Why is link building so essential? Well for starters your backlinks can send you loads of free traffic directly from the major search engines to your web pages.

Also, using blog commenting you can get a load of traffic as well, from both blog owners and their readers. Again this is a free method for drawing target traffic to your sites.

One-Way-Linking Vs Reciprocal Linking

Today it’s all about getting one way links to your pages as search engines have caught on to reciprocal linking as a ‘You scratch my back and I’ll scratch your’s‘ method of linking and really holds no value today.

When you are getting listing in search engines it’s good to know that most people using search engines don’t search much past the first page of search results, so it’s important to get listed on that first page and that’s where one way links can come in very handy.

Personally I have gotten into link wheels since the fall of reciprocal linking and that’s working wonders for my ranking. I have also seen it work for sites that use very poor quality articles written by non-english people, yet it still works to increase their page rank and to move them up in the SERPs.

Spending Money To Get One Way Links, Yes or No?

I don’t spend money on back linking as it’s pretty easy to get started with one way linking. I have paid for courses that taught me how to generate link wheels that boost my site’s in the search engines and make me more money.

I also use guest blogging to get one way links from sites with page rank, without paying for them. It takes a bit of searching but is part of my normal business day.

I even use software that helps me create link wheels that increase my bottom line.

Three Way Linking Can Work Too

I do a lot of one way linking but I also get a lot of requests for swapping links. I always reply that I don’t do reciprocal linking any more but I offer them three way linking if they have more than one related site.

That works great and every body’s happy.

Back links are classifed based on where the come from. A high PR site is always better, even if it’s not relevant to your site. Although relevancy is always better in the long run.

Buying Backlinks

Lots of people resort to purchasing high pagerank links but really, unless you can’t find links elsewhere, it’s not necessary at all.

Web 2.0 Site Backlinking

Instead of buying links invest in software that will help you create link wheels including Web 2.0 properties. This is one of the methods I use to get backlinks and increase the ranking of my important pages.

A few of the tools I use to help me gain the backlinks and ranking I need to make my money online are:

Backlink Build creates happy backlink clients so check them out for your backlinking needs.

RankBuilder a link wheel and rank building tool I purchased and use daily to shoot my money pages to the top of Google.

As a work from home online marketer I tend to invest the majority of my time article marketing. However I always invest time on my niche and keyword research first, as it should be and not as an after thought.

Keyword Elite 2 is how I am able to get my niche and keyword research done so quickly these days. It used to take me days to get it done properly, now I can see everything I need to know on one screen.

Once I have my best keywords I start writing articles that focus on those keywords. I will most often use one main keyword phrase per article and then maybe one or two secondary keywords.

Effective keyword research is usually the difference between making money and going broke, so it’s well worth investing both time and money to get it done efficiently like KE2 does for me.

Increase Your Traffic By Localizing Your Articles

A fellow marketer and friend told me about localizing my content to get more targeted traffic so I gave it a try.

Example: When I first started my home gardening tips blog my article marketing focus was on North America really and I was getting about 200 unique visitors a day. I was making a few sales but nothing to write home about.

Before Publishing Make Your Articles Unique

It’s best to know right from the beginning. Google and other search engines don’t really care much for duplicate content, so don’t waste your time publishing content that’s already been published. Be sure to rewrite it first to make it unique.

Checking for uniqueness can be time consuming unless you are using a place like CopyScape.com to check your articles for you. That’s what I do and it just costs me 5 cents per article.

I used to rewrite my articles for each site I was going to publish them to and let me tell you it was very time consuming, many late nights rewriting. So just how does one create multiple articles from one article without taking days to do it?

The Best Spinner saves me hours and hours of time like it used to take me rewriting manually. Today I can use The Best Spinner to swap out words with synonyms, very quickly. Using the auto feature can produce articles that don’t read well so I avoid the auto replace feature.

Publish Your Content In Places You’ll Get The Best Results

You have completed your keyword research for now so you can begin to write useful content you will publish around the Internet. Excellent, but now where should you publish your content?

When I publish articles I publish to places I know I will get my articles indexed quickly. The faster I get them indexed the sooner I start getting traffic to my pages and the sooner I start making money.

So Are You Going To Share Some Places To Publish Articles

I like to publish my articles on sites that have some authority in Google’s eyes and that usually means I go after sites that have a PageRank of at least 3 or 4.

1. EzineArticles.com happens to be my top spot to publish articles. The reason I put them first is because they are so picky about the articles they accept.

Once EA accepts my article I then rewrite it and publish it to other top article directories with PR3 or better.

2. The Free Traffic System is next on my list.

The Free Traffic System doesn’t just publish articles, they publish them over hundreds of user blogs and they use spin code I can produce with The Best Spinner to create unique articles so each blog gets unique content.

3. Guest Blogging is a truly awesome way to get traffic you may not be able to get any other way. It’s a great way to get traffic and make more money.

How Big Should My Article Be

I used to write articles of about 300 words in length. I aimed for approximately 3-7 percent keyword density and made my articles no less than 30% unique and that worked fine for a few years. Not so much any more. Now you really want to write 500 words minimum. The density of 3-7 percent is still good but when rewriting I suggest you aim for at least 60% unique.

As marketers, we are told that we should be article marketing. Article marketing is vital to Internet marketers. You earn as an affiliate marketer, promote your website and create content for your websites all from articles.

Lots of people find article writing tricky to do because they don’t write often. This can be outsourced if you have the money. Some people start marketing online without a lot of money and so they can’t come up with the money for an outsourcer.

You can get articles written for a few dollars, but they are likely to be very poor quality. An article of a decent length and quality may cost you ten dollars or more depending on the author and the niche.

You can write the articles yourself, and it’s not that tricky to do if you follow a routine. Many people suffer from writers block or are just not used to writing an article. It can seem quite overwhelming to sit down and write, particularly if it is something you don’t typically do.

Here is a system that is effective, it is my technique and you can be creating high quality articles astonishingly quickly with this technique. It really isn’t that hard and it allows even the most novice of writers to write good articles quickly.

Step 1 : Decide which niche you will work in.

Step 2 : Decide which keyword(s) your article will focus on.

Step 3 : Decide what subject your article will be about.

Step 4 : Do a Google search with some of your keywords and see what problems and issues people face in that niche. What is it they want to know? What are their main issues? What solutions are they after?

Step 5 : Create a title with your keyword at the beginning that grabs the attention of your readers.

Step 6 : Create four or five short sentences describing the issues people in that market are experiencing (don’t give away too much information … you want your reader to buy).

Step 7 : Each sentence then needs to be turned into more descriptive paragraphs, but don’t give away the farm.

Step 8 : Write a paragraph introducing the article to put at the top.

Step 9 : Write a summarizing paragraph the content in the article at the bottom.

And there you have a good quality, unique article that you could spin or just submit to an article directory or use on your website. Content rules on the Internet, and unique content will help you crush the competition.

This method will assist you to rapidly write articles, and it won’t be long before you can write a good quality article in under ten minutes. After practising, you will be able to write them in five to 7 minutes without problems!

Article marketing is a numbers game; the more articles you have out there working for you, the more potential earnings you have!

For my article marketing needs I use The Best Spinner. The Best Spinner allows me to replace words in my articles with synonyms. I can do this automatically or by replacing them individually, which is my preference for producing the most quality in my spun articles.

Once I have my article spun I submit my original to EzineArticles.com and then spun versions to other article directories. I also use my spin text at The Free Traffic System where I can get my articles published over their blog network. I can even spin my hyperlink text. This gives me hundreds and hundreds of one way backlinks with a variety of link text for better page rank results.

I hope you find this article beneficial and interesting. I am going to explain and give free web design and web promotion tips.

Cheap web design services. You may think you need to spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds to have an internet presence.

Due to the amount of people offering the service of web design, this certainly does not have to be the case. In my opinion you should only have to pay between £50 and £100 to have a website built.

You can find these cheap web design companies by looking on internet auction websites, internet search engines or in the Yellow Pages.

It is vital to a company to have the probable maximum guests in their site. You can attain this by having a very good Page Rank or also called PR. Normally, the greater the page ranking of your site has, the more guest you would probably have.

Its necessary for you to create several pages of back links on your site to improve page rank. You may attain it by communicating to other significant sites inviting them to exchange web links with each site.

Writing articles like the one you are reading here is another way of obtaining backward links. By submitting these articles to article websites, other webmasters are then able to use your article on their website, thus giving you an extra link. This is because you are able to add your information and web address in the author bio at the bottom of the page.

You may as well opt to choose adwords on Google to improve page rank of your website. It’s a method where you pay to be visible on the right side advertisement section in a Google’s search engine for your particular keyword. Be wise not to pay too much for advertisement for your site compared to your profits. There are lots of effective and inexpensive ways to increase page rank if you just review everything first.
