Back Links Creation without Link Exchange

Follow the below points and it would be very easy to create lots of non-reciprocal Link backs from other websites/web pages.

1. Directory Submission: To have more Backlinks, submit your website for free web directories. Dmoz is the first directory to be submitted, as Google prefers it. In Paid directories, Yahoo Directory listing with $299 is worth a try.
There are hundreds of free directories and some of the others take nominal fees to include your website in their directories.
Only caution is submit into right and relevant category in those directories and also change the linking text (Famously called as Anchor Text). Have 4-5 variations of Linking Text and also Descriptions.
If its possible try to include Inner page (deeper webpage) of your website into the directories which helps in getting visitors directly to the Product/Service page than to the homepage.

2. Blog Promotion: Try to promote your website in blogs. Search for high ranking, most famous blogs in your field and Comment in those blogs. Try to actively participate in others blogs and keep intouch with popular blog writers. With good rapport from your side, someday they may write about your website. You never know, what goodness can bring to you in your life...

3. Signature: Have your signature with web address in your emails and in messages which you respond in forums. This will increase your websites traffic.

4. Promote by Publishing: Try to give Press Releases (Many free services are available on net) and create Articles and submit to all article websites. When they are published, you will get free back links from good places.

PPC Campaign Management - Google Adwords - Pay Per Click Tips

I came across an interesting conversation regarding PPC Campaign management.
Hope this will help you all to manage you Pay Per Click Campaigns.

Q: How to do keyword price adjustments in ppc?
A: check your landing page - your keyword and adcopy, all these 3 should contain the keyword. Add ur keywords in meta tags too. This all will make the ad quality score GREAT but not OK or POOR. Hence u can adjust PPC value.

Q: How to Lower CPC (Cost Per Click) by increasing CTR (Click Thru Rate)?
A: First of all, try to identify the ideal position for your ad in the ranking page as its displayed on search engine. You have position preference in Adwords, where your ad will be shown only if the position you specified is guaranteed for your keyword at a certain CPC. Enabling this feature will result in increase your CTR very much, but be careful it may reduce your number of impressions and hence clicks.


Q: What are Longtail Keywords?
A: Longtail refers to additional keywords which could surround your main product/service and make sense (Actually the whole combination of general words with your main keyword which can be queried by users on search engines)

Q: How to get more longtail keywords?
A: Try to use thesaurus and have keyword research on wordtracker or Google sandbox keyword tool. Check for your referral log (really a Gold Mine) on your server. This too gives you keywords which are getting you visitors to your website.

Q: Suppose I am using one landing page for 40 keywords, can I put 40 keywords in meta tag of landing page?
A: yes, u have to.... otherwise whats the use of a page - u put pen on meta tags and sell shoes in that page?
Your relevancy will increase if u use keywords in meta tags.

Q: How to create and manage an ideal PPC Campaign?
A: Simple - create campaigns then Adgroups with a Relevant Adcopy and insert Keywords.
You will need to group similar landing page keywords into 1 adgroup.
Campaign name and adgroups should also contain keywords.
We need to put all keywords of adgroup into landing page.
You have advanced options for keyword insertion at adcopy level and destination url level too

Ex: If shoes is campaign then walking and running should be adgroups. shoes/Product names should be the keywords.

SEO in 2007 - Strategy and Planning

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has been drastically changed in these recent years. We are in 2007 and it looks we need more understanding, deep knowledge before we jump into implementing SEO.

Keyword research has become most important component and at present we can access lots of analytics software, online tools.

Pinging Search Engine has become very easy. We have Google Sitemaps in xml format which are even accepted by MSN and Yahoo takes .txt file which contains all the urls.

Back Links development has become integral part and now what counts is Relevancy of our link backs. As many of us know, Link Farms are bad neighbourhoods and not recommended as per latest trends.

PageRank is no longer fancy of Search Engine Optimizers. Google PR is always changing and its unpredictability has left many professionals not to care for it.

Content is still the King. It rules. Creating content, sentences woven around the keywords would give Organic results but may not yield good conversions.

Onpage Optimization has still a bit of importance left in it and if done with correct basics, this will have boost in your Ranking.

To rise higher in SERPs (Search Engine Resultant Pages), constant SEO and applying latest trends + high volume of traffic is the only way.

Offsite optimization does not include Blogging (PR leak will not happen), signature in forums and commenting etc... Its still purely Back Link with Anchor text, rotation of linking text.

For Traffic generation, Banner advertisements, emaliers are working fine. Even PPC is fruitful when tried not with major search engines.
