OK, there I said it.  Penguin Poop!

Hands wringing, head shaking, coffee guzzling, alcohol drinking, all symptoms of the internet marketer that has been pooped on by the penguin.  If you own more than a few websites that are trying to sell some kind of giddy gadget or other, then you know what I mean.

Let’s get out of the damn zoo Google.  Panda was bad enough but this bird that don’t fly has literally put thousands of IM’rs practically out of business.  Through the years I have tried just about every type of linking method that you could shake a chicken at.  Some worked, some did not, most of them were struck down in Panda.

Thankfully since Panda I have been concentrating on “contextual links” and am thanking my lucky stars that I did.  I had some crappy sites that were affected by the Penguin but not many.   My Adsense numbers have dropped by half but crazy as it sounds some of my obscure niches have more than doubled in affiliate sales.  No complaints.  So how do I get other website owners to link to me?

Well it ain’t easy, so I take things into my own hands.  One good method is to guest post on other quality sites in your niche.  I prefer to add just one keyword link in the article body content instead of a resource box at the bottom of the article.  That is if the owner will let me.  You want it to appear as natural as can be.  Cathy Stucker who I have written about here before offers a great clearinghouse for publishers that are looking for guest posts, and authors that have articles for you to publish.

I also do not keep jamming the same keyword over and over.  By varying the keyword to several that you would be happy to be known for, along with some raw url links and even some that just say ‘Click Here‘ or ‘Read More‘ will make it look like they are natural links and that they are not automated.  I’m also doing more deep linking to article titles and not just the domain url.

Is it a lot of work?  You betcha!
Does it cost a lot to get one of those contextual links, well yes and no.  If you purchase good 600 word articles they will cost from 6 to 10 bucks, or write them yourself which will only cost you about fifty bucks of your time.  I would never use spun content.

So you have to look at the ROI.  Is it worth it to you to pay a few bucks per quality link?  I believe it is because these links stick!  They get indexed.  They count favorably towards you quality score (if there actually is such a thing) in the Google algorithm.

One other good place to get some quality links that stick are in fiverr.  Search for gigs that mention ‘contextual’.  I can not recommend anyone in particular, but check their rating.  There are some of these fiverr sellers that take their job seriously and will do a great job for you.  Considering that they only get a measly four bucks out of the deal, it is a great bargain for you.

So let us know how the penguin treated you and if you have any awesome suggestions to help your site get quality backlinks, we are all eyes, and ears.

All together now, let’s poop on the penguin!

Its All About Backlinks

I’ve had enough.  There is not one single more “BEST money making idea in the universe that I need.

When you receive between 400 and 600 emails a day and 90% of them are automated email responders that you have opted into at the time of purchase of a WSO or some such fantastic offer that you can not refuse, it is time to regroup.

Mixed in with all the bull crap offers, most of which I never read and just tick them for mass delete, I might miss something really important from someone I care greatly about.  Oh sure, there are a few marketers that I admire and trust and their emails will be welcome as always.  Jon, Eric, Jack, Jeremy, Mark, and maybe a handful more will be read with great interest as always.  The rest of you can go suck putty balls.

If I get one more offer for retiring on the billions of dollars that I will make by publishing shit on the Kindle, I think my head will explode!  Jason is a carnival barker that giggles all the time he is fast talking his way through a webinar.  I refused to buy anything from him about a year ago.

The problem is that these guys network themselves into a cartel of shit spreaders so if you unsubscribe from one list the same band of thieves slide their crap under the door or, over the transom under the guise of your new best friend.  I’ve had it.  Enough!

Take a look at the dozens of most recent offers that you have received lately and see if you can instantly understand what the product is that they are selling.  If you are not able to instantly know what the product is, then guess what?  YOU are the product!

OK, so sour grapes you say.  Well maybe so.  I am sure that it has something to do with the fact that I have never felt confident enough to use an autoresponder.  I do not understand them.  I own some, am still paying on an AWEBER account every month that I never was able to get working.  One of these idiot companies talks to you in monkey speak.

Every guru circle, webinar, conference, email responder, etc. that I have ever responded to that had asked what else would I like to know?  I would always answer with “I need help in how to operate an email responder EXACTLY”.  Never, not one of them, ever responded with any semblance of an answer to my request with any kind of  help.

So here is what I do with internet marketing.  I write.  I publish hundreds of websites, all, each and every one of them with totally excellent content.  I then throw myself to the search engines and tell them how great my content is, and hope that over time I will get enough traffic that someone will actually want to buy some of my offers.

It is not exactly easy.  But I do make a living at it and my unusual niches actually surprise me sometimes.  Adsense dribbles in from time to time, which is a bonus, but do not ever count on Google helping you to make hundreds of thousands of dollars with Adsense.  Ain’t gonna happen.  Once they see you making some semblance of serious money, they slide you down in ranking.

Write good stuff.  Build backlinks, hundreds, thousands, millions of backlinks.  I never met a backlink I didn’t like.  Use social media, fiverr, the Warrior Forum, and then build some more backlinks.  Wait seven years like I have and then you will start to make some money.  Oh and those hundreds of thousands of backlinks that you built to your money sites five or six years ago, well they are gone.  Start all over again.  Internet Marketing is all about BACKLINKS.  I don’t give a crap what anyone tells you.  No links equals no money.

Have a nice day…

.EDU and .GOV backlinks are the best

Most marketers agree that if you can find .EDU and .GOV backlinks, you will have the best chance of success.

Between the Warrior Forum and fiverr you will be able to create about 80% of all the SEO you will need to get your site ranked.  For the past three months my own results have been awesome on the money sites that I want to keep going up to the top in serps.

fiverr for .EDU and .GOV Backlinks

With fiverr I just search for the type of links or promotions I want to do and then select to sort by rating.  This brings up the most popular gigs and the members with the best positive results.  It is good to use a mixture of various types of links, like directories, forum profiles, blog comments, and plenty of others that you will locate on fiverr.

Warrior Forum for .EDU and .GOV Backlinks

You will find many of the same types of things on the Warrior Special Offers (WSO) where you can purchase all types of the same kinds of links in various mixtures.  I’m here to tell you that these DO WORK!  After Panda I had lost almost ALL income from my Adsense and affiliate advertising websites and for a while considered getting the hell out of this business.  Our professional blogging service at 3rd Party Blog dot com, kept me interested enough to keep going and all of our clients were still pleased with their results so I kept going.

Guess what?  I re-evaluated my mish-mash of internet marketing websites and let a few go that had never performed much at all, and concentrated on the ones that used to make bacon.  With just starting up a new promotion campaign for all of the good sites, they all came back!  Panda is not death.  You CAN recover!

One of the VERY best methods of achieving an important authority position from the search engines is to have .edu and even .gov backlinks if you know how.

Which brings us to the most important part of this blog post.  How would you like to drive free high-PR .EDU back links, free of charge?  This idea is often touted by one WSO or another, I know because I have purchased almost all of them.  LOL !

But FINALLY I did find one that works and have now discovered dozens of easy methods to locate and to post those high valued anchor text links from .edu and even some .gov websites.

My serps have been climbing weekly and I now have my money sites all on page one and several in the top three of search returns.  It is really cool to be away from my computer during the day and come home to see several affiliate purchases and almost daily increases in Adsense.  Talk about your warm and fuzzies.

So I want you to go and have a look at my recommendation for a WSO that has been created by my new best friends and I am sure you will agree that this small investment in your online business will benefit greatly and you will likely cover the cost of the WSO in just one day, or one sale.  When you take action on these really easy methods of finding .edu and .gov backlinks it really does not get any easier.

.EDU and .GOV Backlinks Rule

The link provided HERE: is an affiliate link and I will make a commission when you purchase this WSO.
Those of you that know me know that I would not recommend anything that I have not purchased myself, tested and proven that it works as advertised.

This one is at the top of my list of favorites.

Oh, by the way, as with the 80/20 rule, the other 20% of SEO methods that you will eventually need is in regards to Guest Posting, but that is another story for another blog post.

You need them all folks, but this method with .edu and .gov links is right up at the top of the heap for high quality backlinks.

Here is a great video that shows how to use Google Webmaster Tools and if you follow these instructions you will not get in trouble.

Hi friends,

(Update: See BONUS Offer below)

(Update Number 2: As of this date, 09/12/10, we are still waiting for an update to fix some bugs and add new features, that were promised two months ago to be ready in one month.  The program does work, though with some bugs, but as it no longer meets my personal standards, I can no longer recommend it to my readers.  I have removed my affiliate links.  Buy it knowing that it has not been updated as promised. – Rich Hill.)

I know you all get hit every day with all of the greatest offers since the Internet was started, but I want you to know about this one, because I subscribed to this service program and am delighted with it.

Josh Spaulding has just released the Back Link Pro package which will automatically submit your link to over 600 good directories all in full auto mode and accomplished in a few hours.

Once you download and install the simple piece of software, you run the setup program, be sure to read the owner’s manual and watch the instructional video and in about twenty minutes, which is what it took me, you will have your site submitted to over 600, (soon to be more than 1,000) directories.

You will get a flood of emails from the directories noting that you have submitted and some of these will need to be approved, or some of them might require you to type in their captcha code, but when all is said and done you will have many very good and valid directory links.  You should probably create a new email address to use with this because your mailbox will get a ton of responses.

You can use this service to build links to all of your websites, both to the primary url, or to internal page links also and that is why this is called the Deep Linker.  Right now it is running in the background and I can click over to it and see the gradual progress as the software goes though its steps to automatically satisfy the requirements of each and every directory site.

Just think, thousands of backlinks to all of your websites and even to all of your internal sales page for just one very small investment.  You should know that I used to pay a service company to do this and each link used to cost $.14.  When you consider how many links you will be building this cost will become some thousands of parts of a penny!

Josh just opened this to the public at 5 am today, April 2nd, and if you act NOW you can still get in on the early bird special price.  Here is my affiliate link.

BONUS Offer:  If you missed the early bird special price I have a special deal for you.  Go ahead and grab this excellent software using my link just above here and then contact me with a copy of your receipt that shows you purchased from this website and I will provide you with one full year’s worth of targeted Tweets to your website articles.

This amounts to at least 365 tweets promoting your site.  That is a minimum of seven tweets per week for a whole year!  This will provide very targeted backlinks to your own offer at absolutely no extra cost.

Here is my affiliate link.

OK, so if you are like me you obsess on your Search Engine Ranking Position (SERPS.)  Over the past three years I have developed a manual method to search Google by keyword.

First I would go to advanced search and set the number of returns to be 100 per page instead of 10 per page.  Then I would type in the keyword that I have been trying to rank for and do the search.  You end up with 100 search results and of course you are trying to see if you are in the top 10 or even the top 100.

So then I used to scroll down one by one until I found my own listing and count my position.  Well about a year or so ago I discovered a way to not have to actually count the returns.  When you locate your listing you hover your mouse pointer over the grayed out word: “cached” near the bottom of the listing, and in the very long string of totally non-nonsensical characters at the bottom of the screen you look for the [CD= number] and that will be your SERPS position number.

So I talked to several programmer friends and asked if a script could be written to do all of this automatically.  At first the answer was always, sure, no problem, but when I asked for an actual price quote to do this everyone decided that they did not want to do it.

I even asked a very well known internet marketer to help me develop it and we would share the profits.  Didn’t happen.  I have been doing some VA business with people in the Philippines and in India both, and had put out feelers to get a price for programming such a tool, and suddenly it appeared in front of me developed by I don’t know who.

All I do know is that this thing is very helpful and the best thing is that it is totally free to use.  You can sign up for a free account and use it as much as you like to check all of your SERPS.  They also have a backlink checker that will show you how many backlinks you have coming to any url.

The website is new as of December 3rd and I can not figure out who owns this site, but it matters not.  It works and works well.  There is a message on one screen that says they have a paid version that will keep continuous tracking of your requests and will send you an email on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.  The only thing is that link does not work and there is no indication as to why.

Perhaps it is just in the free beta version and the paid version will come along later.

So the site is http://easyseotracking.com/

Go there, check your SERPS and Backlinks.

PS: this just in.  I have found the best way to get free dot gov and dot edu backlinks.  You will need the authority codes to find the right ones and you can download the free pdf at the link shown.

Here it is.  They say that you should give your best stuff away.  That is what I am doing here.

If you are a coder, go away.  This is stupid to you.  If you are not a coder and you are a beginning or intermediate blogger then this simple piece of HTML code can make you rich.

Look at it, burn it into your memory, never forget it!

<a href=””></a>

That little baby should be on your desktop, or instantly at the ready for when you are writing a blog post, or sending emails, or posting comments on blogs, or posting messages to forums.  That simple little piece of HTML code is your new best friend.

Every hyper link on the internet starts with that simple little piece of code.

Now I have said many times before, I am not a coder.  I had to learn every single thing I do by myself by reading, asking dumb questions, and trial and error.  You know what they say; “There is no such thing as a dumb question… except those are the easiest ones to answer!”

At first this little piece of code just looked like something crazy to me, but now let me try to explain it in non-technical terms.

The <a part gets the attention of the Wizard of OZ.  The href=” part tells the internet that the thing that comes next will be a url to somewhere.  The “> part says that everything before the close quote is the link and now I am going to point you to some text that I want the link to represent.  Finally the </a> means everything before the left pointing carrot is the previously mentioned anchor text and then the last slash a> closes it and says; “There I am a genius and I created an anchor text hyper link!”

Example: <a href=”http://www.alinkgoingtosomewebsite.com”>I am a genius</a>

Here is the easiest way to use this information.  Keep it handy as I said, and when you want to use it copy it into an HTML edit mode document and insert your url link between the quotes and insert your anchor text between the carrots, save and now you have it!

If you are using WordPress and you are creating a blog post you can select the “Visual” edit mode or the “HTML” edit mode and make sure you are using the latter when you paste in your final anchor text link.

Now go forth and spread your links.

Backlink Secrets

We write a lot about back links, that is the nature of the name of this site. Just as much as “Content is King”, well backlinks certainly could be called “Queen.”

If you will note over on the right hand column where the Alexa widget is it shows the Alexa score for this site, (which has been dropping nicely thanks to all of you recently,) and it also shows 173 backlinks.

Well 173 is a lie. I know for a fact that there are over 1,200 backlinks to this site but for some reason that only Google knows they only report a smidgen of them. Actually the Yahoo Site Explorer link tool is a better one to check, but even there they do not report them all.

I do not dwell on the reporting but do work on various forms of article marketing, blog commenting, forum posting, social posting, and asking others to write blog posts about my sites in order to get the highest quality form of back link.

Some sites for instance like niche marketing sites these methods are the only way you will ever get back links, so you do have to work at it. I have never and would not recommend buying links. I know that some savvy marketers do it, but with my luck I would get caught and can not take the chance. However, that said, a few good links from very high GPR sites are worth a ton more than the normal GPR 0 through say GPR 3 sites.

Pick some keywords that you want to become famous for and start your own backlink program, nice and easy does it. Say 2 to 5 back links per day would be fine, and no doubt more if you like, but I prefer the slow and steady method.I have been looking around the web to read what some others in this field recommend and want to share those sites here with you now.

Here is one of my favorite methods of getting links from .edu and .gov websites.  The link provided HERE: is an affiliate link and I will make a commission when you purchase this WSO.  I have purchased it myself and it works GREAT!

Here’s the way I see it. We all Blog, right? Well do you Flog for links?

You’ve heard it all before, write good content and other authority sites will link to you. Bull shit! In your dreams they will. The following procedures are of course nothing that I would do but you might like to know about the possibility of Flogging.

Some Bloggers set up multiple Blogs in every niche market that they intend to Blog in. Then after you have written several good posts on your primary niche marketing Blog, you can then start posting articles in the secondary Blogs, or as I like to call them Flogs, and include some nice anchor text keyword hyperlinks to your primary site. Simple right?

Now if you do decide to follow the Flog trail, make it real. Don’t just put junk articles on the Flogs, take your time and write some decent information. Think about previous articles that you have written on any of your Blog posts on other sites and decide if they would be appropriate to insert a short sentence or two in a previous post and include your anchor text link to…where else?

Another form of a Flog is a miscellaneous or catch-all type of Blog that has no particular theme and might have hundreds of Blog posts in any given category. You will have to be a little creative to come up with ideas on how to build such a site full of content in all different fields, but may I suggest perhaps you think about “RSS”? Some of this content can come from automated feeds as mentioned and some you can easily get for a few dollars as in Private label Rights (PLR) articles.

Don’t bother to tell me about duplicate content because I don’t care to hear it. I know what works, of course not that I have ever tried it personally…

You also might find this site of interest Make Money Online with Niche Support. These people all seem to be master Floggers, not that I would know of course…

Here is another cool place to get as many free links as you feel like applying for.  1 Family Classifieds will let you run free classified ads in any subject category and when you insert your free ad you can make an html anchor text hyperlink. Now don’t that just kick ass?

One new thing that you will notice here on the Blogging Make Money Blog at http://Linkmoney.org is that I have added the plugin for “Top Commentator.” See it over there on the right? Every month the top 5 (for now) commentators will receive a do-follow link in my sidebar. Just leave a good comment and you will be entered. Spammers will be banned.

So how about you? Are you ready to Flog?
Backlinks are very important you know.

Chalk up another hit for Jonathan Leger.  I wrote about Jonathan in a previous post where I recommended Automated Legal Backlinks as a method of building back links to your website.  Well now Jonathan has come out with a new service that is sort of Twitter like with a specific twist.

TipDrop.com is a free site that you can register at, get a username and password and then start dropping tips on what ever subject that you know things about that you want to share with others.  Everyone is knowledgeable in something and you are no exception.  You certainly know specific things about your job, your family, your hobbies, your website, your niche category and dozens of other categories that you excel in and that you would be willing to share with others and the quid-pro-quo is a backlink to your website.

Just like Twitter you keep your tips short and concise and right to the point.  State your tip and go on to the next one.  TipDrop.com is new and has had very little publicity yet.  Jonathan said today that he has just made a deal with an International press release company to kick off a major news announcement campaign.

He also states that in the first 24 hours this brand new website achieved 150,000 page views!  Wow!  Just think what a major advertising campaign will do for it.  The idea that you can add your two cents to help other people and in return you get traffic to your own website is a win win situation.

From the latest email that I received here are the steps to take to get started:
1. Create a free account at TipDrop.com
2. In your user settings, setup links to your web site.
3. Post quality tips on subjects you are knowledgeable in.
That’s all there is to it!  When people read your great tips and
visit your profile page, they’ll be able to click-through to your
web site.

What could possibly be easier?  I do not see this as a Twitter killer, but it absolutely positively will become massively popular.  You should get in on the ground floor and start dropping your tips.  Sign up now for a free account on TipDrop.com

Keep track of my posts about tipdrop.com on Twitter.  My user name on both Twitter and TipDrop are the same so follow me: linkmoneydotorg.

So when this Blog started it was going to be about making links. There was no plan, just “what the hey, let’s give it a go.” Then Linkmoney.org evolved into my blah, blah, blah about Blogging. Go figure. Read no more, download the FREE eBook now.

Well the more I have learned in the past two years of Internet Marketing or what I like to call Blogging Make Money, I know now more than ever that it takes links to get recognized as an authority site and to gain juice in the search engine rank positions. So we are almost full circle in that this post is again about making links.

Links in, or back links, or backlinks, whatever you want to call them are important. There is no question about it you need them. You no doubt have learned some of the ways to gain some respect and gain links in the process is to leave comments on Blog posts of other Bloggers in your niche and they in turn will give you a link in the comments area. Then you also use Twitter and a dozen other social media sites to promote your blog posts and each one of those will give you a link.

There is another very valuable resource to use to gain these precious links that add up to you becoming the cream of the crop for your niche, and that is Directory Listings. In the early days of link building there were some important directories that you could get listed in such as the Yahoo directory and DMOZ and the Best of the Web, and these are all still good to do, though difficult or costly now. However you have alternatives available. There are way over 1,000 directories scattered all over the world that are now recognized by the search engines as great sources of data to be included in their search indexes, and you should strive to have your blog listed in as many as you possibly can.

What we have for you today is a FREE eBook that you can download right here and it will outline just about everything you ever wanted to know about directory Listings and how to get listed. Here is a capsule outline of what is covered in the FREE eBook that I call,

Put Your Links in Over 1,000 Directories

Outline:
* Introduction to directories and directory submissions
* The importance and benefits of directory submissions
* Common myths about directory submissions
* How to make directory submissions yourself
* What happens after a site has been submitted?
* Recommended directory submissions
* Types of directories

Once you have read this book you will ask yourself “Why didn’t I start doing this a long time ago?” It is not too late to get started.

UPDATE: 01/15/10

As of this date I can no longer recommend the second product shown below either.  Use any of these types of  automated backlink programs at your own risk.  Google knows who you are and where you live.

UPDATE: 05/24/09

At the time I wrote this article I was quite enthralled with the NextGen product discussed, however since then I have had second thoughts and ultimately did unsubscribe.  There is nothing wrong with the advertised offer of this product and it does do what they make claims of, however they go about it in a way that i am not too keen on so decided to retire it.  The biggest objection to it that I had is that the outgoing links that get inserted on your website end up being kind of klunky looking box ads on the bottom of your website and they appear to break outside of the WordPress theme.

I did give it a pretty good run for a few months but I never really saw any backlinks being indexed by you know who and suspect that they might not have any weight but am not sure of that.

In any event I have switched over to another product to do the same thing but they do it in a much more valuable method and you can read about it in this link:  One Way Links

This new product actually posts articles that you write just like any standard article and you may put up to 3 html links with anchor text in each article and that article can get sent out to hundreds of websites.  Read the full instructions here at:  One Way Links

This is an unabashed glowing testimonial for a new way of creating backlinks.  I will qualify this by telling you that I am an affiliate advertiser for this product, but that is definitely not the reason for this testimonial.  The product is called NextGen Links, the way linking ought to be,

We get bombarded by scammers quite often trying to extort a little money out of our pockets for the service of providing us with wonderful backlinks to our website du jour.  If you recall I wrote about one such case where I experimented with one of these fabulous deals for 100 backlinks to my site for only $14.00.  These were to be links to the homepage of whatever site I chose, and they would be from “appropriate” websites.

I paid the money for one website, and over about a month I did receive notices that “my” links had been approved by this site or that.  Most all of the sites were in India and Asia, and some were nothing more than blatant link farms, and a few were from Adult sites.  So much for appropriate.  Too late, the damage was done.

Within two months my site was delisted by the Big G.  If you search on the domain name it does show up in the search index, but there is absolutely no data following the domain name.  You can never locate it in the serps by any of the article titles or article keywords.

It is Not Nice to Fool Mother Google

So I must admit, when I first heard about this new product I took a quick glance with trepidation as I had no intention of purchasing it.  Then I dug a little deeper and listened to the audio interview between Willie Crawford and Charles Kassotis, the top dog at NGL, about this new automated backlink generating system and I thought hmmm.

Well it was being promoted by Willie Crawford, a legend in Internet Marketing success, and he unabashedly recommended it with no reservations.  That fact alone made me feel much better.  So I drilled down another level and looked at the demonstration videos provided by NextGen Links and when you see how it works it makes real good sense to give it a go.

I hate these sales funnels where you have to go down, down, down to find out what the Hell the price is, so I’ll tell you right up front.  The entry level is $37.00 monthly and that is for up to ten of your domains with 500 unique url’s each.  There are various other packages at higher prices that go all the way up to an Enterprise level for SEO specialists that sell linking services as part of their SEO marketing package.

What is different about NextGen Links is that the system is automated.  You may select to trust the system to provide backlinks to each and every one of your internal unique urls, or you may elect to use the monitored process, which is what I do, to stay aware of what links that I send out and to what websites are sending backlinks in to my deep pages.

The way it works is that you receive a small piece of invisible code that you insert in your website, on WordPress Blogs I put it in the footer, just as you would Analytics code, and then you “Spider” your own site with either a downloadable tool, or use the online version from NextGen Links.  The graphical spider is a little creepy, but you can turn that off.  You can minimize the window and go about your business while the crawling is being done.

If you have a lengthy website it might take quite a long time for the spider to crawl your Blog, some were done in a few minutes and one site took 2.5 hours, and when it is complete the spider has now created a csv file which you upload to NextGen Links.  All of this might sound like it is complicated, but it is not.

I just checked the dashboard stats and in the first three full days of operation I have sent out 54 individual unique links that have been accepted and I have received in 11 of them from other websites to be included in my posts.  There is a quid pro quo of course, but all of the links that I approved are from good valid websites and the subject matter does relate to the post on my site, so I think they are a plus to the article.  If you are a niche marketer that does not want your readers to be able to link out to anyplace other than your own sales page you might be missing a golden opportunity.  Look at how many millions of more eyes will see links to your pages.

I have installed this tool on five of my niche sites and not on my major content Blogs yet.  I always like to test things before I go whole hog on anything, but I have a feeling that I am going to be adding this most excellent feature on hundreds of websites.  Oh, I almost forgot, you get to approve the websites that are accepting your links also.

Here is something pretty strange that I discovered.  On two of my sites that I had just recently updated to WordPres 2.7, the spider would not crawl.  After checking all the plugins and sitemap and internal SEO features of my Blog I discovered that for some reason the “Privacy” tab had defaulted to private.  None of the search engines have been able to crawl through those sites since I upgraded.  I have no idea how that happened but I’ll tell you this.  I did NOT set that tab to private.  Now I am checking all of my hundred plus other Blogs for that privacy setting.  Actually I would have never known it without installing the NextGen Links system.

The dashboard on the backend is totally awesome!  It is so intuitive and easy to use, that you will get the hang of it the very first time you use it.  You are allowed to approve only eight outgoing links per day per website.  The reason for this is so you will not receive a penalty for link cramming.  The search engine Gods like to see normal, gradual, relative and “appropriate” links developing over time.  This system fills that requirement nicely.

What you receive is totally context relevant links in that you can select where you want to display them, and all links are to individual internal posts.  These links do not just point to your homepage.  They are all deep links.

There is a forum attached to your account where others have posted questions and comments and the tech support responds very quickly, (almost immediately in my two cases,) with answers to any of your questions.  You will also become registered automatically with an affiliate sales account for this product as soon as you become a member.

Let’s cut to the chase.  I wholeheartedly endorse this system.  The price of $37 to get thousands of links to every single deep page of your websites, that come from other websites in your niche or that closely resembles your niche, is just a fabulous deal!

Oh by the way, the first two weeks are FREE!

If you have read this far, please read the very top of this article for the latest update.  Rich Hill – 01/15/10.

Holy Bat Dung, Batman, this really, really, really blew my mind!

Quoting Randfish, in part, on the SEOmoz Blog today in his excellent report about one of their new SEO utilities called Linkscape.  “The Internet is really, really, really Big…” and “if your [website] page has 100 [or more] external links to it, you are in the top 1/10th of one percent of all of the pages on the web”, and “On the entire web, the vast majority of websites never get 100 links pointing to them!”

Here is what I gained out of this morning’s RSS feed from the SEOmoz Blog,

Linkscape goes out with its own bots or spiders and they crawl the web indexing everything that they possibly can, and then you are allowed to use this compiled data for your own SEO purposes.  Since they created this tool and started crawling and collecting data for the 4th quarter of 2008 they have had two major updates.

You will want to read this full report by Rand because his numbers are staggering.  I see that they have crawled over 36 Billion url’s and he also states that their database may only be from 1/3 to ½ of what some of the bigger companies, (like you know who,) have compiled.

That is 36 Billion, with a “B” folks.

I’m also presuming that at this size there are probably some millions of new websites being built every day, and each and every one of them are trying to get a little bit of that fish food that is in front of you in this humongous aquarium called the Internet.

You must go and read the report yourself.  I have printed it out and hung it over my monitor.  I’ve really, really, really got to work harder.

Gotta go get some links.

Update: 5/25/09 – Speaking of really big, I had to go to New York City recently on business and I was not sure where I was going to stay.  So I found this website that I want to share with you for booking your hotel or motel room in the Big Apple.  The site is: New York Motels and there are free descriptions of rooms and amenities of all the best hotels and motels in Mahattan as well as reviews of the really cheap hotels as well.  We recommend that you go to this site to check prices and availability and you may also make your room reservation right from the New York Motels website.

You all know that in SEO that there is a right way (white hat,) a wrong way (black hat,) and a sort of in-between way (grey hat,) method of obtaining a good Google rank for your keyword of choice. I am not going to tell you any specific methods of white or grey ways because they are discussed ad nauseum throughout the whole Inter-webs and beyond.

I do want to tell you about a case in point of a wrong way that I can speak from experience on, and you are welcome to make comments or ask questions regarding same.

Here is the scenario. About six months ago I purchased a dropped domain name that is an absolute killer, very common three word phrase, that is a marketers dream for a domain name. These words fall into the class of Top 10 best, Best Deals Online, etc. They are three words that always would be used with a specific target product of any type, and not likely that anyone would ever use just those three words alone, and by the way it is a dot com and no hyphens. Oh and it came with a GPR of 3/10.

I had great hopes for this domain and commenced writing articles humping various affiliate products. All was going real well, traffic was starting to build and then one late night offer was too good to resist. You know the type, “100 links from high quality websites, spaced out over a month, guaranteed quality links, only $14.00,” blah, blah, blah…

What the heck, it’s worth a shot right? Wrong.

The company in India did exactly what they said they would do and starting in about two weeks I started to get notices of various websites that would send me an email saying that my link had been accepted for their website and when ever I checked them they were indeed applied. By the end of the month the 100 guaranteed quality links were posted and I started to get tons of offers to increase my fabulous deal. No thanks. Oh yeah, some of the quality sites were X rated.

This excellent domain name still ranks number one for the three word domain name, but that is all that it does. There is absolutely no data shown in the serps for this site, just the domain name, nothing cached, no article titles, no article excerpts, nothing, zip, nada. It’s great to be in first place, but remember no one would ever use just those three words without a product or item included as well. So I reign supreme over everyone with this site, but you will never know it. The site now has a GPR 0/10.

You no doubt have heard that Google uses a sandbox to stick brand new websites in so that they don’t just pop up over night ranking for a keyword over all of their good paying customers. There is a lot of discussion from many people that are all very experienced and most all of them have differing opinions as to whether or not there is such a thing.

I did a little searching on the subject and found some older posts from a few years back where this was talked about, and a couple of them are as follows:

webmasterworld.com

The existence of a new-site “sandbox” (which delays the site being ranked well for months) has been a topic of debate among SEOs.

From a forum that I did not record the url for:

In reply to a question, Matt Cutts of Google said that there wasn’t a sandbox, but the algorithm might affect some sites, under some circumstances, in a way that a webmaster would perceive as being sandboxed.

Mark Mason told me in a recent message that there was no such thing as a sandbox, but call it what you will, this little treasure chest of a domain name is in limbo somewhere. Not one article comes up in G search anywhere.

What am I going to do about it? Not much. I will still write articles for it and not lean on any affiliate deals, just put up articles discussing marketing in general. I will still do some article submissions and link to it, but I will not ask anyone to link to this site, not ever. I will strive to put up quality content and hope that at some time in the future it will have the dark cloud lifted.

I suppose I could go back and try to have some of those 100 links removed but that is a huge pain in the ass. This one site out of over a hundred niche sites and a few primary Blogs is not going to kill me. I learned a huge lesson that I will never forget. The site cost fifteen bucks and some man hours. I’ll move on.

Was I trying to game the system, you bet. Did I know better, you bet. Did I think I would ever get caught, no way. Please take my word for it, don’t try anything like this.

In case you think, well there is no way I would get caught, just think of some of the things that we all do without even thinking. Most of the people I know in Internet Marketing are using WordPress Blogs. If you do, you no doubt use Akismet as a spam blocker right? Well every time you activate Akismet you must include your unique WordPress API key right? Do you think that Mother G does not know each and every site that you own or operate?

If you use Adsense, and most marketers do, then your Google ID is known. If you use Google Analytics, then your G-ID is known. So it doesn’t matter if you spread your websites out over several different hosting companies, there is no place to hide.

Remember, it is not nice to fool Mother Google.

Wow, Twitter never ceases to amaze me. One of my latest Twitter followers is DNfame.

So naturally I checked out the associated link and was blown away! DNfame dot com is a F.R.E.E. Tool that almost instantly reports on tons of metrics for any domain name that you type in the search box.

It couldn’t be any easier. Go to the website, type in the url you want to check and as fast as your ISP connection will allow, it returns all of the data listed below:

Rank Data:
Google GPR
Alexa Rank
Famous Rank
Compete
Quantcast
Technorati Rank
Technorati Authority

Listings Data:
DMOZ
Yahoo Directory
Archive dot org

Search Engine Backlinks:
Google
Yahoo
Alltheweb
AltaVista
Alexa Search
Lycos
Cuil

Social Resources:
Delicious
Furl
Reddit
Su.bscri.be
Faves
Clipmark
Blogmarks
Propeller
Jumptags

This is a very humbling experience when you search on your own children. Websites that you have worked extremely hard on for a year or more returning paltry numbers might have a tendency to discourage you after all of the effort that you have put in to it.

I would prefer to take that data and make a plan to sally forth and do battle! Knowing what you know now by using this tool you should be able to go out and kick some ass. Find your weak points and compare them against your competition and you will instantly discover what you have to do to excel.

I must admit I have never heard of some of the sites that are used in this tool, but they probably all bear looking in to. DMOZ is so hard to get in to and Google says they use the information on that site quite a bit so I would like to know what one has to do to get listed in DMOZ.

I have always been of the opinion that I don’t care where my sites rank in the above stats, and that it is more important to work on getting your keywords to rank on the first page of Google. I actually still believe that, but it wouldn’t hurt to work on improving the above stats and in turn that would likely help your keyword ranking. The proof will be in the pudding.

Thanks to DNfame.com for twittering and a VERY BIG THANKS for letting me know about this FABULOUS TOOL !!!
