The power of Linkwheels

I’ve talked about linkwheels a couple of times before. I’m writing about it in this post because it seems very important. Backlinks from linkwheels are very high quality and you can create them yourself for free.

The idea of a linkwheel is that you create pages with unique content about the subject you want a backlinks from. You can write the articles yourself and upload/copy them to the website. The first article you use is the center of the linkwheel. For example you can use Squidoo.com. This is website where you can write about all kinds of different subjects. In the text you can add your the link to your website. To create a nice page I’d recommend to add some pictures and maybe a video to the website.

Let’s say you put three pages around the first page. For example you can use Intodit.com, Hubpages.com and Wikia.com. On these pages you write an article as well but this time you put a backlink to the first page, the center of the linkwheel instead of to your website. this way the center of the linkwheel becomes more important and the backlink you get from there will be high quality. On those page you can also use pictures and a video to make the pages look ‘human’ or ‘handmade’. There’s software that creates a lot of pages at the same time. The articles will not be unique this way and the pictures and the video will be all over the place. So to make sure it all looks like people actually created it instead of a program make sure it all looks fantastic.

In the image below you can see an example of a linkwheel:



The kind of pages you can use for linkwheels are web 2.0 property sites, wiki sites or website to create your own free websites. These websites are also social media sites, you can follow and connect to others who write about the same or other relevant subjects. By joining others your pages and articles will be found easier and that’s good for your main site.

Your website needs one or five linkwheels in to dominate the competition. Remember, this is one of the most powerful SEO tools to get high in the rankings. You must have this and now you know how to do it yourself. I’m proud the share this information with you on this blog. Looking back this blog is starting to contain a lot of useful SEO information for everyone who wants to make money with their website.

High quality vs low quality backlinks

With my new website on the way I’m trying to find out as much as possible about search engine optimization. The good news is that I think there’re a lot of possibilities to get backlinks to your website. The bad news is that I don’t know what kind of backlinks are the best.

Low quality

There’s a lot of software that you can purchase to create hundreds or thousands of backlinks in one day or spread over numerous days. Now this is an important difference. Search engines find it strange if a website gets one thousand backlinks in one day and I understand that. So if you’re using software like that you have to be careful.

I also read that Google is constantly changing to get better results. There for backlinks that are great one day can be worthless or maybe even dangerous for your website the other. That leads me to the conclusion that you should not focus on one kind of backlinks so that if Google changes it’s algorithms your website won’t drop in the rankings. I think it doesn’t matter if it are high or low quality backlinks but I think it’s important to mix it up. Of course I would go for more high quality than low quality backlinks.

High quality

Backlinks that are in a unique text under a relevant anchor are high quality backlinks. Also links from website that are high in Google already are very high quality. So getting backlinks from websites that are on the first page where you want your website to end up are fantastic. It’s hard to get these often but it’s worth the try.

One of the ways to get backlinks in a text under a relevant anchor is creating web 2.0 properties, wiki’s or blogs. You have to write a unique article and you can create the pages yourself for free. When you create more of these pages that link to each other they call it a linkwheel. In one of my next posts I’ll write about it because this seems to be a powerful method.

Like I said, I think you should focus on high quality links but to mix it up with low quality should be a problem. I think it’s also important to see what Google’s doing and to follow their updates. That way you know what you should or shouldn’t be doing.

Network marketing vs Pyramid scheme

When I started with Global Domains International I receive the following question:

Is it a pyramid scheme? 

Now that I’m working with Rolution to I received the same question/response. I’ve looked into this and I found the following explanation. Network marketing is NOT a pyramid scheme because it has a product. GDI has the .ws domain name and the website builder and Rolution has the Vault and also the possibility to build a website. A pyramid scheme doesn’t have anything, you’re just asked to put in money and together you’ll find more people who are willing to do that. The problem is that when people decide to step out and take their share the pyramid collapses and a lot of people lose their money.

A pyramid scheme is illegal in a lot of countries. There’s no legit company behind it. With network marketing there is a legitimate company behind the product. You can contact the company by email and by phone and they are registered as a real, legitimate business. So before joining a network marketing company check if they are registered and check the company’s history.

I get this response a lot when I tell people about network marketing. For some reason one of the negative things about MLM is that people think it’s a pyramid scheme. Why? I don’t know but I hear it very often. Now that you know the difference you can explain to people right away that your Rolution or GDI business opportunity is not a pyramid scheme. Believe me, if you can’t tell them this right away, your story isn’t interesting anymore. 

The last thing I want to share about the way people think about network marketing is that for some reason it seems that there are more negative thoughts about it than positive. Of course this worries me. I’m thinking should I continue? It’s costing me a lot more to build my company now that I’m creating a professional website. On the other hand I only signed four people until now and those people aren’t really signing new members themselves. I often read that with network marketing the people on top earn a lot of money but people like you and me will have to work hard for almost nothing. I have to reasonable, will I be successful with MLM? I doubt it sometimes but on the other hand I really believe in the solution of combining MLM with internet marketing. My new website is on the way so let’s focus on SEO for now and not give up. I’m not going to lie about this, I have my doubts and this blog is for everyone who’s starting a network marketing business themselves so I want you to see this to. Your probably having the same thoughts so let’s be open about it.

Use Tags page for free backlinks

Onother website I came across is tagspage.com. It’s very easy to get a backlink from this website. Just press ‘add tag’ or ‘free tag #1, #2, #3 or #4. Then select ‘exclusive starting at only $ 1,-‘ or ‘free’. Then you can enter a tag.

Use the keyword you want to be found on. In previous posts we’ve explain how important it is to use the right keywords. To refresh your memory here’s a short explanation:

The Google Keyword Tool can be used to see how people use curtain keywords when they’re searching the internet. When you have a website about Global Domains International you want your website to be found when people use these words to find information or maybe they want to sign up. Either way your website should come up. Using the Keyword Tool can show you how many times people use a word. For example people look for ‘Global domains international’ 6600 times a month. Sometimes people forget the s and their for ‘Global Domain International’ is also used 1000 times a month. When you use both of these keywords and you end up at the first page in Google you can get over 7000 visitors a month for free to your website.

Now that you know why keywords and backlinks are so important again you understand that using the right keywords on tagspage.com can help you get found for the words you want people to find your website.

Getting backlinks is easy?

I’ve been looking for ways to get backlinks to my existing websites. Also I’m going to make a list of ways to get backlinks for my new website. I’ll be sharing these links with you on this blog so keep following me.

One of the things a cam across was Social Monkee. In previous post I described what kind of backlinks there are and these backlinks are social bookmarks. I’ve tried it and it’s very easy to use. You can sign up for free here. Just fill out the form and confirm you email. When you’re logged in go to Submit URL and create a title. You can create different titles by using this spin method:

{Getting backlinks is easy|Get your easy backlinks|Free backlinks for all} 

With this method you can spin the title. It can also be used to spin your keywords and your text. After the title you have to fill in your URL. Social Monkee checks if the URL is unique and then you go to the text. Just write a short text about the website and/or the subject you’re referring to. Use the spinning code as well, it’s better to use different sentences than twenty five times the same text.

After that you can add some keywords and you have to choose a category. When you’ve filled out everything you press Preview & Submit and within 24 hours you’ll have 25 free social bookmarks to your website. You can use the free 25 social bookmarks every 24 hours for different websites. Of course the first thing you do is building the backlinks to your own website. after that you can also use the tool to create the backlinks to other websites that refer to your website. that way those website get more backlinks as well and they’ll go up in the rankings. The backlink you’re getting from those website will be more valuable for your website.

Getting backlinks

I’m a member of several SEO forums like Wickedfire, Warriorforum and Blackhatworld. My favorite is Wickedfire, it looks the most professional and the people there really know what they’re talking about. Right now I’m reading a lot about SEO (I know getting rich easy isn’t the way network marketing works!). There’re a lot of ways on how to build your website but there’re even more things that you can do from outside your website.

Building backlinks seems to be very important. When people tell you about a good restaurant you my consider going there. It’s same with websites. When other websites refer to your website search engines see that as if your website has something valuable. With a lot of references, also known as backlinks your website will climb the rankings.

Not all backlinks are the same. There is a difference in quality. For example a backlink from a website about a totally different subject or a backlink from a website that allows you to create it easily is low quality. A backlink in a unique text under a word that has to do with your website is high quality. Also links from websites that don’t have a lot of other links to other websites has more value than links from website that are full of outgoing links.

In the SEO forums I read about:

• Social Bookmarks 
• Wiki links 
• Linkwheels 
• Article marketing 
• Forum links 
• Minisites 

I don’t know what all these services mean but I’ll find out shortly and I’ll write about In my next posts.

My Adwords Campaign

One of the first I did was setting up a Google Adwords campaign to promote my GDI business. In the time I’ve been looking for ways to build my business the campaign has been running. In two weeks it’s cost me $ 9,-, I had 3200 views and 72 clicks. To be honest I don’t have a clue what that means but it’s doing something. Until now I also had 5 new sign ups and 56 missed sign ups. Missed signups are people that start to fill out form but for some reason don’t complete the form. I think it has to do with the credit card information.

Personally I think Google Adwords is a great program. You can change it whenever you want and you can spent as much money on it as you want. For me it has been motivational to see that people are clicking my link and I also got some signups with it.

Looking at all my effort until now I have to say Adwords is the best thing until now. I’ve created a website but I didn’t know how to do that when I started. Their for it’s not the best website for my business and I think that’s very important because it’s your business card online.

With my new website on the way I think that will be the best think I have but until then a can really recommend Google Adwords. When my site is finished I’ll find out more about SEO and I want to get that website to the first page in Google as soon as possible. Whet it’s there I don’t know what I’ll do with Adwords because my ad will be above my website on the same page.

Like I said before, I´m excited. I really think this is the key to success. I try to keep this blog alive and post almost every day. Remember, use this blog as you guide and don’t do the same things I did and that didn´t work. Like they say, don´t reïnvent the wheel.
