Increase link popularity with articles.

Aug 14, 2008 in Computer and Internet

Building link popularity is hard work.
“If a site is willing to host a text article, in the form of a complete ready made text web page that is easy to upload, then you have found the ultimate link partner. To review a text article we send complete with links in it’s standard form view nutra-system”.

————————————————————————

I have been reading recently about the benefits of article marketing. A recent post to the ezinearticles blog asked if writing articles was worth wasting time over. I have been writing articles for quite a long time and in my opinion it certainly is. I will explain why I think it is in this article.

3D_8Around a year ago I wrote my first article and posted it to ezinearticles, which many people regard as the best article directory/website. Looking back I have to admit that I did not really know what I was doing, and in truth the article was not that impressive. I continued to write more articles and continued to make mistakes.

Unlike other directories who seem to accept any old article, ezinearticles check what you are submitting. In these early days a guy called Wally would regularly e-mail me with advice on how I could improve my articles. At that stage my articles were too short, not thought out, and basically rushed. I did not realise the value of writing articles and did not make the required time available for this form of web promotion.

I found it difficult to keep thinking of new material and fell into another trap of re-submitting articles I had already written. I would change a few words or would re-word paragraphs. I was not aware that this was against their guidelines, however Wally soon informed me that it was. Tip, always read the guidelines.

I am now spending a lot more time when I write the articles and feel that they have gradually improved, this has been confirmed by Wally himself I am pleased to report.

As for the benefits of writing articles and is it worth your time and effort? I have had e-mails from all around the world from people who have enjoyed reading my articles, maybe I am a bit sad but this gives me a little buzz. Some of these people have included the article in their blog or on their website, thus creating an additional backward link to my website/s.

link popularityThe people who read the article are potential visitors to your site, a visitor you would not have had, had you not written the article. That visitor could of course turn into a client or purchaser of your product/s.

For me search engines are going down the path of seeing one-way backward links as by far the most powerful form of link. Many people are offering link exchanges with other websites to boost their page rank or search engine position. There are many automated link building programs which make link exchanges even easier to obtain. Search engines have realised that this is taking place and place a much lower value on these type of links. One way links are not as easy to obtain, however writing articles has the potential of creating many one way backward links to you site and therefore is a must for any serious webmaster.

I have not written nearly two hundred articles and have seen huge increases in traffic to my websites as well as increases in their page rank.

People may disagree with my belief that article marketing is worth the time and effort, I do not really care as it works for me.

——————————————————————————————–

Surprisingly, writing articles on your topic can lead you to a wealth of link popularity.

If you write articles, you get to use them on your website and you build your website content. You can also submit your articles to other sites. With both methods you get a lot in return:

  • You build your content. More is better when it comes to site content.
  • You promote your website. With more keyword-rich text on more pages, you will increase the number of pages indexed by the search engines.
  • Other websites link back to your website content. Sites focused on related topics link back to you.
  • You receive a link back to your website from the site you submitted the article to. Remember to include a link in all guest articles you submit.
  • You become an authority on your topic. Search engines reward sites with a larger number of inbound links from sites dealing with similar topics.

The benefits of article exchanging:

  • You can focus on getting your text article indexed on the host exchange partners site by pointing to it yourself to guarantee that your article gets indexed.
  • Reciprocal text article page hosting is especially exciting for those of you that want to increase page rank and position on Google.

Articles exchange is a new and powerful way to achieve mutual website promotion and to improve your website Google PageRank.

WHAT CAN, RULES, WAYS IN Social Media Marketing.

Aug 14, 2008 in Computer and Internet

What Social Media Can & Can t Do:

Social media can engage your audience, encourage online conversations that are user-generated, increase your web presence, expand brand awareness, generate publicity (both good & bad) and provide SEO benefits. It doesn t convert.

For most marketers, social media has no ROI but is great for:

In some cases, social media can convert - usually if you own the community, and have the power to strategically capture leads. But that s like being the D&D Dungeon Master.

6 rules of a Media Marketing

There s a lot that goes into a successful social media campaign, much more than just creating great content or asking some friends for votes. Here s a look at 6 different factors that will influence your success.

  • The Purpose
    In order to run a successful social media campaign you have to have a clear understanding of what your purpose is, for example, back links, gain subscribers, etc. Without specific goals you won t be able to measure your accomplishments.
  • A Multi-Part Plan
    You need to have a plan to go about accomplishing your purpose. If you re hoping to draw inbound links, part of the plan will involve developing an idea of something that others will want to link to. Another part of the plan will involve how you will go about getting your content popular with social media.
  • Studying of Targeted Networks
    Each social media site has its own users with different preferences. An article may do very well on one social media site and not on another. An effective campaign will involve studying the sites that you want to use to see what types of content do well. Obviously, you can then use this knowledge to your advantage by creating something that users are likely to appreciate.
  • Leveraging of Existing Strengths
    Do you already have a significant number of readers or strong contacts with other bloggers and social media users? If so, take advantage of them by encouraging them to vote for your submissions.
  • Relevant and fresh Content
    You may be able to get your submission to the front page based on a strong profile or a lot of connections, but what will ultimately determine your level of success is the content itself.
    Some may tag original, fresh content as the most important aspect of being productive with social media. Despite whether the cliche phrase Content is King is true, fresh content creates a community around relevant information and establishes credibility.
    In order to create the strongest long-term results your content that is created for social media should be as relevant to your site as possible.
  • Be authentic
    If a social media campaign isn t genuine, authentic, or natural, prepare for an onslaught of negative feedback. Being transparent about your identity and the nature of your message will enhance all other online marketing tactics by showing your consumers the respect they deserve. Deceptive practices may be tempting, and may even show quick results, but it will hinder any opportunity to create a relationship with users. Jeremiah Owyang has compiled a list of companies and individuals that tried to take shortcuts with social media only to see their efforts backfire. The last thing you want for your campaign is to expend resources and time, only to see yourself added to this list.

10 Ways to Incorporate Social Media Marketing

  • Create profiles on social networking sites;
  • Create your own social networking site;
  • Send updates via Twitter;
  • Create a YouTube channel;
  • Participate in online forums;
  • Submit your news to social news sites;
  • Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog;

Mistakes To Avoid When Using Web Templates

Jul 14, 2008 in Computer and Internet

Website templates are very affordable and they save you a lot of effort and time when you want to create a new layout for your website. However, a lot of people make mistakes in the process of choosing and using a web template and end up with something that was unlike the image they had in mind. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid those mistakes.Money (60)

The first obvious mistake you should be aware of is using a template that is very popular. If many people use the same template, your website will not appear unique at all and your credibility as a solid, different website will be tarnished. In other words, you will appear generic just like your next-door neighbours.

To whole point of using a web template is to save time and effort. You just change the title and appropriate details and you’re done. The biggest mistake one makes is to customize the template beyond recognisation. While that may be good in the sense that you’re creating a unique graphic, you’re defying the very purpose of using a web template — saving time and effort.

However, on the opposite side, if a template you purchase is suitable but some changes must be made to suit your site’s theme, then you will have to take some time to make the changes. For example, you can find a very nice template that suits your hobby site except the original designer has put an image of stamps in the header. You can find images of garden plants and spades to replace the stamps for your gardening hobby site. However, do only make the necessary changes and don’t redesign the whole template.

In some circumstances, some people simply make the wrong choice of templates. This is a very subjective issue but you have to be careful in selecting templates to suit your audience. Do not choose templates just because they are pretty, choose them because they serve your purpose.

Dell laptop are without a doubt the world’s favourite mobile systems since the very first notebook was introduced in 1991. What is really astonishing about these particular laptops is that they can be tailored to look great too. These computers are guaranteed to be robust, performant and above all, well priced compared to similar computers of another brand. As a matter of fact, a great percentage of customers that purchases Dell mobile computers do so because they know that the after-sales service they get from this manufacturer is nothing but top notch. The reason I’ve always bought Dell laptops is their next-day on-site service. The thing about the top of the line dell computers is that they actualy have a mini agp port that the gfx card plugs into. The Dell Latitude laptop computer systems will deliver powerful performance and are build to be flexible and portable if you travel a lot or move your computer back and forth say for instance, from your home to the office to the coffee bar.

DELL computers are the number one computer manufacturer in the USA. Though other companies claim for the same position, DELL is undisputed champion in terms of desktops and laptop computers. In last two years many companies like Apple, HP, Acer are giving tough competition but the Dell products are best for there durability and the servicing. Founded by Michael Dell in 1984, the original name was PC’s limited. Latter the name changed to Dell Computers with head quarters at Round rock, Texas, USA.

Building Your Mailing List with Downloads

Jul 04, 2008 in Computer and Internet

A mailing list is the lifeblood of your online business. The old adage “the money is in the list” cannot be true enough — if you had a targeted list of prospects to contact each time you have a new product, you will be able to save a lot of effort by marketing it to your existing list of targeted prospects.

You can actually build up a targeted list of prospects that are interested in your products by offering a relevant download on your website. For example, let’s take a look at a very good example — apple.com. When you download the free iTunes and Quicktime software from their site, they will ask you to fill in an optional name and email form so that they can send you offers on songs that you can purchase via — guess where — iTunes!3d_065

In reality, you do not need to offer such a “heavyweight” download such as a full-feature software like iTunes.  You can attract prospects equally well with some quality freebies such as a simple report, a free wallpaper, and so on. The important thing is that your download offers enough value for the prospect to be willing to give away his/her own email address to get it.

However, slapping together a simple download and putting a link on your website won’t be enough to attract qualified prospects. You will have to do some homework in order for your lead-generating mechanism to work well for you.

First of all, you must place your download form prominently on your website. Preferably, dedicate a page to it and link to that page from every other page of your website. That way, there is no way your visitors cannot find the download page, and when they do, you’ll get some of them converted into your prospects!

Also, you have to put a little effort into promoting your download. Explain and elaborate on the values of the download, and why your visitors should download it. You might think why would anyone want to pass on a freebie, but most of your visitors would be too lazy to take the effort to download it because most of their downloads just sit on the harddisk collecting virtual dust. It is hence important to show your visitors why they should download your freebie.
