How to Get Free Backlinks

The importance of generating backlinks to increase your page rank can not be over emphasized. However, once you start your backlink building campaign, you will find that it can be a difficult job if you don't know which direction to take.

One of the traditional way to get backlinks is to search the internet for sites with a high PR that offer the same type products or information as your own and then ask them for a reciprocal link. A reciprocal link is an link exchange between two website where each site agrees to place the others links on their sites. The problem of course, is when you're just starting out, you have no page rank so their interest in exchanging links with you is nill.

So you'll have to get a little creative in order to build some backlinks. Here are several ways to gain backlinks that are not dependent on the larges of others. Your own hard work is the only constraint.

• One of the best ways to gain backlinks and to make the search engines very happy is to provide great content on your own website. Each post you write on your site has links back to your home page. Those links count! Bigger Sites have the advantage over little sites. So grow your website.


• Web 2.0 social networking sites have bombarded the internet, but you may not realize it is a great source of backlinks. You can set up an account with several networks, submit your blog posts with a link to your website and voila!; you have created a quality backlink to your website.


• Another great source of backlinks is the RSS feed of your site. You can use RSS feed to receive great exposure for your website or blog. Once you submit your website to an RSS Feed Directory your feed can be subscribe to by numerous readers, creating great exposure. And each of these feeds provides several backlinks to your site.


• Write articles and submitting them to article directories. There are hundreds and hundreds of article directories out there. But, many of them never get indexed be the search engines, so don't waste your time on a lot of little article directories, just focus on the larger ones like Ezine Article, Go Articles, Isnare, and Article Feeder. There are a few others and you can experiment. If you don't get a backlink when you submit, don't submit with them again.


• Go to blogs in your industry and read their blog posts and comment - using your blog url in your comment. Now I'm NOT saying you should SPAM!!! You should read the blog post, and your comment should add value to that blogger's page! If you can't do that, then please refrain from commenting.

The best advice I can give you is; Don't Give Up! Work everyday - consistently on your backlink efforts. Every Day! Set a goal of how many articles a day you'll write - how many posts you'll write - how many blog comments you'll make, and you'll get where you want to be, a lot sooner than you thought.

Until next time . . .

You've heard the buzz, you know it's all the rave and you've either dabbled at it or are planning to, but you just don't seem to have the time to twitter.

Have You Set Up A Hub Yet?

If you haven't yet set up a Hub Page you may be missing out on a great marketing tool. As many of you know, Squidoo is a great way to reach your market, make sales and drive traffic to your website. Well just a Squidoo can do all this for your business, Hub Pages can do the same thing.

For those who have set up Squidoo pages, you'll find that Hub Pages work on the same principle. You write your Hub page about anything your little heart desires, and you earn revenue, which is split with the 'Hub'.

You add capsules just as you would a Squidoo page module and you can add content, pictures, Google AdSense, RSS Feeds and even eBay and Amazon items for sale. And once you get your account set up, I believe its even easier to set up than the other pages. Click here to set up a Hub Page.

Until next time . . .

Landing Page Load Time

Looks like Google has found another way to hike up the prices on your AdWords campaigns. Starting in April, Google will be assessing the load time of landing pages and the resulting score will impact the Quality Score and thus our cost per click.

You can see what Google thinks of your landing pages by going to your Google account, and opening one of your ad groups, click on the keyword tab and then hover your cursor over the magnifying glass image. A pop up box will appear. Click on 'Details and Recommendations' and you will open up the Keyword Analysis Page. There you will find the landing page score for your keyword.

By improving your landing page score you can positively impact your quality score and save a little coin.

Until next time . . .

Free Tools Are Always My Favorites

Just a couple of free tools I wanted to show you - for all my pay-per-click buddies out there. For those who use Matt Levenhagen's Blast method, or have large AdWords accounts there is the Google AdWords Editor. In case you're not familiar with this tool let me tell you it can be a life saver.

First of all it enables you to have all your campaigns backed up on your own computer, which can be a real blessing if Google were to lose your account information (this has happened and would be a real booger if you were needing to reconstruct campaigns).

And secondly, it gives you the opportunity to work offline and upload changes on your AdWords campaigns. Very nice program and easy to figure out (this fact is a real plus for those of us who hate to read instructions).

The second free tool is a really cool keyword tool you can download called Keyword Transformer. This tool builds your keyword list by adding and taking out spaces, adding common misspellings and expanding your list for broad, phrase and exact match. A real time saver. And the paid version will give you common permutations of your keywords among other great little features.

Hope you're able to use these little gems. Until next time . . .
