The next wave of untapped cash market is mobile advertising. The short code marketing world is just getting warmed up and is going to be the next explosion for all types of marketers.

Thanks for coming back to the Webmaster Business Plan.
We are always glad to see people coming back for more great Webmaster Videos, Webmaster Pod Casts and our highly anticipated "Webmaster Business Plan - e-Course". Here is a free eBook to show our appreciation : 5 Ways To Get Free Instant Web Site Traffic!

Well everybody wants to get their web site or blog listed in as many free directories as possible.  This is great, but what most webmasters are not thinking about is quality.  The only value a web directory can offer is quality listings and some page rank on the directory that you are to be listed on.  If you use free directories you may be able to get your link on a page that has some PR, but this is not everything.  You need to be aware that free directories do not have the motivation to keep the structure of their site up to date and remove dead links from their listings.

If Google finds you link on a page that has good page rank, but your link is surrounded by dead links, this will not look very appetizing to Google.  You need to understand that the quality of the directory is “as” important if not more important than the PR of it’s pages.   This is why in many cases the most valuable directory listings to get involved with are not free.  The money spent is many times turned over to those who keep the directory up to date and continue site maintenance to assure that each and every link on the directory site is active and accurate.  Just like anything else, you really do get what you pay for when it comes to buying a spot on a top website directory.

If you are ready to get serious and take your website to the next level by spending some money to get a high quality back link to you, here is our own top 5 paid directory listing list.

Top Ten Paid Directories (Domain – Page Rank – Price)

1. Yahoo.com PR 8 – $299
2. Business.com PR 7 $199
3. Best of the Web PR 7 $69-$300
4. JoeAnt.com PR6 $39.99
5. MassiveLinks.com PR4 $39.99 – $79.99

There are other directories out there, but these are the ones that stick out and seem to have the cleanest and most up to date listings on the web.  We don’t think you will find better value anywhere else, but if you do run across a paid directory that you think deserves to be listed here, simply leave a comment or contact me and I will be sure to consider it as an addition to the list of the top 5 paid directories here on Webmaster Business Plan.

Good luck with your site listing and we hope the list of useful resources above can help bring your website traffic to the next level.  Even successful websites can use a boost and these site have proved to be among the top directories out there.

Do you wish there was a way to get guaranteed traffic to your blog?  Are you picking out winning keywords and still not able to get traffic to your site?  Do you check all the right places to find competition on your keyword phrases, but still cannot get ranked for them?

Well trust me, you are not alone.  This is one of the most frustrating problems for webmasters and Internet marketers alike.  If you are putting in the work and simply not getting the results, trust me I know exactly how you feel and I have definitely been through this.  However, I do have some helpful hints to get your past this “bump in the road” and back on track with your internet marketing efforts.

I was recently asked a question on a forum that I frequent “I have done my keyword research and have submitted my info to squidoo and ezinearticles, but I am not getting ranked, I feel like I am missing something?”

Well, the conversation on the forum was about different methods of keyword research that different people use.  There are many different methods that people use and some are obviously more effective than others. The problem it turned out was not finding the right keyword to use, but how to market the site and get link exposure with the keyword term that this member was trying to focus on.

If you do not understand what keyword research is, join our mailing list here and you will get a link to some videos that will help out with this.  For those of you who are already doing some keyword research and then trying to focus your link building efforts to get ranked for those keywords, I will give you the same reply I posted in the forum.  If you do not know what keyword research is and do not fully understand link building and anchor text yet, please do not proceed with the steps below!
The methodology I will explain is very quick and dirty seo, but when it comes down to it I have used these exact steps to successfully launch many a profitable site and I know these will work for you too.  All you have to do is apply the steps and keep mixing up your keyword phrase in relevant long tail keyword phrases and You Will Get Results!

Write one new article, get your keyword or a variation of it in the title, body, keyword tags and make a link with the same or variant of your keywords in the post, to the post. Do Not make the keyword spammed throughout, make it natural and make this one of the best posts you ever wrote, this is the gold nugget that you are going to trade for traffic!

Publish this, take your rss feed over to http://feedburner.com, burn it, then get over to http://pingoat.com

Now that you are at http://pingoat.com submit both your website feed and the feedburner feed, with a slight variation in the title, but still Keep Your Keywords In There Too.

Next it is time to do some social bookmarking, get over to:

http://digg.com
http://stumbleupon.com
http://reddit.com
http://mixx.com

and bookmark you new post, do this at different times of the day, not all at once.

Now, write you up a small 300-500 word article and post it on all article directories( http://ezinearticles.com http://goarticles.com http://articledashboard.com ), authority sites( http://squidoo.com http://hubpages.com http://facebook.com http://knol.google.com )and as many blogs that you can(heres the blog submitter I use, it’s free)then time to get your article on some authority blogs, say hello to http://blogger.com http://blog.com http://fortuneboard.com and http://posterous.com

Everywhere you submit you article you need to make sure that you can get at least one link with a variation of your keyword in the article or do not waste your time there.

You may also want to spend some time on popular social sites telling people about the new post, Google loves to see some traffic to a page that it is going to rank. I suggest you use http://ping.fm to multiply your efforts here.

I know this sounds like you are going to be carpet bombing the web with info and Yes that is the idea. If you want to be noticed by Google, give them something to look at!

This can be done all in one day, but I suggest you spread it out over a few days or even a weeks time, because after all you don’t want to scare Google with to many new links all at once.  Now once you have completed these simple steps, just wash, rinse and repeat; you will be guaranteed results.

That is if you have chosen a worthy keyword!

Well I can tell you if you do the things I spoke of above, you will get traffic! There is no question about it, you will be able to see some immediate traffic from direct click through visitors. However, more importantly, if you use good anchor text and keep mixing up the long tail terms, you will be able to sustain some rather healthy traffic from the search engines as well.

You can look at any of the big name products, video series or guru reports; they all will focus in on one of the sections of info above and build a whole product around it, but you know what, you don’t need to spend $300 dollars to take some logical steps toward your success online. When it comes down to it, there are only 2 things that online marketing comes down to, Distribution and Target Market. Everything else is simply smoke and mirrors.

Now, I will say that much like exercising, some people really do need to make a huge investment in a product to remind them that they need to exercise, however I hope you can find you motivation elsewhere

I hope that this quick little synapses helps some internet marketer or webmaster take there website traffic and online business to the next level.  As always feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this or any article of mine and I would be glad to assist in any way that I can.

To Success,
