Link Building3 100x100 Effective Link Building Strategies & Tips Part IPart I – What is link building on websites all about?

As I had said earlier, your overall goal should be to attract and drive specific traffic in order to get the most bang for your time and effort.

Find out more about Link Builder

In this Part One of five series we’re going to discuss 4 areas:

  • Back Links
  • Directories
  • Reciprocal Links
  • How to check for back links in my website
  • How to check for “key” directories for my website

Back Links:

These are simply links to your website from other websites and in the process they bring “traffic.”  Google and other major search engines consider the number of incoming links to your website, what we refer to as link popularity, as an extremely important factor when ranking your website.  You’ve heard of PageRank right?  Essentially this ranking system indicates the quantity and quality of incoming links.  But be very careful here!  Not just any kind of link is good for your website….in fact sometimes the wrong kind of link to your website can have negative repercussions on your website.

Directories:

In the back link section that we talked about above we hinted at good links and bad links to your website.  Submitting your website to “key” directories can get your website very quality type links.  Getting a link from a directory helps your ranking because it’s coming from a very strong link partner and it will drive traffic to your website as well.  The mistake that most clients make here is that they often times will submit their website to just about any directory on the planet.  Finding specific and key directories will help get the right kind of links and traffic to your website.  We’ll show you how to find key directories in another section below.

Reciprocal Links:

The key to requesting reciprocal links is to find complimentary websites to your website and to make sure they are smaller websites that may consider linking to your website.  Clients sometimes try to go after very large websites that have an enormous amount of traffic.  Most of these webmasters either don’t have the time or really don’t have any incentive linking to a website that has less traffic.  Try concentrating on websites that have a similar amount of traffic that your website is getting.  An effective way to find similar website is to Google link exchange or value exchange services.  They’ll match your website with similar theme/topic content.

How to check for back links in my website:

There are primarily two ways you can check for back links to your website.  First, type this format for your individual website, link:domainname.com in a Google search engine.   Be careful that you do not put any spaces in it and make sure you put your correct extension.  For example if your domain name is a .net then replace .com with .net etc.  The second way to check for back links to your website is logging into your Webmaster Tools account within Google then access your Dashboard area and you will see a section labeled “links to your site.”

How to check for “key” directories for my website:

The easiest way to find key directories for your website is to type one of your keywords+directories in a Google search engine.  For example if I were searching for my website it would look like this; coach+directories.  The result will include key directories for your niche.

The main thing to remember is that link building will bring more traffic to your website and it will also effectively increase your PageRank.

How To Make Money Blogging With The Right Keywords

Logo without background 150x150 How To Make Money Blogging With The Right KeywordsI’m often asked why Blogging?

Very simple and not at all very hard to understand if you understand marketing and promoting technique’s online.  Blogger’s online have tapped into one of the fastest ways of getting traffic.  Ah, but it’s not just any old traffic….it’s a specific audience they’re trying to direct to their blog and website!  You see, most people setting up a new business online think that all you need to do is bring “traffic.” But its not general traffic we need to get, it’s a specific audience we’re looking for.  By tapping into specific keywords we’re able to direct a specific audience to our blog and website.

Before you can start blogging about a specific topic you really need to have a set of keywords to at least begin your blog.  You need the right keywords and to get the right keywords you need a very good tool that makes this process very simple, straight forward and very quick!

I prefer to use the Wordtracker SEO Blogger 1.0.3 tool.  I’ve listed a few of the benefits of using this tool:

  1. Once downloaded you can start using it immediately within your Firefox browser as it comes as an extension for a FireFox.   Internet Explorer is in the works.
  2. No need to go off to do separate keyword research.
  3. You can use this tool with absolutely any blog publishing software.
  4. You can stay focused and concentrate your research only on the post you’re writing and not having to keep going back and forth from your keyword research tool and your actual posting software.
  5. You can compare keywords instantly to find out which ones pack the most SEO Punch.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this is the best tool…what I’m saying is, this is the “only” tool that allows you to do keyword research at the same time as you’re writing your post!  Now how convenient and time saving is that?

Building A Customized Website – WordPress

On By

PsToolBox by Artdesigner.lv 100x100 Building A Customized Website WordpressFrom time to time. . .

I will post an occasional “recommendation” or “testimonial” from a recent client simply because the project may have been a very unique project such as this one.  I was contracted to build a very unique and artistic web creation with certain parameters and I had to stay within those parameters.

However, instead of telling you what the parameters are let me give you a list of customized items I coded or embed the code within this WordPress website:

  • Graphic pages only, no content at all.
  • Invisible navigation menu that appear when hovering.
  • Image mapping with multiple links on the graphic images.
  • One color on website.
  • Shopping cart integrated with WordPress’s  log in system.
  • Navigation menu to be placed at the bottom, not at the top.
  • Website page that can download music, images and video’s.
  • Member area and separate log in for members area.

I could go on but you get the picture.  It was fairly easy to customize this particular website, especially because I was using WordPress.  I have had projects that can be a little nerve racking but anytime I use a WordPress platform it is fairly easy to customize.

I wanted to share this project mainly to reiterate to you that if you’re wanting to use a Website platform that requires a few or a lot of customization using a WordPress platform makes your job much, much easier and it simplifies your life.  And simplifying your life is always a good thing.
