Are You Going Nowhere SLOW?

Are you going Nowhere Fast? 
My Dad used to ask whenever I was scurrying around and getting nothing done. 
I never understood the question. 
The image of the camel and the herder speaks to me...
THEY are going Nowhere SLOW. 

Well They think they are going Somewhere.
They watch traffic go by.
And wish they had some.
They don't know that without more TRAFFIC they are indeed going Nowhere SLOW.


How do YOU bring traffic to your site?

Get help.  Go here.

Watch the slide show. And then watch it again.

My next post will be BACKLINK CITY

Does Your Website Have 8 Types of Backlinks?

FOLKS- I WANT YOU TO READ THIS AND LISTEN TO WHAT THIS GUY HAS TO SAY
By: Daniel McGonagle

There are many different ways to get backlinks. This article will discuss 8 of the most common ways to get backlinks. It will also discuss which types of links are most effective.

Do not give up on reciprocal links. They still have value. The ease of obtaining these links make them less effective than other types of backlinks but they have some value and they're not "dead" like so many people claim. These are 2-way links that happen when webmasters agree to link to each other's sites.

Social bookmarking links are also of little value. Getting social bookmarking links is a good way to get a new post or page indexed. However you cannot rely upon just social bookmarking links if you want to rank well for highly competitive terms. If you look in your website's Cpanel under the AWSTATS interface you'll see that social bookmarking links are in a special category separate from other types of links because they are devalued links.

One-way links are more powerful links. However,do not stop at only getting incoming links. Keep your outgoing links and incoming links in balance or it will be an unnatural flow of traffic at your site. Most of the time though this is not a problem because affiliate marketers are out-linking to affiliate programs anyways.

Blog commenting for backlinks seems to be a very popular method because it is a free method for getting backlinks from relevant sites. However, these types of links aren't very valuable either, especially on blog with the NoFollow attribute set on those sites. There is still some value to blog commenting for backlinks but if you analyze your return on investment on the time it takes to get these links versus the value of those efforts you'll see that this is a time-sucking effort that usually isn't worth your time.

Three way links or 3 way links are a hybrid of reciprocal links and one way links . These types of services are usually only good for getting links to low-competition keywords, key-phrases, and niche topics. Nonetheless, you can add about 50 sites to these networks and get backlinks to all your sites automatically with 3 way links services. This is a pretty good deal for webmasters with a portfolio of mini-sites for low competition terms. Most 3 way link building services require you link out to other sites in order to get links. These are non-reciprocal from other sites in the 3 way linkbuilding service's network. If the network is full of quality sites, then there is decent value to this automated link building. Watch though because in most cases, you lose all your links if you cancel your membership.

Many SEO bloggers claim that these types of links are ineffective and they are 100% wrong! Footer links are links at the bottom of sites that link to other sites. Footer links at the bottom of blogs often link to the site that made the freeWordPress theme. Many of those WordPress theme sites attain high Page Rank in very little time.WordPress plugins work the same way. One marketer uses his links in the footer of the Master Resell Rights Websites he sells Each andevery one of those sites and sales pages that people link to his main site. Now you know how he got to be on page 2 for the term "make money online". Enough said. Footer links work well when people do not change them. Just pay attention to the links on your own site.

I think that paid links are an extreme waste of money. Paid links are links that you pay for in order to get some high Page Rank and relevant links back to your site for your chosen keywords. They are usually very costly. Worse yet, they are not permanent. They only last as long as your membership fees with that company is paying for those links. A far better idea is to pay a lesser fee each month for a linkbuilding service like Unique Article Wizard because they deliver quality and permanent one way links in quantity.

1WayLinks - Review of Jonathan Leger's 1WayLinks.net

By Daniel McGonagle

The 1WayLinks program uses WordPress blogs. This is a review of  Jonathan Leger's 1WayLinks automated backlinking service.  Members can post up to 750 backlinks per month. It is  affordable. The questions remain: Is it powerful? Is it useful?

Designed by Jonathan Leger, 1waylinks is a relatively new  program on the scene of automated backlinking services. By  applying the technology of WordPress blogs members can use up to  750 one-way backlinks to their sites each month. There are more  than 1000 blogs in this well monitored network.

The way it works is really quite simple, a lot of people wish  they had thought of it too. As a member, you write an article  with up to 3 of your chosen links and keywords and submit it to  the program. Your article is posted then on the blogs of other  members. The links are active and, of course, point back to your  chosen site - backlinks. You decide how many articles you will  write each month and can spread them throughout the month or  write them all at once. It does not make much sense to write  only one article when you can avoid duplicate content by writing  more than one.

There are some limitations. It only works with WordPress blogs  which you host and set up to meet the system requirements. As  one person said, 'you must host to post'. However, there is no  requirement for which hosting company you choose.

I made my choice as a Beta tester to set up a separate blog that  I only use for this purpose. I was concerned about potentially  irrelevant material on my main blog. As it happens, the content  is widely varied but carefully monitored to prevent spam, or  offensive material of any kind. Lively discussions in the forum  have clarified what constitutes potentially offensive material  among the members.

This domain that you purchased just for this donor blog could be  considered a drawback to 1WayLinks. Not because you spent the  small amount of money for the domain that you don't really  "need", but because you know the other members will also be  using these donor or surplus content blogs, the perceived value  of the blogs could be diminished.

* Who is going to read this material?
* How will it get indexed?
* And who will care?
* How can it help you?
* Will the links ever get counted?
* Why write "junk" content that no one will see?

Those were some of my concerns. However, the fact is that with a  good ping list you can get your WordPress site indexed quite  easily and your links will be counted. Using donor blogs with  low page ranks might still be a drawback to the long range  effectiveness of 1Waylinks.net. Having more incoming than  outgoing links is not rated highly by most search engines. These  blogs are specifically designed to have a lot of incoming links.

What is remarkable is the articles. For people who are writing  specifically to get links to an unknown audience, expecting no  one to even find the blog or read the article, these blogs have  had a wide variety of interesting, though sometimes unusual  content. Apparently these bloggers do not like to write junk  links. I have actually had people compliment me on the diversity  of content on my blog! In addition, more than 10% of these  unknown readers have made the blog a favorite of theirs. My  donor blog has hundreds of visitors each month and I have done  nothing to promote it.

What is more important, the sites I am promoting in my articles  are indeed moving up in their search engine rankings. That is  enough for me to say 1WayLinks is a program with more merit than  it might seem to have at first glance. It is useful and  affordable though there are other backlink services with more  powerful links. If your goal is lots of links rather than  specific high ranking links then the services available from the  program at 1Waylinks.net may be just what you need for your  business.

Camels Feet or Mules Feet? Which are best for your business?

I used to wonder why there are camels in the deserts of Africa and the Middle East but not in the deserts of the American South Western Deserts.

Then I saw them in ACTION in Death Valley. The poor beasts.  They had no trouble with water but their feet are designed for long distance travel IN SANDY SOIL.  The surface of Death Valley is sandy in a few places but mostly it is SALT -yes -SALT or gravel called "desert pavement."

The native animals either travel at night or have hooves and live in higher elevations, like deer and bighorn sheep. The camel has thick pads on the soles of its feet and rocks and salt can irritate them the same way they can irritate the pads on a dog or cat's feet, after a while.

When I saw these camels they had already traveled hundreds of miles across salty, rocky, and occasionally sandy soil. These animals had good humans taking care of them but even the modern day people were distressed to learn how hard the Death Valley terrain was on the camels.

Yes, Camels have hooves but with thick leathery pads designed for sandy soil. And their feet are bigger than you imagine.
So when I think of camels today and the special care they needed in the deserts of the American South West, I am reminded, these creatures are suited for other conditions and circumstances.

Similarly, some of the tools we use in business online are better suited for one business or task than another.  Think it through first. What is the tool or program designed to do? Are you using it to your best ability to make the most of the tool's capacity? Or are you using camel's feet to do the job of a mule's foot?  Use the right tool or the correct animal to do the job.You will suffer less and so will the camel if you choose wisely.

All backlinks are not created equal. Remember that. Neither are all feet.

Take some time and write short articles with appropriate links back to your site. Then submit them to article directories. Be careful of duplicate content. Avoid it. That is one of the simplest forms of one way back links you can build to last.

BackLink City 1

Pause for a definition. 
An example of a backlink is one of those words in an article that is bold or underlined that takes you to another page or site when you click on it. 
  • It is designed to take you to another place of the author’s choosing.
  • Perhaps it offers more information or descriptions.
  • Perhaps it takes you to a sales page or an invitation to become a part of that author’s mailing list.
  • Sometimes it is simply an illustration of the point the author is making. 

    The important thing is the author has chosen to insert that link because it is something of value for you. It is also valuable for the author.  Just like the banner ads in this blog.
