10 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions
1. Participate in chat rooms related to the product you're reselling. Start a conversation with a person without trying to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting, mention the product you're reselling.
2. Create a free ebook with the advertisement and link of your affiliate web site. The subject of the free ebook should draw your target audience to down- load it. Also submit it to some ebook directories.
3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join a large number of affiliate programs and list them all in a directory format on your web site. Then just advertise your free affiliate program directory.
4. Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the other affiliates use the same ads you do, that does not give you an edge over your competition. Use a different ad to give yourself an advantage over all the other affiliates.
5. Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if you've actually bought the product or service for the affiliate program. Tell people what kind of benefits and results you've received using the product.
6. Advertise the product you're reselling in your signature file. Use an attention getting headline and a good reason for them to visit your affiliate site. Make sure your sig file doesn't go over 5 lines.
7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type of people that would be interested in buying the product you're reselling. You could also trade links on your own with other related web sites.
8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your comments, answer other people's questions, and ask your own questions. Include your affiliate text link under each message you post.
9. Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise the affiliate programs you've joined. Submit your ezine to online ezine directories and promote it on your web site.
10. Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus if people buy the product you resell. You could also allow people to join for free and you could advertise the affiliate program you've joined.

10 Tips To Help You Create Your Own Money Making Affiliate Program
10 Tips To Help You Create Your Own Money Making Affiliate Program
1. View your affiliate program as a partnership between you and your affiliates, and make it your priority to develop good relationships between you and your affiliate sales force.
2. Answer any questions your visitors or affiliates have about your affiliate program in a fast and friendly manner.
Remember that nothing will turn your affiliates or visitors off of your affiliate program faster than an unanswered email. Your affiliates must know that you take them and the effort they make to promote your business seriously.
3. Track all of your affiliates' sales accurately and fairly.
Your affiliates should be able to earn commissions on their referrals even if their referral comes back months, or even a year later and makes a purchase.
4. Save time and money by making your affiliate program, like your business, as automated as possible.
Your affiliate program software should allow you to automatically notify your affiliates by email whenever they've made a sale, referred a new affiliate if your affiliate program is two-tier, as well as show your affiliates how many hits, sales, and commissions they've generated in real time.
5. Attract more affiliates by paying a high commission, offering a two-tier commission structure, paying commissions on repeat customers, or by giving your affiliates the opportunity to earn residual commissions if you provide a service that is paid for on a subscription basis.
6. Give your affiliates plenty of resources that they can use to promote your products.
This could include your own marketing courses that your affiliates can give away to their visitors or subscribers, ad copy that you've found has produced sales for you, ebooks that they can rebrand with their affiliate URL, or sample recommendations of your products.
7. Publish a newsletter for your affiliates that gives them tips on how to best promote your products, tells them of any sales or promotions you have running, and that reminds them of the resources you've provided for them to promote your products.
8. Increase your top affiliates productivity by paying them a higher commission for their referrals based on their performance, and by giving them special recognition on your site or in your affiliate newsletter.
Giving your affiliates special recognition in your newsletter can also serve to teach your newer affiliates how to successfully promote your products, as well as show them by example that the tools you've given them do work effectively.
9. If you write articles, let your affiliates publish them in their ezines or on their websites with their affiliate URL in your resource box.
This can be an excellent way for your affiliates to earn commissions promoting your products through your resource box while also further building up credibility for you and your business.
10. To increase the number of affiliates that consistently use your articles to promote your products, create a mailing list (in addition to your affiliate newsletter) that your affiliates can subscribe to that tells them when you've written new articles that they can use to promote your services.

10 Things WalMart Teaches About Affiliate Marketing
10 Things WalMart Teaches About Affiliate Marketing
We already know about wal mart because of their ads in local papers, on billboards, on the radio and TV. So finding a local Wal Mart is easy, and so should it also be easy to find your web site. Although you may not need to use radio and TV advertisements, you should still use offline promotion such as business cards or direct mail. Naturally, you want other web sites to put your billboard ad onto theirs. So that's our first lesson on how Wal Mart can teach us effective affiliate marketing. Now let's visit a Wal Mart store.
Once we arrive at Wal Mart, we enter a huge parking lot. Your web site must also enable a lot of visitors. If your site is on a slow server, you may be losing customers. That's lesson #2.
As soon as we enter Wal Mart, we are welcomed by a Wal Mart greeter. This greeter not only welcomes us to the store, but also offers help in pointing out where to find what you're looking for. That's lesson 3a and 3b. Your site should welcome visitors and provide navigation to all the products and services you offer. You can do this by simply including a graphic on your page that says "Welcome, Click Here to find what you're looking for" and have that link go to your site map.
Beyond the greeter is a wide path that branches out to different areas of the store with banners overhead that tell you what you can find in those areas. Your site map should consist of main links, as well as sub-links to corresponding pages. Now we get to lesson 4, that each page of your site needs to have a topic, a main header, that defines what each page is about, as well as provide links, pathways to corresponding pages, because you'll notice that Wal-Mart arranges their store to group products that are similar. The hardware section is near the automotive center, housewares are near food items, lawn and garden items are near the hardware and pet supply areas, etc. But you can still get from one area to another.
As you browse the shelves, you see more than one type of item. If you're in the grocery section; for example, you'll see many different types of beans. Canned beans, dry beans, even beans from different companies. That's lesson #5. You should offer your site visitors more than one choice. If your site offers auto loans, for example, offer your visitors new auto loans, used auto loans, even auto refinancing loans. And, you may want to offer them more than one choice for each type of auto loan. Afterall, visitors came to your site because they are shopping around... so let them shop and choose from multiple options. Just remember not to stick cheese products in your automotive section!
Another thing you'll notice as you browse the shelves, which leads us to lesson #6... although the shelves are stocked full, it's still easy to pick out your favorite can of beans. This is because the shelves are stocked neatly and orderly. The ads you put onto your site should also be neat and orderly. Mixing in tall banners with short banners and having banners for totally different products and services can make shopping your site more difficult. For example, if you have a page about auto loans, you wouldn't want to put a tall auto loan banner right next to a short casino banner. Instead, put a tall auto insurance banner next to the tall auto loan banner.
As you roam the store, you frequently encounter employess who can help you find items. This goes back to lessons 3a and 3b. Each page of your site should have a help link to your site map, or you should have a site search.
Since Wal Mart makes it easy to find an employee to ask for assistance, that leads us to another lesson: Does you site offer customer service? Can visitors click on a button to ask you questions before they make a decision? Or do they simply exit your site?
Lesson #7: How many times have you heard announcements in Wal Mart? They frequently announce specials over their public address system. We are not suggesting that you force visitors to endure slow loading sound files. But you can make sound an option. To see how you can use this marketing option, go to www.geocities.com/pulsarmarketing
We have an example there on how you can offer your visitors the option to hear your audible promotion without forcing them to listen and making your pages load slow. All you have to do is create a wav sound file, and launch it by using a graphic or text link such as: "Click Here to listen to our promotion".
The personal touch of a person's voice on your site can help increase your conversions. But don't force the loading of sound files. Instead, use the method we recommend at the URL below:
www.geocities.com/pulsarmarketing
Another thing you can do to tell your site visitors about specials or new products and services your site offers, is to offer them a free subscription to your newsletter. Now that we've toured Wal Mart and we're ready to make our purchase, we know our way to the checkout counter because Wal Mart makes it easy for us. That's lesson #8. Your site needs to make it easy for visitors to purchase. If you do not provide any of your own products or services and strictly use affiliate programs, you need to make sure your relevant banners and text links are at the top of the page, clearly and readily visible, to the people visiting that page.
When we arrive at the checkout counter, besides asking us if we want paper or plastic and if we will be purchasing with cash or credit, the cashier asks if we found everything we needed. That's lesson #9. Make sure you offer your site visitors more options when they checkout. And, once again, if you do not directly sell your own products or services and you strictly use affiliate programs, you can offer your site visitors two links to click on: One link that opens the offer into a new window so the person may continue browsing your site after they are done applying or buying from your sponsor, and another link that simply goes directly to the sponsor in the same window.
Think we're done learning from Wal Mart? No. After we make our purchase, and even after we go home, there's lesson #10... the return policy. If you sell your own products or services, you need to assure your visitors that you stand behind what you sell, and make your return policy very clear. If you do not sell your own products and services, does your site have a way for customers to resolve problems, or to ask pre-sale questions? If not, you may lose customers to sites that do provide online customer service.

10 Steps to Build Affiliate Programs
10 Steps to Build Affiliate Programs
Do you operate an affiliate program? Are you are a member of an affiliate program? What you are about to read will elevate your affiliate endeavors to a whole new level. Following these ten simple steps will magnify your online presence and help you build an army of affiliates.
1. Don't put all your affiliates in one basket. There are a number of affiliate forums and it is important to establish presence at a good cross section of forums. Naturally, you will connect with the people on one board more than another so it is inevitable that one forum will become your "online home" as you develop relationships with the other forum members . Having friends does have benefits. Need a logo? Well, more than likely there are several web designers who are active on the forums. The work might not be free it is likely that you will get a better deal than one that would be offered to a "stranger".
2. Post early and often. On a forum your post count is often a status symbol. You might own Google but if you have never posted on a particular forum you look like another spammer looking to make a buck. So get involved! You don't have to spend all day, every day on the forum but at least make a post or two a week. It is important to put some time in to build credibility.
3. Signature first, promote second. Put your site in your signature. Even if they have an announcement section don't go plugging your site. If they are curious they will check your signature. Example: Hi, I'm Dave I run spyprofits.com be sure to check it out. Better example: Hi, I'm Dave nice forum you have here, glad I found it. Many forum members are turned off by the hard sell. It is best to ingratiate yourself with the forum, build relationships, and let the business come to you.
4. Offer knowledge and advice freely. Most questions can be answered with a proper Google search. Spend a few minutes to find an answer. If you do SEO and there is another SEO on the board agree with them if they make a good point. You will have made a new friend and the questionnaire gets a second opinion for free. If your wrong, admit it. This will increase make you more likable and adds to your credibility.
5. Spell check it. Give all your posts a once over. If you can't spell try Google or spellcheck.net. Grammar is on a lesser level but is still important. Don't over do it, but if you want to sound smart you should at least know how to spell.
6. Be nice! People are going to argue and disagree. If you can help it, don't get involved. Remember you are there on business so keep it professional.
7. Search it! Most forums have a search feature. Use it before you ask a question. Some places get the same questions over and over. If you still need an answer place a reference to the previous post. This way everyone knows you looked around before you posted. This will put another likable notch on your belt.
8. Study group dynamics. Learn who is who. Bob might be Neal's brother. And since Neal's the moderator it's in your best business interest to stay on Neal's good side. Remember this IS business. You are at an affiliate forum to make money. If you want to talk about movies go to a movie forum. While it's good to know some of each other's personal interests, you do not want to alienate other members. Avoid controversial subjects such as politics and religion. These subjects usually cause divisiveness within the forum. It is never a good idea to engage a potential business partner in a controversial discussion.
9. Be an expert in your field. If you promote SEO and someone asks an seo question you should help out as much as you can without giving away your product. If it's your product you should be able to lead them into buying it without saying "Buy it now". Leave some open ends on your answer. At some places newbies have a real hard time getting questions answered. Reach out to them and create a new prospect. Again, you don't know if they are the next Cory Rudl.
10. Lead by example! The best way to get your army moving is to lead by example. Today I'm going to go over how to make a spyprofits.com review site. Does anyone want to trade links and improve our Search engine ranking? How about starting a collective Adwords campaign from scratch? Discuss individual secrets to gathering keywords.. Give updates on how the campaign is doing. The conversion ratio/ ROI etc. The key is be very detailed; hold their hand. Answer questions promptly. This technique modifies the old phrase "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." You can however put a funnel in the horses mouth and pour the water in. Would you rather have 100% of 200 dollars or 20% or 2000 dollars.
Using these simple tips can increase your forum presence, build your program's image in the affiliate marketing community, and create invaluable business relationships. Visit eWealth Now and Learn!

10 Sizzling Tips For Affiliates
10 Sizzling Tips For Affiliates
category : Business:Affiliate-Revenue
1. Create an infopacked mini site. Build your mini site for a specific niche audience and then choose affiliate programs specifically for that niche audience.
2. Test and track your ads and promotions for your affiliate programs.
Tracking and testing your ads will show you exactly which ads, promotions and affiliate programs pay off the most for you and are excellent choices for you to continue to promote.
3. Publish an ezine.
Your ezine will give you a powerful way to promote your affiliate programs to your subscribers.
Choose affiliate programs that relate to the content of your ezine and that make it worth your while to promote them.
4. Promote your affiliate programs by recommending their products.
You could recommend your affiliate programs to your ezine subscribers in your publisher's note or you could create a recommended resources section where you promote your affiliate programs in every issue.
You could also recommend your affiliate programs to your visitors by creating a recommended affiliate programs section where you list your favorite affiliate programs along with descriptions of their products or services.
In addition, you could create a best affiliate programs section that helps you build up your second tier by listing the affiliate programs that have paid off the most for you.
5. Write product reviews where you detail the benefits you like about your affiliate program's product.
Make your product reviews honest and hype f~ree and post them on your site along with your other articles.
6. Write your own ads for your affiliate program.
A good way to create your ads is to look at the ad copy on the site of the business you want to promote and also ads they provide for their affiliates to use, and use their unique selling proposition or USP to write your ads.
Their unique selling proposition is a unique benefit that they promote in their ad copy that their competitors don't stress or offer to their visitors.
It could be that their product saves lots of time, is easy to understand, that their product is a complete answer to a problem, or it could involve their price.
Some businesses develop more than one USP so you'll be able to choose the one that you think works best in getting more targeted visitors to their site.

9. Create a directory.
Your directory could be an article, ezine, ebook or affiliate program directory.
List your own resources within your directory to increase your commissions. For example, you could add your own affiliate programs to your affiliate programs directory or your ebooks to your ebook directory.

You could also provide a tutorial on the subject of your directory, or add things to your directory that your visitors can use on a regular basis to get more repeat traffic.
10. Run ezine ads for your affiliate programs.
You could purchase sponsor, feature, classified or solo ads for your affiliate program.
Choose ezines with subscribers targeted to be interested in the products of the business you want to promote.
Run your ads for multiple issues in a row when possible to maximize the profit you get from your ads.
You can also run f~ree ads in ezines as many ezines offer
f~ree advertising on a weekly, monthly or per issue basis to
get more new subscriptions.

10 Independent Affiliate Programs You Should Look at
10 Independent Affiliate Programs You Should Look at
Not all of the good affiliate programs go through the big boys. As you can imagine, there are advantages and disadvantages to using someone like Linkshare or Commission Junction to run your program. The major disadvantages seem to be cost (expect to drop ten grand for setup and network access fees, and a 30% commission on what you make from the program) and the fact that your program will be lost among thousands of others.
So many companies have decided to manage their own affiliate programs, using specialized software and with their own promotional plans (30% buys a lot of Adsense). I surfed the ten most popular independent affiliate program directories, and I??ve listed ten of the more promising programs.
Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend or endorse any program here. All I know is that I reviewed the listing, visited the website and decided that it was genuine (rather than a bunch of ads or links and/or a Clickbank or other program??s front site).

Here's a good Google tip: type in the word or phrase that describes the affilate program keyword, then include +affiliate. For example, if you're looking for a dog toys affiliate you would search dog toys +affiliate. You should get back a bunch of programs.
Happy hunting.

1. Develop credible, benefit rich ad copy, along with a well designed site to increase your sign ups, and also your affiliates' conversion rates.
2. Submit your affiliate program to directories that list affiliate programs.
These directories attract lots of people interested in joining affiliate programs, and will increase your sign ups by giving you good ongoing promotion of your affiliate program.
3. Pay your affiliates well for promoting your products.
Offering your affiliates a high commission rate for their referrals of your products will increase the number of affiliates that join your affiliate program and also help you to better compete with other businesses for affiliates.
To make your affiliate program even more appealing to your visitors, pay residual commissions if you sell a product or service that your customers pay for on an ongoing basis such as webhosting or access to your private members only site.

Track phone orders and mail in orders. Only offer payment options to your customers that your affiliates will get paid a commission on if they refer that customer to you.
In addition, pay your affiliates promptly for the sales they refer to you. Don't make your affiliates wait months to receive their checks from you or set minimum payment requirements that are too high for the majority of your affiliates to meet.
5. Provide your affiliates with resources that they can use to get more sales of your products such as ads, banners, button ads, and sample recommendations.
Also include promotional items such as marketing courses that your affiliates can use to promote your products or ebooks that they can rebrand with their affiliate URL.
If you write articles allow your affiliates to run these in their ezines or post them on their sites with their affiliate URLs in your resource box.
6. Answer any questions you get about your affiliate program from your visitors or affiliates as quickly as you can.
Remember that nothing will turn your visitors or affiliates off of your affiliate program faster than an unanswered email. Strive to answer all your emails quickly and in a professional and friendly manner.

You could provide a message board or chat room where your affiliates can interact with one another, and learn more about how to successfully promote your products.

DIRECTORY SUBMISSION FOR SEO
Directory Submission for SEO
By Nathan Park
With the rise in popularity of search engines as a channel for consumers and businesses to seek information, service providers and retailers; companies are now looking towards search engine optimization as a low risk, high return investment.
Marketing through search engines provides two opportunities for businesses: paid search / pay-per-click (PPC) or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) / Search Engine Placement. With many offerings, and little cohesion the search engine marketing industry is open to much criticism through the lack of knowledge that buyers have of the industry.
The purpose of http://www.submitinme.com/why-submitinme_SE.asp is somewhat different from how a layman may interpret it. Yes, it provides direct traffic through links, however the main advantage of http://www.submitinme.com/searchengine-submission-service.asp and where the return on investment is gained, comes in the form of the hyper-links to the company website. These links are indexed by search engines and therefore result in the search engines increasing the position of the website that has links pointing towards it.
However, like everything to do with internet marketing, it is not that simple. The links have to be formatted in a particular way to offer the greatest increase in search engine positioning.
Your description should contain keywords that will help search engine traffic come across your website. If your website offers "dog training tips" then include words such as "dog training info", "dog training", "how to train your dog" within any description the directory allows you to include.
Check the formatting of the link where your website will be placed. For best results, the link URL will be formatted like www.example.com/web_design_companies_11.htm rather than with a "question mark" within the URL. Also, check the google page rank of the homepage and internal pages to get an indication of the results you will attain from the link. Please remember that a link from a PR0 page still has a PR of at least the dampening factor, and may even be nearer to PR1.
Remember that you should include "www" on every link. If you enter the URL example.com instead of www.example.com then this could lead to poorer results in the search engine results pages.
Decide upon anchor text that will represent terms that you would like traffic to find you with through the search engine results pages. If for example your company retails "software" then use "Software Shop" or "Software Retailer" as your anchor text.
http://www.submitinme.com/searchengine-submission-service.asp is a service that provides almost certain results for businesses. Businesses are finding that through submitting to 500 directories, a Google Page Rank of 3 could be the result, as well as direct traffic.

Keyword selection can be a challenge to both experts and neophytes. While anyone can come up with various words that may be used when searching for their product or service, these words may not be the ideal mix for search engine ranking. Why? If a marketer chooses popular keyword phrases, he or she and a million other businesses compete for top placement. Top search engine ranking page (SERP) placement is dense, searchers typically giving up after the first three pages. To succeed, one must use relevant keywords or keyword phrases that are not being used by everyone else and that are searched for quite often. This may include misspellings and other alternative data. After finding relevant keywords and phrases, the results must encourage conversion or success based on each business' criteria. For example, while it may be possible for a DVD rental firm to get top listings under the search criteria "free DVD rentals", the person who visits is looking for free merchandise and will leave if its not found.
For optimal search engine rankings, a page will be optimized for only one to two popular but non-competitive keywords or keyword phrases.
Keyword Coding
HTML coding are two words most people never want to hear, especially in a learning environment. But it's important to understand the basic web page header structure and where the search engines look to find key words for search engine ranking pages (SERP).
Sites rank highest when each page is optimized separately. For instance, a business may have one website with unlimited interlinking pages. The top page must be named "index.HTML." While each sub-page may be named according to the designer or programmer's preference. Ideally sub-pages are named according to the strongest keywords or keyword phrases for each business. Both the domain name and the URL or complete web address string, are important factors in determining search engine relevancy
Three important META tags are on each individual HTML page located between the "head" tags: description, keywords and title. The webpage description is the short sentence that displays after the listing name is the SERP's. The keywords are not viewed by the casual surfer, but offer a clear-cut description of what is found on the website or who's behind it. The title is the most condensed of all metatags. The title should repeat the top 1-2 keywords and describe what the site is about.
We can take the keyword theme as far as necessary, yet success through search engine optimization is not a 100% guaranteed way to gain top rankings and can often dilute the site and information quality by becoming a string of repetitive keywords, not value-added information. Some of these tactics include adding pages of keyword-rich articles solely to rank high. Another is developing a mini-empire of interrelated sites not for expert information, but solely to make the sites appear more important and relevant to the main site focus.
To ensure a small 30-page website is optimized, it must first renew keyword use each month to find the most popular terms for the three major search engines, Yahoo!, Google and MSN. Each page must be optimized for different but interdependent terms to strengthen the site as a whole. This involves new keyword research and website content for each page every month.
An example of a good ecommerce site using paid advertising instead of keyword optimization is buy automotive.com. Notice the content is relevant to the visitor entering and seeking the product. In contract, auto anything.com, a competitor site, relies heavily on keyword content, uses text that has no purpose and confuses the visitor with too many navigation links and useless words meant for search engines alone. Though this may gain rankings with work and keyword saturation, it can also damage a business reputation and ultimately lead to less sales.
Needless to say there are far more aspects to choosing the right keywords than I can cover in this article but the information provided here should give you a good insight into understanding how important it is to design a website that is keyword friendly.
Let's face it, there is no magic bullet when it comes to successfully promoting your online business. There are pros and cons to almost everything you do. If you never develop a plan and put that plan into motion, you'll never know if that's the plan that will ultimately be the "magic bullet" that launches your online business to new found success.
Do give up! If at first you don't succeed, TRY, TRY, AGAIN! There is a lot to learn when starting a online business. Give yourself a break and don't set unrealistic goals. Contrary to popular beliefs, having a successful, profit making, online business doesn't happen overnight.

Search engines are the #1 tool people use when shopping for products, services or information online. Optimize your website with the proper keywords or keyword phrases for your content and watch your traffic explode. If you gain an understanding of how to properly promote your website your efforts will reach it's full potential.
To rank relevantly within search engine results, each website must be considered relevant to a particular search algorithm for a given keyword or keyword phrase. Keyword selection can be a challenge to both experts and neophytes.

HOW INTERNET INCOME TRAINING IMPROVES
How Internet Income Training Improves Your Chance Of Success Online
By Cynthia Minnaar
Daily more and more people are turning to the internet in the hope of finding a way to make some extra money or to replace their full time income.
There is the common misconception that it is easy to make an income online and newcomers to the internet arena are not always familiar with what it takes to make web income and therefore fail to look for an online home business opportunity that provides internet income training or to fully commit to the first vital step of completing and implementing the training.
These surfers are using search terms such as, inter alia, online home business ideas, how to start an online home business, how to generate income from the web, way to make an income online, work at home online ideas, internet income from home and legitimate online business, which is an indication that they are in need of internet income training.
Those failing to take advantage of the training that is provided with legitimate online home business opportunities, contribute to the high percentage of people who quit a program before they have hardly got started or waste a considerable amount of money jumping from one program to the next looking for that non-existent get rich quick scheme.

It actually is not surprising that many do think this way as the internet is full of programs that do promise the earth.
When you start an online home business you are going to need all the help that you can get. You need to give yourself every chance of success so why skip the opportunity to learn what is required to build your business? Such as learning html in order to make changes to your website, how to launch a blog and start attracting free traffic, write good adverts, write and publish articles, use an autoresponder, start a linking campaign, optimize your website for the search engines to achieve high rankings and attract free targeted traffic, learn successful internet marketing tactics as well as have access to a forum where you can get all the help you need plus access to valuable online home business marketing tools.

SEO HOW TO GET BACKLINKS
Seo:- How to get backlinks
By Andrew Briggs
Getting backlinks is one of the most important things you need to do to get your new site noticed.
The more backlinks you have the easier it is for search engines to find you, and they find you more often the more you have. But for new webmasters finding out how to get backlinks can be quite confusing.
In this blog entry i will tell of a few methods you can use to encourage other sites to link to you.
Submit to Directories
There are a lot of free web directories on the net now and there are an equal number of sites that list free web directories.
So your first step should be to visit every directory here and here and submit your link to every free web directory you can find.
Link Exchanges
If you are taking part in reciprocal link exchanges it is important that you 1) Exchange links only with related sites. If a site has nothing to do with your site a reciprocal backlink from it will serve little to no purpose and 2) Do not mass mail webmasters. If there is one thing that will guarantee i will ignore you it is if i receive an email that has been BCC'ed to a thousand other webmasters. You could also get other webmaster to ask for a link exchange by putting a contact form on your site and letting people know you are open for link exchanges.
Link Baiting
Link baiting is when you post something controversial, a flame or something very interesting on your site with the intention of getting people to blog about it or post it on forums. Link baiting is sometimes seen as "spam" but take no notice of that, It's not, People are choosing to link to you, It's upto them.
Providing Quality Content
This is my favorite way to get backlinks. Make a good site with good content.
If there is one thing people like, and like to link to, it is a good site.
Posting on forums
I am hesitant to include this suggestion, But i will, and i will explain exactly what i mean.
When i say by posting on forums read it as 'join a forum and contribute'. It does not mean join a forum, spam your link 50 times and then leave. Most forums allow you to include a signature in your posts so it's an easy way to get backlinks. If you become a trusted regular poster it will also mean you get a lot of traffic from these backlinks. Spamming not only make you look like an amateur, But it will be deleted that same day by a moderator, Probably before a google bot even gets to see it.
RSS Feeds
RSS feeds allow you to syndicate your content. This means other sites display your content on their pages via a feed which includes a backlink to the original article or page. So you could syndicate us ;)
Submit Articles
If you know a lot about the area you work in (as you should) then writing articles could be very beneficial. Every time you write and submit an article that is one backlink, and the good thing about articles is they are often copied and used on other article sites, sent in news letters or posted on forums, Each time this happens you get another backlink.
Provide a link to me code
Put a page on your site that contains link to me code. This will be HTML code that people just have to cut and paste into their site to link to you. But don't use all text. Provide a few banners, some buttons, Be creative. Sometimes if people are trying to find filler for their site they will be more than happy to include your sexy looking banner or button on their page.
The trick is to make it easy for people to link to you.
Buy Text Links
If you have money set aside for your advertising you can also Buy Text Links from companies such as LinkWorth, Also good if you want to make money and sell text links.

5 EASY TRAFFIC BOOSTING TECHNIQUES
5 Easy Traffic Boosting Techniques You Can Do Now!
By Steve Vickers
I have read information in eBooks, on forums, in hard copy and in every other format you can imagine about websites and how they get traffic. Try this little experiment: Go to Google or Yahoo which ever search engine you prefer and perform a search for your favorite topic. Now look at the top 10 listings (not the ones that are sponsor ads or in the paid advertising links on the side) but the ones that are real results. Now go to each one of those sites and what do you notice they have in common?
Rich Content! That's right each one of those sites in the top rankings has plenty of content for you to read through. Sure they will have ads on their page but they provide you with good quality information.
And let's face it that's what each of us wants when we do a search right. We want rich content. So how do you constantly provide rich content to your visitors? Well read on my friend and discover how you can boost traffic to your site by providing rich website content.
Do you publish an ezine? If you do; Index each issue that you send on your site in an archive folder. This will provide your site with a constant feed of keyword rich content to your site.
If you don't already have one; put an articles page on your site. If you are practicing basic website promotion techniques you should already be writing articles and submitting them to directories. Well Archive these same articles on your site and provide a link to each of them from your new articles page. And if you are a subscriber to industry related ezines and you come across an article you like; add it to your page! Just remember to give credit where credit is due.
OK this one is really easy. And it only requires you copy a few lines of code to one of your pages. Add Free Syndicated Content Feeds to the articles page you have created. You will have a constant stream of new articles to supply to your readers.
Here are 2 of my favorites:
http://www.submityourarticle.com/syndicate/ http://www.web-source.net/syndicator.htm
For an example of what this looks like check out my page:
http://www.info-from-us.com/articles.html
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. No I am not talking about you generating traffic to your site through an ad campaign. I am talking about PPC ads on your site. You can create web pages around specific keywords which relate to the theme of your site. Then add a PPC feed to your page and voila you now have an ad campaign working to provide an additional source of income for you, because you get paid for every time a visitor (not you) clicks on an ad on your page. 2 of my favorites are Google Adsense and SearchFeed.
Linking! Linking! Linking! Do I need to say it again? If you haven't already done this then start now. One way links and reciprocal links help build traffic to your site. There are a number of was to get this accomplished but I would suggest starting now! It is a great way to continually add content to your site and build links pointing back to your site. I recommend starting out with Links Manager. You can check them out here:
http://www.linksmanager.com
I will go into more detail about the different types of links and how to get this accomplished properly. Use your imagination. Continue to think of new and easy ways to keep adding fresh content to your website. Go to Google and do a search for "Fresh Content For My Website" without the Quotation marks. Currently there are Over 6.5 million results that come up. Everything from cut and paste charts, to RSS feeds and a whole lot more.
Like I said in the beginning; "Content Really Is King". In my own personal experience I have found my position with the search engines improve dramatically when I started building web pages and adding more fresh content.
It takes time at first to get things going, but the payoff in the long run is huge when the search engines reward your effort and your traffic and income grow proportionally as well.

THE BEST KIND OF LINKS FOR YOUR WEB SITES
The Best Kind Of Links For Your Web Sites
By Terry Detty
Links can make or break a web site. In other words the lack of them can greatly hamper the progress and success of any site.
Links to a web site play two major roles. Firstly they direct immediate traffic from the site where they are located to the target web site. Secondly, they improve a web sites' ranking. If you get to the top ranks of a popular keywords search phrase, it could mean huge free traffic for a long time to come.
Marketing Companies such as Majon.com (one of the oldest Internet Marketing companies on the planet)have plenty of services that provide you with one-way links.
You just need to take a closer look at any high traffic successful web site and you will immediately notice that they tend to have a very high number of links pointing towards them. It is not too difficult to get this kind of information on any web site and there are a host of options available. You can for instance use the Google search engine by entering the complete address of the site and then after you get the results, clicking on the link that says, "web sites linking to this site." Other tools for measuring the number of links to a site include the Technorati.com site and a host of other sites and available software.
Some webmasters usually work very hard at swapping links with other sites (reciprocal links). Unfortunately this is considered to be a very inferior kind of link by search engines. While reciprocal links may be useful at driving traffic towards a web site, they will tend to have a very minimal impact on a web sites' ranking with search engines. It is clear that search engines are increasingly giving much lower significance and weight to reciprocal links.
Actually what any web site really needs are lots of that point at it. One of the easiest and quickest way of getting such links is to purchase them through a reputable web site or business that will purchase links at various relevant sites. The advantage is that links are purchased once and are usually more or less permanent.

Links can make or break a web site. In other words the lack of them can greatly hamper the progress and success of any site.
Links to a web site play two major roles. Firstly they direct immediate traffic from the site where they are located to the target web site. Secondly, they improve a web sites' ranking. If you get to the top ranks of a popular keywords search phrase, it could mean huge free traffic for a long time to come.
Marketing Companies such as Majon.com (one of the oldest Internet Marketing companies on the planet)have plenty of services that provide you with one-way links.
You just need to take a closer look at any high traffic successful web site and you will immediately notice that they tend to have a very high number of links pointing towards them. It is not too difficult to get this kind of information on any web site and there are a host of options available. You can for instance use the Google search engine by entering the complete address of the site and then after you get the results, clicking on the link that says, "web sites linking to this site." Other tools for measuring the number of links to a site include the Technorati.com site and a host of other sites and available software.

HOW TO EXPLODE YOUR WEBSITE TRAFFIC WITH FREE VIRAL REPORTS
How to Explode Your Website Traffic With Free Viral Reports
By Daryl Campbell
One of the best ways to do viral marketing is the creation of viral reports which can be freely passed on by you to another person with added benefits to both parties.
How does it work?
Aside from having an interesting topic and a wealth of information, the viral reports contain links to the site and products you are offering. These links can be modified from one person to another by changing the affiliate ID in the link. While these links, known as rebranding, still lead to your website, credit will also be given to the affiliate in the form of commission or whatever arrangement you have worked out previously. By offering an incentive your customers will have more of a reason to pass around your viral report.
That's where the viral explosion begins.
You can maximize your viral report, and get an explosion of traffic along with a huge number of subscribers. Keep these factors in mind when promoting your viral report.
- Wide distribution. There are several ways on how you can offer your report. You can offer it for free or for a minimal amount. If you allow rebranding, you can also charge for it and have options such as full customization or just part customization rights. Resale rights can also be offered for a certain fee.
Be careful with this. If your report comes with a price tag its spread will be limited. Not everyone is willing to spend money on your reports. To get the widest possible reach of your report, it is best to offer it for free along with the rebranding rights. What you are after is for your report to reach a huge number of potential customers and get the most commission from the attached affiliate links.
- Quality affiliate links. To be able to maximize your report and give its full potential, it should have good and legitimate affiliate links. But how do you make the readers really click on those links?
If your report bombards the readers with lots of affiliate links instead of quality information, they will probably stop reading your book, deletes it and forgets about it. Likewise, if the links lead to affiliate products which are totally not related to the report theme, you will just lose a good number of potential customers.
The best way to include the affiliate links in your report is to make them appear as natural as the other statements in your book. Try to weave them into the content in such a way that it is not obvious to the eyes of your readers. For example, when you want to readers to learn more about a certain topic discussed on your report, you can then mention the link as a source of additional information.
- Maximum return for all parties involved. Since you want wide distribution of your report, you will offer it for free as well as the rebranding rights. But what will you benefit from it? Of course, just the fact that people will sign up as an affiliate for them to be able to rebrand the links with their own codes means that you will gain more and more subscribers to your list.
Having more and more people who would want to rebrand the links means that more chances of your report getting distributed to others because of the incentives these people would gain. And the more people who will get to receive your report, the more traffic you will get on your site.
It wouldn't really matter now if you are not earning from the rebranding rights. What is more important is the increased traffic and subscribers you will get which will eventually lead to more and more sales and success for your business.

BENEFITS OF ARTICLES SUBMISSION IN SEO
Benefits of Articles Submission in SEO
By Amit Kothiyal
Article submission is a great resource for increasing traffic to your website and also getting one way links back to your site. There are a lot of article directories on the web that accept articles for a variety of categories. It is important however, to pick a category that directly relates to the content of your website. This is an effective marketing method referred to as targeting visitors to your web site.
It is also important to understand when submitting your articles, that a massive amount of articles are submitted to popular article sites and directories. For this reason, only some of the articles that are submitted actually generate a significant amount of traffic to their respective websites. The most important question to ask yourself is: what unique information can I provide that will be of the most value to my readers?
Here are some additional important things to consider before you begin your article-submission endeavors in order attract readers to your articles and ultimately get a large amount of traffic to your website:
1) Provide valuable content! Always be asking yourself, would I want to read this? Then take it one step further and ask yourself: after reading this article, would I feel enlightened in such a way that I would be motivated to do something that I would not otherwise have known how to do? By answering this question, you are evaluating what is referred to as your "call to action". Good writing influences the reader's behavior.
2) Your article's content should not be too long, so keep it short. If you have large article content, then try to split them into two or more separate articles.
3) Try to keep your article title short as well, and make sure it is directly related to the contents of the article.
4) Make sure to keep your article title very close to the main keywords of your website as well. As per my experience, keep article titles short and close to the keywords of your website, Google will place far more value to the article's contents in comparison to your competitor's websites with the same keywords as you.
For example: If you had a web site related to hemorrhoids diseases and we wanted to write an article for this site, then if we put our article title "Hemorrhoids" or any other relevant keywords, then Google wiil give more value to our articles as well as our website in comparison to other related web sites, whose articles consist of vague, meaningless titles.
5) As most article directories do not accept articles with URLs or hyperlinks in the article contents, be sure to not violate this rule or your article will usually not be considered. They do however usually allow you to include your company name and web address in the "about the author" section that is included with each article submission.
So then what is the advantage of article submission for the SEO work of your website?
1) Great sources of getting one way link.
2) Generate interest in the content of your website so as to attract new, unique visitors.
3) Best alternative to link exchange and link exchange networks.
4) Save time in getting back-links to your website instead of directory submission and link exchanging.
5) Some article submission and PR web sites allow people to subscribe to specific categories related to their web site as RSS feeds. If a website subscribes to the RSS feed for the category that you have submitted your article to, your article and back link will not only show up on the website that you have submitted to, it will also automatically appear on all of the websites that subscribe to the RSS feed of that category. However, only articles that have unique and informative content are chosen to be included in these RSS feeds, so make sure to follow the directions we have provided for you here.
