How Does WordPress Use RSS Feeds?

If you are using WordPress you are already automatically pinging a site called ping-o-matic which pings many popular services. However, with an up to date ping list you will be able to get even more automatic exposure every time you make a new post. WordPress is smart and will automatically ping when you post, you just need to give it the best rss ping list possible to get the most action out of your effort.

Adding Your WordPress Ping List

If you want to add the ping lists below to your own WordPress blog, it is easy. Simply highlight the ping list that you want from below then login to the admin section of any self hosted WordPress blog.

Next, you will need to click on the link at the bottom left under the “Settings” title where it says “Writing” like in the picture below.

100% Free Domain Name is a post from: Webmaster Business Plan

Rule 1 – Focus On The Content Network

Your focus should always be on the content network where your ads will be displaying.  You can of course adjust your campaigns to display ads in certain websites that have similar interest to your offers. Once you define a group of sites that have common interest and that would also tend to be interested in the product or service that you are promoting, simply add them to your Google campaign.  If you are letting Google show your ads anywhere, the chances of you getting worthless or invalid clicks are much higher.

Rule 2 – Use Image Ads That Get Attention

The use of image ads is must if you want to get the cheapest clicks from Google ad-sense. You need to make sure that your ads are appealing and more than anything that they draw attention!

Don’t be afraid to use crazy colors, loud graphics or anything to get people to look, after all if your ad is not noticed, it does not make a difference what it says.  So go big and get the attention you need to your advertisement.

Rule 3 – Create Your Images For All Google Ad Sizes

It only makes since that you want an image for every possible size, this will allow your campaign the maximum exposure on the most sites possible.  You do not want to only advertise on sites that offer a standard banner size, this will dramatically cut down on your exposure and on your sales!

You will find that having an ad available in every single possible image size will get you more exposure and give your campaign a better return.  This can be easily accomplished now within the Adsense system, you can create ads on the fly using their free tool made just for this purpose.

Rule 4- Test Both Text and Image Ads

Use the same text for your image ads and your text ads.  This simple test may cost a few bucks, but really fast you will be able to see which one produces more clicks and more importantly which one produces more sales!  In most cases the text ads will get more clicks, but I always wonder if this is just from spam clickers, because it seems that the image ads get more sales.  You will have to test this for yourself, every ad campaign will produce different results and there is no way to tell which one will get your service or product more exposure for the cheapest price until you test it for yourself.

Rule 5 – Add All 9 Images To Every Ad Group In Your Campaign

For a successful Google Adsense system, you need to start a few different campaigns and Test, Test, Test.  So setup a few different campaigns, use different keyword sets and different ads in each one.  Now put all your graphics in each and let them run for a few days or a week. You should be able to spot the winners and remove the loosers pretty quick.  The biggest thing about creating successful campaigns in adsense is taking the time to test and re-test.  I know it sounds tedious and guess what, It Is!   But it also pays pretty well if you take the time to find out where your results are going to be.

-Good Luck Creating Your Own Winning Adsense Campaign!

Authority sites simply pass on more link juice than sites that have less of a presence on the internet.  You may be able to grab links on sites like facebook and twitter pretty easily and yes these are considered to be authority sites.  However, how can you get links on education site or government sites?  Well, most of us really don’t know.  Getting quality back links on sites like these can really make a big impact on your search engine standings, because these sites outbound links are seen as “official” and are respected by the search engines algorithm.  So you need to be getting these links if you want to take your search engine optimization skill set to the next level.

The information I am sharing below comes from a post on a forum, so before we get to the meat of this post, let me give credit where credit is due.

How To Get Links On Authority Sites Source :  http://forums.seochat.com/link-popularity-43/how-to-find-authority-sites-and-get-links-from-them-297793.html

There are other ways to get these authority site links pointing to your webpage, you may want to take a look at the Webmaster Business Plan section on link building for more info on this topic or even visit good old View SEO.  So enough fluff, lets get to these killer internet marketing techniques!

How To Get Links On Authority Sites

This is my small gift to the SEO Chat community from whom i learn a lot. I wrote this article in December of 2009 and hope that it hasn’t become outdated since search industry is changing every second. I like teaching (although it should not be confused with preaching) and sharing knowledge. I used to teach C, C++ (programming language) to 1st year engineering students (as a tutor and not in the college) some 6 years back when i myself was a student and since then have got this bug  Consequently i understand different type of loops (for, while and do while loop), functions, parameters, conditional statements and above all program logic. I am sharing this info with you to let you know that it helps me a lot in understanding the code and in dealing with web developers. And i think it will equally help you if you could spend sometime in learning a programing language and its syntax esp. some server side language like PHP. Anyways back to the subject of authority sites.

As a seo we heard of authority sites a lot. Get back links from authority sites to boost rankings. But what are authority sites. How to identify them? Is there a way to find out what is authority and what is not? The answer is yes. There is a way to find out (although not a guaranteed way). Authority sites are those websites which have got back links from large number of different domains and majority of these domains are based on same/similar topic as the linked to domain. For e.g. a website on ‘Car Insurance’ can be considered as an authority on ‘Car insurance’ if it has got backlinks from large number of different domains and majority of these domains are based on car insurance or other insurance topics. Now the question that comes up is, how to identify authority sites. Do they scream i am authority, got a label of authority or is there some other identification mark.

Following are some ways to perceive the authority of a website

1. Authority sites have generally very high ranking on Google for your industry or primary keywords.

2. Websites which authority sites frequently link out to, can also be considered authoritative.

3. Websites which are talked about a lot in your industry are generally authoritative. You can find such sites through industry blogs, industry magazines and industry news publishing sites.

4. Websites with heavy user engagement (like lot of comments, reviews, ratings, page views, heavy users’ activity or large membership base) in your industry can also be considered to be authoritative.

5. Authority sites generally have very high Page Rank (PR >=6).

6. Authority sites generally have very strong back link profile which you can determine through tools like linkdiagnosis.com

7. Authority sites generally have high domain moz rank (>=6) which you can determine through tools like linkscape.

8. Authority sites have back links from large number of root domains which can again be determined through tools like linkscape

Following sites are generally perceived to be authoritative: Elementay & Seconday Schools Sites , Community Colleges sites, Technical & Vocational Schools, educational institutions which provide higher education, government department sites, research councils sites, public library sites, chamber of commerce sites, non-profit organizations sites etc.

3 Golden Rules to get back links from authority sites

1. Establish yourself as an authority- Do it before you ask for a link. Do you really deserve a link from an authority site? If deep down inside you know, the answer is ‘NO’, then most probably you won’t be getting it either. Speak at major industry conferences and write in major industry journals to establish your authority and become known/popular among your potential linking partners.

2. Socialize & Build Personal Relationship- Do it with key persons of the target authority sites for long term link building benefits. Organize/participate in Industry conferences, seminars, exhibitions, workshops and meetups to socialize offline. Remember SEO is just another form of marketing. The more you will market yourself, the better. Social media sites (like blogs, forums, community groups, social networking sites ) are excellent way of socializing online. While socializing online, don’t ignore the viral connectors (like top diggers, top stumblers or people with large fan/subscriptions/members base). These guys can instantly make your contents viral.

3. Determine content needs- Determine content needs of your potential linking sites, develop killer contents and tools to satisfy those needs and then make your potential linking partners aware of them.

Biggest SEO mistake in link acquisition from authority sites

It is to ask for a back link without following the aforesaid link acquisition rules. If you don’t trust me, then just go ahead and try to get a back link from authority site. Your link request will either get deleted or ignored.

The feature I am talking about is of course the ability to update your ping.fm account and then in turn all of your social sites from your Skype or Gtalk clients.  All you have to do to set this up is login to ping.fm and look at the bottom right.  you will see links to these services.  They give you an email address/account name to add as a contact.  Then you will send one message to make your account verified to use the ping. fm api using your credentials and you are done.

Now any time you send a message to this new contact in your IM app of choice, all of the social networks that you have setup with ping.fm will be instantly updated for you!  This is a great way to get the word out about a new blog post, specials you are running or anything for that matter.

You can see what I am talking about in the image below, just click the thumbnail to open the full size image.

If you are not, you should be, the link wheel concept seems to be one of the most solid techniques out there to start getting some relevant and very targeted traffic to any website.  There are no expenses involved in building your own powerful link wheel, this is another reason seo experts love this method.  It seems that this is one of the most talked about techniques in the seo world recently.

Yes, link wheels are a great way to get some free traffic an they can be implemented in a few hours time.  You need to understand what a link wheel is first, then you can start using the power of a link wheel on your site or to drive traffic to an affiliate product.  The concept is simple but setting up an effective link wheel may take a little more effort.

Are Link Wheels The Best Free Traffic and SEO Method?

Here on Webmaster Business Plan we discuss many different methods to generate traffic to your website and most of the time we try to keep all the information on the free side.   The link wheel concept is no different, you can put together an seo friendly, traffic getting link wheel in no time at all and it will cost you nothing but a little effort.  We don’t like to use terms like “best” anything, but this sure is one powerful force to be reckoned with as far as search engine optimization and traffic generation.  So, for now this is at least our favorite methods to get some serious traffic, maybe not the best but damn close!

So What Is The Basic Concept Of A Link Wheel?

The basic concept of a link wheel is nothing more than creating multiple Web 2.0 properties on the Internet that inner link to each other and also link out to your main website or “money site” and in effect make a wheel of sites that link together.  There are complete products that are nothing more than explaining this process with a couple pictures.  We believe you can find better things to spend you money on, so we are going to explain it all here and give you a chance to compete with the big boys in any niche by grabbing some serious traffic with the power of your own link wheel.

If you can imaging you main site in the middle of a circle or wheel and sites like blogger, squidoo, hubpages and wetpaint surrounding your site this is how it starts.  Now each of the sites surrounding yours will link in to your site and then link to the next free blog or web 2.0 site.  So blogger would link to your main page and would also link out to your squidoo lens.  Squidoo would link to your site and then link out to your hub on hubpages and so on.

Why Are Link Wheels Effective?

Well, there are a couple reasons for this.  The main reason that these become very effective as far as google and other search engines are concerned is that the sites that you are going to setup for external linking are considered authority sites.  You know, sites with high page rank and ones that are used as part of the search engines “social indexing”.  Yes, these authority sites pack a real punch when it comes to search engine optimization and when you link multiple authority sites to each other and they are all linking out to your site, guess what, the search engines let little old you, share a little of that authority!

Keywords And Link Wheels

Understand that just because you have setup a few blogs really fast, you are not out of the woods yet.  The keywords you focus on are just as important here as they are anywhere else.  If you focus on some low competition keywords you will be sure to get ranked fast, but you can shoot a little higher on the competitive keyword target, because after all you do want some keyword phrases that will bring you some good traffic.

Once you have decided on your keyword phrase, you will wan to get your keywords in your blog addresses, lens urls and so on.  Also you will want to make sure that you are using variations of your keyword phrase in all of your link’s anchor text.  You may want to use a few long tail keyword phrases and then focus in on your main keyword set.  This is a good way to keep the links mixed up and still give the focus to the correct term as you are developing your link wheel.

How Many Web 2.0 Sites Do I Need In My Link Wheel?

Ultimately this really is up to you.  You can build a very small, simple link wheel with three to four external blogs, but you may want to continue to grow your link wheel through time.  The more external web 2.0 sites you include in your link wheel will help re-inforce the link strength to your main site, but also can drive some healthy direct traffic to your sites as well. The power of the link wheel is 2 fold, keeping people in a loop of your own information until they end up on your main site and hopefully buy.  Secondly, you are building an authority presence on the search engines, so you will benefit in raised google rankings for your keyword phrase.  So, there is no reason to limit yourself to four sites in your link wheel, when you could have as many as you like.

A More Effective Link Wheel

If you really want to get the most out of your link wheel, you may have to make some more mini link wheels on the outside.  This means nothing more that adding social bookmarking to each of your Web 2.0 sites or blogs you are using as your main feeder sites on the link wheel. Since you can only add one link to a social bookmarking post, you really cannot expand the theory of the link wheel using these sites.  However, you can reinforce the strength of each of your new inbound link properties by giving each of them some exposure on these hugely popular and high page ranked sites like digg, stumbleupon, mixx, reddit and others.

So What Does A Link Wheel Look Like?

Well everybody has a different take on what an effective link wheel should look like.  I have found many different ideas on the net, most of these are free on flicker, but I have saved these so long ago, I do not have the accurate credits to give here, so I do apologize for that.

Here are some of the best visual examples of link wheels out there.  You can take any of them and put them to use in your online business instantly or you can study them all and choose one you want to follow.

RSS 3.0

About a week ago, we added a script which allows webmasters to perform a blog ping to many popular RSS aggregation services, including Google!

Well, just like any new web service there were a few bugs to work out and a few services were running so slow that it was slowing the blog ping script down. We have since removed the rss services that were causing errors and timing out. So the blog ping service from RSS 3.0 seems to be fully functional and now is ready to serve you!

If you are looking for a new way to boost the traffic coming to a blog or a website, get your rss feed ready and head on over to RSS 3.0 to ping all the top RSS sites for absolutely free!

If you are not familiar with Google’s newest service called Google Voice you are missing out. This is really one cool service and as always, google offers this for absolutely free. You can of course spend a few pennies if you want to use the international service, but this is expected.

So what is Google Voice?

Google voice is a new service that allows it users to many interesting and new things using your existing phone. You can choose from local numbers to get your own unique and free phone number. Once you have chosen this number, this is your phone number for life! Keep reading and you will understand.

Once you have been assigned a Google voice number, you can use it like an old PBX phone system to “route” calls to any existing phone, land line or cellular phone. So what do you do with this, you may ask. Well, you can do all sorts of awesome stuff. You can send your family calls to all your phones, home, cell and work. You can send you new friend only to one phone so you are not bothered at work. You can send your ex-girlfriend directly to voice mail. You can send you bill collectors to Hell! OK the last one was a little over the top, you can just deny their calls.

This is just the begining, there are so many other features it is beyond ridiculous, it’s Redunkulous!

Here Is A List Of More Google Voice Features

1. Hide Caller Id
2. Many Answering Options
3. If you real number changes, you don’t have to notify anybody, ever!
4. Record any phone call that originated from the Google voice number
5. Import contact from Google to keep all your contact in one location
6. Completely Free SMS Messaging
7. Voice To Text Messages, this is really cool!

So you can see that Google voice has got it going on, if you are not already on the waiting list to get involved, just go towww.Google.com/Voice and get on the list. I have had my Google voice for about a month and I only had to wait a few days to get my invite from Google to new beta, but the wait may be longer now, I am not really sure.

There is so many features offered with Google Voice, I am sure I am missing something, but I will add anything I have forgotten here later.

To Success,

How Many Back Links Does Your Website Have?

If you are like most people you probably have 5-20 back links built up by posting to forums or maybe a blog here and there.  However to really get ranked in google for a search term that you want to be ranked for, one that really pulls in the traffic, most sites are boasting over a thousand back links. It is a commonly accepted fact that the amount of back links to your website, including the correct anchor text is one of the most definitive techniques to achieve the first page of google, for that term.

So How Do I Build Up More Back Links?

Building back links is not a quick process and actually google likes to see a constant stream of new ones pointing to your site, this assures the search engine that not only is the link text accurate, but more and more people agree that this site is worth seeing.  So for many webmasters it seems like a constant uphill battle to keep bringing in new back links.   Some actually resort to black hat methods like paying for back links or even using sneaky software to spam forums or blog comment sections.  We here at Webmaster Business Plan do not suggest you use either method above.

The correct way to build back links is to either contact many webmasters and ask to trade links, get active on forums and add your link to your signature or even join many social networks that allow you to post your web address.

The problem with all these methods is that they are very time consuming and in some cases produce very little results.

What Is A Better Way To Build Back Links?

I know that there are many more methods than discussed above to build back links to your website.  But, simply put all of these methods are just as slow and very repetitive to complete if this is being done by one person and not a team of seo experts.   What I propose is that you use a “system” to do the work for you, instead of you manually working day in and day out just to “keep up” with the competition.

Here is the system that I have used myself to drive more than one site to the #1 spot on google and it is absolutely free to use!  I don’t know what to say besides, it is free, it works and it is worth its weight in gold!
