SEO Tutorial Part 3 - Are All Backlinks Equal?

Today I will elaborate on the link value of various backlink types, all with the end result to help your adsense sites rank high...

1) Are the backlinks indexed?

Having a website linking to you doesn't mean you've got a backlink. Only backlinks that are indexed are counted.

How to know if a backlink is indexed? If you are publishing articles, the best way is to Google for a unique phrase of your article, with double quote. For example, you can google for "this is a phrase from your article", including the " ".

This will force Google to return all the indexed articles containing this exact phrase, and if this phrase is unique to your article, you are forcing Google to return all your
articles that are indexed.

Note: If you use the "link: yoursite.com" search in Google or Yahoo, the result is highly inaccurate. This is a known fact in the industry.

2) Are the backlinks from unique contents?

If all your backlinks are from the same article, such backlinks will be discounted.
This means if you publish the same article across a network of article directories, the actual value of all the backlinks will be reduced. They will still count, but not as much.

The current solution in the industry is to spin the article before distribution, so as to 'cheat' Google into believing that those articles are unique. So far this trick works.


3) Are the backlinks from unique domains and IPs?

If all your backlinks are from the same domain or same IP address, such links will also be discounted.   Again, discounted doesn't mean not counted. They still count.


4) Position of the backlink within the linking page

It is rumored that Google discount backlinks from the end of an article because such links are usually links from article directories, where in most cases - you add your
links in the resource box.

I'm not sure if this is true. Assuming it's true, you should try to get backlinks from content syndication network such as EzArticleLink, where you can create backlinks from any part of the article.


5) Anchor texts of the backlinks
This is an important point. Please pay attention to this!

Although theoretically if you want to optimize for "cheap christmas present", you should use "cheap christmas present" (without quote) as your anchor text, but if all your backlinks are using the same anchor text, Google will frown.

Reason?

Google doesn't want you to build links. Remember, in Google's ideal, it wants other websites to link to you because you are good.

Under such ideal, it's impossible to have all 100 links linking to you using exactly the same anchor text! Hence, in your link building process, you should vary
the anchor text.

The strategy I like to use is a mixture of the main keyword and some longer-tail keywords. For example, if I'm trying to optimize for 'cheap christmas present', majority of the backlinks will be 'cheap christmas present'.

Some links should use other longer tail phrases, such as 'very cheap christmas present', 'buy cheap christmas present', and so on...

The beauty of this linking strategy is that the longer tail phrases will reinforce the main keyword phrase, while the main phrase will also reinforce the longer tail phrases.

The result is that you rank well in not just 'cheap Christmas present' but all other longer tail phrases too.

That's another thing I like about EzArticleLink. It allows me to set up 3 anchor texts for every article.

40% of the links will go to the main anchor text and 40% will be evenly spread to the other two anchor texts. The rest of the 20% will be linked from the article title, which rightfully should also include your keywords.

This means for every article I post, I will get hundreds of different anchor text linking to my website, with most of the backlinks being my main keywords.


6) Are the backlinks backlinked?

The idea is this. If webpage A has got other webpages linking to it, and webpage A links to your website, it mean your website has to be quite important.

The experts in the SEO industry call this promote your promotion, i.e. building backlinks to the webpages that link to your website.

As I mentioned before, this is done automatically in EzArticleLink system. I am not aware of any other systems that can do that!


7) Are the backlinks from authority site?
A backlink from a website with high pagerank, i.e. an authority site, is many times more powerful than a backlink from a website with no pagerank, though both are counted, so long as they are indexed.

Though it's not easy to get backlinks from authority site, it's worth the effort. You can get some backlinks from authority site such as ezinearticles, squidoo, blogspot
and social networking sites.

Another way is by posting comments on high PR blogs that 'dofollow'. Remember to build backlinks to these backlinks to boost the link power!

You can easily do so with services like EzArticleLink.


8) Age of the backlink

Finally, the age of the backlinks matters. If you have a webpage with lots of backlinks built years ago, and there are no new backlinks recently, you will realize that the
search engine ranking of the webpage will start to drop.

The reason is simple. To Google, if no one wants to link to you now, it means your webpage is no longer worthy.

It's not necessary to have fresh backlink going to every webpage of your website on a continual basis. But minimally, you should build backlinks to the homepage
of your website on a regular basis.

The Big 4 Affiliate Networks

Affiliate marketing is one great way to make money online. You can do it part-time or full-time and all you have to do is sell someone else's product!

If you are new to the affiliate marketing world you need to join an affiliate network. This article from Suzanne E Morrison will list the big 4 affiliate networks.

1. ClickBank (www.clickbank.com) is an excellent network to join. This network is extremely easy to use and sells mainly digital download products. You are paid every two weeks and you earn much higher commission than on other networks!

You will be able to market over 10,000 products, but beware of the competition. Internet marketers that are experienced tend to market these products above other affiliate networks, so you will be competing with some of the best.

To be successful with this network you need to first market your specific niche of your site. If your niche is video games or world travel, those are the products you need to be marketing!

2. LinkShare (www.linkshare.com) is one of the oldest affiliate networks on the internet. This network was bought out by Japanese Portal Rakuten for $425 million. They offer products from many of the top Fortune 500 companies, so there will be no problem finding products and services to promote from your niche. You will receive a monthly check for your commissions.

3. Amazon (www.amazon.com) is an amazing affiliate network to join if you are looking to sell products from your website. They have excellent stats and it is easy to create links and place them on your webpage. You are also given the ability to create your own store with Amazon Stores.

Amazon offers lower commission rates than other networks but the sales are easier because Amazon is a well known online company. You are paid monthly by Amazon for your commission. 

You can buy some product from Amazon with simple ways by click ads on this blog too. I'm very recomended that. :)

4. Google (www.google.com/adsense/) is a company that few think of when they think of affiliate networks. However, their AdSense program does offer products. You will not have as many products, but Google is definitely a business to join.

Typical affiliate links or products will return 10 times what Google AdSense will, so most marketers will not put these on their primary pages. However, you will earn a good return in the long run by placing them on less targeted pages.

Amazon, ClickBank, Google, and LinkShare are 4 of the top affiliate marketing networks on the internet today. Joining any of these top affiliate networks will help you start your own affiliate business an be successful with it!

Make Money Online With Affiliate Marketing Using A Blog

Affiliate marketing is probably where you will earn the greatest amount of money on your blog – over time – unless you are selling your own products. While other forms of revenue from your blog are more ‘passive’ in nature, affiliate marketing is more active.

Let’s look for just a minute about ‘passive’ activity and ‘active’ activity. Running Google Ads on your site is passive. Running ads from the networks is also basically passive. Selling links is even passive, as it takes very little of your time or attention.

Affiliate marketing, on the other hand, is not passive. Affiliate marketing on blogs is not done with banner ads and such. It isn’t even really done with text link ads. Instead, you have to learn how to use your blog posts to pre-sell the affiliate product.

After your blog is set up with various sources of revenue, this is where the majority of your work is done – making blog posts and recommending related affiliate products in those posts.

The post has to be conversational, personal, and push the product without appearing to push the product. Nobody wants to be sold to, and they did not come to your blog for the purpose of reading a sales letter – they came to be entertained or informed.

I suggest that anybody who is starting a blog read and study a few writing courses. You must learn how to engage your reader, while getting your point across.

The other option is to choose your affiliate programs, let a ghostwriter know which program you want to push, and hire them to write your post. Ghostwriters already have the experience to engage a reader while pushing an idea or product in a smooth way.

When you post what you have written, make sure that the link to the affiliate product is ‘clickable.’ It’s a turn off for your readers. You should essentially create a text link.

Now, what affiliate products should you promote? You can promote any product that is related to your topic. It is a good idea to take an affiliate marketing course. When you write your post, make sure that you apply the product to your own life or experience.

You can find affiliate products, in numerous categories, from the following networks:

1. ClickBank - http://www.clickbank.com – Has thousands of digital products, in numerous categories to choose from. Each merchant pays different percentages on sales.

2. PayDotCom.com – http://www.paydotcom.com – Has thousands of products, mostly digital. Percentages paid by each merchant differ.

3. Commission Junction – http://www.cj.com – Offers mostly tangible products. After joining Commission Junction, you must apply for the programs that you want to promote separately, from within the CJ control panel.

4. Link Share – http://www.linkshare.com – Mostly tangible products. Each merchant pays different percentages on sales.

5. Share-A-Sale – http://www.shareasale.com – Tangible and digital products. Each merchant pays out different percentages. With the exception of PayDotCom, your earnings are paid by the network – not by the merchant. PayDotCom merchants are responsible for paying their affiliates, and those funds are paid directly into your PayPal account. Make sure that you pay attention to how much you will be paid per sale. Some products simply are not worth promoting because they don’t pay out enough. Look for products that pay out 50% of the sale price or more.

Affiliate marketing most likely will not provide instant income. To make money online with affiliate marketing, you have to build a readership. You have to build trust and credibility with those readers, and then, you have to choose the right products to promote to your audience. Be patient – affiliate marketing and blogs is a match made in heaven, and this will pay off well for you in the end. source

Increase Your Online Business Revenue With Email Newsletters

Email marketing or usually called email newsletter is directly marketing a commercial message to a group of people using email. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing. It usually involves using email to send ads, request business, or solicit sales or donations, and is meant to build loyalty, trust, or brand awareness. Email marketing can be done to either cold lists or current customer database. Broadly, the term is usually used to refer to:

• Sending email messages with the purpose of enhancing the relationship of a merchant with its current or previous customers, to encourage customer loyalty and repeat business,
• Sending email messages with the purpose of acquiring new customers or convincing current customers to purchase something immediately,
• Adding advertisements to email messages sent by other companies to their customers

Here are a few tips on how to create an email newsletter from Cynthia Minnaar ( full-time internet marketer and owner of http://www.cyns-home-biz.com) :  

1. Maintain focus

A narrowly focused newsletter performs better than a broad themed one.

This is because it is easier to get people to subscribe to it. Also it is an excellent way to sell targeted niche products. 

2. Make use of a good auto-responder 

It is very important that your email newsletter gets through spam filters and into a person's email inbox.

3. Always be consistent

 What is important is that you set a schedule and stick to it. If you decide on a monthly newsletter then consistently get your newsletter out every month on the same date so people get used to seeing it.

4. Include useful information. 

When people receive useful information they will be glad they subscribe to your newsletter. Also the more unique information you can include in your newsletter the more subscribers you will get and keep.

5. Use your newsletter to sell advertising

Selling top sponsor adverts, bottom sponsor adverts, classified adverts and email solo adverts is a way you can make money. Just don’t over advertise in your newsletter to the point that people can't find the quality information you provide.

6. Use it for Branding

Ensure that you get the header at the top of your newsletter. Also if you are going to include colors into your newsletter make it match the theme of your blog or website.

You will be doing a good job of branding your Internet business when people get used to seeing the same things over and over from you.

7. Publish several email newsletters

Many Internet marketers branch into multiple niches but neglect the things that were successful with when they first started.

By publishing a newsletter for every niche that you are involved in is a great way to make more money in that targeted niche. If you work at adding subscribers to every newsletter you have, you will be amazed at how much more income you can generate.

The above are a few tips on how to create an email newsletter. You will discover that an email newsletter that is published on a consistent basis, to people who choose to receive it, becomes a very valuable business asset.

Five Mistakes Affiliate Marketers Make

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate'), and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors.

Affiliate Marketing is one of the most effective and powerful ways to earn a living online. Affiliate programs give everybody a chance to make a profit through the internet. Since these affiliate-marketing programs are relatively easy to join, implement and pays a commission on a regular basis, more and more people are now willing to join in this lucrative business.

However, there are also pitfalls in the Affiliate Marketing business. These common mistakes may cost affiliate marketers a large chunk of their profit everyday unless they are avoided or rectified. Here, we will enumerate the five most common mistakes that Affiliate Marketers make.

Mistake #1: Choosing the wrong affiliate products

Most people want to earn from affiliate marketing as soon as possible. Pick a product that appeals to you. Do some research about that product and determine if they are in demand. Choose a product that you will promote passionately.

Mistake #2: Joining too many affiliate programs

Since affiliate-marketing programs are so easy to join, you might find that you have nothing to lose if you join multiple affiliate programs. The best way to get excellent results is by joining one program that pays at least 40% commission.  

Mistake #3: Not buying the product or using the service

As an affiliate, your job is to promote a product or service effectively and convincingly and find customers. For you to effectively promote and recommend any product or service, you must be able to relay to the customers its benefits. One common mistake that affiliate marketers do is failing to try the product and service. Thus, they are not able to promote and recommend the product or service convincingly and fail to create a desire in the customer to buy or avail of the product or service.

Try the product or service personally, before you sign up as an affiliate and see if it delivers what it promises. If you are using the product or service personally then you can credibly promote its advantages and benefits.

Mistake #4: Signing up for low-paying commissions

Although affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to make some profit online, not all affiliate programs pay high commissions. There are programs that can pay as low as 1-2%. Look for an affiliate program that have a 30% or higher commission payouts. Another way to create income in affiliate marketing is looking for programs that give residual payouts.

Mistake #5: Disposable Customers

As an affiliate, you work hard to find prospects and convince them to purchase or avail of the product or service. However, what happens after that customer purchases the product? Building a good customer list is one of the effective strategies to increase your profit.

Take the time to analyze your affiliate marketing efforts and see if you are on the right track. With the right strategies and techniques, you can maximize the potential of your affiliate-marketing program and earn higher profit.

Affiliate Marketing = Extra Income

Affiliate Marketing is the fastest growing industry on the Internet today. Extra Income made through this channel runs into billions of dollars yearly. Many people get involved in it without a solid plan for success. Indeed, many want to earn extra income using affiliate marketing, albeit without a real base plan, which is the most important reason for most being unsuccessful at it. Do you really look at any earning without understanding or planning the future of any business, be it at work or at earning extra income?

Don not be under any misconceptions, though affiliate marketing is an easy and entertaining way to earn extra income, it is serious work, and just like any other job that requires effort, perseverance, and above all, a clear line of sight and plan of action from start to finish line.

1. Home Office Setup
The most important step to take before becoming an affiliate marketer is to set up your base – little home office you’ve always wanted.

You can find many resources on the internet about ergonomic design. Ergonomic because anyone intending to spend a major amount of time working on their computers need space which promotes good posture at the same time takes care of safety issues involving their office workspace.

2. Learning the Trade
Nobody gets into work untrained. Putting in a nutshell, no one hires you for giving you a free extra income without basic training. There are many professional affiliate marketers already earning a substantial extra income, who would be willing to teach you by passing o their knowledge so that you can augment the extra income they are already earning. The internet also offers a lot of resources and conference time tables which you can attend to learn.

3. Goals
The major problem that plagues most affiliate marketers is that they tend to set themselves unrealistic goals by being over confident about their skills and plans. This results in becoming disenchanted very quickly due to non attainment of goals. Being realistic removes a lot of pain in this context. For example a goal of $5,000 a month realistically attainable, but a first time affiliate marketer is not likely to attain it when starting up. source

Tips On Running An Online Home Based Business

Here I would give some tips how to start a business from home. I'm sure everyone would want to make money from the internet and there are many options that you can take. with this article I hope you have a bit of enlightenment.

Running an online home based business can be a great way to generate income and create a flexible work schedule. One of the nice things about running this type of business is that it provides the entrepreneur with freedom and gets them out of the stresses of a traditional job. However, making an online business successful is not easy. Here are a few tips on how to run an online business successfully.

Track Financials

One of the biggest challenges that entrepreneurs have when running a home based business is keeping track of their financials. For this part of the process, it makes sense to use some kind of online accounting software like QuickBooks or Zoho. By doing this, an entrepreneur can keep track of his expenses more easily. He can also keep track of profit margins, do financial statements, and file taxes easier.

Managing Projects

When running this type of business, it is also important to be able to stay on top of the projects that are in the works. It is easy to get sidetracked or forget about some important task related to a project. When an entrepreneur uses some kind of project management software, it makes it a lot easier to handle projects professionally. This is ideal if the project manager is working with a few different people on a project as well. It makes it possible to collaborate on projects via the Internet. When working with a team, this type of software is a must.

Set a Schedule

Many people who run their own businesses get in the habit of working at all hours of the day. This can be a problem, as it leads to burnout and other issues along the way. It is important to set a specific schedule when working in this capacity. This way, the entrepreneur will know exactly when he is supposed to be at work and when he is done. One of the attractive things about working a regular job is that the employee gets to stick to some specific hours. Once that same person starts working from home, the schedule tends to go out the window. Even if the work schedule is going to be from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM, it is important to stick to a regular schedule.

Considerations

Regardless of what type of industry the business is in, it is critical to treat it like a regular business. Many entrepreneurs treat their home based businesses like a side project, instead of a fully-fledged business. This attitude is often passed onto their potential customers, which turns some of them off. When an entrepreneur wants to run a successful online home business, he has to take it seriously, and expect to succeed.  source

It is very important that the first thing you do, in order to earn long term money online, is accept the fact that you are going to have to do real work. You will have to do actual and real work on a daily basis and you will have days when you feel fantastic about what you do and days when you wish you could find something else to take on. This causes it to be just about like every other occupation that is out there. If you want to produce lasting cash flow by working lots right now and not at all later on then you are going to be in for a rude awakening in a little while. So be ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

There are a few ventures that lend themselves much better to a long term career than others will. Affiliate marketing, to use one example, is a great task for someone who wants to earn money on a part time basis or to supplement your already existent income. Is it truly possible to earn a full time income in this manner? You could if you pick out only the right products and then work like crazy to promote them. A far better approach, nevertheless, is to create your own products or websites and then promote those. This gives you full control over the projects you take on and how you accomplish them. And you will end up more likely to stick with it in the long run. If you want to give a service on the web this works much the same way. Writers, for example, need to create websites for themselves and create portfolios that they can point to as examples of their work.

Finally, perhaps the most significant thing that you need to recognize is that, when you want to build a long term and reliable income on the internet, you need to truly dedicate yourself to your task. You might have fun and feel rewarded by your efforts but first you should tell yourself "yes, I really want to do this." Making a half hearted effort is not about to get you anywhere.
