A Battle Plan For Getting Getting Backlinks
Oct 2nd
The best kind of traffic is free traffic, I think we can all agree on that.
There’s just this one little problem: Free traffic isn’t free.
At least, in most cases it isn’t.
If you’ve ever tried to rank for anything but the crummiest of low-traffic keywords in Google, you might have had a frustrating experience. Just optimizing your website certainly won’t get you there (and unless you’re in the top spots, you won’t see hardly any traffic).
So, you need to build backlinks, right? That’s what gets sites ranked in the big G. But if you go and submit a few articles, maybe do some social bookmarking and put your signature in a forum or two, that still doesn’t get your site anywhere near the top…
If you want to get sites ranked in the top spots in Google, you need some automation tools. It’s just a fact. You can’t build thousands of backlinks manually and unless you build thousands of backlinks, you won’t get good rankings.
And that’s why free traffic isn’t free.
Good link-building automation tools cost a fortune, often in the form of monthly subscription fees.
And so, to get a good amount of “free” traffic, you need to invest quite a lot of money.
But that’s about to change…
Backlink Battleplan is a system that teaches you how to build backlinks and it’s all about getting tons of top-quality backlinks, getting them automatically and getting them for free!

3 Easy Ways To Make More Sales
Sep 10th
Getting visitors to your site is hard enough. It can take a lot of time, effort, and money to get enough traffic so your site can make a profit. Then there’s the reality that most of your visitors are going to leave your site without buying anything, and they’ll never be back.
If you can get 1 or 2 out of every 100 visitors to buy something, you’re doing good. It would be even better if you could get 3, 4, or more sales for every 100 visitors. So you need ideas that you can use that you can test to see if they will increase your conversion rates and your profits.
I want to point out that if you’re selling ANYTHING, there are 3 simple strategies you can use to increase the effectiveness of your sales letter. These strategies will help if you have your own product. They are also effective ideas if you’ve got products with master resell rights or private label rights products on your hard drive that you want to sell.
What you can do to get more of your visitors to buy from you is to create a sense of urgency, that if they don’t buy right now they’ll miss out on a good deal that won’t be available if they leave your site. Here are 3 ideas that you can use.
1. Offer a time limited special discount. Let your visitor know that if they purchase right now, they are guaranteed a lower price. Let them know what the regular price is, and tell them how much they’ll save if they buy now. Another way to do this is to offer the discount for a limited number of copies. You could decide that you will sell 100 copies at the discounted price, and then the price will be increased.
2. Offer a time limited bonus. Like the discount offer above, you can offer the bonus until a deadline that is displayed on your site. Or you could offer the bonus to a limited number of copies sold. “The first 100 customers will receive my $47 bonus absolutely free.”
3. Limit the number of copies that you’ll sell, or only sell the product for a limited time and then take it off your site. This creates a sense of urgency because if they are interested in your product, they can’t afford to take the chance that it won’t be available if they come back later.
These three strategies are very powerful and can result in a lot more sales for your product. Of course, you have to have a product you believe in and you have to make sure that if you make these offers, you stick to them. You can lose a lot of credibility if your visitors find out that you are misleading them in any way.
Use these strategies wisely, and they could help you to turn your visitors into buyers. To your continued online success.

Why Using A Link Shortening Service Can Cost You
Sep 9th
You know how important it is as an affiliate marketer to cloak your links. You do this for a couple of reasons. First, to reduce the possibility of someone trying to bypass your affiliate link and using their own, keeping you from getting paid a commission. The other reason is that most affiliate links are long and they look like affiliate links.
The danger is what do you do if these link shortening services shut down?
Your links don’t work anymore…
The reason this is such a big deal is because if you are using these links, and the site goes down, you have to search out every place where you have used that link and replace it with one that works. You have to go through every web page on every site you have and make sure to change the affected links. You have to go to your blog and replace the links there. And to Blogger, Squidoo, Hubpages, and your autoresponder sequences.
But what can you do about the articles you submitted, the forum posts, the free reports you created, the ebooks you sell. You can’t go back and change all of these links.
The reason I bring this up is because a couple of years ago this happened to me. The service I was using went out of business. They didn’t notify me that they were out of business, so I don’t know how long it was before I noticed, but it was a real headache changing all of my links.
Last year the popular service tinyurl went out of business. And this week there was a discussion on the Warrior Forum that budurl was down.
Because there is no guarantee that any of these sites will always work, you should be cautious about using these link shortening services. They’re probably OK if you have a mini site with a few pages of content, or if you’re using them in email messages. But if you’re creating free reports or PDF files that you are distributing, I wouldn’t use them at all. Instead, you would be better off using a simple redirect page on your own domain.
The advantage of doing this is that first, you can track how many clicks each of your links get by accessing AWStats in the Cpanel of your hosting account.
There’s another really big advantage. For example, you decide to promote a product about generating traffic using FaceBook. Since there are several of these products coming out, you may decide to promote a different FaceBook traffic product. If you use a redirect, you can change the affiliate link in the redirect page, and now every link that you have out there will redirect to the new offer.
I’m not going to go into how to set up a redirect page in detail here. You can find the code for a redirect online for free and set up the redirect pages on your web site easily. If you decide to use an online service for your links, remember, you were warned! To your online success…

Getting Free Traffic With WP Syndicator
Aug 13th
Getting traffic to your blog is essential for your business. You already know that, and you know that it can take a lot of time to get more traffic. And without traffic, all of your hard work wil be wasted.
Right now, one of the most effective way to get traffic to your blog is by getting one way backlinks to your site – a lot of backlinks. A good way to do this is to get links from Web 2.0 sites. Sites like: WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, Vox, LiveJournal, Tumblr, Mulitply, Plurk, FriendFeed, Xanga, Identica, You Are, Blellow and Bright Kite. And don’t forget Twitter.
One of the biggest drawbacks to this strategy is the time it takes. You have to go to each site, login, and post the content along with a link back to your site. And you have to do this every time you make a new post to your blog.
While this is effective, it takes a lot of time. You could hire someone to do it for you, but for most of us, that isn’t an option, at least not yet. So if you wanted links to your blog from these Web 2.0 sites, you had to do it yourself.
WP Syndicator has changed all of that. Here’s the short version of what WP Syndicator will do for you:
The first step is to sign up for an account at each of these sites. WP Syndicator will help you to do that. This should take less than an hour.
The next step is to write your blog post. Once you are done, WP Syndicator can submit an excerpt of your blog article to any or all of the Web 2.0 sites that you have signed up for. The default is 500 characters, which is around 100 words. You can set it to any length you want. At the end of the excerpt is a link back to your blog where they can read the rest of your post.
With WP Syndicator, you can automatically post content and get several links back to your site every time you update your blog. This saves a ton of time, and gets you a lot of backlinks and more free traffic.
WP Syndicator was purchased by over 1,000 people during a fund raiser that Andy Fletcher, the creator of WP Syndicator, ran on the Warrior Forum. It is getting great reviews and results, and now it’s your turn to see what WP Syndicator is all about. Click here now…
Easy Backlinks With WP Syndicator
Aug 12th
Setting up a self hosted WordPress Blog is about the quickest and easiest way to get a site up and running. Next comes the generating the traffic you need to get visitors t your blog so they can subscribe to your list or buy what you’re recommending. One of the most effective ways of getting your site to the top of the search engine results pages is by getting a lot of backlinks to your blog.
A creative guy named Andy Fletcher has created a new plug-in that makes it easy to start building backlinks for every post you make called WP Syndicator. What it does is make it push button simple to get the content from your blog to up to 15 Web 2.0 properties including WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, Vox, LiveJournal, Tumblr, Mulitply, Plurk, FriendFeed, Xanga, Identica, Blellow and Bright Kite. It will also send a tweet about your latest blog post at the same time.
What the WP Syndicator plug-in does is syndicate an excerpt from your blog post onto up to 15 Web 2.0 properties all in one easy click. What gets posted to the Web 2.0 sites is an excerpt from your post and you can set the length to whatever you want. By default, it will grab the first 500 characters which will usually average about 100 words. With that excerpt, will be a link back to your blog that will be “Read more…” or you can set it to the keyword anchor text you want. With the micro-blogging sites, such as Twitter, instead of the anchor text, it will have a shortened bit.ly link.
Now, you do have to take a bit of time in the initial set up of your plug-in. You need to create accounts at each of the sites, of course. You can do this right through the WP Syndicator interface as the menu will take you through to all the places that you need to sign up for the various sites. If you get stuck at all, there are some very handy videos that will guide you through the less obvious spots. This will take you from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how fast you type and how fast you can get through it all.
Once the initial set up is completed, it’s push button simple to syndicate your latest post. And one of the best features is that you can choose which sites to syndicate to with each post. For example, Identical and Blellow only take certain kinds of content so you wouldn’t want to syndicate a post that will be seen as spam to those sites. You can easily turn those two sites off before you have WP Syndicator do its thing.
So what does this mean? More traffic from those who read your material on the Web 2.0 sites and wish to read the rest of your article. They’ll gladly click through to your blog to see what else you have to say. More subscribers, because once they’re there, you will make sure they see your opt-in form, right? And of course, more backlinks that show the search engines how popular your blog is. Higher rankings in the search engines and more free traffic.

Affiliate Marketing Is Bigger Than Internet Marketing Products
Aug 6th
Internet marketing is a lot of fun for me. I love learning about the different methods there are to earn money, and I especially like affiliate marketing. No products to create, no customer service hassles, no headaches. Just promote the product and get paid when someone buys.
What I found myself doing was that when I was looking for products to promote, I almost always went straight to Internet Marketing related products. These were the products that I was being exposed to day after day as I opened my marketing related emails that I had subscribed to, the ads on blogs I read, and links on the forums I visited. That made sense because virtually all of my email was marketing related, as were the blogs and forums I visited.
Then I started reading posts on blogs and forums about how a lot of the big names in Internet Marketing made most of their money in other markets, and not by selling to the IM crowd.
I went to ClickBank.com, and instead of heading into the IM area, I started to take a look around at the other categories of products that were being offered. Once I took the time to browse through several of the categories, I was amazed. There are thousands of products at ClickBank, and a lot to choose from.
For example, in the Home And Garden Category, there are over 1,000 products. Sorted by popularity, at number 6 was a guide on building a chicken coop, and at number 7 was another product on building a chicken coop. I never thought that chicken coops would be so popular.
Drilling down in Home And Garden, I went to Animal Care And Pets. In this category, there are 376 products available, with the top spot going to a guide to dog training secrets, and in the rest of the top 10 were healthy food for dogs, cat care, and more dog training products.
What I discovered was that while I was focusing on the IM niche, I was missing out on a lot of other opportunities.
Do you realize how easy it is to select a niche such as chicken coops, find a few chicken coop products, and set up a site? Whether you use a blog or a HTML site, it wouldn’t take very long to get a site set up and start driving traffic.
How about products that never go out of style, such as weight loss, exercise, recipes, dog training, cooking, or travel?
The Internet Marketing niche is pretty crowded, and if you’ve been exclusively promoting IM products, and not having much luck, take a look at ClickBank and other affiliate networks. There are a lot of markets out there beyond IM, and it’s worth your time to put up a site or two and see what happens.

Best Free Keyword Tool?
Aug 5th
Keywords are the fuel that drives the online world. They are used by anyone who is looking for something online. As a marketer, it’s essential to find the keywords that you can use to get visitors to your sites and offers. We all want the best keyword tools, and we would like to get them for free.
So the question that comes up time and time again is:
What is the best free keyword tool?
Right now, the number one source of keywords is Google. They have a free keyword research tool that you can use, and a lot of successful marketers recommend using it as well. You can access it at: http://www.google.com/sktool
Google’s free keyword tool is useful, and it will give you search count as well as related keyword lists. What you don’t get are the number of competing web sites. This is a real problem if you are looking for keywords with high search volume and low competition. The other disadvantage of using the Google site is that you have to save the keyword lists to your computer.
What will save you a lot of time is to have a keyword tool that will get the keywords from Google, get you the number of competing web sites for each keyword in the list, and let you filter and save the results, all in one operation.
There are a lot of choices when it comes to keyword research tools that you can buy. What we’re looking for is a keyword tool that will do everything we need it to do, and do it for free.
There IS a keyword tool that you can use to do your research called Market Samurai. It gets its data from Google, and it will also get you the number of competing web sites for each keyword.
Market Samurai does a lot more than keyword research. It comes with modules for tracking your site’s rankings, SEO competition, monetization, finding content, publishing content, and promoting your site. To get all of the tools that come with Market Samurai, you have to purchase it.
The keyword research module of Market Samurai is FREE. It never times out, and you can use it for as long as you want.
Once you get Market Samurai, you can generate as many keyword lists as you want. You can filter the keywords, search related keywords, import keyword lists from another source, and save the results.
Using Market Samurai is the best of both worlds. You get the keyword data from Google, and you don’t have to waste time filtering the results in a spreadsheet or manually. Market Samurai will help you to do effective keyword research.
For me, Market Samurai is the best keyword tool you can get. The only way you’ll know if it is everything I say it is, is to install your copy today. Get your free copy of Market Samurai here…
