Good to Know

If you know anything about getting traffic from the search engines, you know the importance of getting backlinks to your websites.

Are you looking for a place where you can easily create promotional messages for your products and services? A place where you can build backlinks to all your websites and get the attention of Google and the other search engines? The Link Builder Network is just what you are looking for - a network of more than 50 blogs you can use to promote all your products and services.

In fact you can even resell this service to clients. If you are a web designer, for example you can bundle a unique promotional service with your other web building services.

The Link Builder Network is a "members only" site where marketers and promoters serious about promoting their products and services can publish their promotional messages. Members will find important tools to help promote their websites inside of the restricted members only area.

One of the major competitive advantages large companies have over smaller ones is efficiency in managing inventory. Through electronic inventory tracking systems using inventory software, larger companies have real-time counts of all items in stock and the ordering of replenishment stock is done automatically based on the count in the computer.

These days, the availability of electronic inventory tracking solutions puts the competitive advantage back in the small businesses' favor. Now, not only can the local business compete on
price, but they are still able to maintain the same level of customer service that draws their customers in the first place.

We now have more than 50 blogs available to members of the Self Serve Blogging program. They are in various categories such as Shopping, Marketing, Health, Travel, Real Estate, etc.

You can see the current list by following this link

Many of the new blogs use Wordpress. We will have a video up shortly to describe how to use both types of blogs - b2Evolution and Wordpress.

I've created a short video showing how to create a hyperlink (or a "link" as it is commonly called.)

You can find it here:

Creating a Link video

It is generally considered better to hyperlink keywords rather than simply using a URL as a link. Hyperlinked keywords are usually referred to as "anchor text."

So, for example, let's say I am creating a post about "self serve blogging" and I want to point this link to a specific page:

http://www.linknet-promotions.com/subscribe.php

Rather than simply using this address as your link, it is more effective to use a link like this:

Self Serve Blogging

Why?

Because this associates the target page with "self serve blogging", and tells the search engines that is what the page is about. So it increases the chances that your target page will come up in searches for "self serve blogging."

Jan 29, 2007 - Titles - Making Effective Blog Posts 1 - by Rick Hendershot

Here are some suggestions for making your titles more effective:

1. Put your most important keyword (MIKW) in the title.

2. Keep your titles relatively short - 5-8 words.

3. Make your titles interesting - people read them too.

4. Don't use the same title all the time. For example, if your MIKW is "digital gadgets" vary your titles like this:

- Digital Gadgets Still Popular Favorites
- Digital Gadgets You Must Have
- Top 10 Digital Gadgets
- Green Digital Gadgets Hot This Year
etc.

5. Don't use the same keyword in all your titles. Remember, keywords are "search terms" - phrases that people use to find your type of product. Not everyone uses the same thing. If you haven't done it already, do a keyword analysis to find other relevant keywords. For example: digital gadgets, electronic gadgets, digital products, etc.

Linknet2 is a "member restricted" website designed to allow members to promote their products and services.

The objective of Linknet2 is to keep your message in front of the search engines and build a relationship between your site(s) and your most important keywords.

With Linknet2.com you can emphasize different keywords in each blog post. So, for instance, if you have three different products -- Green Widgets, Blue Widgets, and Red Widgets -- you should create optimized posts for each of these products. You may want to have these linked both to your home page and to your unique product pages.

And you can use each of the five blogs to promote each of these products, because each of the blogs is a unique website in the eyes of the search engines, and each of them is syndicated on different pages. That makes 15 different posts.

As far as "frequency" is concerned...

we recommend that you re-post for the same product in the same blog roughly every two weeks. Why? Because as other members post for their products, yours will move down the list and eventually fall off the 1st page of the blog into the archives where it is much less effective. It will also fall off the syndicated versions for the same reason.

So "refreshing" your posts is important, to keep it in front of the search engines.

On the other hand, "spamming" the blogs will not be tolerated. If we find the same blog being used to promote the same product on the same day we will delete the oldest post(s). If this happens continually we will suspend the member in question.
