Orkut and Gmail! Result IS BACKLINKS

Orkut is a social site like Yahoo or MSN groups, but owned by Google.

http://www.orkut.com

Technique I am about to explain requires ONE free Google account. With that account you can use Orkut and Gmail (which is Google's email client).

Grab your free Google account... and continue below.

Visit Orkut and create your profile. More you add the better... so if you have a picture upload it. These things connect you more with other people. It's fun too. So anyway, what you need to do then is visit Orkut Communities related to SEO. Find them, there are some communities related to link exchanges specifically... join those better.

There you can put in your request for a link exchange.

Then login to Gmail chat after some time, and you will see there are many new contacts that want to chat with you. On Orkut there are many link builders, if you join with a Gmail account they invite you for a link exchange.

So automatically you have lifelong link exchange partners.

Signup for FREE!

Pretty easy, there is NO big secret. But if you join using Yahoo mail for example, you loose a plenty of link exchange partners. Most will not reply to your link exchange request on the community board. They will simple invite you for a chat but only if you have a Gmail email address.

In my experience no one added me to msn or yahoo messengers. It's difficult if they do not have the messengers installed. Too much work.

With Gmail chat, they do not need any software. Just login to Gmail and chat from there. That's the BIG difference and the reason why they invite YOU!

And YES, you can also start your own community. That's a great way to be able to post what you want, anytime you want. You create the RULES. I like that!

SEO Black Hat Case Study

This is based from my own real experience years ago. The particular type of black hat software allowed me to mass create blogs, mass post comments on other peoples blogs and mass post blog posts and comments on the blogs it created.

So as you can imagine that means a ton of backlinks. In fact the salespage first big promise was that.

The results of three or four month work was zero. Mass creating of blogs worked, but to index all those blogs it was impossible. I tried pinging, submitting blogs to blog directories,
submitting rss field to rss directories. Guess what, it is useless. Plus most of the blogs got marked as spam, they were automatically deleted. It means every comment and blog post I
posted on these mass generated blogs was useless.

The word splog came into existence after everyone realized that blogs where created for the purpose of getting links. There is an automatic system that deletes blogs if they are identified as splogs. Splogs are fake blogs created for backlinks, to improve pagerank and in other words a black hat technique which does not work anymore.

In fact if blogs are not indexed at least, the backlinks are also useless even if the blogs do not get deleted.

So why the blogs did not get indexed?

In order for a website or blog to get indexed it must get regularly and steadily amount of backlinks. Pinging once is not enough, pinging until you retire is not enough neither and submitting an rss field to rss directories might even be not enough. Why?

It is just not enough. So imagine having to index like a thousand blogs or a hundred. So mass creating blogs is not the right way to get a ton of backlinks.

The other feature of the software is to post comments on other peoples blogs.

Now this is like spamming their blogs with useless comments. Even if you create a decent comment for each blog, you are still sort of spamming. The comment section is there to comment about the blog post if you read it. If your intentions are different, then you are not commenting.

Search engines did something to shut down this spamming. Spam filters where created to stop junk or spam email. Nofollow tags where created to stop the blog commenting spam.

So all those backlinks from all those blogs, became useless overnight. Rankings drop and spiders do not like this thing. It simple means your website is no longer useful to those blogs since they removed your link. That is how spiders understand that situation.

Once again you do not need to be a genius to understand that using black hat is very risky.

Luckily for us, search engines recommend us to us white hat. They allow us to optimize our website, they like it because we are helping them by providing their customers with better quality websites. This helps you and the search engines. I will not mention the name of the software I used, but there are several similar software that spam blogs. As a newbie I had to try in order to learn.

So remember to get feedback before you try and make sure they have a money back guarantee. The results I got from this software is nothing and it took me three months testing this thing out. While I got results in less than a month using simple white hat techniques.

SEO Review of Ecommerce Website

Janet wants some help with her website.
http://www.noprescription-rx.com

This is when I got an emergency call for aid! :)

I practically gave her some tips in the form of a long email...

Here's the email.

Meta tags should only contain the keywords you are targeting, that means 2-3 only not a million :) or you can get penalty because of something known as keyword stuffing.

You sell different products on your website like for example weight loss and skin care products. Now if you get visitors to your homepage that are looking for skin care products they will see the weight loss products. That is what you have on your homepage.

SO I suggest you focus on ONE thing, that is selling what you have on your homepage only. That is weight loss products or pills... Why?

Because you want targeted traffic. These people will be looking for pills, they end up on your homepage filled with what they want so they buy. Easy, one click and they buy...

Then once you learn a bit more about seo, you can also get your other pages of your website ranked for other specific keywords. For example the skin care page you get it ranked for a keyword like skin care products.

Understood?

Go visit the keyword research tool I use:
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

Type in weight loss pills and you see a ton of keywords!

You are new to seo, so I suggest you pick up only 2 or even 1 only that have little competition which means less than million.

For example:
natural weight loss pills competition only 267,000 and it gets 58 visitors a day. Think about that, you will get 58 visitors looking for pills you have on your homepage.

If you want my advice, pick that keyword. Start getting a ton of backlinks and use that keyword in the anchor text. If you need more help in that let me know.

Once you get it on top, you become good... and you can target any other keyword. But as a start take it easy to learn.

I have to stop bitching now :) But seriously, when you get the traffic you can then provide your customers a bit better service. Like what the bottles of pills contain? Why should they trust that the bottles are safe? Try to answer all their questions, to overcome their objectives so they buy. But like I said, I am good for traffic not so converting visitors into buyers.

To get backlinks, you can create a linkspage by a script like autolinkspro.com Fully automatic - not cheap, but no need of ftp software or website editor nothing. See mine for example: http://www.outranksmart.com/links/resources.html

You can do article submission, I use http://www.instantarticlesubmitter.com everyday. It is a fully automatic software. You may have realized I like things done automatically!

Forum posting, you can join forums related to your niche or even unrelated and post in them, putting a link in your signature. The idea here is to get backlinks from different forums... means join new forums all the time.

Those are the top three methods, that I personally used and use right now. My software in fact is working in background at this moment, I am enjoying the sunny weather in Malta :)

The idea with backlinks is to get some everyday, as many as you can. But regularly and steadily.

So to recap the new bible:

1) Keyword research, I suggested natural weight loss pills
2) Focus on that keyword only.
3) Get backlinks using that keyword in the anchor text.

Quite simple. There is no theory, just go and get the backlinks, you will start seeing rankings in MSN, then slowly in Yahoo and finally in Google. This takes 1-2 months depends on how many backlinks you get and how fast you get them.

Remember you can then outsource forum posting.
