Professional link builders can locate web properties and acquire links that really count. Choosing powerful link building services to help you build a quality link portfolio is one way to almost guarantee success when orchestrated with a solid marketing strategy. It is always good practice to do your homework on any seo firm, in most cases it is good to go with the big guys because they have a proven track record like the professionals at Sorezki.

Even when you see results from active hand spun seo, they can sometimes exceed your expected budget. This is why some people prefer using a link building software to reach their online marketing goals.

You Say I Can Link Directly To Affiliate Sites On EzineArticles.com So How Do I Do It?

The resolution to this issue is using a little known server trick called domain forwarding. You may have heard of this and just never known what it was or what it did. There are many different things you can do with a domain name. You can point it to name servers for hosting it yourself, you can park it and try to collect some revenue from ads or in this case you can forward your name to the affiliate link you are trying to promote. This action can be done by going into your registrar and setting up a domain forward. Most registrars will also allow you to mask the domain too.

This allows you to forward something like www.buycoolstuff.com to www.coolstuffsite.com/members/?aff_id=953 and when a visitor goes to your link they see the content delivered from the long address, but they will only see your short address in the address bar of their browser.

Why Does Linking To Affiliate Pages Directly Help?

This is a great way for affiliate marketers to send the readers of their content directly to the page that is going to pay them. However, depending on your own marketing plan it may be more important to build up your own web site’s popularity in the search engines. This is totally up to you, but either way now you know to add your affiliate link to ezinearticles.com without getting your article thrown in the trash. Hopefully this concept helps you grow your business and put some extra profit in your pocket!

We all know that social bookmarking is a powerful marketing tool. The fact is that many of the most popular social bookmarking sites carry a lot of weight in the google search algorithm because they are driven by real people. Most search engines value the popularity of links and the amount of bookmarks in their search results as part of the equation that their scripts cannot find without the help of human interaction. This makes linking to your business web sites a very important part of any marketing campaign. If you are not using social bookmarking as part of your seo and traffic generation process, you are most likely missing out on quite a bit of free traffic.

The new SocialAdr web site offers a whole new way to webmasters to take advantage of social bookmarking and implement it into any marketing campaign. Before you go to this site and start utilizing the powerful free bookmarking tools there, lets talk a little more about what social bookmarking options are out there for webmasters and internet marketers.

Social Bookmarking Tools

There are a quite a few different tools that have been devised to assist internet marketers in their quest to reach a massive amount of people with these social sites. Social bookmarking power is just a simple way of explaining the advantage of these sites and if you utilize the opportunity given to you by taking full advantage of these services, the results really are very powerful. Most of the tools that are on the market to help you get more social bookmarks faster, offer some value but also have some common failings that will not help you in your search engine optimization efforts.

Why They Don’t Work

The main problem with these applications is that they require you to submit from your own computer. This means that all of your submissions will show up from the same IP address. This is a tell tale sign of a spammer and does not really benefit you the way that most believe it does. Some bookmarking applications also do not allow you to spin your content so all of your bookmarks look identical no matter how many times and how many sites they are submitted, another black flag to most search engines.

Real Social Bookmarking Power

Instead of spending a lot of cash on an application that may be outdated soon, you could take advantage of this new totally free online resource that allows you to get more dynamically submitted results from different IP addresses.  By using the power of a huge membership base you can get any site you are trying to focus traffic to bookmarked by different people from all over without spending a dime. This new way of automatically sharing bookmarks can be a great way to get some extra traffic to any site you want and also drive some healthy search engine results.

Here is the resource site I am talking about : SocialAdr

When you start using this powerful social bookmarking web app, you will be able to submit spun content so each time your link is bookmarked you will have a unique title and unique description. This site offers a very cool bookmarking service that is both unique and very beneficial. So give it a look and see for yourself, Social Bookmarking Power can be easier to obtain than you think!

The concept is rather simple and that is the beauty of the service to me. It goes like this, a visitor searches or stumbles on to your site, many visitors will leave within seconds, this is referred to as “bounced” traffic in the seo industry.  These visitors came to your site, but may have seen an advertisement they clicked on or followed any other link on your site an left for what ever reason. The retargeting companies take this traffic and display your ads to bring them right back in.  It makes since, if you are looking for a product and checking out similar sites and you keep seeing images reminding your of a certain company, the chances are that you too would give them a second look.

If you interested in taking advantage of this new marketing service and finding out how retargeting can bring you more sales, longer lasting visits and really give you site more repeat visits that you have ever seen before take a look at the Recrue Media site.  They have some really nice media displays to further explain how their service works and you never know, this could be the answer to your high bounce rate, so see if you can stop your traffic leak using this intuitive service.

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.

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,

Nick Simpson

If you are not making videos to promote your website, you are missing out on one of the most lucrative avenues of the market right now. People love video! It’s that simple.
If you are not comfortable with being in front of a camera, who cares, I didn’t like it when I first started either. This may be an area that you need to “grow” so that your business can “grow” too. One simple rule of business is “If you want more, DO MORE!”  So don’t think that you are going to grow a huge business by doing what are already doing, if that were the case you would already have a huge business.

If you want to start off with some simple how to videos, you can use “CamStudio” to create free videos of your screen as you show people how to do something online.

No matter what software you use you need to be making videos, there are some great reasons as far as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) goes as well.

If you really want to get your video production of the ground and start building a huge list at the same time, I suggest you take a minute to check out the Free Easy Video Producer Site! I have used it personally and I think that it is one of the most powerful and free marketing tools out there today.

If you need some tips on how to market using videos, I have a whole video series on “Video Marketing Made Easy.” There are 4 videos here and this will really help you get started if you are new to video marketing.
