More Good Backlinks? Fast?… How?

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

Here’s an interesting solution to the problem of how to build lots of good backlinks fast.

There are several alternatives, contenders on the Net, for the backlink-building need. Almost all of them have serious flaws, most of which only became apparent after they were in full operation for a good while. The prominent flaws/structural design errors are:

1. They are entirely blog-based, get you backlinks from new blogs without PR or authority. So you get the links but the SE’s discount them deeply because of the low ranking status of the source blogs. And there is no built-in way to promote and raise the status of those host blogs.
2. They only indirectly help your “money” websites, by giving them links to increase rankings.
3. They automate, speed up the acceptance of postings without close human screening, and so fill up with low-grade almost incoherent posts, which lowers traffic towards zero and further devalues the post host.
4. They use blogs, not articles, so the “shelf life” of each post is lowered to 90 days or so (for blogs) rather than a year or two (for articles).

The guy behind EZArticleLink, Kenneth Koh, seems to have learned from all this and worked out ways to avoid all those mistakes. He has now come up with an impressive new system that:

1. Builds-in the promotion for the sites on which their articles are going to be posted, from the outset. You get three KW’s as in-text anchor links per article but you only get 80% of the backlinks. The other 20% are used for links back to KW’s in the article title, to promote the host site.
2. Deals primarily with websites, not just blogs
3. Uses human review of articles before publication to avoid low-quality, badly spun or trash articles ever getting into their system
4. Works on developing full-scale Article Directories on your websites. That should boost page count, be helpful to the host website. This also encourages members to put quality sites into the system to gain from this benefit. Result: Higher PR sites, more site authority the sites that host the article directories!

Yes, they spin their posts. Yes, they have a free membership (Silver) as well as a paid membership (Gold).

They got my attention. I signed up for a free membership a little over a month ago. Experience has been very good. Still in beta, but I like to start with projects in beta, help to shape them, learn the details of how they work.

I don’t know if you can still get a free membership or not right now, but the product is scheduled to launch and become available to all on February 22, 2010. The first 100 to sign up get in at only $24 a month, a steal at that price. The price will go up with every 100 new members until it levels off at $47/month.

If you are interested in helping with the launch, you can find details here.

I will post a link to the launch site here on the 21st or so…

Here’s an Impressive Promo Scheme – And It’s Free!

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

I did not get much done on my My Articles Network (MAN) project this last week, because I found another and was getting started there.

The project is E Z Articles Link, it’s impressive and it’s free. I found out about it through an Internet buddy who is working with them, so it is still an “insiders” opportunity at this point…

MAN is a fully-developed, mature setup with a network of more than 10,000 blogs to post your articles to. So it is good, but not cheap.

EZArtLink is a startup, now in pre-launch, expected to launch on February 22. They will have a paid membership and a free membership once they start. Right now, before Feb. 18, everyone gets in for free!.

The ideal way to promote your websites, blogs, etc., is to start off with a low-cost/no-cost promo project that grows. As a beta tester at first, you get in for free, and if you ever upgrade, you get special low, lifetime rates.

With both MAN and EZArtLink you get your articles published repeatedly on numerous websites. This means LOTS of backlinks. Article directories get more readers, but unless someone picks up a copy of your article and republishes it on their site, you only get the back links from the Article directory.

EZArtLink offers to set-up an article directory as part of your website, and stock it automatically for you! Fresh unique content and high page counts! But they can tell their story better than I can…

Go check out E Z Article Link. Looks like I am probably going to be testing them too… I have 3 sites registered there and 2 articles written so far.

Since I am already inside, I invite you to hit me with any questions you might have. Just leave a comment here…

To your Internet Success,

SEO Explained (Overview)

Search Engine Optimization No Comments »

When people want something today, they go to the Internet and “Google it” . They type some words that (to them) indicate what they are looking for, into the nearest search engine “search window”.  (There are many search engines: Yahoo, Google, MSN (now “Bing”), etc. They all work in essentially the same way.)

What next emerges on the screen is the search engine’s idea of what you are looking for.  This is called the Search Engine Results Pages or “SERP’s”.

If you are an Internet Marketer, selling let’s say, “dog collars”, you want your website to appear in the SERP’s whenever anyone types “dog collar” or “dog collars” into search engine search window.

Since an estimated 70% of the people who want to buy something on the Net use the search engines, it is essential to most marketers that their listings appear on the SERP’s whenever anyone searches for their products or services.

The best place to have your listing appear is on page 1 of the SERP’s.  Preferably “above the fold”. There are typically 10 natural listings (plus some paid ads) on the first page.  The top 5, the first 5, appear on the initial panel. You will  see these 5 first, without having to scroll down. That position is called, “above the fold”.

Now, as you might imagine, there are lots of sellers.  And ALL want to be on that first page.  But the search engines try to put the most important, most relevant sites first.  So they “rank them”. The top 10 get on the first page, in order, with number 1 at the top down to number 10 at the bottom of the page.  The next ten get on the second page and so forth.

So how do you convince the search engines that YOUR website is important enough and relevant enough to be on the first page?

Aha!! That’s the question. And, in a nutshell, that is what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about!

SEO is the art and science of getting recognized, of being important and letting the search engines know it. Of getting high search engine rankings. Of getting YOUR website listed on the first page of the SERP’s.

How do you do that? Well, there are two elements:

1. The internal, in-house things you do at your website to be recognized

2. The external, links back from other entities on the Net (websites, blogs, squido lenses, social networking sites, etc.) that show the search engines how important you are.

Details? Well… That we’ll cover that in other postings here…
