You know it is funny in a way. Webmasters have learned that the
most important thing that they can do to improve the traffic to
their website and to attract attention from the search engines is
to build links to their website.
But when it comes time to actually start building links to one's
website, people typically pick the hardest way to accomplish the
task and then they get to work. Working Hard People have been told about various ways to build links to one's
website, and they go through the process of picking out the
method that they would prefer to use. It is kind of ironic that
most people pick the method that they believe will be the easiest
and least expensive to achieve, and when all is said and done,
they will have picked out the hardest, least effective method of
building links. For example, most newcomers to online business choose: * Reciprocal links; * Directory submissions. With Reciprocal Links, people buy a software package that helps
them to search out websites that are supposedly "related" to
theirs and then they send an email to the person who owns that
website, proclaiming the benefits of trading links and asking for
the link. With directory submissions, webmasters can get software that is
supposed to help with the process, but it takes hours just to
submit one's website to a few dozen directories. Fortunately,
there are service providers who also provide submissions to web
directories. Regardless of how you get links submitted to web
directories, you generally have to pray that those web
directories are approving submissions, since most owners have
abandoned their directories. Beyond the time required setting up links in this fashion, and
the frustration of getting very few links for the amount of time
spent, the worst part of the equation is that the search engines
tend to ignore links gained through these methods, and few humans
find and follow those links. Internet newcomers using these methods frequently spend a lot of
time trying to promote their websites, and in the end, they have
accomplished nothing more than wasting a lot of their limited
time and energy. Working Smart What if I could show you a better way? Would you be intrigued
enough by my methods to try them for yourself? My point in sharing this with you is not to annoy you, but to
help you get better results in much less time. When we launch new websites, we ignore reciprocal links and web
directories altogether. We consider both to be a complete waste
of time, effort and money. Let me put this into perspective for you by giving you a real
life example. On November 18th, 2008, we bought and built a new niche domain:
http://www.shoppingtraveldeals.com/blog/ Today is December 27th, so this site has only been active for
just under six weeks. We purchased the domain on the 18th, had it set up with content
on the 19th, and then on the 20th, we started promoting this
website. We released our first and second reprint articles,
promoting this site on the 20th of November. We released our
third article on the 24th and the fourth on the 25th. Then we
released our fifth article promoting the website on December
15th. We also set up bookmarks for the main page of the website in
Stumbleupon, Digg and Propeller. In the 39 days since we bought this domain, our website has seen
520 unique visitors. The site received 86 visitors in November
and 434 so far in December.
Now here is where it gets interesting. We have received traffic from 66 unique web pages, and we have
received click-through traffic from Google and Windows Live, with
86% of our search traffic coming from Google. On our search engine traffic, we have received traffic on 171
unique keyword phrases. In order to better understand this search
engine traffic, we ran the top 25 search terms through Google to
see where our website ranked in the search results, and this is
what we came up with: * Two #1 listings; * Ten listings that were ranked from #2 to #4; * Ten listings that were ranked from #5 to #10; * Two listings on page two of Google's search results (#11 to
#20); * One listing on page three of Google's results (#21 to #30). We built this website with the express intent of earning
affiliate commissions in the travel industry. The prognosis is
good, as we have already started earning money from this website,
and in terms of our current earnings, we expect to be in the
black against our initial investment into this website, within
about three months. More About Reprint Articles
