Now, we need to consider what is the link popularity for your website(s). It’s imperative to know what are these, so that you will not get confused and the meaning do not become misconceptions.

Link popularity is basically the links pointing to your webpage/websites/domains. So, it is basically called backlinks (the links you received back). For example, I would recommend CNN.com on my website and when search engine bots/spiders crawl my page, they will also note that CNN.com will get one more backlinks from my site, confirming I trust this particular URL to be linked with. Link popularity also determines Page Rank for Google as well.

Like in mid 90s search engine world, it was pretty simple, the total backlinks will give you basically higher search results, but nowadays, all big three (Google, Yahoo!, MSN Live) are well-aware and well-constructed  conditions and variables to determine the link popularity in proper manners so that people who take advantages of buying links and submitting to directories compared to those who did not will be adjusted.

Speaking of  Link Popularity, you need to think about your link relevancy, because spiders will also calculate the relevancy of your website and the backlinks to certain level, for example, In this website, I talk about SEO, wordpress, search engines, blogging. Therefore, if I link to websites about SEO, wordpress, etc, those people who received backlinks from my website will get better Page Rank as well as high relevancy. (which is why I allow do-follow commenting on my site, which is massive advantages to those who leave comments on my site especially in same topics/niches.)

Nowadays, search engines do not rely on link popularity alone, however still play a huge role. So, if you have higher link popularity, you have to build quality backlinks which is what many people are seriously building for Google PR. The easiest way to build is to make people known about your website and do not worry so much about search engines’ spiders. Like I have mentioned before, you need to build for massive traffic and let search engine love you.

Recently, I have installed do-follow enabled comment plugin on my sites and It works like a charm. As you may all have known wordpress and most of the blogs have disabled in default, however, if you can control your spam, there’s actually better way you can take control of do-follow links.

So, i installed this fantastic do-follow plugin for my wordpress and I have actually received more comments than before just in a few couple of days. That is awesome, isn’t it?

do-follow

What are the advantages of do-follow?

Of course, there are bunch of advantages for do-follow sites, I will summarize for both myself and the rest of my visitors.

1. Default settings are always on a safe side. Once you enabled do-follow link there’s imminent threat of spamming. LOL, all you need to have a a couple of top rated spam filters such as Akismet and so on. On the bright side, it’s massive traffic. There’s always an opportunity cost for higher traffic, that comes with higher spams.

2. Repeating comments, there are two ways to follow up repeating comments, one to reply each visitor comment, and another one from visitor’s reply. Confused? Bottom line, your blog post may earn more than 2 comments from each entry because many people will comment you genuinely, on the other hand, if your visitors are clever enough, they make sure they write more than 1 comment at your blog, or reply to the same comment so that the search engine bots will read them more than once.

3. Don’t worry about PR/Alexa, they are alternative ways to benchmark your site, especially I don’t believe in Alexa ranking. I would trade more traffic than getting better PR/Alexa ranking. That’s the truth. Do-follow blogs are actually giving legit backlinks to your commentors, but don’t worry, you get heaps of traffic and your ranking will grow because It just does it.

4. Encouraging your readers to comment is best thing for bloggers. You allow backlinks, you encourage your readers that you are giving something back , rather than expecting something, that builds a great relationship to your readers as well.

5. By sharing about do-follow to those who do not know, you take control of knowledge that your visitors/readers do not know yet. It is a good opportunity your readers are bloggers and this will also help them to get backlinks which bloggers indeed love.  The more you can help a hand, the smarter you sound, don’t you?

6. Since I have carefully built my site around big search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN , ask.com , etc etc. I have very confident that every single page of mine is properly pinged and quickly indexed. Make sure you use sitemap xml and site verifications with Google, Yahoo! and MSN to get faster search engine updates. Easy Breezy method for organic search.

7. It creates a larger community. Why? Because you have no-follow blog before, now you enabled do-follow site, that’s where you have massive members and visitors to make a geniune comments and in return they get backlinks for their PR or more traffic, it’s a win-win situation and you also get to know your readers. Spam filters will actually differentiate your readers and just those people who want backlinks and etc.

8. The quality backlinks are important and half the time, many people do not understand what they mean. It depends on the place where you put your comments as well as your niche. If you are car-sales category and make a comment on this infomm.com website, you are not getting quality backlinks, that’s for 100% sure. Maybe, a legit backlinks. You need to find similar niche for your site, so that you leave comment accordingly.

9. Okay, #9 is NONE , just start doing what I have mentioned above. You will see the difference. Now, start getting quality backlinks by leaving comment on this post.

Previously, I have posted about viral marketing for online advertising. Now, I want to share a little bit further more about viral marketing and why should we use it in order to drive massive traffic to our websites.

So, cut to the chase, WHY do we use viral marketing techniques?

1. quick to drive traffic (once it’s starting to spread, there’s basically no limit, the message will pick up the speed faster and to the bigger audience)
2. cost effective (once again, no limit, easy to start and cheap to expect the traffic, make sure your site has some to offer for your visitors to become regular)
3. niche gathering (you will eventually find where your niche is headed and your target audience in no time as long as you offer unique content that are original, photographer offers photoblog whereas geek-blog offers all technology news)

Bottom Line, traffic means money, relevant niche means more money, cost effective mean more money. So, what else shall I say?

viral marketing

So, this comes the question, WHAT are the techniques?

1. I am going to repeat this again, provide quality content, products or services. (provide something which is unique for your visitors)
2. Give something away (I would recommend gmail service to my friends because they basically gave away free service for e-mail, don’t they? you gotta offer something so that will create buzz).
3. Recommendation or referral on your site. (something like share this post, email to a friend, etc etc, that will create more buzz because I would really recommend to my friend if a particular website offer something nice)
4. Have some video clips, or free e-book to give away or have a personal blog about your interest on the site (that will also give some kind of expose to your visitors and yes it does really attract traffic)
5. Social bookmarking icons and links (They are basically helping you to bookmark or submit to the sites, either way, they are good for traffic, easy for search engine to index, my personal favorites regarding SEO are reddit, technorati and digg)
6. Use RSS feed or any sort of Feed (Some of my audience like RSS feed because they are firefox fans, some of them love email feed as well, so feedburner or similar service sites can offer, I use feedburner of course, you can set up either RSS feed or email subscription)
7. Do what others do not generally offer (It’s very simple but sometimes it is easily overlooked in many cases, for example, I enabled “do-follow” plugin in my wordpress, which default is “no-follow” for commenters, so I would get more visitors who will want to have do-follow link on my site and will write more comments as well.
8. Run on-site competitions (Many internet gurus are still using this method, and that’s how they get massive traffic and regular visitors)
9. Build a community and relationship with your visitors (Communication is the key to success, if you interact with your visitors, you will build the better relationship between you and your visitors that is very good for long term)

Ok, There are main 9 methods I have tested and experimented in the past and they have created impressive traffic for me.

So, start right now because what I have suggested will cost next to nothing. You can basically start with no-investment methods such as adding referal scripts, RSS setup, email subscriptions and some fabulous content first.

Thanks for reading. Now, I will go back to build my viral marketing for another site

Lately, I have thought about leaving comments versus link referrals. They both generate traffic of course. However, they generate traffic differently and now I am beginning to like leaving comments method more. Many internet gurus and marketing aces would tell you to leave comment or link refer. However, there is more techniques than just leaving silly comments or joining random link referral systems.

For linke referrals, I mainly use LinkReferral System, which is really good. They advertise themselves on google and they have over 200,000 users who are exchanging links. So, it’s very cool one.. However, as I love to comment on blogs and read around, Last week, I tried to read more than write on my blog. I was reading and commenting randomly and to my surprise, I got over 100 unique visitors who are actually coming back to my blog, read and some left quite a number of comments back.Then it reminds me of two ways communications. Now, I have decided, i will not flood my site with everyday posts. I will rather create one useful post a week, but I will also try to learn what others wrote and thought about creating wealth online without tricks.

Link Referral

So, my conclusion is, Link referring is good, but most program would offer auto-surf solution and pretty poor implementation, so we just get more bounce visitors. Whereas, the job of leaving comments is just simple and effective, yet you can also learn what others write about your niche as well. How do I easily find related keywords easily? It’s even easier when you have subscribe to certain keywords in Google Alerts, you will be able to get and filter blogs only and also can set it in Google iPersonalized page. And usually, only good page rank sites will show up because they are correctly indexed in Google as well. The most important thing about leaving comment is, you really read and leave the comment in most honest way, not to spam or just leave the comment to get backlinks to your site. You learn new everyday and if you give a few minutes of your time, I am sure you will learn more everyday.

Of course, getting traffic is massive for me and I care about who comments my blog and I also comment with all my heart. So, hope you can generate massive traffic with properly commentings on fellow bloggers.

Lately, I am very intrigued by the fact that social bookmarking is beginning to hit as a big topic. Granted, it has helped a lot of traffic to numerous websites as well. To be honest, I actually installed social bookmarking plug-ins last month and I was hoping it could generate fair share of traffic to my site. In fact, I come to realise that it is actually bigger than you expected.

(Courtesy of youtube and leelefever), here you can have a basic idea about social bookmarking. And yes, leelefever has several fantastic video clips that you can take a look. It is very educational and fun to watch.

What is Social Bookmarking?

It is basically enabling Internet users to manage, view, store their bookmarks online. There are several social bookmarking websites available and I used some of them. These websites allow you to add your particular page or article, so that it will somehow reach to public easier as there are many people sharing their posts and articles on these social bookmarking sites.

Advantages

• your web page got indexed easier. 
• draw major attention from several sites and finally pointing back to yours
• potentially building the backlinks without tricks
• can also rank a page on how many people have online bookmarked therefore, creating extra credit for your web page/blog
• easy to share among Internet surfers

After I have made a couple of posts, they will definitely be linked to sites such as stumble upon, facebook, digg, live and slashdot. So, here are the lists of social bookmarking sites. If you are using wordpress, don’t forget to install sociable plug-ins, so that you can create more traffic by promoting your own and of course your readers will love to bookmark some of the posts that are useful to them.

Social Bookmarking Sites Index

Please download the socialbookmarking PDF file (source: socialmarker 2008), and you can actually see the each website after you click on their links. But I prefer you have a social plug-ins, so that you can select more over 50 social bookmarking sites and submit your posts and articles easily. Moreover, any fan of yours can easily add your post as their favourite with just one click.

Search Engines are clever and sophisticated. Let’s say the Big 3, they are pretty smart and powerful. Search engines are written by a bunch of super geeks and they have several techniques to index your site, not only the text based display.

I have recently written an article about Google’s technology. As soon as opportunity arises, I will also discuss about alexa, msn live and yahoo in the future. 

There are millions of web pages that will not show up in the search engines, because they are being discounted from search engines especially Google search. WHY????? Because they are not having unique contents in the web. Some people like to copy and paste the materials around the world and it will finally come to haunt them in the future because search engines determine which websites are displaying duplicate contents, there are no sense of worry about who started it, but definitely if your website is always publishing original contents, that means you will not be in the same category as “duplicate contents/news feeders” list. 

Being using a unique content, your website will be recognized as well. For more information about duplicate contents, please read the article from Bill Slawski’s article from SEO by the SEA, “Duplicate content issues and Search Engines“. 

Conclusion: Make your site/blog to be differentiated from other duplicate content websites, that’s the first step of making you more legitimate in search engines world.

Well, this is where all the inbound links matter. It’s very important to link back to your old post according to your relevancy of your current post, so that you will provide your reader/visitor to your website/blog with more information.

I usually link back to my previous posts because I want my readers to have clearer vision of the message I want to give and more information on the subject that should be delivered. Nowadays, readers are very smart, you cannot just sell your products and ads on your page by using some RSS feeds or copy/paste materials, you may be able to do that once, but you cannot do to the same person again. That’s your loss forever and I will not make that happen. 

So, there are two simple ways to link back to old posts. First, put it in the sentence, for example, 

if you want to get more traffic, you should join this fantastic link exchange program, in fact, I am actually a member there. So, you can join me and get more free 30 or more unique visitors a day. The exchange program offers link exchange members to view in directory, so it is more or less, targeted audience as well.

And As a second example, 

Just simply add related topics under your post. Please, See Below at the end of the post.

Therefore, you can offer more comprehensive information to your readers and they will feel that you are actually offering them a FREE and guided facts, in fact, you actually are. It is quite easy to earn poor perception towards your website from visitors, but it is actually great to be appreciated when your readers/visitors enjoy your sharing. 

My main motto is stay true to your readers, slowly build the relationships, share the true information, just pick up your niche and category of passion you want to focus. You will surely succeed.

Webmasters use these words very often, search engines and PageRank. They are the sources of income. In fact, because the more links you are exposed and linked to, the bigger chance of getting more traffic, that will eventually bring possible visitors to become your customers. 

Therefore, Link building becomes one of the excessive used terms among webmasters and SEO experts. As I have explained about how Google and its technology regarding page rank system and hypertext analysis, It is important to build links around your blog/site. I  have submitted to several search engines, you can see major search engines and directory list to submit on the above link. So, that kind of link building is easy to implement. Make sure you have done the same for your website too.

It is important to build quality links and how can you decide what are the quality links? It’s the key of the link building, if you submit at low PR ranking sites and not usually updated sites, it is waste of your time to submit your link. Some blogs are dead and you comment on their sites with your URL, that’s another waste of time.

However, I encourage you to comment on quality blogs (you need to make sure they are not copy/paste, scams, pushing you to click their affiliates or ads and etc). I have made some comments on some quality blogs, I have already saw my sites as back-links because great blogs actually update regularly, keep in touch with readers and utilize SEO properly. So, when I check my links associations, I can easily find out whose sites have quality links and regular updates. So, comment on quality blogs in such a great manner and proper way. Commenting others is not to judge for what they have written, but to understand what the message is all about and contribute your suggestions regarding to the original article. 

Don’t just put your URL and write “visit my site” or “nice one”, if you do not mean it read it, I do not think search engines will not value your input on particular page because you do not really mean it too. Remember, search engines use millions of conditions to index a particular web-page, if you don’t mean it, they won’t feel it too.  Most importantly, discuss in the blogs related to your website you are linking. For example, if you have a “fashion online shop” and if you are writing unrelated comments at “online gamers” site, search engines may not index your site as a qualified back-links. 

So, back to my topic, it’s always good to link to others. And let others link back to you, whatever your site and niche may be, it has to be consistent, regularly updated and keeping the communications alive with your readers/visitors/members.

Also I always allow ping service to my wordpress blog. So, if you are using wordpress like me, when you do the link reference, your website link will be already added. This is one of the powerful features that I have enabled in my blog. So, just feel free to link to my site as a reference, your site link will also be published, as I am always improving my site with search engines, your site will also be counted as a back-link. Because I always do the same when I reference someone else links. It is a win-win situation and very ethical way to link up to one another. And that’s the way google, yahoo! and MSN live bots index the links too. My techniques are simple and no tricks required. But it will also prevent you to get banned from major search engines. 

But please bare in mind, when you write something for your readers, Write for readers, don’t write for google, yahoo or msn, but always comply with what search engines want. Word of Mouth is indeed a powerful thing. That includes people volunterily linking your site and you will get more exposure.  Just remember to give something useful and nice to your visitors/readers. There is always reward for your great hard-work.

When it comes to search engines, top 3 search engines always come to our mind. Of course, they are Google, Yahoo and MSN Search. So, the Internet search world become very common from these 3 search engines. And it’s very important that your website is indexed to those big 3. Some may argue that ask.com is equally important.

Yes, you could say so.. If you believe google, yahoo, msn and ask.com are your main search engines.. This wordpress plug-in will just solve all your problems all at once. Because thse XML compliant site maps will create, update, modify and send update request to google, yahoo, msn and ask.com as soon as you have composed your article/post. 

All the credit goes to Arne Brachhold, who is a creator of this plug-in.  You can download the XML Sitemaps plug-in here. To quote what Mr. ARne Brachhold’s installation instructions, the list can be seen as below. Most important thing is, when you do the ftp, please make sure you use the program that can do “change mode” functions. Some ftp do not offer “chmod” commands for security reasons. I will use the direct reference from original page, so that your installation will go smoother.

Upload the full directory into your wp-content/plugins directory

Use your favorite FTP program to create two files in your WordPress directory (that’s where the wp-config.php is) named sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz and make them writable via CHMOD 666. More information about CHMOD and how to make files writable is available at the WordPress Codex and on stadtaus.com. Making your whole blog directory writable is NOT recommended anymore due to security reasons.

Activate the plugin at the plugin administration page

Open the plugin configuration page, which is located under Options -> XML-Sitemap and build the sitemap the first time. If you get a permission error, check the file permissions of the newly created files.

The plugin will automatically update your sitemap as soon as you publish a post. So, you have been successfully completed getting index in major search engines.

Search engines send spiders and crawlers to our blogs/websites to index in their search engines. Everyone knows that, but what everyone doesn’t know is the trick to keep your spiders and crawlers coming back and index your site/blog.

For all my readers, I will publish two methods for sitemap, one is manual sitemap which is actually feeding  the inbound links contents to spiders/crawlers all at once and another one is XML generator google sitemap, which i will publish in the future. 

Please bare in mind that, whatever I install or integrate in my InfoMM.com blog, I actually installed, experienced and compose these articles, so if you have any hurdles or issues with it, please comment here, so that I can learn and help new visitors better.

Ok, in wordpress, you can add several pages as your sub-section, and I use a manual sitemap as my additional page. The general nature of the web spiders and web crawlers will visit the page when you submitted, for example, http://infomm.com/sitemap/, it is my sitemap (actually I just list them alphabetically for visitors to sort under most related categories),

For spiders and crawlers,  they will visit the root (main) page and start gathering information and building the inbound/outbound links and their relevancy to the topic I am discussing about. Your absolutely unrelated links may be discounted whereas your relevant information will be added and ranked possibly higher in search results. 

So, my solution is simple, I just list all my articles under a single page, and I only submit the particular URL once, then, i will always be getting bots and spiders frequently to monitor my web-page activities. All you need is just add “One Article with its respective link”, and you are successfully complete with most of the search engines forever once you submitted one time. Your unnecessary web promotion time will be easily eliminated and you can allocate your valuable time on something else in order to create wealth or pleasure. 

Good? I think it is very effective and great webmasters actually recommend this. So, I shall say the same.

Any comments and suggestions? please feel free to write a comment or two….At least, spiders and web crawlers can also use your comments URL to index inbound links from mine..so, you will probably build your inbound links to your site and you can gain more in PageRank System

Making money online without tricks or scams come with basically THREE things. Traffic, Contents and Passion.  I sadly saw several sites fail one or two, sometimes all three factors to succeed. 

So, let’s discuss Traffic, that is one of the most important factors to generate income for your business. I have surveyed several sites and will share one of the most effective company for links exchange, Ads placements and referrals. All in one place.  So, let’s take a look at LinkReferral.com for review. 

LinkReferral

Link Exchange

It’s pretty simple solution, you visit some of the millions links listed there, some members will click you back as the same way you do, the more active you are, the bigger chance that your site will get traffic. Your activity will reflect your site hits (hence traffic, hence $$$). It will also calculate your site visibility to other members depending on how many websites you visit for them, how many websites you review for them, forum contribution once a day and one bookmark/favorite site add a day. That’s all and you will get at least 50 hits from the fellow members.. Simple? Yes.. Effective? Definitely. 

Referral

If you click on my referral and join the network, I will earn about $1, if you don’t want me to earn and join the network, join directly here. I will not trick you to earn $1, if you want to use my referral that’s fine. But be warned, they have two types of membership, if you become premium membership, pay a bit, but you earn more than regular FREE membership and you can receive money & advertise/promote your site/blog. So, it’s totally up to you.. For me, I use regular FREE membership, I don’t mind earning $1 from one referral, what I want most is to build up the trust between my readers/visitors and my published articles. Honestly, I want your comments more than $1 I may probably get, you can recommend me that this site is truly sharing the insight information, I will be stoked.  Details, please read here..

Ads Placement

You can choose to display their ads on your website, they will provide you all the necessary information to insert on your blog/website. And you get the cut from them depending on the. It’s that simple. But one thing to remember, do not mixed up and over-advertise on your website. For clicks example, if you have AdSense program already running from Google, You may not use AdBrite program very similar to Adsense program, AdSense program allows third party ads on your page, but do not annoy many ads and little contents on your page. It will make visitors go away.  But you need to become a premium member in order to do so if you are publisher, but if you are advertiser, you pay for what you place your ADs. The Ads Placement campaign is not very expensive and create quite a lot of traffic.  Either way, it is a good thing, because we all are working for traffic in the first place.

My Review

I finally decided to become a member with this site, because most importantly, you earn visitors, visitors are traffic/hits, alternatively, they are potential customers for your site. With abut half a million members there, Some said that you may not get target visitors to your site, but it’s not totally true in a sense that Linkreferral actually listed  website/blogs as a directory based. So, even if you are visiting other sites, you choose what category you want to spend time on it.  So, it’s actually categorized audience you will be getting. 

Moreover, as a promoter/advertiser, you can buy traffic at very cheap price as well.  So, take advantage of this program and get more traffic.

The Host

What’s the catch for them? They get more members, they get more traffic, at the same time, they display ads to us, they can also assign revenue sharing ad-placement on our sites. It’s win-win situation, they do the programming part, we do the hits/traffic part. Most important, they get advertisers by using pyramid referral system. 

Conclusion

If you want traffic, you can create one because it is human generated categorized traffic, so more or less, you will receive hits depending on your selected niche. Also, once you want to promote, you can easily promote your site as you are already a member. It’s win-win situation for both sides.
