Giving Away Truly Valuable Tools Leads to Effortless Affiliate Marketing

Have you checked this site recently to see new, proven, money-making, time-saving strategies just added by Stone Evans of pluginprofitsite? What of the valuable 47 Newbies videos to put you through most problems you cannot but have to face as a marketer? It takes care of everything you need to know.
We are experts in bringing the best home business ideas and opportunities to your door step and helping you to suceed online within the shortest possible time. You have no excuse to fail online any longer unless you have decided to.The choice is yours.
http://www.ApexHomeBusiness.com



If you have been on the internet for even a couple of days, you have already seen at least one site, if not several, that wants to entice you to sign up for their newsletter in exchange for information and a give away of some kind.

Usually, and for the past several years, these give aways ranged from an email series of hard to find information, to a report or even full ebooks. When people first arrive on the scene, an ebook in exchange for simply signing up to a newsletter seems like a great deal!

But if you have been around awhile you know two things for sure:

1) Most of these offers are for books and reports you can find elsewhere, or that have little true value.

2) Now that giving away an ebook to get subscribers has been a successful method of list building for years, it has become common place and not as effective as it used to be.

And through my research I have found that software, above all else, pulls better than anything else I have used to attract subscribers and new customers.

People love software solutions. Especially when those solutions involve doing something in minutes that would normally take hours or days to do, thus simplifying their lives immensely.

In my latest case study, which many of my list members were a part of recently, I announced software that would create a 75 page site loaded with 20 different ways to generate income, keyword-laden content pages, and more.

The results were fantastic to say the least. As opposed to prior offers for new reports I had written or new ebooks I had rights to give away, this offer pulled in a whopping 512% increase in downloads!

More downloads meant more money to me, since I branded that software with my own affiliate links. A LOT more money. Just in hosting alone, with just one email to my list, I added $210 a month to my income. And new accounts come in daily.

Most people online cannot be, nor will they ever become good web designers. Let alone have the marketing savvy to pull off a really great selling affiliate system out of the gate. This presents a huge opportunity in a market that people have been cashing in on for a long time. Providing a 24 hour solution to a 1 to 2 year learning curve is a very big deal.

And to provide that solution for zero cost is an even bigger enticement, as my statistics are showing me.

To see an example of the software I am having great success with, see this site:
http://www.pluginprofitsite.com/mega.html

This software helps beginners and intermediate level people build the kind of site it took me a year to learn to build when I was starting out. It has professional features galore, including a reciprocal linking solution which is a hot topic these days and a sticking point for most beginners.

In short, it is pure candy and the download statistics are showing that it is something literally hundreds of people on my list alone were very interested in. It's what I call a homerun.

This is how you can brand this particular software and start giving it away to a hungry market that will eat it up with a spoon: http://www.pluginprofitsite.com/megabrand.html

So how can you position yourself to make effortless affiliate income following this model? Simply find a solution, a SOFTWARE solution, which solves a big problem for the biggest market you can find and provide it for them.

You start building trust with people right away when you offer to give them something of real value. And real value these days seems to be at a premium for software.

Finding solutions for people who have no answer to their current dilemma is an effortless marketing tactic in the sense that the give away should sell for you. You should make it as easy to get into your prospects hot little hands as possible for best effect. (Profits!)

How to get 1 Million Hits Without the Search Engines

Jack Humphrey man behind the powerlink 2005, a poweful program for linking strategies.

http://www.ApexHomeBusiness.com/pips

A Primer by Jack Humphrey
http://power-linking-profits.com

I love to show people how they can actually get up to 1 million hits per month using reciprocal links. People are doing it right now all over the web and have the live server log files to prove it. And you probably are thinking, "Yeah they are on top of the search engine lists! Actually, top listing on the search engines is not the cause of their hits! It's a side-effect.

Reciprocal links alone put them in the Million-a-Month Club. Reciprocal links, good ones, can do much more for you than any search engine ever will.

Wow Jack, that's a bold statement, got anything to back that up?

How about the server logs of people getting over a million hits per month who did nothing more than seek out link partners and ONLY submitted to each major search engine ONCE? Would that convince you?

Well check it out. Here are two sites that use reciprocal linking almost exclusively with all other forms of advertising bringing in a relatively negligible amount of traffic. When looking at their live server log files, pay attention to the following things:

1.) Qualified traffic from reciprocal links.

Look at the Refers Report and check the section labeled '/'. Underneath you will find which links and search engines are sending these websites traffic.) Search engine traffic to the sites' Link Directory pages.

In the Refers Report, find the headings that start with /links/, with the name of the Link Directory pages directory after. Search engines send lots of traffic to these pages. These pages were never submitted to the search engines!

Example 1: CTEX CD Replication holds the number one keyword placement on Yahoo for "CD replication." How did they get there? Link popularity! Check out their live server log files at: http://www.ctexinc.com/stats/index.html


Example 2: Toolady.com is a website that has been using reciprocal links for a long time and her web site traffic was generated completely reciprocal links! In four months it became one of the most heavily trafficked bird web sites on the internet. No other form of marketing was done. Check out her server log files here:

http://toolady.com/reports/log_bird.html

So you tell me, are search engines the almighty savior you thought they were a minute ago?


Relevance of Your Links

Relevance has a lot to do with how a search engine robot will treat you nowadays. That's why I always talk about the importance of building a link list or "theme index" for your site (call it a reciprocal link exchange) that closely resembles the topics or products you deal with in your site. (But not those, of course, in direct competition to you.)

Now the FFA and Link Farm people are going to be mad at me, but this is the truth!

Here's a test. If I fail it you may publicly scorn me!

Go to any FFA page on the web and look for Yahoo.com. Try Amazon.com, or CocaCola.com... There must be TONS of their links on FFA pages - EVERYBODY knows those guys! Go ahead and check it out, I'll be here when you get back!

Glad you're back - how many links did you find? None? Yikes!

Now go to Altavista.com and type link:yahoo.com in the search window. What happened? Well, I just did it and it said: We found 6,670,578 results. (By the way, don't you love how the search engine will report millions of links just like it reports none? Doesn't it seem like they would be like "WOW, six million links!!!")

That's 6,670,578 links pointing to Yahoo.com!!

And not a single one from a link farm. Now don't go getting ideas in your head about getting 6 million links. You don't need that many to flood your site with enough traffic to keep you selling widgets, or informing the public on the effects on the ozone layer from methane gas produced by cattle. (What? hey its late, that was the best example I could come up with! How do I know what you're into?)

No, you need far fewer links than that to get 1,000,000 hits a month. And, with a million hits a month, how many methane gas-to-oxygen converters do you think you could sell to farmers to mount on the backs of their cows to protect the ozone layer? I'd say at least a whole heap!

There is automation software out there that people are using to drastically optimize their link lists and I highly recommend checking them out. The best and first of its kind can be found at webmastertraffictools.com.

This software has a fully functioning demo that will spider the web, set up your link directory, AND upload it to your server. It also does a mail-merge function to personalize all your link requests to other webmasters and mails for you. All in the DEMO version!

You CAN do all this manually, but it is highly recommended that you at least check out the automation software demo above to see what the best of the best webmasters are using to get those million hits per month.

(Author's note: It has not yet been proven whether methane produced by cow emissions affects the ozone layer. Example above is fictional.)

When it comes to selling online, one thing is
certain: a small focused website that features just
one lead product will far outsell a big website that
features lots of products and links.

By focusing on just one product, you avoid distracting
your visitors or forcing them to make decisions. That
way, they'll take the time to study your product and
the chances of making a sale are vastly increased.

I can see the evidence for this in my own business.
While the main company website continues to bring
in a steady stream of sales, it's actually the individual
websites for each of my ebooks that are responsible
for the lion's share of orders.

The problem, however, with having one website for every
single product is that it adds a lot of extra overheads.
In general you're looking at minimum $100 for any kind of
webhosting and somewhere between $8 and $35 for a
domain name.

These are not huge figures, but let's face it, costs are
costs and if you're in business you want to keep them as
low as possible.

That's why I felt it was worth sharing with you my little
'trick' for setting up brand new websites for just the
price of a domain name.

This week I launched a new website for my ebook
publishing guide. The TOTAL cost to set up this new
website was just $8.97!

So how did I manage that?

Well, the first step I took was to set up a new folder
(directory) in my existing webhosting account that
would be the 'home' for my new website.

----------------NOTE---------------------
This method can also be applied effectively to many
free hosting services. Just ask your domain name
registrar if they'll be able to redirect to your free
hosting service address before you buy the domain
name.
-------------------------------------------

Next I designed the website, and published it to
the folder I'd just created.

Then, I went along to the domain name registrar and
bought the domain name I wanted for $8.97. The domain
registrar I used offers a whole range of domain name
services completely free (domain parking, URL re-direction,
e-mail re-direction, etc.). If you shop around, you'll find
that there are lots of low-cost registrars that offer such
services for free.

Once I had the domain name, it took me just a couple of
minutes (via the domain registrar's website) to set up the
new domain name to point (or re-direct) to the folder I'd
just created.

I'm even able to 'cloak' the address shown on the browser's
address bar, so that, even though people are surfing on my
sub-folder, what shows up on the address bar is the proper
domain name I'd just purchased.

Finally, the domain name registrar even re-directs my e-mails
for free. This enables me to create new addresses and have
any messages that are sent to these addresses re-directed
to my regular e-mail address inbox.

And that's it! A brand new website -- hosted and all --
for less than $10.

Now there's no excuse not to create sales-focused
mini-websites for ALL your products!


--------Additional Info Added May 17th 2003--------
I've received quite a few questions regarding how to set up the 'cloaking'
and 're-direction' ideas mentioned in this article. To help clarify things,
here's a copy of a typical reply (in all its un-edited glory) that I've sent
in relation to these questions.
NOTE TO EDITORS: If you wish to re-publish this article in your publication,
you are not required to reproduce this note - although you can if you want.

"I'm delighted you like the hosting article. Having just re-read it
for the first time in months, I can see that there's a need to add some
extra information. The cloaking is something that is taken care of
by the domain name registrar (they call it 'framing'). At the time of
writing I was using DNBuy.com, but now I use NameCheap.com
for all my domain names. Both these services include 'Framing' as
a free extra when you buy your domain name - once you have
the domain name you can set it up via your admin control panel.

There are probably other ways to do this using JavaScripts or
such-like (if you already have your domain name and your registrar
doesn't offer 'framing'), but I'm afraid I don't have specific info on
this off the top of my head.

Likewise, both these registrars (and, doubtless, many others) offer
re-direction as part of the package. Again, this can be set up via
the admin control panel once you've bought the domain name.

If you're in doubt, as to whether a given registrar will be able to
provide you with the necessary services to set yourself up, just
contact them and ask them these questions...

- Can I have my domain name re-direct to another URL
of my choice?
- Can I 'cloak' or 'mask' the real URL in the address bar
so that my new domain name shows up instead.
- Can I create email addresses with my new domain
name and then have those emails forwarded to my regular
email inbox?

(The first two are the most important. The third point is useful
but not 100% necessary).

Another point worth noting (and that I need to add to the article)
is that you should make a slight adjustment to the order links (if
you have any) that you place on the page.

On my website http://www.create-pdf-files.com which uses
this cloaking method, I noticed a problem. When someone clicked
the order link and were taken to ClickBank's payment window,
there were two problems. Firstly, the URL address in the address
bar still stays the same which may make a potential customer feel
uneasy - after all they would expect a ClickBank URL. Secondly,
the browser didn't recognize that it was entering a secure page and
didn't display the padlock towards the bottom of the screen. Again,
this would have a negative effect on customer confidence.

Fortunately, it's quite easy get around this problem. For the order
links you should include target = 'parent' to the link. This will break
you out of cloaking and allow the user to continue payment in the
environment he/she expects. Here's how the URL for the order link
would look in HTML...
a href=http://www.YOUR_ORDER_LINK.com" target="_parent"

I hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any
further help with anything."

10 Things You Can Do TODAY To Boost Traffic To Your Website

Don't pay a dime for any ebook, marketing course or software program until you've read this groundbreaking document... Get everything you need to make money online including over 30 time-saving, profit-producing, influence-expanding tools and software programs absolutely *FREE*... HERE
Do you realise you can start making money with your own website with best home business ideas and opportunities,cutting your learning curve by over two years in less than 30 days. Everything completely set up for you with your very own money making website and 365 days ezine-in-a-box all set up for you.HERE

Are you twiddling your thumbs and wondering what
you might do today to bring more visitors to your
website? If so, then twiddle no more!

Here's the challenge: over the next ten days, carry out ONE of
the following strategies EACH (working) day. Just one a day over ten days. It doesn't matter which order you do them in, just do them. I guarantee you, it will give your website a terrific boost.


1) Go to Google.com and run a few searches for keywords related to your business. Find those websites that target the same market as you, but that don't directly compete with you. Contact them and propose a joint venture. You could, for example, exchange advertising with them, offer them a free ebook that they can give to their visitors or invite them to promote your product in exchange for a commission on sales.
This free ebook will give you some good ideas:
http://www.bizzydays.com/downloads/ebook/jointventures.zip


2) Visit forums related to your product/service and get involved in discussions there. Aim to answer people's questions in a competent manner so as to establish yourself as someone 'in the know'. Don't blatantly plug your website or product.

Instead,place a signature at the end of your message with a link to your website. Be sure to check the forum rules (and look at other people's messages) to avoid getting into trouble with other users.


3) Download my free ebook "Over 178,000 Targeted Hits for Free!" and follow the instructions. Get your free copy here: http://freetraffic.bizzydays.com/.


4) Find at least 10 websites to exchange links with. REAL links
on proper content-filled pages are best, but even links in links
pages can be okay (not FFAs, just proper permanent links pages).

Again, find websites targeting the same market and suggest an
exchange of links. Try signing up with sites like LinkPartners: http://www.linkpartners.com.


5) Create a free ebook that is useful to your target market and
start giving it away. You'll find some guidelines on this in this article. To learn the basic steps to compiling an EXE ebook, download a copy of "A Simple Guide to Creating Your Own Ebooks" which is available here.


6) Follow the instructions in this article: http://bizzydays.com/reprint_rights/startpage_exchanges.htm.


7) Write an article of interest to your target market and get
it published across the web. By placing a short bio at the
bottom of the article (with a little info about you or your
product), together with a link to your website, you'll establish
credibility as well as generate traffic. If you think you won't
be able to write an article, try a simple list of tips (just
like this article).

When it's ready, submit your article to ezine publishers that
target the same market as you and also to article directories
like GoArticles.com or IdeaMarketers.com.


8) Download the InstantBoost system and follow the
instructions: http://www.bizzydays.com/instantboost.html


9) Download this free ebook and start taking advantage of free
ezine advertising. In it you'll find a list of over 70 ezines
that will let you place ads for free. Read this article before you start.


10) Follow the steps in this article and get free banner displays across the Internet.

And there you have it! Ten ways to build traffic quickly. Now,
get busy and start putting each step in place. In 10 days time
you'll be glad you did!

Good Luck.

is the key to success for your online business.
But it also happens to be the hardest and most
expensive part.

Fortunately, there's still ONE easy way to bring in floods of quality traffic without spending a cent...

Just write simple articles and submit them for publication in relevant ezines.

It's not new and it's not revolutionary but it DOES work!

There are several benefits to using articles to promote your product or service:

You can generate huge amounts of quality targeted traffic by having your articles published in ezines related to your market.

By having your articles published on other websites (and ezine archives), you'll increase your link popularity as well as directly bring in extra traffic.

By including the articles on your site, you'll have some good keyword-rich content for the search engines to pick up on.

Once you've written a few articles centered around the same topic, compile them into a free ebook and, hey presto, you've got yet another traffic-generating tool!

You can make your articles available to your affiliates as a tool to promote your product.

You instantly enhance your reputation in the eyes of potential customers.

In short, articles are an EXCELLENT promotion and sales tool.

And, despite what you might think, writing quality articles that Ezine publishers WILL use is much easier than you might think.

Consider these titles and see how many articles related to your product/service you could write...

10 Tips For First-Time...
6 Things You Never Knew About...
8 Useful Resources for...
10 Websites That...
These kind of titles ALWAYS work well at attracting the attention of the target audience AND they're quick and easy to write -- all you need is an introduction, the list of points and a concluding paragraph. Heck, just find a few useful websites or free tools related to your subject and you're probably half way there!

Once you've written your article, wait a few days and then read it again. This will give you a fresh perspective to make some improvements and clean up errors. (Don't ignore this step -- it's important).

Now, start submitting your article to article announcement lists and article directories. Here are a few to get you started:

Announcement Lists
(Note: Sending an email will subscribe you to the list. It's best to avoid using your main email address if you don't want to have loads of articles arriving to your inbox every day).
- article_announce-subscribe@egroups.com
- free-content-subscribe@onelist.com
- publishinyours-subscribe@onelist.com
- articles_archives-subscribe@egroups.com

Article Directories:
- GoArticles.com
- EzineArticles.com
- IdeaMarketers.com
- Amazines.com
- NetterWeb.com
- Article Central

Once you've done submitting your article there, it's time to get specific...

Start submitting to relevant ezines and websites inviting them to publish it. You'll find tons of ezines that are crying out for content in Ezine Directories like Zinos.com or Amazines.com.

Make sure the ezines you're submitting to accept articles and, if so, find out if they have specific guidelines for submission. It's a good idea to find out the name of the publisher so that you can personalize your submission.

This is a copy of the message I use when submitting articles. Feel free to copy it and adapt it to your own needs:

Hi,

[YOUR SITE AND URL].

I've included my latest article for you to consider publishing

How To Get High-Quality TARGETED Traffic From StartPage Exchanges!

Promoting your website via Start Page Exchanges is a bit
like holding up a sign at the airport - lots of people see
you but nobody cares.

Basically, with Start Page Exchanges, you set your browser
home page to display a special URL given to you when you
join the Exchange and other members do the same. Their
websites show up as your browser home page and your
website shows up as theirs.

This guarantees extra hits to your website, but the quality
of the traffic isn't the best. There's little or no
targeting so your message rarely reaches the right people.

Furthermore, Start Page Exchanges are closed systems. In
other words, your site is only being promoted to those
people who are ACTIVELY using the system. The same surfer
will probably see your website several times over.

Fortunately, with a little bit of work, you can devise a
Start Page Exchange strategy that will get several systems
working simultaneously and bringing in high-quality,
targeted traffic - not just from members of the exchange
itself, but from right across the Internet.
Here's how it works...

STEP 1 - GET YOUR PAGE RIGHT...

Develop a web page especially for the Start Page Exchanges.
This can be a page from your website (if it's a real
attention grabber) or it can be something separate
altogether. The important thing is that this page has got
to scream "LOOK AT ME!"

Remember, the only people who use Start Page Exchanges are
webmasters. If your own product or service isn't of
interest to webmasters, it will be a hard sell.

Find a product or service that has a good affiliate program
and that's geared towards the needs of webmasters. Promote
that product via your Start Page Exchange page. Try to
offer something for free - an e-book, a demo, a free trial,
or whatever. Many of the better affiliate programs will
give you free stuff to promote. The ClickBank MarketPlace
is a good place to start looking:
http://www.bizzydays.com/resources/cb_marketplace.htm

By way of example, take a peek at the page I use on the
Start Page Exchanges: http://www.bizzydays.com/47k/

Now that you've got an attention-grabbing page that's
geared towards webmasters, let's move on...


STEP 2 - DOUBLE THE TRAFFIC...

This is where we add some extra elements to the page that
brings in lots of extra traffic from outside the exchanges.

If you looked at my example page and then closed it, you'll
have noticed that a separate window then opened in the
background. That Window was 'delivered' by ExitExchange.

By joining ExitExchange (for free) and placing their code
on my Start Page Exchange page, I get my website displayed
to a surfer elsewhere on the Internet for every two times
my Start Page Exchange page is visited.

Furthermore, ExitExchange offers targeting, so I can be
sure that my website is being shown to people who are
interested in what I've got to offer.

In my Start Page Exchange page I've also place an exchange
banner at the bottom. Again, for every two times my Start
Page Exchange page is visited, my banner is displayed on a
book-related website.

These two steps have hugely increased the amount of traffic
my Start Page Exchanges generate AND it brings in
high-quality TARGETED traffic.

But it doesn't stop there! Let's move on to the next step

Promote Numerous Pages from Just
One URL!

With Rotator Maker you can promote any number of pages or products on StartPage Exchanges while using just one web page address. Rotator Maker will display each of the pages in sequence, ensuring that you get maximum exposure for ALL of your products.

Rotator Maker is very easy to use...
No programming knowledge required.
No CGI-Bin needed.
No third-party rotator's ads on your pages.
No difficult installation.
Download your copy of Rotator Maker today, and get FULL RESALE RIGHTS too! That means you can enjoy the benefits of this simple program AND sell it to others for profit.

STEP 3 - AUTOMATE IT...

Now that you've set up your Start Page Exchange page to
maximize the return from each page display, it's time to
maximize the amount of actual page displays you get.

Now, I'm sure you don't want to spend hours clicking
through Start Page Exchange pages to generate hits, which
is why you'll be glad to hear there's an easier way.

Simply download a copy of the "Fully Automatic Hits
Generator", follow the simple steps and you'll generate
tons of Start Page Exchange page displays automatically.

This simple automated system ebook will generate Start Page
Exchange hits for you every day -- and the amount of daily
hits you get will actually increase exponentially!

That means you'll be getting more exposure across a range
of Start Page Exchanges, more displays of your website to a
targeted market and, if you want, more banner displays
across a range of websites.

Generator"

And there you have it!

A simple strategy that will transform Start Page Exchanges
from low-quality, work-intensive promotional efforts into
high-quality, fully-automated, targeted traffic generators.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN E-ENTREPRENEUR?

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

Build Better Link Popularity with Syndicated Articles

There are many schools of thought on how to build strong backlinks to a Web site. Some webmasters build reciprocal links, while others register their site in many directories. Still others do both of those, and rent links as well!

But one method used by a growing number of webmasters is that of building link popularity through the syndication of original articles. Syndicated articles are becoming increasingly popular because article syndication builds permanent links from many different, topically related, keyword rich pages. There are several steps one can take in order to ensure that an article is syndicated as much as possible, and that the links from those syndications are of the highest quality.

1) Write High Quality Articles

The amount of syndication an article receives is directly proportional to the demand for that type of article. Higher quality articles will prove more valuable to webmasters looking to reprint articles. Perfect spelling and grammar are requisite in order to ensure the widest syndication possible. Webmasters will be more inclined to reprint well-researched and well-written articles. Most articles are not of the highest quality, so a higher quality article will stand out significantly.

Articles should be more than simply a place to put a link in a resource box. The goal of article writing should be to make the article itself interesting. An interesting article can be syndicated on websites with high traffic and PageRank. Increasing article syndication will cause the link in the resource box to be copied by many Web sites.

In addition to building more links with higher quality articles, webmasters will find that quality content articles will result in an immediate traffic increase to a site. An article that is appealing to readers will naturally attract a large readership. The more readers an article has, the more likely those readers are to click on the link in the resource box.

2) Manually Submit to Related Sites

Another technique used by many webmasters to increase an article's syndication is to submit articles to related sites. The best syndications and links come from quality sites in a specific niche, not simply article banks. For example, there are many Web sites that will only accept business-related articles. Any webmaster of a business-related website looking to build link popularity should write an article concerning business and submit it to these sites. Potentially, other business sites could take note of a high quality business article and syndicate it on their sites (which are all related under the unique subject of business). Doing this will build topically related links which can improve a Web site’s search engine rankings dramatically.

3) Write a Compelling Title

Articles have to be interesting in order to get the readers to scroll down to the resource box, or inspire webmasters to reprint the article on their Web site. The best way to draw a wide variety of readers is to have a compelling title. Catchy titles and sometimes even controversial titles can draw more readers. Coupling a compelling title with a high quality article is an excellent way to attract readers specifically looking for articles to syndicate.

Article topics should also be interesting. If a website is focused on a specific subject, an article about an interesting element of that subject will be syndicated more than a general article. For example, there may be hundreds of available articles about mortgage refinancing, but how many articles focus on ways financial advisors will try to manipulate someone seeking to refinance?

4) Stay Organized

Time should be taken when finding article sites to submit to. There are many Web sites that have large lists of article sites that accept submissions. A good technique is to submit articles to all of the article sites in a list and check later to see if those articles have been syndicated. Searching for the title of the article submitted in quotations on Google will show where exactly it has been reprinted. Backlink searches on MSN and Yahoo! can also be helpful. Building a solid list of verified article sites can help maximize article syndication and also time efficiency.

Some article sites only accept submissions via e-mail. Some SEOs shy away from e-mailing articles because it is more time consuming and often involves the creation of a biography and picture submission. E-mail submission article sites however are often more inclined to only reprint articles of high quality, and thus these types of sites' articles are often widely syndicated.

5) Write a Killer Resource Box

The heart and soul of a syndicated article is its resource box. The anchor text and link destination of the links in the articles should be varied. Varying anchor text will help avoid penalties in search engine rankings and create higher-value links. Often changing the resource box after submitting to each site proves beneficial. An article about dogs with the anchor text "dogs" should be varied with anchor text like "puppies" for the other article submissions. Using technology such as latent semantic analysis, search engines will notice "dog" and "puppy" as related words, but will not penalize the site for having unnatural links (e.g., if all of the links used "dog" as anchor text). This same effect can be achieved by varying the link target. Linking the first half of the article submissions to page A, and the second half to page B will avoid penalties from search engines like Google. Articles are a proven way to get links, but if a new site suddenly acquires 100 links to the same place in a short time, search engines might penalize it.

Article submission is a great way to get high quality links from topically related sites. The more effort and care given to an article that is submitted, the more syndication potential an article has. Compelling titles, high-quality content, and interesting topics will all improve the syndication of an article. Varying backlink text and destinations can also help avoid heavy penalties from search engines. Some SEOs believe that only traditional directory submissions and link swapping are effective methods of building links. I, however, am a firm believer in the power of a well-written article to deliver a large number of topically related links to any fledgling site.

A Beginner's Guide to Exchanging Links

Reciprocal linking is an effective, free way to get more visitors to your website.

Exchanging links with other webmasters can help you in two ways.

Firstly, by getting your link displayed on other websites you are increasing the number of paths leading back to your your own site. This in turn will increase the number of visitors.

Secondly, exchanging links will increase the chances of getting your web page ranked more highly in the results returned by search engines.

The reason for this is that for most search engines, the number of links pointing to a site plays a huge part in determining where that site ranks. Why? Well, wouldn't you be more likely to visit a place that had been recommended to you by a friend? The same reasoning applies to search engine positioning.

A link from site A to site B is like a vote for site B. The more votes that site B gets, the higher it is regarded by search engines.

However, quantity is not everything! A link carries more weight if it is from a high quality site - in the same way that a recommendation from a trusted friend would be taken more seriously than a recommendation from a casual acquaintance.

If you have been reading up on the subject of search engine positioning, you may be familiar with the term "PR", or "Page Rank". Page Rank is Google's way of measuring the "importance" of a web page. In simple terms PR is a number between 1 and 10 and can be viewed by downloading the Google toolbar.

It is easy to become hung up on or obsessed by page rank, but my advice is to try to take your focus away from that PageRank icon on the Google toolbar and focus your efforts instead on building up a good set of reciprocal links. If you do this well, the PR and search engine rankings will come.

So, how do you start reciprocal linking?

The first step is to find other sites that you want to link to. Use search engines and links from other websites to find sites that complement your own and try to request links from sites that you think would interest your visitors.

You can find some linking directory resources to help you with your searching on my http://www.homebiz-direct.com/Link-Exchange-Resources.html">Link Exchange Directories and Tools Page.

You may have been recommended to avoid linking with your direct competitors. Whether you do this or not is entirely up to you - the main disadvantage of doing this is the chance of losing business, whereas the advantage is the extra traffic that you will gain by doing so.

Personally I feel that the additional traffic gained from linking to competitors outweighs the potential chance of losing business to them.

Before you start your linking campaign here are a few tips to help you:

(1)Ensure that there is a visible link to the "Links" directory on the index page of the site you are requesting the link from and that the links directory is organised. It's unlikely that your link will be found by visitors if it is one of the 100 links on an unorganised links page.

(2) Follow the above rules for your own website - it's only fair.

(3) Once you have found a page it is good manners to add a link to your own site before requesting a link from another. This way the webmaster of that site will know that you are serious and will be more likely to link back to your site.

(4) Being highly organised whilst requesting links is also important. Using link management software to keep track of all your link requests and automatically add them to your web page literally halves the time taken to request and manage links.

(5) Keep track of all the links you have requested, either through link management software or in a spreadsheet. Add the URL, date requested and contact information for all the links you have requested and update this everytime a link is approved or declined. This will help you to keep track of your reciprocal linking campaign and prevent you from looking stupid by requesting a link from the same site multiple times.

(6) Use tools to help you decide which sites to link to and to help monitor your own progress. Tools that I use include

- Alexa Toolbar - http://www.alexa.com/
- Google Toolbar - http://toolbar.google.com/
- Link Popularity tool - http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop

Finally, set yourself a goal to request a specific number of links per week or per month. Keep going until you meet this target. It may be boring, but once you get into the way of doing this, it will seem like second nature and you will start to reap the benefits in the form of increased traffic to your website!
