One-way Links That Work Discussed

January 18th, 2012 Comments off

When looking to promote a website via link building it is essential to choose a form of link building that works – other wise you can end up wasting a whole heap of your time – and you know what they say – time is money. So which types of link building do work? Well in my humble opinion it is all about one way link building. But even here you need to be aware of the types of one way links that work.

For me you can not beat producing new content for the web – content that other webmasters (webmasters who perhaps don’t have the time to write their own original content) can upload to their websites or blog. So what can you gain from producing this article? Well you are able to include a link to your website within the content or at the bottom of the content which is your reward for your hard work.

The big thing that is very important to do is to re-write the article or hand spin it, prior to making it available to the webmasters. These webmasters are therefore much more happy to accept the article as they are less worried about any future duplicate content problems. It can take a lot of time to create these re-writes however the hard work is most certainly worth the effort.

This type of link building service is becoming more popular and is where you a hire a person or a company to not only write you a piece of compelling content but where the web marketing specialist also distributes it for you to obtain those essential one way backlinks.

This one stop shop for link building and web marketing is something that can take a lot of pressure off the busy businessman. To locate such a service, it is just a simple task of searching online for a web marketing expert and then to request a price for this type of work.

Memory Lane – List of SEO tools and sites that were of great help

February 23rd, 2010 Comments off

This post was inspired by revisiting some of the old tools I used in the past and I thought why not pay a visit to memory lane on some of the tools and sites that brought online marketing to where it is today.  Do note – this is just a small list of random tools that came to my mind at the point of writing, so I know there would be others that I missed out.

Keyword Research: GoodKeyword tool, this is a free keyword tool where one can conduct keyword research. The data is pulled of overture, but since overture is pretty much not maintained I guess the tool wouldn’t be that useful.

Competitor Analysis: Alexa ranking at one point in time was the only place where we could openly get competitor stats for free. The toolbar helped tracked user behavior and how many people visit a particular site. However as the data is skewed towards individual who had installed the toolbar many had question the accuracy of the rankings.

Site Indexing: In the past when launching a new site it used to take about months to get the search engine spiders to find your site. One of the tools Google came up with to help them be aware of which sites are new would be the Add URL page. Found here – www.google.com/addurl.html. These days Google can index your site in hours, so no need to manually submit your site anymore.

Search Engine Rankings: DMoz.org the webs open source directory. It was known as a source of authority, getting listed here means you have a very powerful inbound link to your site. Ran by volunteers, the site was the crazy for many webmasters and SEO professionals. These days, it’s more like a forgotten site where having a link is good to have.
