<p>This is about how to make easy money quickly).</p>
<p>1.     Make easy money online naming domains. The original idea comes from<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.business-opportunities.biz/2007/02/02/make-money-naming-domains/"> Dane Carson’s blog</a>. While you can earn money as a contributor for  services such as <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pickydomains.com/">PickyDomains.Com</a>,  here is a better idea. Go to Google or any other search engine, find  sucky domain names and contact their owners directly, offering them your  services. The key to success is to make it 100% risk free. Inform your  prospective clients that you’ll accept money only if they like your  domain name. If you come up with one approved domain name a day and  charge what PickyDomain charges, you can make $1500 a month. Another  twist – come up with cool domain names, like SiteToRemember.Com or  ItsMe.Com, register them yourself and sell them on the aftermarket.</p>
<p><span id="more-233"></span></p>
<p>2.     <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ebay.com/">eBay arbitrage</a>. A lot of people  like buying stuff on eBay, because it’s cheap. And some people never buy  on eBay, because they are afraid of being ripped off. Here is your  solution to making easy money on eBay. Go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://sfbay.craigslist.org/spo/">Craigslist.Com</a> and see what  items people buy and sell most often. Look at prices. Then go to eBay  and see, if you can get it cheaper. Once you find your niche, you can  buy things on eBay (or better yet, act as a representative for an eBay  powerseller) and sell them for a profit using local classifieds and  Craigslist. You can do this online as well. Set up a proxy store, and  when you get an order, simply buy the same item on eBay for less,  substituting shipping address from your own to that of your buyer.</p>
<p>3.     eBay copywriting. If you are good at copywriting, go to eBay and  look for highticket items, like boats.  Find auctions with totally sucky descriptions. Contact an owner and  inform him or her that good description of his or her item is likely to  increase the chances of that item being sold. Then offer your services  for a 1% of the selling price. You can use free eBay software</p>
<p>4.     Get Paid Writing Reviews. This idea comes from a blog called Business  Ideas That Work. A site called SoftwareJudge.Com pays up to 50  dollars per good review. However, if you are good at reviewing  software, you can do this on your own. Go to CNET or any other site that  lists software. Find sites that don’t have any reviews or testimonials.  Contact developers directly, offering them your review services. Good  reviews and testimonials increases sales, so you shouldn’t have any  difficulties convincing developers that they need your services. And you  get free software and games too! Oh, and you don&#8217;t have to limit  yourself to software alone.</p>
<p>5.    Social Bookmark Whoring (oops, I  meant to say PR). This is really easy money online. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://reddit.com/">RedDit</a> and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://digg.com/">Digg</a> can bring a crapload of traffic. And traffic means money. If you have  experience creating linkbate titles and getting to the top, why not  offer your services? Say, you charge 10 dollars for submitting news to  RedDit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Furl, NewsVine, Fark and all the other social  bookmarting sites. The key is to work only with interesting stories, so  you don’t become a spammer. 10 news a day and you are 100 dollars  richer. You can probably work out a deal with online PR agencies,  because they are totally clueless about this.</p>
<p>6.    Writing Google  AdWords Ads. Every time I see “Cake Icing. Used And New. eBay.Com” type  ads or “Four best sites on killing your wife”, it makes me wonder.  Aren’t there any GOOD AdWords ads copywriters? Look’s like a great job  to me. The ads are only three lines long and if you charge 10 bucks per  ad, you can make a lot of money. And the customers are easy to find,  too. Just look at all these terrible ads that Google displays on their  search engine and contextual network.</p>
<p>7.    Wacky blogs. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/">Steve Pavlina</a> gets over 300  dollars a day from AdSense alone, writing on wacky topics, like  polyphasic sleep, astral projection and psychic development. Or take <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.davidicke.com/content/category/4/13/26/">David Icke</a>,  who claims that president Bush in an alien and a reptilian. Your blog  doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be interesting.</p>
<p>8.    Blog  whoring. There are a number of services, like <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://payperpost.com/">PayPerPost.Com</a>, that pay for  promotional blogposts. Once again, you can do the same thing, cutting  the middleman out.</p>
<p>9.    Unique Personal Ads. Write memorable  personal ads for online daters. Most personal ads suck. “Hi, my name is  Bambie, I’m a Vergo, I’m 19 and I love dogs.” Here is <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://newsnotwanted.blogspot.com/2006/07/worlds-longest-and-funniest-personal.htm">my  favorite personal ad</a>. If people pay for resume writing, they might  pay for a great personal ad.</p>
<p>10.    <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.tickledbythunder.com/TbT/Services/03_Poet_4_Hire.html">Poet  For Hire</a>. This is nothing new. Still, if you love writing poetry,  why not make some money with your rhymes.</p>
<p>11.    Don’t EVEN THINK  about majoring in English, Medieval Literature, Journalism or GET A REAL  JOB, IF YOU WERE DUMB ENOUGH TO DO SO. Just kidding. If you love  writing, just write, and the money will follow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day I was watching a home improvement show on cable. The remodeler was installing a new deck, with an awesome built-in grill. I could practically taste the burgers and barbecue already.</p>
<p>But then he said something like, “Backyard parties and dinners from the grill won’t happen unless you begin building your deck with the right tools.”</p>
<p>The right tools… that’s what my grandfather always said when I was growing up.<span id="more-213"></span></p>
<p>It didn’t matter if I was making a soap box derby car, a napkin holder for a mother’s day present, or helping him install a new roof on our house. If he caught me trying to slide by with a tool that wasn’t right for the job he made me hustle and get the right one.</p>
<p>Usually these tools were very inexpensive, yet when I used them they saved me a ton of time because I could<br />work so much faster. It’s like that in affiliate marketing too.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you’re following the blueprints given to you in a $2000 course and have all the head knowledge in the world about affiliate marketing. If you don’t use the right tools it will take you<br />much longer to achieve your goals.</p>
<p>So here are a few tools that will save you time as an affiliate marketer:</p>
<p>* Using WordPress to create your blog. You do have a blog, right? I hope so, because a blog is one of the best ways to develop a following and build trust, which leads to increased sales. WordPress is the quickest way to set up a blog and a WordPress blog will show up in the search engines more quickly.</p>
<p>* Google Alerts and Google News. One of the fastest way to find ideas for content for your blog is to go to Google News and type in search terms for your niche. For example, I just typed “golf drives” into Google News. A story popped up about Tiger Woods and how he has maintained focus despite extra distractions this year. If I had a<br />blog in the golf niche this would be good material for a post about how to remain focused. You can also sign up to have Google Alerts send you an email with stories for certain phrases.</p>
<p>* WordPress plugins. From SEO to getting rid of spam comments, plugins are tools that will ensure that your blog operates at maximum efficiency.</p>
<p>Most of the above tools are free (some plugins have a small fee). All of them save you valuable time.</p>
<p>For one of the best “set it and forget it” tools for WordPress blogs, check out this plugin that will automatically insert Clickbank ads onto your blog:<br />WordPress ClickBank Plugin</p>

		<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pay per click (PPC) is by far one of the easiest and quickest methods of driving targeted, consistent traffic to your website. While this may seem like a daunting method of advertising for some, it’s actually quite easy and can end up becoming that one marketing method that you can&#8217;t live without.</p>
<p> What I’d like to do today is provide some tips and techniques that I personally use when creating and monitoring PPC ad&#8217;s.<br /> Hopefully these tips will help you in your future marketing endeavors.<br /> <span id="more-209"></span></p>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">Experimenting With Different Search Engines</p>
</div>
<p>There are many PPC search engines, with some being better than others. The top two are Google and Yahoo, which was previously known as Overture. It&#8217;s a good idea to start your PPC campaigns with a small budget, spreading it out over a few different search engines to experiment and see where your target market may be lurking.</p>
<p> Generally speaking, I’ve found Google Adwords is better for more technically orientated products or services, including software, hardware, web design etc. Yahoo, on the other hand, is better for general consumer products, including insurance, toys, music etc.</p>
<p> What I wrote in the previous paragraph is very general, and you should analyze your campaigns carefully to see where they are performing their best. We’ll discuss this in detail a little later in the article.</p>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">Selecting the Right Keywords</p>
</div>
<p>The keyword selection process is probably the most important of all when it comes to creating your PPC ad&#8217;s. You’ll need to select keywords that are specific to your product or service offering, but you need to be careful not to select keywords that are extremely popular, as this may deplete your PPC funds sooner than expected.</p>
<p> The keyword selection process begins by asking yourself just one question:</p>
<p> <em>“If I was searching for a product just like mine, which words or phrases would I search for?”</p>
<p> </em>Using your answer(s) to this question as your base, you can then use a thesaurus and common sense to start building your keyword list with plurals, synonyms, similar words, etc.</p>
<p> To see which keywords your competitors are using, simply try searching for them. If you see a PPC ad along the side for your competitor, then note that keyword down and add it to your list.</p>
<p> Another way of coming up with great keywords is to use the overture search suggestion tool: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/" target="_blank">http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/</a></p>
<p> Type in a set of keywords and it will list similar keywords, including the number of times that keyword has been searched for on Overture (Yahoo) in the last month!</p>
<p> There’s often a fine line between selecting keywords that are either too specific or keywords that are too general. Try to keep away from these, as they can often result in wasted CPC (Cost per click) funds.</p>
<p> A typical example of this would be an ad that I created recently for our latest product, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.interspire.com/trackpoint" target="_blank">TrackPoint</a>, which &#8212; not coincidently &#8212; is an internet marketing return on investment (ROI) tracking tool.  Although the product is heavily geared towards internet marketing, using such a broad term would have made it virtually impossible to compete with the other advertisers.</p>
<p> The term “internet marketing” is searched for 825,674 times per month on Overture alone. Combined with the huge number of different advertisers that target this keyword, the top bid for “internet marketing” on Google AdWords is $13.84 per click! With an average of 240 clicks per day, a single day of advertising alone would cost $505!</p>
<p> Now, unless you have an extremely high conversion rate of visitors to sales, or you&#8217;re selling a high priced item that usually has a high customer acquisition cost, I suggest targeting more specific keywords. Not only will this decrease your overall competition with other advertisers, but it will also increase the chances of turning your newly found web site visitors into customers.</p>
<p> Back to my earlier example, I chose to be specific with my keywords. One keyword was “ROI tracking”, which is searched for 1,828 times per month on Overture and has a much cheaper top bid. This keyword is also more targeted to the product I was marketing, meaning that a large percentage of people clicking on my ad should turn into customers.</p>
<p> It’s also helpful to note that taking the top bid is not always necessary, and anywhere in the top 5-10 can generate great leads. This really does come down to budget and analysis.<br /> <br style="font-weight: bold;" /></p>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">Attracting People to Your Ad</p>
</div>
<p>Now that we’ve selected our keywords, we need to get those searching to click on our ad, which in turn will result in them clicking through to our web site and potentially purchasing our product.</p>
<p> One of the simplest ways to get peoples attention is to use their search keywords in the title of your PPC ad. This has been proven to increase click-thru rates on ad&#8217;s by over 50%.</p>
<p> Why? Simple. If the potential customer is searching for “ROI Tracking” and the title of a PCP ad begins with “ROI Tracking”, then their attention will be grabbed instantly. He or she doesn’t need to know much else, other than that the PPC ad is catered specifically for him or her.</p>
<p> One thing to keep in mind is that you can sometimes create a more relevant title by combining your different keywords into one PPC ad. For example, I could have easily used something like “ROI Tracking PHP Script” as the title of my ad, which effectively would have decreased my click-thru rate, but definitely caters my ad more to a specific audience. Once again, this comes down to analysis and adjustment.</p>
<p> Another important technique to attract attention to your ad is to differentiate yourself from your competitors. In our particular case, the majority of our competition offer hosted solutions, whereby they manage the software on their servers in return for monthly or per traffic fees.</p>
<p> Our product caters to a different audience, those that want more control over their software, as well as those not wanting to pay monthly fees.  So, in this example, I would make the title of my ad “Pay no monthly or per traffic fees”.</p>
<p> Next &#8212; and this is where experimentation is extremely important &#8212; we need to create a description for our PPC ad that will attract the potential customer and let them know that our product is exactly what they are searching for. To do this, I start my ad&#8217;s description with “Track PPC, campaigns &amp; search”.</p>
<p> Finally, it’s good practice to add a “Call to action” at the bottom of your ad. If you’re not familiar with this term, its usually an instruction to tell the person to do something, such as “Click here to view a demo”, “Download Now”, etc.</p>
<p> Marketing experts seem to agree that the average human needs to be prompted to click on an ad or take action, so we&#8217;ll add this line to the end of our PPC ad&#8217;s description:</p>
<p> “Track PPC, campaigns &amp; search. Try demo!”</p>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">Reducing Click-Thru&#8217;s</p>
</div>
<p>Sometimes it’s important to reduce the number of clicks your PPC ad is receiving. This could be because you are attracting people who are only after free products/services, or even the wrong target market.</p>
<p> The two quickest ways to reduce click-thru&#8217;s are to make the description of your ad more targeted and to add the price of the product to the ad.</p>
<p> Making the description more targeted (as I’ve discussed above) can reduce your overall click-thru rate, but potentially increase the likelihood of a click resulting in a purchase.</p>
<p> In my earlier example, by adding the words “PHP script” to the description, we are effectively filtering out those looking for a hosted solution, downloadable software or even those with a server that isn&#8217;t capable of running PHP scripts.</p>
<p> We also increase the targeting of our ad because we now know that the majority of those clicking on the ad are looking for a PHP script, which is exactly what our product is.</p>
<p> Secondly, by adding the price of the product you are selling to the end of the ad, you instantly eliminate those looking for free products, and target those willing to purchase your product or service.<br /> <br style="font-weight: bold;" /></p>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">Tracking Your Clicks and Conversions</p>
</div>
<p>The fundamental core of a successful advertising campaign &#8212; whether it be a PPC ad, banner ad or even newspaper ad &#8212; is knowing whether or not your ad&#8217;s are actually converting into sales or not.If your ads aren’t making you money then you’re more that likely better off saving your advertising dollars and adjusting your ad&#8217;s or using your marketing budget elsewhere in your company.</p>
<p> Both Google and Overture have built in tracking and conversion tools that you can use to get a holistic view of your current PCP ad campaigns. You can even use external tools which let you add conversion code to your website to tell you exactly which of your ad&#8217;s are converting into sales and which aren’t. This is often referred to as knowing your ROI or Return on Investment.</p>
<p> We need to know exactly how much money we are making per dollar spent on every PPC ad. If the ROI is positive and we are making more money than we are spending, then the ad is working and we can use this knowledge to further improve our other ad&#8217;s or increase ad spending for that particular ad/set of keywords.</p>
<p> If, however, our ad&#8217;s are costing us more than they are returning, then we can reduce our spend, change our approach, or remove these ad&#8217;s altogether. It’s a rather simple formula, but frustratingly ignored by many advertisers.</p>
<p> You must track your ad&#8217;s if you want to succeed with any form of Internet advertising. You should also constantly monitor and adjust your ad&#8217;s according to how they are performing, your return on investment, etc.</p>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">Conclusion</p>
</div>
<p>Hopefully I’ve provided you with a clear insight into PPC advertising and techniques that you can use to improve your advertising campaigns. It pays &#8212; pun intended &#8212; to do your research and understand your target market, because the rewards can sometimes be much more than you expected.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Introduction</span></p>
<p>Running Google AdSense on your article website is a quick and easy way to generate revenue for your writing efforts. We&#8217;ve been using Google AdSense on many sites running our article manager, ArticleLive, both for testing and for real life revenue generation. We found after some testing and research that there were various techniques we could implement to optimize our AdSense ad’s and increase revenue. Today I&#8217;m going to share some of my favorite strategies.<br /><span id="more-205"></span><br />Direct from the horses mouth (move this to the beginning)</p>
<p>My first suggestion is to read Googles list of tips and tricks for optimizing Google AdSense:<br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/static.py?page=tips.html">https://www.google.com/AdSense/support/bin/static.py?page=tips.html</a></p>
<p>If you’re running a forum, here’s a quick list of tips direct from Google:<br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2005/10/six-adsense-optimization-tips-for.html">http://AdSense.blogspot.com/2005/10/six-AdSense-optimization-tips-for.html</a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Positioning</span></p>
<p>First and foremost, where you place your ad’s makes a huge direct difference in visibility of the ad, and therefore increases your chance of getting clicks. While some people stress that your ad’s should be highly visible upon first visit, i.e. top of the page, in some cases having your ad’s placed at the END of your article can actually increase click thru’s. Let’s say our article is a review of a specific digital camera, the Cannon IXUS 800 IS. (Incidentally, I love this camera and lost mine overseas).</p>
<p>When a user visits my site to read my review he or she is most likely going to read the article before clicking on any ad’s. It’s the reason they came to my site in the first place. By positioning my ad’s directly after my article on the same page I know my visitor has finished reading my article and may be ready to take action. An ad that offers a cheap price for the same camera I’m reviewing is now highly likely to get clicked on, especially if my review has been a positive one.</p>
<p>Try various ad placements. Tweak and test until you find something that works for you.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Look and Feel</span></p>
<p>Your AdSense ad’s should blend into the look and feel of your web site. Make suer you use the same font type,  size and color so advertisements don’t look like ad’s. On the other hand, sometimes visitors become ad blind so you need them to stand out. Again, test, test, test.</p>
<p>As I mentioned above, if you place your ad’s at the end of the article there’s a good chance your visitor will click on them. Keeping their style consistent with the rest of your page will make them appear as normal links, and therefore your visitors wont get scared off and think that the only reason you wrote the article is so they click on the ad.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Increase Relevancy</span></p>
<p>Google uses what we call robots to scan your web page to locate the best ad’s to serve. If Google does a poor job of recognizing your articles topic then the ad’s it displays will not be highly relevant. Improving the relevance of the ad’s displays means improving the probability that your readers will find interest in an advertisement and click on it.</p>
<p>There are a few things you should do to increase relevance. Firstly, use descriptive headings and try to be specific. For example, if you’re writing a review about a Canon IXS 800 Digital Camera, then your title should look something like: “Canon IXS 800 Digital Camera Review”. As obvious as it seems, some people tend to forget this and use less relevant headings such as IXS 800 Review.</p>
<p>Be sure to include the topic of the article in the page title as well as adding a detailed meta description and meta keywords. Keep them as focused as possible, using similar keywords found throughout your web page. Adding alt tags to your images can also help. For example, an image of the camera could have an alt tag of: “Canon IXS 800 Digital Camera Picture” and you could even add a descriptive caption to the image.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cater to Niche Topics</span></p>
<p>Targeting niche topics instead of general ones will result in two distinct benefits. First, your natural search engine competition is reduced dramatically. You get more targeted visitors interested in your niche topic, who will be shown more relevant ad’s, resulting in higher click rates.</p>
<p>Let’s take our digital camera website as an example. If I was to write a generic article about digital cameras I’d be competing with thousands if not millions of competitors. My Google Ad’s would be generic and the chance that my visitors will click on these ad’s is significantly reduced. On the other hand, however, by catering to a specific, targeted topic, I decrease my natural search competition, I increase my relevance both with visitors and ad’s and increase the likelihood of an ad click. </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use Correct File Names</span></p>
<p>The file name used for your web page is extremely important to Google AdSense and the ad’s that it shows. Using a simple test on my desktop PC, I created 2 blank HTML files with different names and added the Google AdSense code, nothing else. The first one, playstation-games.html showed these ad’s:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-206 aligncenter" title="adsense1" src="http://www.byrru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/adsense1.gif" alt="adsense1" width="145" height="242" /><br /><strong>digital-cameras.html</strong> showed these ad&#8217;s:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-207 aligncenter" title="adsense2" src="http://www.byrru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/adsense2.gif" alt="adsense2" width="146" height="244" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There was absolutely no other content in those files and the files were located on my desktop, so Google could not scan my web page for content.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Filtering Non Relevant Ad’s</span></p>
<p>With all the technical prowess of the Google robots, they can get it wrong. If your site is displaying totally irrelevant ad’s in relation to your websites content then there’s something wrong with your site. It could be that the robots are having a hard time crawling the site, or maybe the way your web page has been coded makes it hard for the robots to tell what topic the page is about. If the majority of the time, however, the ad’s are relevant but some irrelevant ones are still showing, then its time to start filtering.</p>
<p>By monitoring the ad’s on your site you can take a list of the domains of URL’s that don’t match the topic you are targeting, then, inside your Google AdSense account you can add this list of domains to your “Competition Filter”. By doing so, Google will stop showing ad’s from those domains.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rotating Colors</span></p>
<p>Sometimes regular visitors to websites become accustomed to ad’s and their brain filters them out. We call this ad blindness. If you know your site gets a lot of repeat visitors you could test automatically rotating color schemes for your ad’s.</p>
<p>Color rotation is supported by Google and lets AdSense automatically rotate through 4 different color variations of ad’s so your ad’s have a higher chance of being noticed by repeat visitors.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9981&amp;topic=156">https://www.google.com/AdSense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9981&amp;topic=156</a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Add More Content</span></p>
<p>The more content you have on your website, the more ad’s you can display. Having more content also means more pages listed in search engines and more pages for your visitors to browse through, meaning more website traffic. The more ad’s you can display, the higher the chance of a click thru.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Testing</span></p>
<p>You should constantly test and tweak your website for better ad revenue and click thrus. By comparing different ad types for different periods or on different pages you can determine which ad’s work better for your site. In saying this however, it’s best to test for a short period of time, optimize and move on. Spend your time creating rich, valuable content rather than optimizing for better click thrus. In the long term, great content always wins in generating more traffic to your site, which in turn generates more click thrus to the ad’s and puts more money in your pocket.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conclusion</span></p>
<p>There are plenty of other ways to optimize your ad’s and I’ll be writing about them in future tutorials. For now though, use what I’ve taught you in this article to better position your ad’s, testing placement, colors and ad sizes. You never know which little tweak might result in an increase of clicks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.byrru.com#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed">Free back links </a>is probably one of the easiest ways to significantly improve your Google Page Rank without spending any money. By investing some of your time, you can literally get backlinks from thousands of websites &#8211; many of them authority sites that can pass their value down to your page rank.</p>
<p><span id="more-86"></span>Backlinks makes you money. Top SEO experts know this because higher rankings means more traffic and more traffic means more money. This is why they often blow a small fortune on buying back links. There&#8217;s no doubt that buying a couple of high page rank back links can significantly boost your rankings. However, the &#8220;small guy&#8221; has one advantage and that is the ability to get out there and build thousands of free backlinks.</p>
<p>Because building free backlinks is so time consuming many SEO companies can&#8217;t afford to invest time in it. Just because it is free, you should never underestimate just how effective it can be. If you consistently build free back links, you can get your site up to a PR5 easily.</p>
<p>Getting free backlinks is so time consuming you have to do it right to maximize the linkjuice you get from each and every link. Spending hours building links that carry a low value is just a waste of time.</p>
<p><strong>Link building Mistake #1</strong></p>
<p>Reciprocal links used to be the link building strategy of choice a couple of years ago. Basically it&#8217;s an exchange of links between 2 sites. You link to me and I link to you. We both benefit, right? Well, not anymore. Reciprocal links are fast becoming absolute as Google is catching on to this practice. With link farms springing up all over the net, getting thousands of reciprocal links became too easy. One way links carries a lot more value and although reciprocal links are an easy way to get free links, it is time intensive and probably not even worth it anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Link building Mistake #2</strong></p>
<p>Google&#8217;s page rank algorithm is getting smarter and smarter. One of the big changes in the way page rank is calculated is Google&#8217;s ability to determine relevancy. This is where anchor text comes in. Anchor text is the highlighted hypertext that contains the actual link. What this allows Google to see is what the link is for. It helps them determine how relevant the link is based on the keywords and the site it&#8217;s linking to and from. When building free links you should always try and use anchor text in your back links. It will give you some additional link juice.</p>
<p><strong>Link building Mistake #3</strong></p>
<p>These days a lot of forums and blogs have a tag called the &#8220;nofollow tag&#8221; which basically tells the search engine spiders not to follow links in the site. If you get a backlink from a site with a nofollow tag it won&#8217;t be picked up by the search engines and it won&#8217;t count as a link. Although there&#8217;s a lot of debate on whether these actually count as links it is probably not worth your time and effort to build links from nofollow sites. Get yourself the SEO Addon for Firefox which will automatically highlight nofollow links.</p>
<p>Building free back links is all about getting as much link juice as possible for every link you build. It can take a lot of time to build free backlinks and maximizing the effects of each link goes without saying. By just avoiding these 3 mistakes you can exponentially increase the effectiveness of your links. Regardless of what you do, you have to keep building links. Links will get you ranked and links will make you more money.</p>
