Twitter VS Google?

It seems that even though it took the guys at Twitter years to figure out how to monetize their traffic, they may still have a few tricks up their sleeves. They have been playing with an income strategy, mainly their promoted tweets platform, but now they are ready to take their marketing to the next level and offer completely self serving advertising to those businesses who are interested in an extra social push from the 140 character giant known as Twitter. This may be the first real competition in the digital advertising space that Google has come across since Facebook rolled out their own advertising platform. Only time will tell how popular and how effective this type of marketing will be for the Twitters pocket book and those utilizing the service.

If you grab some free Twitter money, please comment below to let others know that it is still working and don’t forget to tell your friends and colleagues where you heard about it!

Are you looking for an easy high PR back link?

Well, if you want to get more from your seo efforts, you know that you need high quality back links on sites that are relevant to your niche topic. The site I am talking about today is called Twine. I have been using this site for networking and for link development for a while. It seems to be a great place to meet some new people and do some link building too.

Solid links with good anchor text mixed with some simple automated link building services can be a way to boost your sites exposure overnight. Ping.fm which I discussed in a previous article found here “Social Marketing Made Easy“, I discussed how you can automate your updates to over 30 different social networks, but how about these static sites?  I am not going to get into the “how fast is too fast” link building argument.  I am just going to tell you what I have seen from my personal experiences with developing site traffic and favorable search engine listings.  You should be careful how fast you build links, but being consistent with your weekly pace is more important in the long run.

There are not to many sites that have this high of Google page rank that just give away good links and allow you to leave a full description and screenshot of your site.  Digg no longer produces as much “link juice” in Google, but sites like this one and Kontain are starting to take hold and are showing some surprising “sticky” power in the search engines. So now is the time to take advantage of these new linking methods, while they are still valid! Google’s algorithmic change that they call “caffeine” has left a lot of seo experts looking for the next way to get notices and this may be just what you have been looking for.

I have just recently started testing with some sites on Twine.com but I can already see that this site is going to be one that I will be putting in my marketing arsenal for sure.  So make sure to take a look at this site and start creating your own niche link groups here to see if you can get Google to shine it’s light on your site.  Link building must be done on different sites, but if you are looking to get indexed quick or  just build some new links, this is a good place to start

Twine is a valid PR 6 web site and you can use this site as a social bookmarking site. So it only makes since to make “Twines” or small niche groups to post within. That is exactly what I have done and you can capitalize on my efforts. You can create your own groups or “twines” here too.

So Here It Is

Free Back Links For The Taking, I recently created these new twines, all you have to do is join for free and put your site in the right category to get your PR6 Back Link.

I will be adding some new groups shortly.  If you have a topic that you would like me to add here, just let me know and I will do so.  If you have any questions or comments leave them here or you are welcome to contact me on twine as well.

Kontain – This site is cool for few reasons and is becoming one of my favorite places to spend my time when it comes to social networks.  However, this high PR site has got some crazy link juice on Google so it is another great place to get some back links to your site.  I would create an account here and start getting the most out of your links today!

Enjoy adding your links into these awesome groups and feel free to connect with me here too.

New SEO Link Building Sources is a post from: Webmaster Business Plan

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,

Let us show you a better way to do this without chasing your tail all day long. However first, we want to make sure we are all on the same page, so let’s get started.

What Is Social Bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is nothing more than putting a link to your favorite websites on a site that is built to share your favorites. Much like you can add a bookmark or favorite to your web browser, you can add a similar listing on these “social bookmarking” sites. This is a great way to share your favorite websites and web destinations with your friends and family and is also a very “White Hat” way for webmasters and internet marketers to get a little google juice and some direct traffic to their websites.

What Makes Social Bookmarking So Powerful?

There are a couple reasons that using social bookmarking as an method of online marketing works.  The first is the fact that your link will be put in front of hundreds of thousands of people on each site you submit it to.  Just the other day I got 800 unique visits from a single submission to stumbleupon.com  I don’t claim to get these results every time I submit a link, but I can guarantee that you will never get free results like this without using them.

Another big reason that internet marketers and webmasters cannot live without using these services is that the top search engines look to these social bookmarking sites as Authority Sites and they check them for what’s new and what’s popular.  In most cases this translates into a boost in your web site’s ranking on the search engines.

So yes, you NEED to be using these sites if you are serious about online business, internet marketing and getting mad crazy traffic to your sites.

How Do I Add My Site To Social Bookmarking Sites?

This really varies from site to site. Most all of the popular social bookmarking sites will require you to create an account to post your website bookmarks, but none of these sites charge for membership so don’t worry, this is free.  Once you have created an account and logged in, most sites have a similar setup to add a link, you choose a title, description and category for your web link.  In some cases you can also choose a set of keywords and an image to associate with your bookmark as well.

Most of the more popular social bookmarking sites will allow you to get a plugin for either Firefox for Internet Explorer to make it quicker and easier to add your bookmarks to their site.  These can be nice, but at the same time if you want to get your bookmark spread to many sites, it is not an effective way to do this by any means. If you add one or 2 of these bookmarking toolbars to your browser, that is more than most people want or would really use in the first place.  Don’t worry, there is a better way and we are getting ready to get to that.

Effective Tools For Social Bookmarking

There are a couple of tools out there that can make your social bookmarking efforts more effective and much easier to keep up with.  Some are free to use and some of the best ones are not, we will discuss both and let make an educated decision as to which one is right for you and your online business.  Most people can see the benefit right away from the free tools and personally I decided to start using the payed tools pretty quick because I saw so much value and control that was not offered by the free ones.

Free Social Bookmarking Tools:

1. Social Marker – This website offers a cool and free tool to allow you to send your bookmarks out to many sites all at once.  This site can make a days worth of worth of work achievable in a few minutes!
2. OnlyWire – This is another secret guru type tool most folks don’t tell you about until you have already bought a paid product from them.  Now this is by far the best free one, but it has a huge downfall.  The fact that they force you to put a link back to there site on the site you wan to bookmark really takes away from their appeal, to me at least.
3. Social Marking – another site that attempts to make social bookmarking easier, I am not convinced.  It has a very archaic setup and really does not seem to automate much, besides there sales funnel.  Maybe a good resource for some but after using there free system, I think there plan is to get you to buy there service, so probably not the best out there, but it is free?

Top Paid Social Bookmarking Tools

1. Bookmarking Demon – No, this is not a free tool, but it really is worth its weight in gold.  Am I an affiliate, Yes! And the only reason I am is because this tool is so powerful that I cannot stress how much value it brings to the plate of any internet marketer or webmaster.  If you are looking for a product that will automate, schedule and blast you social bookmarks to all the right places in just a few clicks you will blow you money on this one and come back and thank me for suggesting it. It Really Is This Good Folks!

I hope the information I have shared with you today proves to be a driving force in your online marketing efforts and gives you results like you have never seen before.  I understand that there is a learning curve to everything and I will add some follow up posts to explain the ins and outs of social bookmarking to make sure you get the most out of  your efforts.  As always if you any questions about what I have outlined above feel free to contact me at any time and I would love to help answer any questions you may have.

The power of your social marketing campaign will come down to 2 simple factors:

1. Quality Of Information
2. Expansion Of Syndication (across many networks)

If you are getting any results from working with one social network there are many more places you can get the same results, it just comes down to a matter of time.  If you are not taking the time to add value to your presence on social networks, you will not be getting the results you are looking for either.  That is what makes these the 2 golden rules of social marketing to me.

If you are sending out a bunch of junk and you are only sending it to 5 or 6 people, my guess is that you are not selling much and probably not driving a lot of traffic to your websites either. This is fine if you are only using social sites for fun and to keep in touch with your family and friends.  However, if you are trying to use the power of social sites to get your information out to the world, you may need some extra syndication power to give you more bang for your buck as far as time spent on your social marketing efforts.

I have a couple of suggestions to get your social marketing campaign rocking really fast.  I have listed the top resources below.

Professional Social Marketing Tools

There are a few paid tools out there to help you get your information out to all your social sites and to twitter effectively and the biggest one on the market today by far is, Socialoomh.com pronounced “Social Oomf” and it does a great job, allowing users to que up tweets and messages to be sent out in the future to many social networks.  This allows you to manage and maintain many accounts on many social networks with ease.  The fees here are well worth it.  This site has a great back end to make sure you can keep your messages personal and get your messages out when you want them to appear from a company you can trust.

Free Social Marketing Tools

There may be a few different free tools on the market, but I can tell you that you will not find one that is easier to use, more powerful and more flexible than Ping.FM This service is seriously a killer when it comes to distribution of your information across multiple social networks with one click.  I have used this service for some time and I have nothing but good things to say about their marketing power.  Oh and did I say, this is FREE!

I know the title was a little misleading to this one, but to be honest I am not going to waste your time or mine to list other free services that just don’t compare to the power of the Ping.FM service.  So if you want to take your social marketing power and syndication to the next level, get over there now and don’t forget to post a thank you down below.

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!
