How To Increase Your Link Popularity – PART 1

Search engines are the gateway to the Internet; they are the
first tool that potential customers use to find the products and
services they need. This is why link popularity is so
imperative. If the customers do not find your website, you have
no possibilities of making any sales.

You’re probably wondering what the blazes is popular about a
link! Well, in a word – plenty! Link popularity refers to the
ranking assigned to your website by the search engines, and it
determines the ranking your page gets when keywords are entered
into a search engine. So, you’re probably wondering, how do I
make my link popular?

Search engines are discretionary, giving status and ranking to
sites that have links to their pages from related, quality
sites. It’s a simple formula, but a very important one. Google
created the system, and now virtually all the most popular
search engines employ it to rank your web pages in their indexes.

The more commonly used your keyword is, the harder it will be to
achieve link popularity, but without achieving this step, it is
almost certain your site will never rank highly on any search
engine. But don’t be discouraged; there are tried and true ways
of achieving link popularity using the most competitive keywords.

]]>

There are a few things you should be aware of. The first is that
just linking up with a large number of other websites will not
achieve link popularity. In fact, it may have quite the opposite
effect. This is particularly true when pertaining to websites
that are nothing more than “link farms” – pages containing line
after line of indiscriminate links. Search engines may
aggressively discriminate against your website if you are
associated with a link farm, so steer clear of them!

The next thing to bear in mind is the quality of the site you
are linking to. Never link to a page you have reservations about
your visitors seeing. The last thing you want your website to
appear as is indiscriminate and cheap. Linking to sites of poor
quality will only lessen your link popularity, if not completely
destroy it.

So let’s get to what you need to do to achieve supreme link
popularity and improve your rankings to stellar status on all
the popular search engines.

The first step, and the fastest way to get your foot in the
door, is to get a listing in a popular directory, such as Open
Directory Project and Yahoo. If your site is business-related,
you will want to be listed on Yahoo, and despite the fact that
it will cost you around 0 a year, it will be money well
spent. If your site is non-commercial, the listing will be free,
but it will take time and follow-up to actually get it listed.
Open Directory is gives you a free listing whether you are
business-related or non-commercial, but be prepared to make a
lot of follow-up inquiries before you see your site listed.

You are aiming to get listed in the highest level of appropriate
category, and this just takes some common sense. For example, if
your company ships Alpaca wool from an Alpaca farm located in
the middle of Nowhere, Tiny State, do NOT submit your listing to
“Retailers from Nowhere, Tiny State.” BIG MISTAKE! All you have
to do is look a little deeper – and submit your listing to the
“Fine Alpaca Wool” category. You will not only associate
yourself with culture and quality, but you will be listed in a
national category.

Increasing Link Popularity (Part 2)

Article by Vonnee

To achieve supreme link popularity and improve your rankings to leading status on all the popular search engines, here are the few steps you need to do.

First step: get a listing in a popular directory like Open Directory Project and Yahoo. If your site is business-related, you may wish to be listed on Yahoo,and in spite that it will cost you around 0 a year, the money will be well spent. The listing will only be free for non-commercial site, but it will take time and follow-up to actually get it listed.

On the other hand, Open Directory gives you free listing whether you arebusiness-related or non-commercial, but you will have to make a lot of follow-up inquiriesbefore you see your site listed. Your goal is to get listed in the highest level ofsuitable category.

Second step: To find other quality sites that will increase your linkpopularity after you have achieved directory listings.Finding sites that are in some way relavant to yours, will help to boost your link popularity and at the same time your customer base may also be extended.Do look for sites that are useful to your site’s visitors but not your competitors.

Do some research first when you are looking for possiblelinking partners as not all sites want to link to other sites.You may want to use Google for your search and entering keywords that you think quality customers will also enter to find your own site.

keep in mind that your criteria are quality, highly ranked,non-competing websites that have a resources or links page.Visit these sites and objectively evaluate them. Look at thequality of the product, ease of use and the graphics.Then check out the other sites they are linked to anddecide if your own site would blend in with the crowd.

Once you have a good prospect, start off with adding a linkon your own links page to their site. After you have added theirlink, contact their site’s webmaster since this is always done byemail, you want to be sure that your message is not perceive as a junkmail.

Next, be sure to emphasize that that you appreciated andhave actually visited their site, and their site is not a random pick. Give them the address of your links page, and invite them to check out the link for themselves.It’s a good idea to specify to them that not only will they benefitfrom the increased traffic your website will direct their way,but you will also increase their link popularity.

Finally, tell them you would greatly appreciate if they would jointly add a link on their own links page to your website.Go through this process with as many suitable sites asyou can find. Be sure to check these website regularly to see ifthey have added a link to your page. If after a month your site is still not present on their links page, then it’s timeto remove their link from your own links page.

You may need to check on your ranking in search engines on a regualr basis to see if your link popularity has improved.It will definately take some time and a good deal of work until you achieve link popularity stardom!

See this article, if you are part of GoDaddy’s affiliate program or any other domain affiliate program

GoDaddy are a great hosing comapny, but i cant say the same about their affiliate program. The commission rate just isnt good enough….

Now if you are part of GoDaddy’s affiliate program, and you know how to sell domains….we think we’ve got someting you’ll like.

How about an affiliate program that pays you for not only the purchases you make, but the purchases your downline make up to 5 levels deep at the same commissin rate…

Global Domains International pay commission on 5 levels deep.

here’s an example of the commission structure:

If Jim joined GDI and told 5 friends about GDI…all 5 of his friends joined.

Jim would be getting paid /month so far as those 5 people are in his first level (Who Jim personally recruited)

Then those 5 friends tell another 5 people each and they all joined to.

Jim would then be getting paid /month (remember, Jim only personally recruited 5 people)

Now if this process carried on up to 5 levels (5 times) then Jim would be getting paid 05/month from 5 people, simply because Jim has been getting paid through all 5 levels and his wallet is growing as quick as his network!

there’s more to it then just the great affiliate commission structure…

GDI also have a weekly bonus refferal program…..

Here’s how it works, if you tell 5 people about GDI and they all sign up within a week and become active members (successful payment on first attempt from 7th day of free trial), then you get 0, just like that!

So if you recruit 20 people in a week, then that’s 0 going towards your PayPal account. Terms and Conditions do apply with this bonus program.

You can read more about the bonus referral program or just about gdi in general here, Global Domains International (GDI) Affilliate commission structure & bonuses.

So there you have it, the Global Domains International affiliate program.

You can find more information at the link given above.

If you know how to sell domains on the net or even offline, Global Domains International is for you. They also offer a 7 day free trial for you to test the product and services. If your not happy with it, you can leave any time and you wont get charged a single penny/cent.

Domain Names 101 (Part 1)

It would be a delight if I can share some of my knowledge and experience with you. (Domain name, huh?????????) A domain name is the name of a particular website. For example, the site you are just reading is  Hubpages and http: //www. bukisa.com is the domain name
 

What is Domain Registration?

Definition of Domain Name Registration: Domain Name Registration is the procedure by which a company or individual secures a website domain such as http://www.yoursite.com from a domain name company (Domain name Registrar) for a fixed period of time (usually a year). Before registration expires it must be renewed, or the domain reverts back to being available to the general public.

Cost : In the past, Domain names were expensive. All Domain name registrars would charge a flat fee of 70$ for registering a domain name for two years. But now you can get a domain name for even less than 10 dollars.

Bulk Domain name Registration: If you are serious about your online presence than you should consider bulk Domain name registration. Now what the heck is Bulk Domain Name Registration? It is the process of buying many identical domain names with different tails. For example, Google has done something identical to bulk domain registration.

http://www.google.comhttp://www.google.com.pkhttp://www.google.co.in/http://www.google.co.uk

In the same way, I discovered a website that was registered as .com, .org, .net, .biz, .co.uk and .edu.uk. A major benefit of having a bulk domain name registration for your site is to prevent the more unscrupulous cyber sitters from piggybacking on the success of your website.

Wholesale domain name registration is an increasingly popular way for webmasters to register multiple domain names at the same time at a fraction of their individual costs combined. Many Domain name Registrars offer extremely low registration fees if you opt for Wholesale Domain Name Registration. However some people tend to abuse both Bulk Domain name Registration and Wholesale Domain Name Registration by buying multiple domain and adding a small amount of text but a lot of advertisements.
 

Levels of a Domain name.

The above mentioned parts of a domain name (labels) correspond to the levels of a domain name
 

The right-most label conveys the top-level domain; for example, the domain name www. example. com belongs to the top-level domain com. The top-level domains (TLDs) are the highest level of domain names of the Internet. They form the DNS root zone of the hierarchical Domain name System. Every domain name ends in a top-level or first-level domain label.. There are many types of domain names i. e., the most popular being. com. Other examples are. pk,. uk,. au, and. net.

Below the top-level domains in the domain name hierarchy are the second-level domain (SLD) names. These are the names directly to the left of. com,. net, and the other top-level domains. As an example, in the domain en. wikipedia. org, wikipedia is the second-level domain. Second-level (or lower-level, depending on the established parent hierarchy) domain names are often created based on the name of a company (e. g., bbc. co. uk), product or service (e. g., gmail. com).

Next are third-level domains, which are written immediately to the left of a second-level domain.

There can be fourth- and fifth-level domains, and so on, with virtually no limitation.

An example of an operational domain name with four levels of domain labels is www. sos. state. oh. us. The www preceding the domains is the host name of the World-Wide Web server. Each label is separated by a full stop (dot). ’sos’ is said to be a sub-domain of ’state. oh. us’, and ’state’ a sub-domain of ‘oh. us’, etc. In general, subdomains are domains subordinate to their parent domain.

The hierarchy of domains descends from the right to the left label in the name; each label to the left specifies a subdivision, or subdomain of the domain to the right. For example: in http: //www. example. com/ the label example specifies a subdomain of the com domain, and www is a subdomain of example. com.

Internet Based Business Ideas to Start Part Time

Have you been standing around the coffee pot at work or even the water fountain having conversations with people thinking of different internet based business ideas? There are many different part time internet based business ideas that are within reach if you know what to look for.

First Thing is First

Why would you want to start an internet based business and is it even possible to start one part time? Many people start an internet based business for a wide variety of reason, ranging from lost job, poor work environment at their current employer or just looking for additional income. Besides the income, there are many other reasons that people find this option very beneficial; spending more time with the spouse and children, more freedom to do what you enjoy (golf) and flexibility to work when you want and no more bosses. The second part of the question is it possible to start one part time, the answer is definitely yes, this is how most people start, and this is how I started.

Can you write?

There are always people on the internet looking for original content that is pulled together in a way that pulls on people’s emotions and encourages them to take action. This is actually a very sought after trade as the internet now ranks original content that is pulled together in a way that helps other people and solves their problems. Do you have a couple friends that also have the desire to start a part time internet based business; join forces and start a company that writes content for marketers.

Become an Affiliate Marketer

This is actually one of the easiest and low risk ways to have a part time internet bases business, you have no product that you have touch or store at your house. We have all heard the horror stories of people having garages full of products that they were trying to sell, those days are over thank the lord. As an affiliate marketer you are promoting another person’s service or product and obtaining a predetermined amount of commission from them. The secret to this lucrative business is to choose a product or service that has not been saturated but there is also a need.

Become a Web Designer

Do you have at least one creative bone in your body? While you may think that you don’t, many people can surprise themselves with the creative ideas that they come up with. While the internet is hot and many people are starting an online business and wants blogs, websites and graphics that are better than their competitors, web designers are becoming a great person to be. You can learn how to use Wordpress and help people build their blogs which is actually quite easy but many people become overwhelmed with all the options and details that can come with building a blog. I personally know people that charge 150-200 an hour or thousands of dollars for a complete project; it just depends on the level of detail needed to complete the project.

Blogging is an internet phenomenon. You should really take the
time to learn how to use this powerful tool to market your
affiliate program.

A Blog is basically an online web log or journal, so to speak.
There are literally millions of blogs on the internet today and
they are all varied and different; they are different not only
in the type of content they provide but also in the way that
the content is written or delivered to its target audience.

Some blogs will be all text based and yet others will
incorporate audio and video. How creative you get is limited
only by your creativity. Your job is to create and use blogs
that deal specifically with the product you are promoting. As
such, considering you are marketing my program we would want to
focus on blogs that deal with real estate investing,
purchasing, and of course where to locate the source of funds
one needs to compete in today’s real estate market. The key
here is to be very narrow in your approach. What I mean by that
is that you should stay away from “general” discussion blogs
and focus more on the targeted “niche” information.

For example, you might want to start a blog about “general real
estate practices,” or “how to invest in real estate,” or
something like that. These blogs are way to generic and general
in nature and not suitable for your purposes. You want a very
focused blog; something along the lines of “finding real estate
investors,” or “Finding the money to do your real estate deal.”
The point is to create a blog that meets the criteria of being
very focused. The reason for this is quite simple. If you were
to type in the search term “real estate investing” or “How to
invest in real estate,” you are going to get over 22 million
responses. However, when you narrow it down to a very specific
topic like “finding money for real estate deals” you have
narrowed it down to a little over one million. People online
that you want to market to will be using very specific search
terms. Your job is to create a blog that meets those narrow
search criteria.

Once you find the search criteria that you think your customers
will be using you are going to want to create a blog that
meets those needs and you want to start posting on that blog.
At first, please, do not make any mention of your affiliate
program. Just post commentary on the blog. For example, if you
use the search term “finding money for real estate deals” you
will find that one of the top search results is a blog that was
started very simply with word press and quite frankly is not
that impressive. Your job is to make a better blog. And by the
way, you may want to seriously consider having more than one
blog! Remember, the key to a great blog is to be very targeted
with the information you are discussing.

Understand the nature of the person you are marketing to. Most people do not want to buy! They want information. Your job is to leverage information! So create a blog that deals specifically with the information people are looking for. Provide them with relative and insightful blog entries and continue to make blog posts.

Make sure that you use the same “key words” every time so that
your blog comes up in the search results and makes people want
to click on your blog for the information they are looking for.

To start your blog I would recommend that you read my e-book
“How to get all the money you need to buy property,” and then make a blog entry reviewing the book. Get a conversation started on it. Get people to comment on your blog about their experience with the book. Hell, give the book away to your friends and family and ask them to go to your blog and post some comments. Be creative. The more people you have talking about the book the easier it is going to be later to get them and others to buy.

Remember what I said about using the same key word. In this
case your key words would be “Alan Cowgill” and “How to get all
the money you need to buy property. “Try using those two
statements at least twice in each blog entry you make. Perhaps
you might want to make a blog entry for each chapter. Again,
the key here is to get creative!

Once you have a good discussion going you are now going to want
to insert your “leverage.” For example; next to the blog entry
about the e-book or the chapter you are discussing at the
time, you may want to consider entering a link and commentary
letting people know that they can download their own free copy
of the e-book so that they can join the commentary! The key
here is to get them to download the book and to capture their
email address. Make it a requirement that they provide you with
a “good” and “viable” email address so that you can send them
the link where they can download the book. This guarantees you
that you are getting good contact information from them. This
helps you build an email distribution list.

Lastly, once you have a loyal following you can start making
blog entries about the affiliate program you are promoting. For
example, you may want to make a blog entry about Chapters three
and four of the E-book and then follow it up with;

You can learn more about this topic by visiting Alan’s website
and attending one of his seminars or better yet getting one of
his home study courses. Click here for more information.

This is where you can insert your “affiliate link” to make sure
you get the credit! The key here to remember is that you want
to leverage information so that people trust you and the
information you are providing. Once they trust you and you have
a relationship with them, that is when you insert your
leverage!

We should mention that starting a blog is easy and fun! Did we
forget to mention that you can start one for free!? Although we
normally do not make a practice of recommending products or
services from other companies we decided to make an exception
in this case. If you want to start your blog and need to do it
as easily and as inexpensively as possible then we would
recommend that you check out Word Press. You can find them
easily with a search engine.

To your success,

E. Alan Cowgill

PS. To get an idea of how to put a Blog together you should go
online and take a look around at some of the more popular blogs
to get some great ideas on how you should do yours.

Many people wonder what exactly is a blog, and how can it help their business, if at all. This is a common question that people ask me as I make big money on the internet with blogs, but before you can make big money with blogs you must first understand what blogs are all about, because many people simply don’t know.And then you can make money online.

The blog has been around for years, however just came into major popularity in the last three years. The weblog, or blog is simply a application that allows users to post written text that gets immediately posted to the web, like an online journal of sorts. The blog is something that is meant to be as easy to use as the word processor application on your computer. While most websites take hours to update, a blog can be updated in real time, as quick as one would save a file to a computer.

This is partly what makes blogs magical. Blogging is a great way to get information on the internet inexpensively with friendly results, such as high search engine ranking, and free advertising. The blog, with it’s variety of keyword heavy posts allows people to make money off of the high return result on a search engine like Google. What this means is that if you are selling home security systems, and you create a blog about good deals on such systems, chances are people looking for a security system will come across your blog in the search engine. This added exposure will surly help more people notice your business, and make purchases, thus creating greater business for you.

For first time bloggers, a free blogging web site is a great way to get started in the blogosphere. Popular blogging web sites like blogger.com and wordpress.com allow users to set up and host a blog without paying any fees at all. This encourages people to start blogging, because the fact that one of these sites can provide you with all of the tools that you need to get your blog up and running without spending any money means that you have nothing to lose by starting a blog.

The fact that it is so easy to find a way to blog for free is one of the reasons why so many people who have never had any other kind of web presence before find themselves drawn to blogging. By signing up with a free blogging web site, you may find it easier to get listed in search engines that you would if you were starting your own blog from scratch. For example, google runs the free blog hosting site blogspot and crawls its pages very often looking for updates, so if you have your site hosted by blogspot you are almost guaranteed to be listed on google’s blog search engine.

This easy access to search engines can take some of the work out of promoting your blog, and can help you gain a following with a minimum of marketing effort. If your blog attracts a large readership, you may want to consider moving your site. Many people feel that being hosted by a free blogging web site gives a blog a kind of amateur flavor that is fine for a new member of the blogosphere, but is not appropriate for a high profile blog.

However I have seen some very high profile blogs hosted on free platforms. There is a very serious drawback to hosting your blog on a free platform. You do not own the blog. Your blog can disappear….puff!, just like that. No warning, no nothing, just gone. Hey it’s their server, and they can do what they want. I have lost quite a few blogs that I had hosted on wordpress.com. WHY???? I don’t know. So if you feel that you want to invest a little bit of work into this blogging thing, then host your own blog.

Having your own domain can help you make your blog feel professional, and finding a company that will host your domain is not difficult or expensive. Once your blog takes off, you will probably be able to sell enough advertising space and/or affiliate/adsense to pay for a hosting package, and still have money left over. Domain name.$10.00. Hosting $10.00 a month.

Starting your blog on a free blogging web site is a great way to build a following before you spend any money on your blog,you can write the things you love like i do on how to make money online blog. If you do use a free blog system, then have a way to capture names, and email addresses. If and when your blog becomes popular and you are ready to take the next step and purchase your own domain, your readers will follow you to your new home.

If you get shut down you will have a way to contact your readership. The fact that it is possible to use a free blog host like blogspot.com as a kind of incubator for your blog is great news for bloggers everywhere. There are some good free blog host out there, but I would stay away from “wordpress.com”. I have registered a blog with them make one post and have them shut down the blog and never get a reason why.

Here are a few common “blog-related” words to help you out:

1) Permalink – Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (uniform ressource locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog.

2) Trackback – When you post about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger.com account.

3) Pinging – Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to gaining traffic, which we shall discuss later.

Blog Content

First off, I want you to understand that there is no fixed scope that your blog should have, which means you can write about whatever you’re interested in. However, the difference between a profitable blog and a non-profitable blog is the way the blog is written. Just imagine, would you prefer to read your university professor’s lecture notes or the latest novel by your favorite author? You may prefer to read the novel because it appeals more to your interest, or because it is not as mind-numbing as the lecture notes by your professor.

However, the most important point is people like to read “light” stuff most of the time. You see, when people log on to your blog, they are not only looking for information – they are also looking for information they can obtain easily, and better still in a relaxed manner. So, to attract more visitors as well as to keep your current visitors coming back for more, it is very important to add a human touch to your blog posts. This can be done by simply imagining you’re talking about a certain topic with your personal friend.

An extra bonus for your readers would be a great sense of humor, so try to add funny comments in your articles where they are suitable. Another important key point is to avoid addressing your reader as a plural unit. What I really mean is you should not write as if you’re preparing a speech. Instead, you should write as if you’re having a conversation to a single person because this will make your visitor think of you more as a personal friend rather than a person of higher authority.
