Get More Website Traffic With Manual Link Building

Brad Wilson — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:08:43 +0000

What is Manual Link Building and Who Uses It?Manual Link Building is a the method of gaining incoming links by going to a search engine (search engines) and requesting various sites to link to yours. Many people believe that the best way to get links is to hire a service that does all of the grunt work for you. After all, building links is patience-testing and tedious. But others believe that there is still a place for manual link building in the small business world. Manual link-building is becoming less and less frequently used in business but it remains to be one of the the most inexpensive and effective ways for small businesses to rank well in the search engines. And it works especially well for local-specific businesses. Most would agree that it wouldn’t be the smartest move for small shops and local businesses to spend months (or years) publishing articles and participating in social networking until they start to get enough of their content linked to in order to improve their search engine rankings. Even if they do offer great content, this does not mean they will be linked to. This is especially true for the types of businesses who don’t really need to do business over the Internet. They still need to be found on the Internet, however. If you run a small business or you are doing SEO for a small business, keep in mind that it is okay to find some local directories and manually request some links. Of course, those few top paid directories like Yahoo, BOTW, and Business.com, are the ones that Google especially admires so it can’t hurt to request help from them as well. You can especially win out if you don’t have much competition. Just a well-optimized website and a few quality incoming links could easily get you on the first page of any of the major search engines. Another reason you might want to go with manual directory submission (even if you aren’t a small, local business) is because the most respected and reputable directories have their own custom application script which means you must submit to them manually. Automated tools simply cannot fill in those unique forms. So directory submission services that use automatic tools to submit usually end up submitting to lower quality directories that won’t really do anything to improve the ranking of your site. While automatic submission tools can fill in the forms on certain submit pages, they don’t always fill in the date properly so the submission may be incomplete. But it’s not uncommon in a situation like this that the report you receive says your submission went through when in reality it didn’t. If the category is not identified correctly, a service will fail to submit as well. These are just a few reasons you want to steer clear of submission services that use automated tools. You can, however, opt for submission services that do the manual link building for you, without using automatic tools.

How to Stumble Over Free Website Traffic

Brad Wilson — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 06:46:06 +0000

While Pay Per Click (or PPC) is a great way to get traffic quickly to your website, as its name suggests, you have to PAY for it. However, there are many ways to get free traffic to your site, and one of them is by using the Social Networking sites. One of the best StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is the combination of a great website and a small piece of software, which is designed to help you find websites that will most likely be of interest to you. It does this in two ways. Once you have signed up to be a ‘stumbler’ (which is free) you will be asked to complete a two-minute questionnaire so that the software (which you will install into your toolbar) knows what things you are interested in learning more about. This is the first way that it works. The second way it works is by having other “stumblers” rate each website that they discover. When they find a site that they like, they use the downloadable tool to give the site a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Literally, there are two small buttons, one showing a thumbs-up and the other a thumbs-down. Whenever you find a site that you like (or dislike) you click one of the buttons and this will open a new window where you can make a comment about why you like the site. You can also click the ‘stumble’ button, which will present you with a new website; the site will be related to the topics that you told the software you were interested in. Which sites will be presented? Well, they’re not totally random. They are in a hierarchical list and the ones towards the top of the list are presented to you first. This begs the question, how does a website make its way to the top of that particular list? Simple, it does this because other stumblers have given that site more thumbs-ups than the other websites! There are separate tools for either Firefox or Internet Explorer, so depending on which web-browser you use will determine which piece of software you install onto your toolbar. You can find this free software just by using your search-engine and typing the word StumbleUpon. But how does this help you get more traffic? As an internet marketer or you just have a website you want to promote, you can use this tool to make YOUR website found by other “stumblers”, that is, anybody else who is using the StumbleUpon software. You see, you can also rank your OWN site in StumbleUpon. However, you must be cautious when doing this. You can’t just thumbs-up your own sites all the time; if you do this, you’ll be banned by the StumbleUpon team very quickly. The way it works is very simple; however, you need to study how to use StumbleUpon properly. If you don’t, you either won’t get the traffic you want, or your account will be closed for good. Of course, you CAN open another account with a different username etc. but I recommend that you study first and get is right from the outset. There are FREE lessons available at the link below, entitled ‘Traffic Rush’. These free lessons will give you a good understanding of how to use StumbleUpon to create free traffic to your site. Without traffic, you simply don’t have a business.

Is Too Much Website Flash Costing You Website Cash

Brad Wilson — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:06:53 +0000

We are developing into a civilization where aesthetics are being favored over functionality. Where it is not about how a product works and its features but rather how it looks and portrays us. Take Samsungs Armani Phone. Sure it looks great, it is small and compact and oozes of designer elegance. However compared to other mobile phones on the market its functionalist is poor. Its menu can be slow, it can be a pain to type a text message with and viewing pictures can take an age. If there is an example to prove that we are more obsessed with style than substance then the Samsung Armani is the perfect example.Unfortunately this aspect of our culture is not just confined to mobile phones. It extends into the business world too, namely in the form of websites. With technology advancing at a rapid rate the features that we can incorporate into our websites are seemingly limitless flash, videos, pop ups, the list goes on and on. You need to ask yourself at what price is your aesthetically pleasing website coming at? Possibly in your declining or lack of online sales!Aspects of a website can be broken down into two categories: long-term and short-term. Short-term aspects include design, layout, and aesthetics.

By putting it in the short term category we are merely saying that people will only perceive the aesthetical attributes of a website as a short-term appeal. In the long-term, functionality is much more important. Look at Google for example. Its design and layout is fairly basic. However it provides are service , or services, that ensure that millions of Internet users use it every day. Google utilizes the concept that how your site works is more important than how it looks and they use this to great effect. Again this is not to say that you should have a shoddy, hurriedly and quickly thrown together design. This again would be to misunderstand the point entirely, but what we are saying is that you need a good balance. Essentially with the weight tipping slightly to functionality, but not coming too much at the expense of design.Where do you start? For new users this can be a daunting task. When they think of website design they see line upon line of endless HTML and code, however website design development has come a long way from this. If you are new to the website scene or, if you are a hardened veteran, then there are numerous resources available on the internet to help you. Obtaining a free report called “25 Great Tips To Building High Converting Websites” would be a very good place to start. It provides an insight into how a website can be both aesthetically pleasing and yet highly functional.
