7 Powerful Tactics for Backlinks and SEO

A Trick in building one way links to your site naturally for SEO purposes.

1. Do not add more than 50 high quality links in a day, by posting comments on sites that are similar to your niche, who have accomplished a ranking. Remember the anchor text you use obtaining links from places with high authority is very important.

Linking to High quality sites makes your backlink more valuable adding more Page Rank (PR) juice and authority to your site. You need to make sure that you are placing links on “Do-Follow” sites – search engines will give you link juice to your blog. “Don’t you just Luv comments!”

2. “Do Follow Forums” – This is a pleasurable way of getting FREE Backlinks, you add a meaningful comment, and meet with ‘like minded’ people. Most forums are “Do-Follow” and allow you to leave a link to your site in your signature at the bottom of each post you make. Just make sure you find niche related forums to your site, and that you are adding value within your comments. This is also an easy way to get many links back to your site, because the more quality posts made by you the more one way links. Say you add a new site to your signature and you have 1000 posts, then you gained and just added a 1000 links to that URL – call that Momentum or what…

3. Blog Commenting – Presenting a comment on ‘Do-Follow’ blogs is a very easy and FREE method people have been using for years. Just make sure you are commenting on relevant blogs and don’t spam (Psst: That Means Signing with a Real Name & Site). Add value with your remark and add your opinion to the subject. Don’t forget about using trackbacks. (A link from a web site to another web site which references its content.)

4. Directories – Apply this correctly and reap the rewards ending up on the front page of the Serps in no time. Directories are great because you get to leave a brief description of your site then it’s placed in an applicable category which gives you a very authoritative link back. Some are FREE – many cost money for a ‘do-follow link’, but usually worth it. I’ve also noticed many of them are now doing the whole swap link exchange as well if you don’t want to pay.

5. Social Bookmarking sites – Okay, I’m sure you’ve heard social bookmarking is a way to get TONS of free traffic, exposure and authority but it’s another great way to get one way links. You get to add a description of the site or post and a link to it.

Now there is always a debate over which bookmarking sites are ‘do-follow’ but I’ve found some good sites below that pretty much got it right and even if you don’t get any link-juice, then you’ll still get a good deal of traffic from them if bookmarked correctly and with worthy content like from Digg, StumbleUpon and AOL News.

6. Submitting your RSS Feeds – Many people find your blogs from reading your feeds (short description of your post) they find the info on various feed directories. Make sure you are careful to make sure you don’t submit the same feed too many times to the same site. Some automatic feed services like Ping-o-Matic and Pingoat send to the same sites or search engines. If you need more info on RSS Feeds go here – What is RSS?
I would definitely encourage joining an automated feed and post service, then add your feed URL to some of the feed directories. Some are ‘do-follow’ and some are not, try them out!

7. Reciprocal Links – Exchanging links with other pertinent sites has always been very big but not as powerful as it used to be ever since Google cracked down on the Linkjuice from this method a few years ago. It still works great and is a ‘must do’ in SEO tactics to out rank your competition in similar niches. The best way I’ve found to find similar websites to do this method is by joining forums, usually they’ll have a section for this or by doing some inquiry in the search engines.

Another solid pointer, make sure you also use HubPages and Squidoo because they really don’t fall under anything above they are more conceived as internet tools, web 2.0 website or community websites. You’ll find they both work very well for your SEO needs. The 7 Ways on how to get Effective Backlinks above are not in any particular order.

Oh before I forget… I wanted to mention don’t forget about “Link Baiting” (creating content just to receive backlinks) that is seriously a very powerful method as well, and Guest Posting (creating posts for other relevant blogs). If you got something to add then let me know, make some Luv Comments. Make sure you are using a few or all of the methods mentioned above and you will soon be getting more traffic and PR than imagined! That raps up 7 Powerful Ways to get the Most out of Backlinks and SEO for now.

Ad Lists Used In List Building

Speedy Subscribe OR Un-subscribe?

List Building Overview – Rate Your System: – 4th and last in Series… Ad Lists

NB: We are using a (*) Star system where 5 ***** is “good” if maintained and 1 * is “bad“, difficult, time consuming.

Un-Subscribe Rate * Selling ads over and over again to people for the highest price possible, with no other means of communication or content obviously subscribers will get uninterested quickly. High un-subscribe rate can be expected, that is if your mail even gets read, removed as spam or filtered.

Subscription Rate * No one will sign up for ads – they may sign up for a freebie, and purchasing leads is not the way to go. A thousand hit-or-miss subscribers does not compare to a hundred people who know your name, reputation and speak highly of you.

Ad Income ** Generally ad income can be OK, it depends on the size of your list. It may appeal to an entry level online marketer – reactions will tell the story, when customers don’t see any response to their ads, they won’t come back to give you their cash ever again, bad news to long term prospects.

JV Circle * List isn’t personal, does not have good subscribers, nor people who have bought from you, and are willing to buy. Affiliates or people in your target market won’t be a hot topic for joint ventures.

Response Rate Over Time * Would receiving different ad’s every day get you to make the effort to open and read? Didn’t think so, unless it is from a marketer where you are interested in their work. No matter how great the ad appeals to you, the more ads you send the more people unsubscribe – the less people care, blacklisted, filtered you end up with nothing-zero-zilch.

Research/Surveys/Testimonials * You would not be able to use this list here.

Maintenance Time ***** Receive ad from customer, cash lands in your account, paste in the ad, hit send and you are done, quick, not much to do in list maintenance. Don’t bother if you are looking at a serious online business. Not the way to go – morally or logically.

Definition of the list:

Ad List is generally a list that you build and send outside ads to the list, without any informative content at all. Easily the fastest method of list maintenance out of all we have listed above, biggest upset will be unsubscribe rate and the challenge is in getting people to subscribe. This is still widely used solely for income from ad sales.

List building is your business so take as much time as you need in making the right decision as to which method to use.

Personal, Affiliate and Ad Content List

Personal and Friendly

Personal - Affiliate and Ad Content List – 3rd in 4 Part Series

4 Choices to Discuss how to Build a List – This is a Quick look at the the 3rd in a 4 Part Series.

(1) eZines & Newsletters

(2) Personal List & Mixed Content

(3) Personal Lists, Affiliate and Ad Content

(4) Ad List.

NB: We are using a (*) Star system where 5 ***** is ‘good’ when kept up to-date and 1 * is ‘bad’, difficult, time-consuming.

Un-Subscribe Rate ** People on your list that don’t understand this form of marketing will unsubscribe. As soon as you have a good base of people with similar activities, you will reap the rewards. Be on you guard selecting this list type, if you do not have the right contacts or the ‘right name’ and do not have the experience or knowledge, it won’t work.

Subscription Rate ** It is easier to get people to subscribe when they realise they will get something of value. Standard implementation of future valuable freebies works. Problem lies in trying to obtain a good quality list – interested not only in your products, but also in your correspondence enabling you to move forward with future offers, keeping your customers happy.

Ad Income *** Generally ads to this type of list are in demand for two reasons.

It is your own list, no one else has access = real value addable.
Continue with the list that works in this way for any length of time. Should get Good Affiliates and Good Sales Stats. Do not use this too often or you will lose some of your really valuable group with the all important promotion power.

JV Circle **** This list type demands a lot of value in Joint Ventures. Subscribers are quality subscribers with lists of their own, willing to promote affiliate programs and buy products at the same time. This is a ‘win – win’ situation for a period of time a moneymaker and resource builder. Stay away from using this method too often or you could end up as an ad list and may lose the momentum of JV activity.

Response Rate Over Time **** List does not vary too much from a very personal list type. List will falter if you drift away from your message, or if your subscribers don’t understand the purpose of it.

Research/Surveys/Testimonials **** List is personal by nature and it will not be too hard to get important tracking information. Supporters will be happy to give it to you, merely because they know it will help them make more money at the end of the day. They are on your list solely for the opportunity to join your programs, and products to promote. Your followers will be happy to let you know what will turn them on, so ask!

Maintenance Time ***** Short on time, have a dislike for writing, or wish to put more effort into creating products, this list type will Save a few hours a day compared to e-zine lists. Remember You will need to search for products to promote. Finding products, join well know marketers as an affiliate – now you see how this is all linked together? The bigger your name gets the more momentum you create the sooner you will start to earn.

Definition of the list:

List is much the same as previously discussed. However this time, you’re not sending tips, hints or content, but ads for programs that you promote yourself together with your own products.
This differs from an ad list, because all products promoted are handled as your product. There are no outside sources sending ads to your list.

Although no content is supplied, this can be especially useful if you’re well-known, and have a strong following. We are down to the last of this List Building Series in the next article.
