I like blog commenting as a link building strategy. If you can add to the conversation, it’s an easy way to get both human visitors and backlinks. But what about “nofollow?” Nofollow is often ignored. Last year, Ben Fisher did a case study to see if nofollow links counted - they certainly seemed to, based on his results. Neil Patel “broke” the story with screenshots, and that post is now recognized as the “nofollow is BS” authority. Because I recommend tools like CommentHut and Comment Sniper (which server 2 very different purposes when trying to get traffic from blog commenting), I often get emails from folks asking about the “nofollow” issue - why comment on blogs if it’s nofollow, blah blah blah. So it’s clear there’s still some confusion within the population on the value, if any, of nofollow links. I thought I’d run the same study as Ben did last year and see if I could get my site to rank for a keyword that (1) is not on my site and (2) only use blog comments to get anchor text... See less

If you sell copyrighting information, the next logical step could be an Adwords course - all your customers now have this great copy they learned from you and they need to get traffic to it. You sell baby booties. Next market toddler ones. The kids usually grow - fill the need. When your customers have a pleasant experience buying from you, they are happy to go back to you and buy more. Make it easy for them. Provide a product to fill each and every need they could possibly have in your niche. Don’t... See less

This weekend, a friend of my husband is having his yearly birthday blowout party at our house. We’ll have guests through Monday, and as such, I don’t anticipate posting. I think there will be about 10 people, in addition to me, my husband and our 2 boys. For Saturday, my husband and I ordered the Pavlik v. Taylor boxing rematch on PPV. I haven’t watched much boxing since I was a little girl (my dad would watch sometimes) but we happened to watch Pavlik v. Taylor I a few months ago, and it was one of the best fights I’d ever seen. My husband had never watched boxing before, but he got totally sucked in. It was an incredible match. I don’t know if our houseguests care for boxing, but the heck with ‘em! We’re watching the fight Saturday (and rooting for Pavlik)! I hope you have a great weekend too! Anyone else got fun plans for the 3-day weekend? See less

Read Part I here and Part II here if you need to catch up. I was doing really well with creating backlinks from MySpace pages, and my own custom bot was in the process of being built. My Adsense page stats were looking up, individual niche products were continuing to produce and various affiliate promotions were doing well. Money was coming in, but because of the delay in payment (45-60 days at for some programs) I was running out of cash. Because I’d lost so much rank before, the payments that were coming in were miniscule and I had to wait another month or more to see the money I was earning now that I was back up in the indexes. I wondered if, for a quick cash fix, I could sell the bot I was having made. I posed some bulletins on my biggest MySpace accounts to see if there was any interest - and got the most responses I’d EVER had to a bulletin. So I started contacting some folks in IM to tell them about what I was doing and the potential it had. But back then - early 2006 - very... See less

Last week Darren asked people if they swore on their blogs. Results are in, and it looks like 40% of respondents do, at least occasionally. I swear like a dirty Irish sailor in real life. Of course, I do know how to behave when the occasion warrants it. I clean up well. Some people think all swearing is crass and vulgar, due to a bad vocabulary and lack of imagination. Some think it can make a person come across as more “real” in a business setting; not all tight-laced and stiff. I don’t swear on this blog (or at least don’t recall doing so), although, incidentally, installment III of “How I Got Started In Internet Marketing” does include some choice language. It’s not mine though, it’s a quote. It’ll be published tomorrow. My not swearing here has been something of a choice, I haven’t come across an occasion where it’s warranted enough. I’m not opposed to it though, should the need arise. I’m probably more likely to swear verbally then in the written word. You don’t know how many... See less

Couldn’t get any sort of metrics on where your traffic was coming from and what they were doing once they got to the site, so I never had any idea if what I was doing was working or not.

“Will 30 Minute Backlinks work for my niche/skillset/site?” Yeah. Linkbuilding is essential in any niche. Linkbuilding is the foundation of your site getting (or not getting traffic). With 30Minute Backlinks you create content that is valuable to your niche, distribute it through software distribution channels, develop those all-important backlinks and human traffic. You probably already have content your niche is interested in - articles, RSS feeds, pictures, video, etc. All of these are re-purposed in the creation of your software. You do not need software development know-how. I don’t know how to code software. I know very little HTML, for that matter. You just fill in boxes - “Company Name,” “URL,” etc. Then add content - those articles, RSS feeds, pictures, video that you already have. Click “Create.” Software is produced. Is this a product YOU need right now? Linkbuilding is the life of your site. Without a link building plan, you’ll see very little action on your stats pages.... See less

(To read the beginning, click here…) I didn’t have the technical know-how to build massive linking networks, and while my business was doing well, I didn’t have money to burn on paid link campaigns. In the meantime, I put up a few products for sale in different niches, and they did ok. It was passive income, just like my Adsense sites.  I also did a few affiliate promotions, one of which is STILL my biggest affiliate earner today. The particular product converts like ganbusters, it’s incredible. As long as I could send traffic to it (which I was through my cloaked sites) it made me a LOT of money. I was *very* sick for a while, and wasn’t able to work. But, I had good income streams, it was ok. Then, late 2005, Adsense took a proverbial sh*t. Well, more like I’d been sick, not building new links (have to constantly build links to keep ahead) and my sites dropped out of the search engines. Even whitehat sites I had lost a ton of traffic. I was losing money - fast.

I’ve been playing with a neat little (free) tool the last couple of days. It alerts you *immediately* when you favorite bloggers post something new. This isn’t an RSS feed reader, but rather a way for you to hightail it to the blog in question and add a comment. It’s faster then RSS - you can set it to poll the blogs you enter as often as you’d like. On high traffic blogs, being the first commentor will drive considerable clicks and traffic to your own site - imagine being the first to respond to a Techcrunch article, John Reese Income.com update or Darren Rowse post - thousands of people will see your response. Of course, it’s imperative (if you want people to actually visit your site) to leave informative, insightful comments. Just writing, “Great post!” won’t entice as many click-throughs. If there are notable blogs in your industry you’d like to grab a piece of the traffic action from, Comment Sniper is an awesome way to do it. Hat tip to Jack for the tip! See less

I first got into internet marketing while doing admin (at Guru.com) for a construction company - they wanted their website updated, and the graphic designer asked me what to use for meta keywords, site title, etc. I did some research to find out what that all meant, and was immediately immersed into the world of SEO. So I was a bit niave at first, and though I’d have a hand at opening up a T-shirt shop at CafePress. I noticed that TShirtHell ranked at the top of the engines for the keywords I wanted, so went to go learn more about SEO to figure out how to beat them. Well, come to find out TShirtHell had been around a long while and there was no way I’d outrank them with my fledgling skills. In the meantime, I got on a ton of marketers lists and started getting pitches about Adsense site building, creating throwaway sites with a few mouse clicks and basic concepts of salespages, backends, and more and more SEO info. Keith Baxter opened “Top Keyword Lists” which was a member site with... See less
