We all know backlinking is super important... links pointing to our sites are what will help pull them up in the search results for our targeted keyword... however, it's super easy to say backlinking's important... but when you're getting started it can be tough to know exactly what that means! Today I thought I'd talk about some of the regular questions I get about backlinking. 1. My backlinks aren't showing up, what gives?! My first question to you is going to be, "when do you do … [Read more...]

**note** This is a post I published early this year... however it is a great post that's been buried in the archives. Now is the time to get on top of your link building if you want to capitalize on the holiday shopping rush. It takes some time for your links to be found, and to boost your ranking, so get started now! Here's the post! I know, I've backed off on doing a ton of niche marketing, but I'm getting the feedback that my readers haven't. I'm also getting feedback from people … [Read more...]

Why Aren’t You Guest Posting?

May 18, 2011 By 7 Comments

I have had a couple requests to do guest posts on my blogs recently, some of the requests were great, others, not so great. It got me all revved up to write a post about guest posting. :) As I was going through my archives I realized I've already said a lot of what I was going to say today... so I decided to yank a couple posts out of the archives. (no sense repeating my long winded self lol). The Basics on Guest Posting: This post answers the basic questions, what is guest posting, why would … [Read more...]

Spinning Articles for Article Marketing

April 26, 2011 By 23 Comments

Before we get started, let me just say that I'm NOT trying to get into a big argument about the merits of spinning articles. I know both sides of the story, and I'm not trying to get into that conversation here. If I start getting a bunch of comments about how evil spinning is I just won't publish them. What I am doing here is trying to give people a visual lesson in how to spin an article. It can be very confusing, even to me. I haven't been spinning articles for all that long. I only do the … [Read more...]

Backlinking 101 is Live… How it Happened

March 1, 2011 By 24 Comments

I just went back and looked... I bought the domain backlinking101.com way back in May of last year. I had people asking me to create a product that would help them really do backlinking, that was easy to understand and they could actually follow. I thought about it. I started a mailing list for it. I added that opt in box to my how to create backlinks squidoo lens. And then I left it. I was feeling a little burned out. Didn't know exactly what I wanted to do for the product. Got excited … [Read more...]

Commentluv and Keywordluv: What the heck are they?

commentluv

In a recent post I wrote about blog commenting there seemed to be a lot of confusion around how to use commentluv and keywordluv,  so I thought I'd take a post and explain what they are, and how best to use them, both on your site, and in your business. Commentluv and Keywordluv are both wordpress plugins. They are plugins that create links to your site when you comment on someone's blog who has them installed. Keywordluv creates a link to your site that uses your anchor text in the name … [Read more...]

Google Is Punishing Me for Building Links!

February 8, 2011 By 33 Comments

Yesterday I received a comment where a reader has been taking action and it seems Google is punishing him for this action. He's really frustrated. His is not the only comment I've gotten like this. In fact, I get this type of question, comment, email pretty regularly so I thought I'd take some time today to answer his comment in a post. Hi Jackie, Well it looks like I got another page pushed back from page 3 to 284. This is a page from my moneysite I have been spending a lot of time and … [Read more...]

5 Rules to Make The Most of Blog Comments

February 1, 2011 By 47 Comments

Let's talk a little bit about blog commenting. The question has come up in the Link Sun post a couple times, but more than coming from you, this topic is coming from me, as a blog owner. Blog commenting is a good way to get links and get to know other people in your niche, and let them get to know you. This will never change. Blog commenting is also a great way to waste your time when no one publishes your comments because of the way you're going about it. It is interesting to see … [Read more...]

3 Questions I Ask Myself Before I Buy Internet Marketing Products

August 18, 2010 By 53 Comments

I recently subscribed to Traffic Bug. I told my Squidoo readers about it yesterday and received a comment that there was a huge thread on the warrior forum that said it sucked and didn't do anything. Not surprising. The comment and the warrior thread. :) I don't buy too many things anymore, but there are times I pull out my wallet. I want to share with you what goes through my head before I plunk down my debit card. 1.  Is this something that will assist me with what I'm currently … [Read more...]

Creating Link Opportunities

July 28, 2010 By 31 Comments

If you're building a niche blog/site,  link building is just part of the process.  In fact, it's a HUGE part of the process, it's the part of the process that if you skip the whole thing doesn't work. It doesn't matter if you've written content worthy of  a Pulitzer Prize ~ if you don't build links you will not get ranked in Google which means you won't get free traffic from them. I've spoken extensively on link building, and hopefully you know how important it is.  These are the tasks … [Read more...]
