Link Bait
To bloggers, this is a household name. To others, it might sound weird. So…
What the heck is link baiting anyway?
Tons of people tried to explain link baiting in long articles that go on and on. I’ll be frank, I can’t read long articles that don’t talk about big trucks, some mighty cool weird facts and chicks.
So let’s keep it simple – link baiting is simply “something” (article, tool, picture, anything) that make people want to link to you.
Here are some goodies you can do…
1. Make a list – No need to explain, examples will tell ya: 50 most important people on the web, 100 best movie lines, 69 ways to build backlinks ;-)
2. Perform studies – There’s a stats junkie inside of almost every people – wanting to know every new website linking to you, conversion rates of certain colors, how people look at a webpage and all sorts of stuff. But hey, it’s solid content and damn interesting.
3. Make graphs that are hard to understand – Just something that might help you with #2 up there. Can’t help myself to include this. OCD? Nah… complicated = good (at some point). Ok seriously though, when you perform studies, presentation matters. Churn out spiffy graphs that’ll help you explain what you found out.

Search Engine Optimization Method: Long Term Plan To Rank #1 On Google, Yahoo And MSN
This article is guest posted by Mike Ndegwa.
The SEO Method that is going to explain below in detail, is a surefire method proven to rank you #1 on all major Search Engines listed thus: Google, Yahoo Search and MSN.
On this post we will learn how to Rank #1 on your Primary Keyword regardless of how competitive it is.
Before we deep our feet to the SEO method, you need to first set some objectives for your site. Otherwise there is no need of Ranking #1 for the sake of it.
The two main objectives that any internet marketer should have in mind are:
a) Drive traffic to their $$$ Money Site i.e. if you have a product that you own and sell.
b) Drive traffic to a squeeze page i.e. if you are building an email list where you can promote your affiliate products or can use for future launch of some product that you are working on.
c) A bonus goal is drive traffic to a site that you have monetized on Adsense or other affiliate programs.
NB: As far as am concerned it’s not wise to drive traffic directly to an affiliate link even if you are using PPC – Pay per Click Advertising, I’d rather review the affiliate product on my site and drive my traffic there or even better use a redirect Link that I have control of in Future.
We are going to Focus on Three Main Stages:
i. Article and Directory Submissions
§ Ezine Articles
§ Other Article Directories
§ Blog Networks
§ Directory Submission
ii. Social Networks
§ Web 2.0
§ Social Bookmarking
§ Videos
iii. Own Networks
§ Build your own Networks and Sites
As you can see you need to have a pre-existing business or the money side of your web presence at the middle. To mean that you are linking back to your site with an objective which is either making you money or generating leads through organic sources from your primary and secondary Keywords.
Am not going through the trouble of helping you identify a Niche or keywords for your business we will do that on another post.
This method can be used on sites to rank #1 on major search engines regardless of the site you are promoting whether it’s a blog, an ecommerce site, a static site etc it’s a one for all method. You could be selling goods via air, waterways and roads or are just selling digital or downloadable products. Again this method works for all types of sites.
As a reminder our headline is the long term goal to rank #1 and remain unreachable by your competition not some black hat technique that will get you on top and then the following day you are disqualified and perceived to be playing some games with search engines.
i. Ezine Articles – using ezinearticles.com you can submit 10 -15 quality and original articles linking back directly to your site on www.yourdomain.com with primary keywords as well as other secondary links on your domain. You can outsource for some articles using Guru.com or RentACoder or even better use the instant article Wizard to generate articles for your Niche and containing your
ii. The other Step is to submit re-written PRL articles to other article directories. You can do 20 – 300 of them over time. Again make sure you use your primary keywords and the secondary ones to link back to the money side of your business as well as on the secondary links within your site. For every article you can submit to various directories at the same time. Personally I use the Semi-automatic submitter i.e. submitterbot.com it’s Free and with one membership site you it can help register you to other hundreds of article directory sites. Make sure your articles meet the ezinearticles.com standards, this adds the probability of your articles been accepted in other directories easily.
iii. Blog Networks – There are hundreds if not thousands of blog Networks out there. However it’s wise to check on Premium Networks where to avoid being disqualified by search engines and be seen to be playing some game. Incase you use the Free Blog networks then be careful not to link to your money side but rather link to your articles in 1 and 2 above and eventually the juice will flow back to the money side of your business safely. If you look carefully you can identify this principle in the diagram above. You put your target to 50 -100 blog networks. Again there is no hurry but you do this overtime.
iv. Directory Submission – This used to be very effective and is still is today. You can submit to between 100 and 150 directories and make sure all the links flow directly to your money side and very minimal if any on the secondary links on your site. Again with Submitterbot.com you can submit your Link to over 500 directories with a title and a small description.
v. Web 2.0 – There are many definitions for web 2.0 but I simply refer to it as websites with user generated content. A good example is wordpress, blogger, Squidoo among others. What you do is get an account with them and publish content with links back to your money side and secondary links on your site as well. With this platform you can do 5-10 submissions
vi. Social Bookmarking – This includes Sites like Facebook, Digg, Stumble Upon, Myspace, etc. You can be creative here and see if you can join related groups in these networks and share your links back to your web 2.0 articles and none direct to your money side or even secondary links on your domain, Unless your money side business is a blog and not some product sales letter or static site. Most people strive to be on Digg Front page but as you have seen there are loads of other things you can do to get targeted organic traffic from search engines using your primary keywords. You can bookmark to between 100 and 150 sites.
vii. Videos- With a world where people have developed a culture of sitting their butt and watching T.V. then videos come in Handy. In this category you can do between 1 to Infinite Videos just make sure they are viral hence easily shared. You can share your videos via social book marking and let them point directly to your money side domain as well as links to your social book marking sites. Again you can uses services such as Youtube and other premium sites.
viii. Your Own Networks. Remember your goal is to build an online business that has an ongoing leverage. As you have noticed there is lots of hard work involved. Under this section you can register 5 -10 domains register them under different names so that they can appear natural and leave them to mature for two to three years. Then post some articles pointing to your money side domain. You can also monetize on these domains using opportunities like AdSense and/or affiliate Links
Please note the number of times to use any of the tools above is not limited to the number of times you can use it. If you are already ranking #1 on your preferred Search Engines then you can apply the said techniques from time to time to make sure you retain your position and if you are not yet on top 10 then start applying the said methods using the given tools and later on you will realize that constant dripping can hollow a stone.
Action Points:
A. Get your money Side of the Business ready before you start SEO.
B. Identify your primary Keyword(s) from the beginning and be consistent with it/ them throughout the SEO Method application.
C. Measure your Work from time to time using tools like Alexa.com, Google page rank, Unique Visitors on your stats etc before you start using revenue as your measuring tool, this will encourage you along the way.
D. Use third party services for your products e.g. PayDotCom.com to avoid affiliates messing with your domain name directly and get Search engines penalizing you on this, hence putting this SEO Method to Null.
E. Finally, don’t forget the basics; e.g. Meta tags, Search engine friendly URL’s, <h1> title tags as Carl teaches, commenting on other with your links e.t.c.
In conclusion you may feel free to link to this article, comment and share your methods, mine works but it’s not the only way. You may also pick on one of the tools and expand on it fully; otherwise if I was to expound on each of them I’d have to do an ebook, Lol…
If you like this article there is a membership site to be launched in six months time called integrated Internet Marketing that helps ordinary offline businesses to adopt online marketing as well as helping the Digital Products Internet marketers to build successful, ongoing and profitable Online businesses.
We also will be able to turn such great Formula articles as this into videos, as The Expert David Jenyns has done and then later on share them to members on our site
To your Success,

Blogging Using Leverage
This article is guest posted by Froi.
Currently there is a very tough competition on the Internet when it comes to creating traffic and techniques to attract visitors. Although SEO techniques could help one way or the other, but due to the reality of so many blogs being created daily with so many people also competing on the same technique. I think there will always be some new trend of ways and technique that other blogger should adopt for you to be able to cope out with this fast changing world.
Well remember the saying, that the only constant thing in this world is change.
I will use leverage here as some techniques in which you use other people’s resources or effort as well as also giving back in exchange of the favor you done for them.
Here are 2 personal blogging leverage that I think could be of help
1. Looking for other blogger that is open for guest blogs.
Although this is a common practice, but this one is really effective. This helps you established a good relationship with the blogger as well as being given the opportunity to create traffic by being a guest blogger, specially if the blogsite is already a well known blog or website.
2. Try to scout for some foundations, orphanage, church communities of your religions,civic organizations, clubs, and non-government organizations or by which their organization is divided whether into chapters or districts.
Try to approach their leaders or the press officer and lay-out this plan for them in a way that they will understand that both parties will benefit from it. Just make sure that they are open-minded people when it comes to technology.
And why this one could help? Because still there are so many of them out there who have lots and lots of activities and press releases that they want to put into a blog or website but no one can do it for them. You can volunteer to put up a site whether it’s a blog or just a pure website for them in exchange of the posts, write-ups and articles that they will provide for you. While you just add your affiliate marketing posts and links in exchange of your service.
However this 2 techniques will still depend on the blogger’s way of communicating as well as the sincerity and credibility of doing such approach.
Whatever you choose, try to put your heart in it and you might not notice that you had done 1 step further to your goals.
Keep on Blogging : )

Which Is Better – Link Building Through Guest Blog Posts Or Through Comments?
This article is guest posted by Mohammad Arshad.
Without any ranting let me tell you my answer first .My answer to the question “Is link building through guest blogging better than comment posting” is ‘I do not know’.So then why am i giving you this article ? Because i want you to know it is still uncertain that which method is viewed as superior in the eyes of Google bots .So do not just stick with the link building through blog commenting.
Try to build links through both Guest blogging and blog commenting.Most of the webmasters believe that Google is capable of finding where the link to a particular blog or website lies [whether on the article or on any other sections on a webpage].How does Google detect it ? Simple.Google might see if there are surrounding texts in the links to your blog.Another way to detect the Blogroll links or the footer links would be to see which section of webpage is repeated through the entire webpages in the domain .By this way Google might come to a conclusion that the link has not been obtained through the article but either through commenting or footer links .
You might all be knowing the fact that Googlers also play a vital role in tweaking the Google algorithms.I mean people working in Google dont just develop the algorithms,test them and leave them do everything on their own.Optimizing the algorithms is a continuous process.People responsible for the Google algorithm optimization would definitely be knowing every way we bloggers and SEO people try to dominate the SERP and are constantly trying to counteract them.So it makes perfect sense they might also be looking into these matters [link building through comments].So nothing can be taken for granted.My advice as i already said is to concentrate on both methods of link building.As far as my method of link building is concerned i use varied sources for my links.I use both methods discussed here .But i make sure i read the article and then give out a useful comment.So i request you to do the same on blogs on which you comment solely for the purpose of link building.There is so much to do after starting a blog and creating articles on your blog.One of the thing that you must do is link building.So make sure you spend a lot of time reading link building articles and also involve actively in link building.This is what would be deciding whether your blog lives long or dies in a short period.
There is nothing said by Google regarding all these mysteries.The only thing we could do is to concentrate on both rather than just relying on blog commenting.And i feel that Guest blogging is much more than blog commenting.Guest blogging can be much more useful to your blog reputation than blog commenting.Yes ofcourse Guest blogging might be a tedious process because blog owners would need you to give a unique and quality article but it is definitely worth.There are many bloggers unaware of what guest blogging means.Hope this article gets them going in the right track .I have made observations about what popular bloggers and SEO people say about link building through articles and other ways [commenting ] .Let me give you the screen shots below :
Aaron Wall has suggested below that commenting does not add to search engine value but iam not sure if he meant the nofollow links or both types :
As you could have seen in the above screenshots, there is so much uncertainty about this topic ; so make sure you try out both methods and increase your blog authority.I would love to hear what you think about the link building methods just discussed .So please drop your comments below.

3 Authority Backlinks You Can Build Today
This article is guest posted by Patric Herber of pnhnetwork.com.
If you plan to dominate the search engines you are going to need backlinks, and if you are going to spend your time building backlinks then they might as well from strong authority websites. Of course you are all now staring at your monitor wondering how you are supposed to do that, right?
Actually, its pretty easy! There are literally millions of prime link spots just waiting to be picked by the next person who strolls along, you just have to find them! First I will show you how to find your own backlinks and then I will share some of my secret stash with all of you.
Best Methods for Building Authority Links
There are so many different ways to find and build backlinks, some methods will vary from niche to niche. Here are my favorites, why not see how you can adapt them to fit your website.
- Become a Guest Contributor – Carl did a great job of covering guest blogging in another post, so I will just touch on this briefly. You can almost guarantee that there is at least one website/blog in your niche that will accept a guest post, you just have to find them. For instance, if you are in the real estate industry you can write for sites like Real Estate License Direct, in the make money online and home based business industry you can write for Carl and many others. I usually find a site that I like and send them a friendly email expressing my interest in writing for them, you will be amazed at how easy it is.
- Social Communities – There are so many authority social communities out there that using them to build backlinks could easily take weeks. While social bookmarking is a great way to build easy links, its not the only option in town. You can also use your profile pages to build links. Some social communities also offer free blogs that you can utilize as a link building resource. Be sure to check back on your pages and see that they were indexed by the search engines. It never hurts to drop a few links to those pages so that they will get picked up by Google.
- Blog Commenting - This is one method that I tend to use very conservatively. I am not a big fan of spammers, so I try to always add quality comments and contribute to each blog. Becoming a part of the community is often more valuable than the link itself, so keep that in mind the next time you are dropping a quick comment. Here is a list of over 500 dofollow blogs to get you started.
- Forum Signatures - Link building via forum signatures is a debateable method, some think they are of little value and others disagree. I have seen plenty of websites rank very well thanks in large part to their forum signatures so I feel that they do add value. There are a lot of authority forums out there, here is a list.
- Article Marketing – If used selectively, article marketing can be a great way to build links for your niche site. Google has devalued many of these links, so you are best to only contribute unique articles to the highest authority article directories.
I am sure I am forgetting a few methods, but those should get you started. I know from experience that just the above methods could literally take you months to cover completely.
3 Authority Backlinks You Can Build Today:
Below are 5 authority websites that allow dofollow backlinks. I highly recommend that you use these resources with care or the webmasters will certainly stop allowing new links.
- Stanford Law School - Visit http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/people-and-blogs click on an article title, click on add a comment, fill out the form include a relevant on topic comment and you will have an authority dofollow .edu backlink to your site.
- Wikio – Visit http://www.wikio.com, click on sign-up in the upper right hand corner, create and verify your account, log-in to the website and click on publish an article, fill out the article title and body, preview and click submit. You are done!
- MSDN Blogs - Visit http://blogs.msdn.com click on the join link, fill out your information, verify the account, return to http://blogs.msdn.com, click on a recently published title and leave a good comment on the page. There are numerous blogs on this site, it is a pr 7 and most blogs have dofollow comments.
These link opportunities don’t even put a dent in the available links out there, but they will give you an idea of what to look for, how to go about getting the links and how to find similar links on other websites. Enjoy and remember what one ancient wise man once said:
He who abuses his link sources will soon no longer have any link sources to abuse!

How To Get Instant Traffic And Backlinks Using The NEW Article Marketing
Early this morning, Adam asked…
Just wanted to get your thoughts on article marketing. Is it a good system to get backlinks and a good position in SERPS for low to medium competitive keywords, with under 1 million results.
Article marketing is very old school, to say the least.
The technique works like this…
You write a 300 word article with an about the author blurb at the bottom slapped with your link then you submit it to hundreds of article directories. It worked like a charm then because Google won’t mind duplicate articles – but today, Google doesn’t give that much weight to links from duplicate articles.
So most people nowadays submit an article to the top article directories only, wait for it to rank in the search engine results page (SERPS) then traffic comes – but not so many backlinks and not that quality.
How Do You Gain Backlinks Through Article Marketing Today?
Imagine, you write a 300 word article, submit it to one website and the next day, your traffic jumps, your article spreads to hundreds of websites and you get quality backlinks.
Not a lot, but quality.
The New Article Marketing
The idea is simple, instead of submitting your article into article directories, you submit it to authoritative blogs in your niche.
Basically, when your article gets posted on their blog, you get a backlink just like in the about the author blurb.
But here’s 5 magical things the new article marketing has to offer…
- You get traffic on the day your article gets posted
- You only submit to one blog
- You get targeted traffic
- Your article will be talked about on the blog giving a chance for it to spread on other blogs too
- You get quality backlinks
In My Experience
Back to Adam’s question, is it a good system to get backlinks and a good position in SERPS for low to medium competitive keywords, with under 1 million results?
It’s good.
It still works in my experience – but why not go to the best which is the new article marketing?
Less work, more results.
