Start Building Your Link Popularity Today

By Hayden Linoturn


One of the important factors with getting the most web traffic is to start building your link popularity today. The search engines find that websites with more links pointing to them are more favored and thus receive more traffic. So you want to somehow make other sites link to you to make your link popularity higher, and then you will receive more traffic from sites like Yahoo and Google.

It's pretty easy to start building your backlinks. And, you can even find free methods to do so, like the one detailed below. Of course, there are paid methods as well. But if you are just getting started, it's a good idea to do it on your own at first to get used to how things work.

Using the blogosphere to help build your link popularity and backlink profile is a perfect way for a beginner to get started. Because there are so many blogs out there, you're sure to find somewhere to post to. And because the internet is "on" 24-7, it's just a matter of getting going.

So first of all, go to Google and click the 'Blogs' link at the top. You're going to put in a keyword that is about the topic of your site. After that, Google will give you a list of all blogs that have articles about the topic, and you'll go to them.

Commenting is always available on blogs. So to build links, you'll read the article to make sure it's relevant to your website. Then you'll find the 'Comments' link and add a comment about the blog post.

In the comment area, there are usually three areas to fill out. These are Name, URL and email address. Make sure the URL field has your complete website URL in it so you actually get a link from the blog you are posting a comment on.

Next you leave your comment in the larger text box. You'll not want to "spam" the site by leaving what is basically a promotional message for your own site. If you do that, the blog owner will probably mark it as "Spam" and it will disappear.

Ensure that whatever comment you leave, it's relevant and useful. Read their article and if you have another point to add, do so. You can also ask a question or compliment the blog author.

After your well thought out and interesting comment is written, post it. There are some blogs where your comment will show up right away. Others will make the blog owner approve the comment first, and you may get a notice that your post is in the moderation queue.

Go through all the blogs listed in Google's blog search that you found on your topic. Leave comments on all that you can that are relevant to your topic. The more blogs that you leave comments on, the more you are building your link popularity.

This is a simple, free way to being immediately begin building your link popularity today. If you repeat the process weekly, or even daily, you'll find new blogs listed for you to leave comments on. By repeating this process on a regular schedule you'll be able to build your backlinks over time.

How to create your own profitable Video Sharing Web Site

By Jay Newman


Video Sharing Web Sites seem all the rage right now, and a quick check on Alexa reveals that traffic to the established sites is soaring. So how to get in on the action and set up your own video sharing site.

1. Rather than aiming at a mass market, choose a niche for your video site. I niche could include, cooking video's, car maintenance, howto's are perhaps "bloopers" and comic video's.

2. You'll need a good snappy domain name. Head over to one of the big registrars and see whats available. There are different approaches to choosing a domain. One way would be to include the keywords from your niche, such as "cooking videos." Another is to pick a snappy, zany name that help the site go viral.

3. Obviously you will need a web host for your video site. The cheapest option would be to go for shared hosting. So you may need a more specialist video provider. Once your site gets established you will need more resources, perhaps a dedicated server. A virtual private server is a good compromise.

4. Normal web hosting might need the requirements for video sharing so check out web hosts, and Google for "ffmpeg hosting." FFMpeg is a utility that powers a lot of video sharing sites as it will encode video in varying formats to flash video player format (.flv)

5. Users will probably upload their video's in .avi or mp3 format, and your server will convert them on the fly using ffmpeg. Other software that might be required to encode and play your video's will be ffmpeg-php, libogg

Tips to Follow before Buying Links.

By Mark Hall


wide links may seem to possess a lot of potential, but in reality this strategy is not all it is cracked up to be. For example, if there are ten thousand pages in a site, there could be an equal number of backlinks. The point is that Google overlooks the large number of links which are originating from the same site. All the ten thousand backlinks may not be taken into account, limiting your expected returns.

Great deals could also involve article and directory submission or backlinks from a network of blogs. It is recommended that you do not buy several directory submission services as in all probability, they point towards the same sites. To get one of the best deals in the market with regard to directory submission, be prepared to spend a lot of time in research. A thousand directory submissions means that you have struck a magnum deal.

With regard to article submissions, you have to ensure that they are not submitted to the same directories so the best option is to ask for samples or list of the directories. Again, if you get services where they submit to a thousand article directories, you have struck a grand deal. You need not continue with your research for a better deal, as it could mean back-breaking work.

When you buy backlinks a whole lot of links would be aimed at your site. It is surely a grand thing to happen but you have to make sure that you use different anchor texts. Produce six to eight permutations and combinations with all your main key words and use them at once. Variations would involve choosing the keywords and creating new key words out of it, retaining the main keyword. You do not have to take it in all earnestness, just ensure that the words are changed at times. Another important thing to look for when buying backlinks on a network of blogs is that the blogs are not on the same IP address. No pageranks hardly matters but they must be indexed.

There are some deals which involve buying links from sites which have high pagerank but then they are costly. It makes no business sense in getting into such deals if your budget can not accommodate it, but if you buy several links from zero to low pagerank sites, it could be worth the effort. The most that is expected of you is to ensure that the sites are indexed.
