I Want To Learn About Link Building
John signed up at IMMembership.com yesterday and said he wanted to know more about link building, so I decided to answer him as fully as I can today.
Firstly before any sort of link building is done you need to have a website with content. This can also be an affiliate link redirect, but I would always use some form of content.
Now this man John used an e-mail that was from a domain he owned, so I went along to have a look. I wanted to see if I could get some background on him, but the site is just a fresh wordpress installation. I had a look using the way back machine as the domain is well over 4 years old, but there is nothing but a holding page to see.
There is something holding this man back from building a site and in most cases this is either that the person is chasing the next ‘greatest thing’ or they are worrying over building the best site in the world.
START TODAY. Get something up on the site, even if it a ‘I don’t know where to start, but I will’ kind of thing
Now once you have something on your site you can start building links. Below is a list of how to do build links, in no particular order. You will no doubt have seen this list before, but if you don’t do them you will not get backlinks. People always seem to think there is something missing and 99.9% of the tilme there is … they do not take action.
1) Social bookmarking - use a keyword rich title, description and as many tags/keywords as you can. Varying your title and description will help too.
2) Article Marketing - Completely unique articles will do the best, but If you are no good at writing you can just write one unique article and spin/re-write it to be about 40% unique (although the more unique the better) and submit it to the article directories. You can check the uniqueness for free at Dupecop.
3) Submit your RSS feed to the RSS Directories - if you have a html or php or asp site and are not using a blogging platform like wordpress that gives you a feed automatically visit Dapper.net and get an rss feed.
4) Trackback - this is only relevant to wordpress users, but if you link to another wordpress users blog post and they have trackbacks enabled they will see the post you made the next time they log into their dashboard and can approve or not approve it like a comment. Most people approve these trackbacks giving you a relevant backlink.
Now this list of 4 ways is not in any way exhaustive. You can also comment on other people’s blogs and post in forums with a link in your signature to your site. Like I have said more than once the most important thing is to start and once you have a few links in forums and on other people’s blogs and in the social sites other people will start to link to you too, if your content is worth linking to of course
A great example is at the end of this post there is a link with the title ‘Related articles by Zemanta’. Zemanta is a firefox add on that integrates with your wordpress dashboard. It might integrate with blogger too, I’m not sure. Anyway the link below was a suggestion from them on related content to what I am writing about in this post. Now the guy who wrote the article on the link missed out any links to his website in his article which completely defeats the object of article writing, but it still proves my point. People CAN and WILL find your website and use your content if you put it out there.
So get to it. Create 10 links to your site every day in the hope to get 4 and after a month you could have as many as 300 backlinks meaning you would beat most of your competition out of the water.
Let me know what you do to get backlinks or if you have had success doing the above. I love to hear from you.

Google Shows Us The Way To Go
Image via Wikipedia
Google have released heir own SEO guide. It is a 22 page easy to read pdf covering the basics of on page SEO.
I think it is a great idea and should help beginners (newbies) with getting their site up without buying this, that and the other (meaning the latest SEO ebook, software or script).
Don’t get me wrong, there are some great products out there, but ‘information overload’ can and will arrive. The people just starting out get it the worst as they search desperately for THE THING that will get them to where they want to go.
My suggestion to everyone would be to start small and build on it …
1) Buy a domain
2) Sort out hosting
3) Create a one page site selling something
4) Drive traffic to the site
5) Learn one thing new
6) Implement that change
7) Drive traffic to the site
Repeat steps 5 to 7 until that site is earning you a steady amount
9) Repeat all steps with a new site.
By the time you reach step 9 you will have learnt a lot and can implement it all straight away in your new site.
Just think, it may take you 6 months to get your first site earning $100 a month, but it will only take you 3 months to do it for the second one and less for the third etc … Within a year you could be earning $500 extra a month.
I know there are lots of people offering you lots of money per month with little effort, but this is just not the case. If you are a fast learner or have some knowledge already you are already ahead of the game.
However, stop chasing the next big thing and put yourself to work. Taking action is the only way to succeed.
Google is giving us this information, which means that this is what they use to look at sites. Implement this if nothing else. You can download it here.
Let me know your thoughts as always, I love hearing from you.
Getting Started
When signing up for your free Keyword Domination report over at IMMembership.com, Lee wanted to know how to get started for free earning some money before he invested in other tools to make it big.
This is a very interesting question, which is why I chose to cover it first.
First and foremost you need to take action. You can only make something if you put something in. There is a saying that you need money to make money, but in the case of online marketing this is slightly different. If you have little or no money to start off you need to make more of an effort and will see less return, but as your returns/profits come in you can invest this in your online business, work less and create more profits.
So, how do I get started for free?
Follow the 9 easy steps to keyword domination laid out in the report at IMMembership.com, but instead of buying a domain and getting hosting you would use web space on someone else’s site.
There are lots of websites that will let you create your own site within their site. These sites rank highly, so if you build your links as you would with a site you owned you should be able to rank highly for your keywords.
Here is a list of just some of the sites available to you (there are loads more, just do a google search for free web space and free websites) …
I hope you found this post helpful. Please let me know your thoughts by posting a comment.
