In 2009, I am going to start some new series of articles here. one is about self help or self improvement as I am inviting guest bloggers here to present some quality articles, the other will be more in depth free training of Search Engine Optimization or SEO that you aware of.
Now as you may already know to succeed in any SEO, the ability of getting incoming links are the most important. so how do you get links, in this series of 7 (I think) tutorials, I am going to reveal step by step how you can build links using various methods that I am currently using. (Note: some of the points presented here may not be agreed by some “so-called” SEO gurus, but I presented here works for me and 100% white hat)
Some HTML Basics
To start off the topics, let me do some basic HTML training. You do need to know some HTML codes if you want to do SEO yourself. While here I am just concentrating the code that let you do link building,
namely anchored text links:
<a href="http://www.yourdomainhere.com/" title="descriptive phrase includes keywords"> yourkeyowrdshere </a>The above code is the best way to write your HTML in order to gain most advantage of SEO. I saw someone writes <a href=”http://www.yourdomain.com”> http://www.yourdomain.com </a>
, <a href=”http://www.yourdomainhere.com”> yourkeyowrdshere </a> (without the ending forward slash), or <a href=”http://www.yourdomainhere.com/index.html”> yourkeyowrdshere </a>. Well those ways are not the best way to get the most of the links.
Definition of links
There are lots of ways getting links but in general there are three ways:
(1) One way links
(2) Two ways or reciprocal links
(3) Three ways link exchange
One Way Links
One way links are basically you are “asking” other webmasters or webmistresses to add a link to your site without you link back to their sites. Nowadays, one way links are believed to have more weight than two ways or three ways. The reasons are perhaps, one way incoming links look more natural to search engines eyes than a reciprocal or three way links exchange. So I do recommend you build one way incoming links with your site to get maximum benefits of search engine rankings.
Two ways or reciprocal Links Exchange
Both webmasters agree to link with each other sites by adding their links at the websites. That is you link me so I link you. While this alone did work with yesterday SEO tactics, but today, you have to be careful not excessively doing it too much. In Google webmaster guidelines, it says:
“… This is in violation of Google’s webmaster guidelines and can negatively impact your site’s ranking in search results. Examples of link schemes can include: ….
Excessive reciprocal links or excessive link exchanging (”Link to me and I’ll link to you.”)”
Well, how many link exchanges will harm your site? Well, I am not sure. Google doesn’t say, but to me you should focus on real one way link building rather than rely on automatic link building link exchange schemes or scripts.
In our part 2, we will discuss briefly about 3 ways link exchange, and start to give you some methods that I am using. So stay tuned.

The key to making the most out of niche affiliate marketing is to find the best products to promote. You need to find the hidden, undiscovered niches that have low competition levels that you can thrive in, but have a high customer demand.
These could be a small niche that most people would not consider but actually has a surprising amount of prospects. It could also be a smaller niche within a much larger and competitive market. If you can drill down in these markets and find the longtail keywords and phrases that customers search for you could be [...] Continue Reading…
