Ten Best Formats In Writing Articles

Writing articles is a great way to generate traffic to your website. If you distribute and submit articles to various high page rank article directories you can get many inbound links to your site and consequently improve your page ranking as well. Many years ago writing ten to twenty articles would really make an impact on your counter. But no so today, you have to crank out as many articles as you possibly can in order to gain momentum or what they call enjoy the snowball effect.

So here are 10 formats to guide you in writing articles the faster way:

1. Tips/advice/lists- Easy to read, lots of white space chunks of information
example: Ten ways to…
Six great ideas for…
Three steps to…

2. Cause/effect- you set up a situation and describe the result or you may want to trace
multiple causes and effects. This format uses lots of transition words
such as: due to, as a result, therefore, so that, consequently, thus, for that reason.

3. How to- an oldie but still a goldie. Readers are perennially curious and hungry for
information. In order to pique their curiosity offer information, teach something that
interests them.

4. Comparison/contrast-you show how two people, places, ideas are the same
or different. In this format you can present your materials in two ways:

a. Write all the aspects of topic 1 and the next paragraph write all aspects of topic 2. Then your conclusion.

b. Write first description of topic 1 and 2 then in the next paragraph, second description of topic 1 and 2.

Words that show comparison: similarly, likewise, in the same manner, at the same time.

Words that show contrast: But, nevertheless, however, nonetheless, conversely.

5. Question/answer-list your audience’s most pressing questions and answer them by
showcasing your expertise.

6.P roblems/solutions- state a problem and give one or more solutions. They are arrange
from least to most effective.

7. Spatial order- specifically geared for travelogues and description of homes. You
arrange events from one single point of reference. It can be arrange from top to
bottom, bottom to top, inside to outside, outside to inside, point A to point B.

8. Ways/secrets/habits- it’s human nature to want to know everything and not want to
miss out on anything especially about secrets, lies, gossips and hoaxes more than we
care to admit.

9. Reasons-your articles are reader friendly if you extol the virtues, the whys and wherefores of a certain subject or topic.

Example: Five Reasons Why The Procrastination Habit Is Vital To Your Long Term Success.

10. Myth/truth-plenty of absurd and ridiculous ideas going around in our pop culture or a
certain industry. Time to debunk these myths and expose the truth.

How To Mine Ideas For Articles

First off, I just want to say Happy 1st Anniversary to Blog Catch . Yes it’s been twelve months of blogging and learning all this internet marketing stuff. It has been a wonderful and enjoyable ride. The writer of this blog has a slight bent to dilettante urges, that’s why I felt the need to congratulate for sticking her guns to this wonderful purpose.J Here’s wishing to more years ahead of responsible information gathering and dispensing thru this exciting medium.

Onwards.

You know as well as I do that to be a prolific article writer we need to be equipped with techniques in which we can generate ideas easily to write our magnum opuses. This is not only applicable to generate ideas for articles but also to create products and systemize processes as well.

These are some idea generating techniques:

-1. Listing. This have got to be my most favorite technique. I randomly list the thoughts or ideas that I feel are crucial and important for my topic. After that, I arrange out of a seemingly disorganized train of thoughts into an orderly logic one, like from effective to the least, or temporal (past, present and future).

2. Referencing. Look up your basic idea or topic in the dictionary thesaurus, almanac, encyclopedia or quote collection. You might find new ways to extract information.

3. Similes, analogies and metaphors. Compare your topic to another unrelated words.
Use the phrase "is like" for example "Niche marketing is like dating." I’m sure that
sentence alone will spew out new ideas.

4. Argue for or against your topic. Investigate what might happen if the statements or facts of your topic were not true. Or you could modify the fact and see if you can apply it in your current situation better than the original one.

5. Take a certain rule, idea, quote, suggestion from guidebooks for sports, card games travel or instruction manuals and apply it to your current situation.

6. See the world from different views. It will allow you to get different perspectives if you role play a different person from different occupations, cultural backgrounds, age groups, sex groups (yes you can cross gender) and different angles from totally unrelated subjects. If you want to push it a little, you can even cross species and assume the personae of your pet parrot or dog. Take note of every comments, questions and interpretation as you examine each perspective.

7. Think of a topic and its purpose and apply it or re-use it to another field or area. Just like finding another market for your product. For example if you are planning an online advertising strategy , try looking at the same topic but this time use it for offline purposes.

8. Consider your topic in different ways:

-describe it
-compare it
-substitute it
-combine it
-modify or distort it
-eliminate it
-reverse it
-associate it
-analyze it

Now investigate what thoughts, ideas and answers might come up. See any connections, underlying tones, patterns, motifs or themes between them?

9. You can engage in wishful thinking. Write down your craziest, wildest ideas without inhibitions, without physical limitations, no morals, no rules, etiquette and laws. After that try to rationalize your wacky ideas into practical ones and see what happens.

10. Ask yourself the six journalistic questions:
-who, what when, where, why and how

11. Mind mapping and webbing. Instead of words and phrases think visual, in terms of charts, shapes, (like circles for mapping and webbing) tables and diagrams.

12. Frame your material as a letter as if you are writing or chatting to a friend. You will feel relax and trust me, ideas will flow.

13. You can start in the middle or the end. Writing a good article doesn’t always mean starting at the beginning This method works if you really don’t know how you want to start an article.

Who Says You Can’t Borrow Other People’s Articles?

I notice a little article writing and article marketing theme going on around here. But that’s okay as long as we discuss substantial chunks of information and not just useless fluff.

Article directories are set up not just for us to submit our articles to, but it’s also there for us so we can get tons of articles to beef up our website’s content. It is imperative that the resource boxes should remain intact as we access them from article directories.

Why is it permissible to borrow other people articles? Because sometimes there are things that we cannot write about, as much as we love writing right? There are things that are out of reach and breadth of our own experiences, so we drink from the fountain of other expert’s experiences metaphorically speaking, by borrowing their expertise thru their articles.

Aside a from helping other writers promote their website by using their articles in ours, we also get our share of traffic by using keywords targeting a group of interested visitors. How do we do this?

Above the borrowed article you will write a heading or title in your web page using a different set of related keywords. Ex. If you borrow an article titled "Ten Best Affordable Dog Shampoos by Uncle Sammy" for your keyword rich heading or title you can use " Dog Grooming Ideas".
You can also write a short introduction and a summary after the article using keywords and phrases to bring in different sets of visitors.

You actually enjoy two sets of targeted traffic from the keywords and phrases that you use for the title, introduction and summary and from the keywords the borrowed article is optimized for. Double whammy!

Remember knowing is half the battle!

The Real Deal On Article Directories

Not all article directories are created equal. There are certain things that makes us like a certain directory or not. So here are a few checklists that we might consider before we submit our labor of love-our articles.

-If it’s easy to submit to. Not confusing , easy to navigate in short, user friendly.

Listen to feedback.

-Submit to directories that have page rank of 4 or higher.

-If your articles don’t show up in the directories in a month or two and they don’t even notify you if they rejected the article or what then you might want to skip this kind of directory.

-If they keep your articles and your links clickable for longer time.

-If they have good syndication system that makes your article appear in so many other websites.

One more important tip. To ensure your article appear in places that not everybody else submits to, try the niche directories. Ex. Do a google search "keyword or your niche" + article directory.

The Art Of Smart Rewriting

Hello again. It’s been quite awhile since I last blogged here. I have been busy with writing articles and submitting them to all the right places. Little did i know that a considerable time had passed already and i felt i ought to take care of other businesses as well. Does that happen to you? I bet it does.

Not to mention this whole blogger blogs being switched to newer version with the whole google account thingy. It scared the hell out of me when I almost lost all my blogs in the process but thank God everything turned out fine. So here I am now ready to rant away.

Let me ask you this question. Which do you prefer , write one article and submit to 400 article directories or write 400 articles and submit it to one superb article directory? Well, really there’s no definite yes or no answer to that question. It all really depends on you.

First off, submitting to let’s say four hundred directories is labor intensive and time consuming, If you can afford, you can outsource the tasks of signing up and submitting your article to each directories. Secondly, you will run against content duplication since your one single article is all over the internet via 400 directories. As you may well know the big "G" absolutely frowns on that practice. Or you could do this…..rehash your article. Learn the art of smart rewriting.

The obvious part is change the title of your article two or three times. Remember you are aiming to submit to over a hundred article directories. Next change the keywords you are targeting, yet to attract another set of searchers or visitors. Example for this are, "online articles" and get another traffic of visitors targeting "article submission tips". For sure your online articles readers are also interested in tips for submitting articles Get it? Got it. Good.

Next thing you do is change about 20 percent of the content. Like in your original article you wrote " six tips to…" this time you replace the two tips and add another few new ones. Those who have read your first article may realize that this is a new one because they read and got two new tips which they haven’t read before in the previous article.

Next step is re-arrange the order of the tips of course. Change the words or paragraphs like splitting paragraphs into two . Change the order of paragraphs and the words especially the first sentence.
One more tip, you could add a story or anecdote that is related to your article topic.

You may think this is a lot of work rewriting your articles but once you get the hang of it, it will be just as easy. This is a powerful tip in cranking out articles as many as you can without that much needed research. Just imagine you have written 100 freshly written articles and by the power of rewriting viola! You have 200 articles to your name. Come on, lets write, rewrite and submit!

Remember knowing is half the battle!

Article Ideas


Article marketing is the best way to drive traffic to your website or blog. The internet is basically about information and what a great way to provide relevant information by writing articles. Goodbye to reciprocal links and hello to one way links through the resource box right below the article you write.

Since there are overwhelming information that floats around the internet there is a danger of duplicated content. Everybody knows that google frowns on duplicated material and thus lose your page ranking. So to avoid this we have to have original and hard to find information to provide our website visitors or the articles we write. Here are some suggestions to come up with great articles that is basically one of a kind.

1.Use your expertise. I’m sure you know things that other people don’t. What are usually the subjects that people come up to you and ask for advice? Why not write about it? Especially if the subject is the same subject as your website.

2.Use your own experiences. Use the story and the lesson as a basis for your article. For example, if you have a site on dating, you could tell the story of how you went from being a complete wuss to being a local don juan as a lead in for an article on how to strike up a good conversation with women.


3.Use keyword utilities. You will be surprise on how many key phrases that will come up if you type in your main keyword and that will serve as your basis of your future topics. For example you type in dvd, you will get a list of a hundred related items like dvd rentals, dvd wholesale etc. and you will be guaranteed that there is search traffic for these topics when you get ideas in this way.

Improve Search Engine Rankings

putting your main keywords in the title tag, meta tag, meta description, alt tags and it is recommended that your main keywords should also be your domain , sub domain names and the title of your website. write keywords in the first two sentences of your content as well as mention it at the last part of your content as well. doing it so by italicizing, bolding or underlining the keywords for emphasis.

but before you could all do this, don't skip the process of researching profitable keywords religiously. keyword research is whole subject in itself. but the gist here is find a topic which are most dear to you, research related keywords in your niche and get this. find and dig deeper the keywords which have high demand- lots of searches(500-1000 a month) and low supply, mean lesser competing pages. which i would say finding those elusive keywords are just as easy finding diamonds in your own backyard.

anyway , once you got that down to pat, you have to submit your website or blog to directories, paid or not it's all up to you. you just have to spend a little time every week or day for that particular tasks. busy internet entrepreneurs outsource this job to people in india or any other countries that offer inexpensive services like this. here are some directories you can submit your sites to:

http://www.marketingchat.org/web-directories.html
http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55
http://www.info.vilesilencer.com/
http://manualdirectorysubmission.com
http://www.seocompany.com/directory/free-web-directories.html
http://directories.myfinancedirectory.com/index.php?c=1
http://www.directorycritic.com

these should keep you busy for awhile. the first directory is composed of 3,000 sites you can submit to with their page rank.

we will touch more on this subject in future posts. but one thing i would like to share based on my own experience is that SEARCH ENGINE RANKING OPTIMIZATION is just one of the ways to drive traffic to your website. as the old adage goes " don't put all your eggs in one basket". you should diversify and engage in other ways to drive traffic. in my opinion, with the search engines it's a love and hate relationship. why? one day you see your site listed and watch it gone the next. it's an ongoing struggle to get optimized on and off pages.

What's So Black Hat About Linkbaiting?

gone are the days of reciprocal links, link farms and free for alls.as soon as search engines robots crawl and your links are found on these places expect to get booted right away and lose your ranking. on the contrary, if your links are found on sites that are ranked high and are tightly themed expect to get a boost.

linkbaiting is about getting links or should i say luring them to link on your site because you created a bait for them to do so. you need more than just quality content for your site to effectively linkbait.

hard to find information, insider secret discussions on podcasts is one. interviews with bigwigs on a particular industry, free tools and games, create controversy( opposing ideas and opinions and make then known through press releases) especially from authority sites. my favorite linkbait is a list section on your site that people may visit often and are useful to them like ,listing of free directories, article directories, a list of best blogs in your niche and the like.

words get around fast in the blogosphere not to mention the burgeoning popularity of social bookmarking. catch you line on social networking sites like my space and expect your baits to hook some real big fishes.

I'm Back To Basics- Keyword Research

as you can see i have not been posting in this blog for quite sometime. i have been busy with my other niche blog and i'm learning all over again this time, thoroughly about the basics of keyword research. i can't stress enough the importance of it, seo-wise.

i have learned that it is not enough to list all your basic and main keywords but to dig deeper and accumulate as much as thirty thousand keywords until you can't find anymore. to do this, you can use all your free and paid keyword tools like good keywords, overture, google external tool, nichebot, the dowser, googspy and the much acclaimed wordtracker. you have to research what other combinations of keyword phrases not just the main keywords that your prospects are using in the search engines, so they can simply find you. i recommend, using google suggest and its alternative all the web (http://livesearch.alltheweb.com/?ek), crossword compiler(http://crossword.compiler.com), www.acronymfinder.com, http://thesaurus.reference.com(the trial version of wordtracker doesn't offer thesaurus and misspell words),www.lexfn.com, and for misspell words you can go to www.searchspell.com/typo. now that you have all the information at your arsenal, there's no reason why you can't accumulate keywords relating to your main keywords.

internet marketing gurus advocate that you should find and use profitable keywords as well as keywords that advertisers pay high amount of money. others say, go for keywords and topics which you are passionate about so you can be happy writing about it and never run out of things to write. so its up to you which road to take.

remember...knowing is half the battle!

Niche Marketing : What's in it For you?

many internet gurus advocate novice marketers to stay away from "how to make money on the net" as their e-business model. according to them it is already an overcrowded area and it is really very very hard to compete with the big guys. instead, discover those little fields where the demand is more than the supply.for you will surely have a profitable undertaking. and how do you go about this? intensive and thorough keyword research using tools that you're comfortable with and trusted. next, find out if there are actually people who are interested to buy. scouring the usual forums, message boards and groups( yahoo and google) research.

most importantly, make sure the niches you want to pursue are something you are truly passionate about. i can't stress that enough. it will be easy for you to write and you won't run out of things to say.

if you want to keep abreast of the latest trends just to give you an idea. check out buzz on yahoo, zeitgeist on google, the best seller in ebay or amazon .com or simply check meetup.com and see how many people browse for particular things. that might brew up some money making ideas.

a lot of people are into niche marketing and making a lot of money more so now than ever. taking advantage of the less competition. so,why not start now and carve your own niche?

remember, knowing is half the battle!

The Almost New Kid In Town: Social Bookmarking

search engines no longer have the monopoly of generating traffic to your website or blogs because social bookmarking can do that as well. it has become another alternative to increase inbound links to your site from an seo standpoint. social networking sites had been around since 1996 and to date it has increasingly become popular.

another perk of social bookmarking is that it is purely web-based, meaning you can access to all your favorite files anywhere, anytime. you are no longer bound to your own computer. the word "social" connotes, you can share it to anyone.

traditionally, you research using search engines. by using social bookmarks you can get access to articles or stories of your chosen subjects using keywords and tags. in addition, you can have access to someone's favorite collection of sites that is related to your interest. think of all the plethora of information that is readily available to you in so short a time.

so make use of this not so new medium to spread your word out in the blogosphere.just register for an account in such sites as technorati, digg or del.icio.us etc. read the "how tos" and start tagging.

remember, knowing is half the battle!

Out With The Old In With the New- SEO Rules

as major search engines perpetually changing its algorithmic variables especially google, we have to keep up or else we are left behind.in earlier days one of the on- page seo techniques is stuffing keywords on meta tags,alt tags,page description,page titles to fool the web crawler and therefore get that higher ranking. but today, major search engines want naturally occuring keywords and consequently provide users with real and useful information. not just artificially putting a bunch of keywords. so that next time searchers would patronize the same search engines because they know they can very well deliver very good content.

as far as links are concern,it used to be fashionable to join link communities and get tons of reciprocal links not caring if those links are of testimonial grade.but not so today.you have to take time out to attract legitimate links( related to your site). if your website is about golf, its needless to say your strongest links will be links to sports stores, directories to best golf clubs and sites that have calendar of events to golf competitions.

it's hard to exactly predict what the major search engines would require in order to get that higher ranking. your guess is as good as mine. if they would divulge their secrets,then all of us will be search engine spammers not optimizers.

if you want to save yourself some trouble and time about seo-ing(is that a word? it is now. :) ) your site. you can hire an seo company. what with all the hundreds of choices around you can easily spot one. but before you do sign up with one, you need to know what type of techniques do they use to achieve rankings. at least, ask their recent work with other clients,what type of volume increase in traffic and the timetable that is reasonable to expect.

Blogger Clutter

do you post regularly or daily? if i don't have anything substantial to say i don't post.unless you want to be a top 50 technorati blogger you need to post like several times a day. for me, its still an issue of quality over quantity. otherwise daily postings will only contribute to blog clutter.

not everybody reads rss feeds,majority still like to read their favorite blogs the old fashioned way by visiting.

providing unique insights, in depth research or specific value to blog readers will ultimately gain you a wide readership than just playing the role of a wire service just passing along stories. that's why it's so important to be passionate about your blog's topic otherwise we are left hung up and dry most of the times.

In Search For The Perfect Newsletter

"the money is in the list" so they say.with the advent of blogs going into the mainstream some people say, the newsletter had seen better days. not likely so, in my opinion, newsletters still reign superior to blogs when in comes to marketing. blogs require surfers to come to you while newsletters purposely go after the subscribers.what do u do first thing in the morning at the office or at home? check your email right?

the growing numbers of newsletters publish in the internet are astronomical. it is becoming hard to distinguish which ones are worth your time reading.here is a short checklist of what people don't want in a newsletter.

a. TOO LONG. who is not time constraint or busy these days? we like to speed read or skimp therefore more white spaces in the background are favorable and more easy on the eyes. improve readability. make good use of headings, sub-headings and frequent paragraph breaks.

b. USE OF GRAPHICS. takes up alot of time loading.

c. THOSE THAT COME FREQUENTLY. even if its your favorite newsletter but if its always,always available you dont have the time to keep up reading. it does not create anticipation. you can't have too much of a good thing right? it will be like a meal composed of only caviar.

d. blatant,pure sales pitch.

so what are the things that should be included in your newsletter? here are a few recommendations:

1. unique content. tips sheet section that is beneficial to your target audience.

2. "how to" section. satisfy your reader's curiosity and people naturally love to learn.

3. helpful links.

4. word for the day.

5. book or product reviews.

6. free download: tools and e-books

7. ask for a feedback. this way, there's interaction between subscribers and publisher.

8. editorial comments.

9. guest articles

10. q and a.

11. news gathering and trend watching pertaining to your subject.

12. case studies.

13. site updates and notices. not all your readers regularly visit your websites.

14. web surfing guides.

15. very special report. offer in-depth treatment of your topic.


if the newsletter's topic is your passion, it flows. the readers can feel it.if the writer is radiating with enthusiasm, it will attract whoever reads it.

When Manual Meets Auto: Still on Traffic Exchanges

auto surfing is pretty much convenient, you get to earn credits or cash while u get to do other things on you computer.some traffic exchanges only require splash pages so that loading time is faster therefore surf timer goes by so swiftly. when you go surf on these traffic exchanges,there are a lot of things going on,not only you get to see different websites, you're eyes should be pretty quick because you get to view different banners on rotation.talk about about multi tasking to the highest level.manual surfing wore out my mouse quickly.

a word of warning about most auto surfing sites though.be wary of pay to play gimmick.some require you to shell out a certain amount initially in order you can view more websites to earn more.these are the hallmarks of a pyramid scheme. the operators can pay the surfers from the websites owners' investment money but as the organizations get too big, eventually it will collapse. as the saying goes" it's impossible to rob peter to pay paul forever." you might want to check the operators of these exchanges if they have history of fraud. be leery if they have only p.o. boxes for an address. visit the u.s securities and exchange commisson website at http://sec.gov./investor.shtml for more information and avoid possible costly mistakes.

Traffic Exchanges...Love it or Leave it.

internet marketing is not a mystery. you don't need a special code to decipher, there are no secret formulas.it all boils down to one thing...Traffic!

some people say traffic exchanges don't work because the visitors on your websites are untargeted.targeted or untargeted visitors, the fact remains it's still traffic. i must admit though lately i have been addicted.it's my thing. traffic exchange does it for me. i don't know, maybe because i like surfing other websites, see what's out there, be informed and at the same time earn credits and have loads of people visit yours. isn't that an ideal situation? i'll scratch your back, you'll scratch mine. everybody wins!

i have probably a hundred traffic exchanges at my disposal, (regular and blog) yes i am that obsessed.a lot of people say everything on the net is just a "numbers game" well my sentiments exactly.you can convert untargeted visitors to targeted ones, you just have to increase the odds. numbers game or other people call it, "applying the law of averages" isn't only applicable in internet marketing, but in general life as well. like dating for example, you have to date lots of people in order to find the love of your life. increase the odds. at the risk of sounding cheesy, i hope i get my point acrossed.

anyway,just keep at it(traffic exchanges) and expect truckloads of traffic to your websites in due time. you don't need to buy expensive traffic courses or attend pricey seminars to learn it all. the big secret is that, there is no secret.

Internet Marketing Celebrities

in every endeavour, be it politics,business or sports there is what we call the experts, the champions,the gurus,the pundits. these are the people who ,through long years of study and training reached a level of greatness in their chosen field.today i am going to talk about the people who bask in the internet marketing celebrity.these are my personal favorites. i have wallowed in their websites,soaked in their articles,newsletters and e-courses.in my opinion,these individuals didn't create hype and i personally experienced through them the value of giving and service first and foremost.they are not the "blasting ads in your face" kind.

joe vitale- mr. fire as he is known in the online world. the author of many hypnotic selling series of books is a very charismatic writer.he offers information that is very unique and quite entrancing.usually, makes references to the celebrated copywriters in the old age of yore namely claude hopkins,robert collier and the greatest marketing man in those days, p.t. barnum.

neil shearing- simple and straight to the point. visit his website and you'll know. www.scamfreezone.com

jim daniels- if you want to read articles that are packed with useful information it had to be written by jim daniels. you dont feel like you are wasting time after going through a reading material of his. you can never say to yourself"what did i do that for?" nah-ah.

gary halbert-you will get to know him by reading his newsletters,which are now available for everyone to grab for free.i think his newsletters are gems. he is a great copywriter, his style reminds me of edgar allan poe's lyrical,weaving a tapestry kind of words. minus the eerie and macabre element of course.

michael cheney- the adsense genius. another great teacher using the visual mode of imparting knowledge through the internet.quick grab his videos.

shelley lowery-her web design and development expertise not only sets her apart but her marketing,writing skills as well.

jason oickle- here's the kicker, as young as he is, already making marks in the cybermarketing space.and he is there to lead you every step of the way to achieve your online goals.

there are many more outstanding people that i haven't mention yet who are worthy.but i guess that will be a subject for my future post.

what's in a name?

i have decided to change the title of my blog from sunkist official blog to netmarketing summit blog. why? because i want to optimize this blog for search engine ranking and it has to be relevantly keywords packed in order to achieve it. my blog mainly talks about internet marketing, hence the title. also the word summit symbolizes the ultimate goal, to reach the peak of your potential. and it's news related, a bunch of filipino mountaineers just recently reached "the summit" of mt. everest. it is really quite a feat guys. kudos to all of you! it is the first foray of fellow countrymen to climb mt.everest and a successful one to boot. what do filipinos think of next ? fathom the marianas trench? orbit the earth? hmmm.... just a thought.

LET'S GET LINKED!

in this day and age of information overkill,submitting your site to search engines isn't the only way to get traffic to your website. it shouldn't be the end all and be all. i consider it passive marketing, leaving the decision in someone else's control, hoping for them(search engines) to send you a trickle of traffic.

other equally important factor is link swapping.how many sites are linked to yours is not as important as to what kind of sites. subjects that are related to your websites' theme creates more value.again,it's a matter of quality versus quantity . search engines can easily determine if all links in your directory are targeted to a specific audience.

that's why i've decided,as you can see here, to put a site ring where you are more than welcome to add your site's url for the purpose of creating a community or a network to all online marketing enthusiasts. it will be beneficial to both parties giving each other traffic. reciprocal links, not only gives us a chance to optimize our web pages to get a higher ranking in the search engines, but on a personal note, you get to know other site owners or webmasters, review some of their products and services. just be careful though not to accept link requests from just about anybody, whose site's subject is totally different to yours because that would be a cause for a link farm alert. and needless to say search engines frown on that practice. so therefore, paid link exchange services and submission to free for all (ffa) pages are for me kind of taboo. i'd rather accumulate links the long and hard way.

so i'm making sure my would be link partners have definite reasons why they would want to link with me. first of all, i made sure i offer valuable content, added stickiness to my blog.like, providing a message forum so visitors can rant and rave,share their views and opinions mainly about no cost effective online marketing techniques that would give us knowledge and eventually translate it into a steady stream of income.

wrting articles and submitting it to article directories is one sure ways to get a back link to your site or blog thru your resource box. this is one of my favorite because not only its free but the results of your efforts will gain momentum and eventually snowballed thus bringing a surge of traffic you wonder where they came from.

speaking of tools,t here are many available tools that automate link management,check site rating,cloak and generate automatic doorways. there are also tools that analyze traffic, you basicaly know what,when ,where and how long a visitor lingers on your site or blog.
check this one out:

www.bravenet.com (my favorite as you can see,i patronize their services, just hope this wont slow the loading time)

so come on, like minded people get on with your sticks, let's have link.

Vacuum Laws of Prosperity And The Cosmic Laws Of LIfe

this concept is quite new to me despite the fact that i've been in this world for over quarter of a century.call me over the hill or antiquated, but i feel there's always something new that we can learn at any stage in life.

i'm referring to randy gage's vacuum laws of prosperity. it states that nature abhors a vacuum,abyss or chasm or anything that's suggests empty space.and since the inherent nature of the universe is good,any vacuum will always be filled with good.

consider for example, you walk down the beach you will leave footprints in the sand. give it time, the tracks will be filled thru the buffeting winds and endless surge of the waves. so if we want to manifest prosperity in our lives,we should create a vacuum. let go of something negative,create a vacuum and give it time it will be filled with something positive. we have to let go,so that we can create a room for the positive to come into our lives. a case in point, if we are stuck in a bad relationship,take courage,let go and you will find someone worthier for you. it takes faith to be able to do that. if we want money,give away money. if we want love, give hugs,kisses and love.what goes around comes around. what you sow is what you reap. call it karma.

makes me want to think of the other cosmic laws of life. but i guess that will be the subject of my next post. don't touch that remote,stay tuned.
