Backlinks


I am sure you already know what backlinks are. But for those of you that don`t here is an explanation: backlinks are incoming links to your website. The number of backlinks pointing to your website is very important as it is connected to your page rank. They can determine the importance and popularity of your website. Synonyms for backlinks are incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links.

So how do you obtain backlinks to your site?

1.Reciprocal linking

Search for  sites that have similar content to yours and ask for a reciprocal link. You link to them and they link to you.

2. Forum signatures

Sign up for forums related to your content (if you own a golf site, sign up for a forum where golfers hang out). Every time you post on the forum, use your signature that is a direct link to your website. DO NOT SPAM members. Just participate in conversations with your signature link at the bottom. This is also very targeted traffic to your site.

3. Blog comments

Same as Forums. But as I said before, be sure not to spam. Your comments should always be relevant to the post.

4. Link exchange directories

Submit your website to reciprocal link exchange directories, in order to achieve higher rankings in search engines.

I receive lots of comments to my blog from pople who are here only to spam. Lately I started to edit their comments and remove their signatures as they lead to sites totally unrelated to Swomnet. I will continue with this practice in the future. The only signature links I will keep are those relevant to my site. One of the reasons for doing  that is a changed Google policy regarding spam. If your site has a lot of outgoing links not related to your page content, Google will drop your page rank as they assume your website to be a link farm/content farm.

Also, for all of you having mini-sites (sites with only 5-6 pages, built only to make affiliate sales or AdSense profit), Google is drastically dropping their rank lately. The reason for doing this is to improve search results.

As it appears, lots of people have complained to Google about mini sites that have a #1 rank in Google, but very poor quality content, so Google has decided to put a stop to that.

With that in mind, I suggest you concentrate on the quality of your site. It will take time but it will pay off.  The Rome wasn`t built in one day, but it is still there, attracting more and more people every day…..Keep that in mind.

My Daily Routine Online


What is your daily routine when it comes to working online?  How much time do you spend actually working vs. “playing”? I lost a lot of time online before I made a step by step plan, a daily working routine for myself.  So here is what I do each day:

First I check my e-mail and my traffic/sales statistics. I usually advertise my landing page, or my blog – I don`t want to waste my time  building someone else`s  list. For Swom I used their landing page as it converted very well. I use FREE VIRAL TRAFFIC BAR links ALWAYS as they give me 3 times the hits (as I already mentioned).  Then I decide where will I advertise for a day (aside from safelists) -  I am changing my traffic sources each day. Depending on where I advertise I write either an article, blog, classified or an ad. I usually paste the same article or safelist e-mail in 2 separate notepads. One is a plain text and the other is a HTML code. Both of them are opened at the same time on my desktop and both of them are already selected (the text inside is selected) so all I have to do is copy the text and paste it to wherever I am advertising (ctrl+c , ctrl+v).  I open my Online Traffic Bible and I start posting. I post to at least 200 places/day.

Next thing I do is I Login to Swom. I check the posts, I reply to some and I interact with people for a while. Then I add about 100 connections (I request 100 connections)/day. I post to free Swommers and encourage them to UPGRADE.

I check my Twitter account, if I have something to say I tweet for a while….  Afterwords I write a blog (not every day,lol) – I have 3 blogs at this time so it would  really be too much for me to write on all 3 every day. Occasionally I send an e-mail to my opt in list and that is it for a day. Then I have fun:  I research new traffic sources, I sign up for free things and test them, I read e-books about online marketing, I watch marketing courses….play on Facebook… Swom.

Recently we decided to make Online Traffic Bible as a referral program so I am very busy at the moment with that. I look forward to it and I can`t wait for it to be ready….so I can get back to my daily routine,lol.  For all of you who have purchased it, we will give you a free pass, so don`t worry, you will be able to market it and make money off of it. We have a great pay plan for you!!!!
