SE and Backlinks
2008-01-07 17:06:00
Most commercial search engines provide a mechanism to determine the number of backlinks they have recorded to a particular web page. Google frequently only shows a subset of all existing backlinks to a web page, possibly because of the network costs of providing this information and to avoid exposing the inner-workings of their ranking algorithms. Yahoo!’s Site Explorer and Microsoft's Live Search may give more accurate backlink counts. Google has recently added a new webmaster tool which allows webmasters to view more backlinks to their websites Search engines often use the number of backlinks that a website has as one of the factors for determining that website's search engine ranking. For example, Google's PageRank algorithm uses backlinks to help determine a site's rank (the Google Toolbar can be used to view the PageRank of a web page). Therefore, websites often employ various techniques (called search engine optimization) to increase the number of backlinks pointing to t...

Ebook authors do joint ventures with website owners and newsletter publishers not just to sell products, but also to get a huge rush of website visitors and to col ect email addresses.Consider how most ebook authors do joint ventures. They write a book or create a product, contact a few dozen newsletter publishers giving them a review copy and ask them to promote the book for a generous share of the revenue.Depending on the quality of the preselling and the quality of the sites salesletter, about 90 to 99% of the people who arrive at the site leave without buying anything.What a dreadful waste of hard-earned traffic!More cunning marketers create an email capture or NameSqueeze page. They give away a useful free report or mini-course.

Features of RSS
2007-12-16 11:29:00
We can define RSS more technically as a lightweight, topical, metadata and syndication format. Let us look into each feature to get a vivid picture: Lightweight: This is a very important feature looked upon by many users as one of the reasons to prefer RSS tool. RSS is very small, in the sense – it requires less space, usually less than a hundred kilobytes of space. RSS files are XMLdocuments, which can be written using any text editor (Word, notepad, emacs, vi etc) very easily. Topical: RSS highlights what you think is important on your page and that would be the contents seen by the other readers. For example, if you are a news organization, you may want to focus on the latest headlines, if you are a businessman you may want to showcase about your products or if you are a publisher you may want to throw light on your latest book releases. Metadata: Metadata is the information about your data. You can embed details about your data in your RSS file. For example, who wrote the arti...

It used to read like this...OK, with these key ideas in mind, lets move on...This sentence would be OK in the real world, but it contains no words of any importance or relevance to our topic. The sentence was edited to contain pertinent words relating to increasing website traffic and now reads like this...OK, with these key ideas in mind, lets move on to sending more people to your website.

There are many different methods to do this that I will not go into every methodbecause it would take 2 years to write it all out .Use proper anchor text.

Guide to Blogging

Start in the Beginning:The first step in blog traffic building is accepting the fact that you will have to work for your traffic. No one is going to do it for you. No one is going to help you. Your blog is your baby and you are a single parent, solely responsible for it's growth. Are you okay with that? Do you accept the burdens? Yes? Good! Okay, let's move forward. Blog traffic building begins, just like a magazine, by creating something worth reading. You would never go out and hand out copies of your fanzine if it had only one or two articles in it. Before we even talk about finding readers for your blog you have to ask whether the readers you are chasing will read your blog once they get there. Is your blog AMAZING? Do you have great content? Do you even know what great content is? Take a good look at your blog and review whether your starting content is worthy enough to capture and retain the attention of readers. If you just switched the "on" button for your blog t...

I didn't, I had to earn my traffic the hard way. Blog ging is like starting your own print fanzine. First you put the hard work in, gather a collection of articles, images and other content and launch your new publication.
