Link Building Packages
March 12th, 2011
As you look at the following options ask yourself what you think it would be worth for your company to have a top ranking in Google, Yahoo and Bing. Statistics show that approx 90% of clicks go to the top 3 generically ranked sites for any keyword or keyword phrase. Of that 90% about half, or 45% go to the #1 ranked site with another 30% going to #2 and about 15% going to #3. That leaves a whopping 10% or so of searches for the last 7 results on page one and beyond. Please do not shoot the messenger. Let’s just make sure we show up at the top!
Local Starter Package
This is our most basic package and is recommended if you have a bit of a less competitive keyword type situation. If you can go to Google and type in your top 2 keywords or keyword phrases and find that you have anywhere from a few hundred to maybe 8000 or so competing pages, getting a top 3 position should likely be pretty straight forward and simple. This campaign will play out over about 2 months to make the link building process look normal to the search engines.
We will start with:
30 Social Bookmarking Submissions
We will submit your site to 30 social bookmarking sites. We will use our own established bookmarking accounts. We will then link back to each new bookmark at least twice and ping those new posts to make sure the new bookmarks are picked up in the search engines.
30 RSS Feed directory submissions
This posts 30 rss feed directory submissions of your rss feed.
30 Directory Submissions (PR 2 and above)
We will submit your site to PR 2 or higher directory sites.
Please note, most directory sites only allow top level domains, please don`t request inner page submissions.
30 article directory submissions (provide your own article)
Your article should be a 300 word piece describing your business or service and what makes it a good deal or a must have. It can be a description of your business or service or pick something unique about what you do and explain it as if you were talking to a friend. Each article submission will allow you 2 links so the article submissions will give you an additional 60 backlinks total.
If you absolutely do not want to create your article we can do that for a one time fee of $25.
15 blog comments
This is not a spam type of comment. We will make relevant comments on blogs using your sites domain in the blog for backlinking purposes. Each comment left will give you a minimum of 1 and sometimes 2 links back your site. So we say 15 here but you should end up with about 20 backlinks. The blogs will be a minimum of a page rank 2 and will already be indexed which will give these links added link juice for ranking purposes.
Please note that these blogs will be a combination of do follow and no follow. Both are important as you need to show a diversity of link types to look natural in the search engines.
Your cost for this package is $79 per keyword or keyword phrase. We recommend that you start off concentrating on one or two keywords or keyword phrases and no more than three, and let us work on that for a month or two before moving on to additional keywords or keyword phrases.
Click below to order one of these packages. When your payment is complete you will be taken back to our site here where you can email us a copy of your payment receipt along with the keywords or phrases you want us to target. Please send any additional instructions or questions with this email and let us know if you would prefer contact by phone or email also.
Market Domination Package
If your results after typing your top 2 keywords into Google show that your competing pages are over 10,000 it will take a bit more work to get you into the top 3 positions. Fear not as this package is designed to give you that extra little shove necessary to put your site where it needs to be. Here is what we will be doing over a 2 month period. Again, drip feeding these links over time its very important to make everything look natural.
We will start with:
50 Social Bookmarking Submissions
We will submit your site to 50 social bookmarking sites. We will use our own established bookmarking accounts. We will then link back to each new bookmark at least twice and ping those new posts to make sure the new bookmarks are picked up in the search engines.
50 RSS Feed directory submissions
This posts 50 rss feed directory submissions of your rss feed.
50 Directory Submissions (PR 2 and above)
We will submit your site to PR 2 or higher directory sites.
Please note, most directory sites only allow top level domains, please don`t request inner page submissions.
50 article directory submissions (provide your own article)
Your article should be a 300 word piece describing your business or service and what makes it a good deal or a must have. It can be a description of your business or service or pick something unique about what you do and explain it as if you were talking to a friend. Each article submission will allow you 2 links so the article submissions will give you an additional 100 backlinks total.
If you absolutely do not want to create your article we can do that for a one time fee of $25.
30 blog comments
This is not a spam type of comment. We will make relevant comments on blogs using your sites domain in the blog for backlinking purposes. Each comment left will give you a minimum of 1 and sometimes 2 links back your site. So we say 30 here but you should end up with about 40 backlinks. The blogs will be a minimum of a page rank 2 and will already be indexed which will give these links added link juice for ranking purposes.
Please note that these blogs will be a combination of do follow and no follow. Both are important as you need to show a diversity of link types to look natural in the search engines.
Your cost for this package is $119 per keyword or keyword phrase. We recommend that you start off concentrating on one or two keywords or keyword phrases and no more than three, and let us work on that for a month or two before moving on to additional keywords or keyword phrases.
Click below to order one of these packages. When your payment is complete you will be taken back to our site here where you can email us a copy of your payment receipt along with the keywords or phrases you want us to target. Please send any additional instructions or questions with this email and let us know if you would prefer contact by phone or email also.
A La Carte Services
After we do the basics listed above you may want to begin to diversify or kick up your linking campaigns a notch or two. If you are in a very competitive field these additional services may be what you need to put the icing on the cake so to speak. These services can also be ordered independent of the linking packages above.
One of the most effective techniques we have done is called a link wheel:
Link Wheel Creation
15 blogs from 15 different free hosting sites, and each blogs rss feed will be submitted to 25 rss feed directories. Maximum of 3 links per post, and on every blog we will post two articles. You can provide these two articles or we will use our collection of PLR articles or get them from free article directories. They will be related to whatever type of business you are in.
In this technique you`re expecting 2,250 links. How does that happen? 15 blogs X 2 Posts each blog X 3 links per blog = 90, since your links are in the blog post when submitting them to rss feed directories, they point the link again to your main site. 90 Links X 25 rss feed directories = 2,250 links.
Price for this service is $89 per keyword or keyword phrase.
Click below to order one of this package. When your payment is complete you will be taken back to our site here where you can email us a copy of your payment receipt along with the keyword or phrase you want us to target. Please send any additional instructions or questions with this email and let us know if you would prefer contact by phone or email also.

Social Media and Web 2.0 – Part 4
December 20th, 2010
Web Directories
You can grab quick links by submitting your site to web directories. This can build tons and tons of links to your site at the click of a button or you can outsource this.
As I mentioned in an earlier chapter, you can also outsource this to us. We do all kinds of SEO work for building links to your site. If you’re short on time or simply don’t feel like doing the manual work this may be for you!
SEO doesn’t have to be hard.
Social Bookmarking
This is an easy way to get Backlinks to your site, it’s been around for a while and most of the buzz is dying down, but it is still effective if you choose the right sites to bookmark your site to.
It’s not a good idea to spam the social bookmarking sites but you want to create as many accounts as you can.
Create accounts and follow the instructions for each social bookmarking service. You can’t make a mistake here. All you want is to have your site “in there”. You can’t specify anchor text; so it’s strictly just your site, a description and some tags.
I list some software in a chapter below and plus I give you guys a solid action plan, so there is no worries!
Articles
We all know about submitting articles to article directories, you would simply create an informative article based around the keyword you are targeting.
You want to submit your article to the TOP 7 article directories because they have high pagerank and can build the authority of your site!
Here are the TOP 7 article directories and their pagerank!
1. EZine Articles PR6 – www.ezinearticles.com
2. Amazines PR4 – www.amazines.com
3. Article Alley PR5 – www.articlealley.com
4. Article City PR5 – www.articlecity.com
5. Article Clicl PR5 – www.articleclick.com
6. Article Rich PR2 – www.articlerich.com
7. Article Trader PR3 – www.articletrader.com
Now submitting articles to these article directories is fine and dandy but you always want to maximize your efforts and spread your content to as many sites as possible so you gain more authority on the web!
There is a new form of article marketing that just jumped on the scene last year. There are several networks these days that will take your article and post it to hundreds of blogs/websites.
The great thing about this you can spread your links and content across hundreds of related blogs, which looks good in Google’s eyes. The key here is to write quality articles so that these blog owners will approve of your content. They will most likely approve, since they need more content on their blogs.
Here are a few article syndicate networks:
• www.articlemarketingautomation.com
• www.syndicatekahuna.com/providers
• www.1waylinks.net
Yahoo Answers
This is another quick and easy way to build links to your site, I personally don’t use this method anymore because it requires more work and plus yahoo changes their terms, like every week!
Be careful with this though, Yahoo is prone to catching on to, too many posts, i.e. your questions/answers.
Squidoo
Everyone knows about Squidoo, how well their pages rank in Google, take the power of these pages to get your own site ranked in the SERPS!
Setup your profile and create Squidoo pages based around your keywords so that your pages will not only give you a link back but also rank for the keyword you are targeting.
EDU Links
.EDU and .GOV links are like gold because Google loves them! This shows that you are linking to a reputable site and therefore builds your authority
Many .edu web pages are blogs created by college students from the school. You can do a simple Google search, like so:
You can copy/paste this code into Google search and find a bunch of related .edu blogs to comment on. Be sure to make your comments informative or entertaining!
Here is an example of a college blog: http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~mpill001/finance-info/2008/08/the-different-options-you-can-avail-to-learn-forex-trading/
If you visit that link you will find a nice blog setup where you can comment on that post and receive a POWERFUL .edu backlink to your site!
This is another easy way to build “do follow” links on a high page rank site! You would simply create a profile and list your sites in your profile with your keyword as the anchor text!
Flickr – The Secret Sauce!
I call this the secret sauce because not too many know that you can get high page rank, do follow links from Flickr and other photo sharing sites!
To gain a link from Flickr you would simply upload a picture and make the alt text your target keyword. That is too easy, NOT to do! If you look all the MySpace graphics sites that are making six figures with the Google Adsense, you will notice that all of their links come from photo sharing sites!
1 Way Link Networks
There’s a lot of skepticism about if 1 way link networks work or not. Some of you are probably asking…”What is a 1 way link network?”
Simply put, you will input your site into a network where other sites can link to yours and vice versa. This builds links on each other’s pages but you will never link to the same site (hope that made sense). So all the while your site is continuously building Backlinks without you lifting a finger.
The 1 way link networks that I recommend is: www.1waylinks.net
This network was built by a very good SEO expert and internet marketer named Jon Leger. I have over a dozen sites in their network, all gaining good Backlinks!
Tracking Your Results
It is very important to track your results so that you can not only gain the motivation to keep going but to see where your traffic is actually coming from!
You may be ranking for keywords and have no idea, I usually check my stats to see where most of my traffic is coming from and I will come up with ways to increase the traffic from that source. If you’re not tracking your results how will you know how to improve the SEO on your site?
To track all your traffic I recommend:
Google Analytics – www.google.com/analytics
This is hands down the BEST tracking software you will find on the net and plus it’s FREE. If you’re not using Google Analytics, there is something terribly wrong. This should be in every internet marketer’s toolbox!
You’re Action Plan!
If you didn’t get anything out of this ebook, it will be this action plan, after reviewing it you never think that SEO is hard task!
This is the same process I go through when setting up a new site! If you follow this brain dead simple process you will be ranking in the SERPS in no TIME!
1. Keyword Research
2. Check Your On-Page factors
3. Create a Linkbuilding campaign – choose from the huge list of Linkbuilding methods I outlined in this ebook!
Well there you have it! I hope you’ve enjoyed this ebook, but most importantly I hoped you learned something. I spelt the beans on all my SEO and Linkbuilding techniques.
If you follow all of these techniques to a “T” and add your own flavor to it, there isn’t any keyword that you cannot rank for!
To YOUR Success,
SEO Resources
I just wanted to list some websites and blogs you can use to increase your SEO knowledge. You will never know everything there is to know about SEO, but you can sure TRY!
It’s important to continually grow your expertise in this area!
If you want to learn more about SEO, here are a few notable sites:
http://www.seobook.com/blog
http://www.seomoz.org
http://searchengineland.com
List of Safe Automation Tools
It’s important to use as many automation tools as possible. You can only do so much and if you have software automating some of your tasks, you can get more stuff done and increase your PROFITS!
Here is a list of tools that I use and why I use them!
1. SENuke – www.senuke.com
This is my #1 recommendation! This software is heaven sent; you can submit your content to over a dozen social networking, web 2.0 sites with the click of a button.
Not only that…it will also social bookmark any content you may have and submit your videos to the major video sharing sites. If you were to buy any software for your search engine efforts it would be this!
2. Bookmarking Demon – www.bookmarkingdemon.com
This is an automated social bookmarking tool; it creates accounts and submits your sites to social bookmarking sites all on autopilot! Be careful with this though; do not abuse its power!
3. JetSubmitter – www.jetsubmitter.com
This is server based software that will submit unique articles to over 600 article directories. The great thing about this is you don’t have no interaction with the submission of each article it works on the web in the background.
One other perk is that it will submit a different version of your article to each article directory. Visit the site for a FULL video explanation!
4. CommentKahuna – www.commentkahuna.com
In the blog commenting chapter I explained how valuable commenting on other blogs can be for you SEO efforts and branding awareness. This software finds and automates most of the commenting for you, so you can get more done, FASTER!
5. Need An Article – www.need-an-article.com
Okay so this is not so much an automation tool but it’s an outsourcing resource where you can get articles written in most cases less than 24 hours! These are written by humans and not robots, so the quality is usually GREAT!
That about wraps it up. I hope by going through these last few posts you have a better understanding on what it takes to rank your site in the search engines. SEO is an ever evolving “thing” and we will constantly be on the lookout for newer and newer ways to make your site pop. Good Luck!

On Page Search Engine Optimization – Part 3
November 9th, 2010
On Page SEO
This is where SEO starts, plain and simple; if your site is not optimized for the keywords you are targeting, you’ve lost the battle before you’ve even started.
Hopefully you have had a chance to go through part 1 search engines explained and part 2 search engine rankings and keywords. This will make more sense if that is the case.
In this post I will be pointing out the key features your site needs so that your site looks professionally optimized to the search engines! On page factors are just as important as building links and other aspects involved getting your site to the TOP!
Title & META Tags
Your Title and META tags are the first thing the search engine spiders see when visiting your site! Be sure that your home page TITLE tag is related to the keywords you identified!
Using the “forex” example from the keyword research chapter this is how it would be done!
As you can see I added the TOP 3 keywords to the title and the 5 keywords to the META keyword area. There are some other SEO META tags that I included so that your sites get indexed faster!
Here is the META tag sequence I use on all my sites that gives me top rankings! Feel free to use as a template!
Important Pages to Include
Here is a list of pages that you must include on your website. The spiders (search engine bots) will go to crawl your site and will be looking for these pages, you can simply put them in the footer or wherever you like.
1. Contact Page – It’s crucial that your prospects/visitors have a way of contacting you.
2. Disclaimer – If your sell products or information in particular on your site, it is a good idea to use a disclaimer to keep your visitors, in the “know”.
3. Privacy Policy – Spam used to be a big issue and mostly everyone hates it! Let your visitors know that you will keep the information you gather from them safe, i.e. their email address.
4. Sitemap – This makes it easy for the spiders to scan your site, making each page on your site available for anyone to see. It gives your webpage more structure. I will go over how to create a sitemap further in the ebook.
5. Five pages of Content – Google and other search engines look at how much quality content you have on your website that is relevant to the keywords you are targeting. Be sure to have at least 5 articles/web pages with quality content on them.
Creating a Sitemap
These days creating a sitemap is very easy; there are FREE automated tools that will do this for you. You want to have a sitemap on your site because it will make scanning your site a lot faster, thus indexing you’re all your webpage’s a lot of faster.
The spiders will visit your sitemap and see all the pages that your website includes, instead looking at the one by one. So here’s how to create the file…you would simply go to:
You would simply enter your website URL and it will return an XML file that you would upload to your server to appear on your site! This is too easy NOT to do it!
Robots.txt File
I don’t want to go all nerdy on you and throw a whole bunch of techie stuff your way but it is important to know what your site needs. As more and more people catch on to the power of marketing on the internet, the more valuable this information becomes!
So what is a robots.txt file? It’s basically a text file that’s created with notepad or any compatible text editor. You can add certain web pages on your site that you DO NOT want the search engines to crawl.
The reason for this could be to keep your download page for your customers from showing up in the SERPS or showing duplicate content on your site. This way it won’t seem like your spamming the search engines with non-sense.
Even if you don’t have any web pages that DO NOT want to show up in the SERPS it is a good idea to have one uploaded and on your site so the search engines know that you’re playing by the rules!
So here’s how you create a “Robots.txt” file, these are very simply to make despite the name.
Like I stated before you would simply open notepad or your favorite text editor. This lines you will enter in this text file are as follows:
It’s pretty much self explanatory; you tell which spider, i.e. Google, MSN or Yahoo not to crawl the “Disallow” listed sites. That’s all to it, too easy right?
Let me give you a few examples so you know exactly how this should look when you create your robots.txt file.
Let’s say you DO NOT want the Google bots (spiders) from crawling a particular page on your site. This is how it would look:
If you want to allow the spiders to index everything on your site and just want to have the robots.txt file on your site for good measures. This is how it would look. Feel free to copy/paste for your own use!
Submitting Your Site to the SERPS
This is the first step to getting your site recognized by the search engines! There are free and paid ways you can submit your site to 100s of search engines with the click of a button.
1. The Free Way – www.submitexpress.com
Here you simply input your sites URL and it will submit to over 40+ search engines. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
2. The Paid Way – www.submitedge.com
SubmitEdge offers a variety of link building services and they are worth checking out! You can submit your site to 200+ search engines for $29 with no work on your part.
If your budget permits, this is a GREAT idea, its gets those spiders crawling your site!
Super Linkbuilding
Building links is also known as “Off-Page SEO”. It’s all about the links, in most cases; the site with the most links will win in an SEO battle! Provided that the site is optimized for that certain keyword and followed all the On-Page SEO criteria.
How to Build Links & Use Anchor Text
You want to build your links in a way that looks natural to the search engines. I would say about 10 – 20 links per day will do.
Now about your anchor text, for those who don’t know what anchor text is, here is the definition right from Wikipedia:
The anchor text, link label or link title is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. The words contained in the Anchor text can determine the ranking that the page will receive by search engines.
You want to alternate your keywords for anchor text (if that made sense) so the keyword usage for anchor text would look something like this:
Keyword #1: Use 70% of the time for anchor text
Keyword #2: Use 20% of the time
Keyword #3: Use 10% of the time
Keyword #4: Use 5% of the time
Keyword #5: Use 5% of the time
Now you don’t have to go by those numbers exactly but close to it will make sure that the search engine bots done recognize your site for spamming for one keyword, with the sole intention of ranking for a certain keyword.
Now to the fun stuff! Below you will find close to a dozen ways to build links! I go over where to find these links and some tips and tricks for each!
Forums
Many people overlook the power of forum marketing but it has so many benefits it’s not even funny. I say the only down fall is that it takes a long time to do this right!
Forum marketing is one of the many ways to generate a lot of Backlinks to your website; it can also send a lot of traffic to your site, which will help you, get more sales or email subscribers.
There is definitely no shortage in niche communities, you can find a forum in just about any niche you can think of these days! I found one a few weeks ago on Bee Keeping; I mean who would of thought?
You can instantly build a good reputation in these communities and reach out to your prospects with just a few forum posts and a very enticing signature that shows them the links to your website.
Remember to start off slow when jumping into a conversation at these forums because the advocates in the group will notice your trying to sale something from the start! It’s important to be discreet and find some common ground with people!
You don’t want to bust onto the scene, spamming the threads with a lot of “me, too!” responses, because it won’t be long before you find yourself banned or simply ignored.
Be helpful, share tips, resources and information, and approach forum marketing in a similar way that you would approach social networking, by offering help and slowly building awareness of your brand.
This is how you will search for forums in your niche market. You would simply do a Google search like so:
Just replace “forex trading” with your main keyword and dozens of forums will pop up for your niche!
When creating your signature box, be sure to feature a free report or resource to entice people to click your link in the same way that you would create your article marketing resource boxes.
The easiest way to direct traffic to your website from a forum is by offering something of value, at no cost.
Focus on building a list of active subscribers that you can follow up with in the future with both free content, balanced out with promotional offers.
To locate some of the TOP forums with a lot of traffic, simply visit:
www.Big-Boards.com They show you how many members and posts a particular forum has, to make sure there is a lot of traffic there. This is a very good resource for Forum Marketing.
Blogs
I outsource my blog commenting, if I want to do it in mass. If I’m in the internet marketing niche, I usually spend a few hours writing the comments myself because you want to say something meaningful in your comments.
This is for 2 reasons:
1. So your comments will get approved
2. You build a solid online reputation
Of course there is software to automate you finding blogs that will give your sites some good Backlinks!
We have gone a little further than we planned in this post, but that is to your benefit! In our next and final post on this topic we will discuss Web 2.0 properties and social bookmarking. With the information we have covered so far you should be on your way to better rankings.
