Just like location, you just can’t beat good content. The Google Meisters will tell you that if you have good content, that others will link to you. Well, maybe. But there is no doubt about it, if you have good content and it is interesting and helpful to the reader, then Google will shower you with blessings and you just might wiggle upward in the search results.

So if you have one or two blogs about something that really interests you, and that you have quite a bit of good knowledge to share, then the writing should come easy to you. You either have it or you don’t. If you can sit down and whip out an article real fast, say in five or ten minutes, and then give yourself a couple of minutes to go back and proof and correct your typos, then you are a really good writer. Congratulations.

Now what if you are a niche marketer that publishes dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of websites humping products and services of all kinds, sort of like someone I know real well. Then the writing becomes a little difficult at times.

So I am going to unleash three of my secret weapons for great content, of which you will thank me for profusely. There is just no way that I can write dozens of articles a day, well not with all the other things I have to do. So I am going to give you a recommendation from the bottom of my heart.

I employ many writers with varying degrees of proficiency and cost. The very best one that I use and who has been writing for me going on three years now is Douglas at American Article Writer dot com.

Douglas is a retired American chemist that lives in the Philippine Islands permanently and with the cost of living as low as it is there the price that he is able to offer will amaze you. In a way I hate to share this secret weapon, but he deserves some good publicity and I know you will be delighted with his work. He can write on virtually any subject.

The second resource that I use for great content is my friend Rosie who offers awesome Private Label Rights (PLR) content articles that you can rewrite slightly and use for your niche marketing websites or for parallel blogs that provide backlinks.

This type of content has been used by others previously and even though Google does not ‘punish’ you for using duplicate content, they also do not bother to give you any ranking points if the article has been published before. So it is really easy to just reword some of the synonyms, change some sentences around, keep the same meaning and insert your keywords of choice to use as filler articles on your many blogs.

So as a get acquainted special Rosie will give you an absolutely free 12 pack of PLR articles on the Weight Loss niche.  Even if you do not have a weight loss blog you should download the free weight loss article pack and see the types of articles that she can provide for you.

Thirdly for great content articles we recommend that you hire a full time virtual assistant.  Check out the site at VirtualAssistant-Jobs.com and see the types of writers and content providers that you can find in the Philippines.

So no whining from now on about Blog SEO.  You have no excuses for not having great content, content, content.

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.

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.

You may read the previous article about this here:
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.

Here is how you can set up a no-cost 125X125 Banner Ad on 5,000 websites very quickly. ( No-cost as in FREE ! )

Just set up a free account with 125exchange.com

Then you upload your own 125X125 banner ad for your website and it gets immediately posted on 5,000 websites.

Then you create a place on your website for a 125X125 banner ad, and insert their code and you get revolving ads that you can make relevant to your website topic and everything is a free trade.

If you don’t know how to make your own 125 banner ad, I wrote a Blog post about it a while back on my LinkMoney dot org website.

Here is the link: How to Make a 125 Banner Ad

This is an excellent way to cross-promote your Blog with other like-minded Bloggers.

Subscribe via RSS:

We have had an RSS Subscribe method for some time, but readers were not able to find it easily. We now have a nice big RSS button that works very well. We want you all to subscribe and keep up to date with our postings as they come out.

Three New Plugins:

LinkMoney now uses three new plugins; KeywordLUV, Show Top Commentator (widget version,) and we also added Lucia’s Linky Love. These plugins will put some minimal restrictions on when and how do-follow juice is awarded to commentators.

These new features, such as CommentLUV, KeywordLUV, Show Top Commentator and Lucia’s Linky Love offer benefits to both the Blog being commented on, and to the commentator. The Blog gains more traffic because readers are encouraged to make comments, and the commentator gains a backlink that is keyword rich when the comment is relevant, not spammy, and offers value to the Blog post.

The minimal restrictions installed require a commentator to leave more than a certain number of comments (right now the number is very low, subject to change if necessary,) before gaining LinkLUV. That keeps the hoards from just skimming through the web and finding places to drop their drivel.

Networking:

These new features added to the LinkMoney (dot org) Blog are installed to encourage readers to network with like minded readers and to share information as well as building some traffic generators.

I wrote a previous post about CommentLUV plugin.

These plugins are discussed with great clarity on the following Blogs:

Backlink Policy:

If you find this Blog of interest or help to you in some way, we would REALLY appreciate receiving your backlink. Send an email to richhill at linkmoney dot org to let us know about your link, you will receive two links back from some of my other Blogs. That way they will be one way links and according to many people they might have more weight than a two-way link.

We reserve the right to reject inappropriate link sites.

The wordPress plugin CommentLUV is now installed for an undisclosed testing period.

You will get a link to your website using a keyword that you select by leaving comments on this Blog.

Normally when you leave a comment on a site they ask you for your name, email address and website url. This Blog will keep doing the same thing, however you can choose the keywork or phrase that you want to use by putting it in the name box.

Let’s say your name is Gertrude Blatz and you have a website named LadiesHouseholdFurnishingsAndClothing dot com. Normally you would put “Gertrude” or “Gertrude Blatz” in the name box.

Now let’s say you want to become known as a specialist in and to get high rankings for the keyword phrase “leather pocketbooks.”

Now instead of putting your name in the name box use the keyword phrase “leather pocketbooks.” That way when a reader finds your comment of interest and wants to see what type of a website you have they will click on the keyword phrase to go to your website and you just received a free vote in ranking.

Here’s the deal. This is an experiment and I might pull it at any time for any reason, but you can be sure that if you intend to spam or scam this generous offer I will wish a POX upon you and all of your goats.

Keep the comments relative to the subject, make them interesting and helpful and you will gain great benefits. No one likes negativity so keep it upbeat.

Thank you Gertrude for letting me use you as an example.

Rich Hill

ps: Chris Guthrie has posted an excellent article on back scratching.

See also: CommentLUV, KeywordLUV and lucy’s Linky Love here.

Normally when you leave a comment on a Blog they ask you for your name, your email address (never shared…) and your website url. Then you write your message and hit “Post Comment.”

Regardless of whether or not the Blog uses the no-follow or the do-follow command you will get a link to your website, but the keyword used is your name. That is not what you want to do. You want the link to have some meaning in order to gain some additional ranking.

If all goes well and the Blog allows comments as entered, that is all you have to do. Some Blogs, certainly not all, and probably not even a high percentage of Blogs, allow you to use a minimal amount of HTML code in your comment.

These codes are good for emphasis, italics, bold, etc. Then there is the Link Code.

This instruction is similar in nature to the one I posted about How to Make a 125X125 Banner Ad

Now these are very simple procedures to anyone who has even a rudimentary knowledge of HTML, but these little details I had to learn by trial and error. Programming does not come easy to me, as a matter of fact, I STILL hate programming.

However… Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. So I learned how to do this and I want to share it with you in case it might help you to understand this magic a little better too.

So as you are surfing and find a Blog that you feel you can make a contribution to the discussion on, here is a way to add a link within the content of the comment message. Mind you not all Blogs will let you do this. Some just will not accept it and some await moderation and then you get the heave ho.

So what I like to do is look at some of the other comments on each Blog and see if anyone else has posted any HTML links. If they did, then chances are yours will work too.

Here is the simple code with some various examples:

First the href command instructs which website url to go to, then the second part describes the words the viewer sees in the link.

<a href=”http://linkmoney.org”>LinkMoney.org</a> LinkMoney.org (This one will take you to this website and the keyword that the viewer will see is “LinkMoney.org”.)

Now if you want to use some keywords that you are trying to rank for, then you can change the last part of the line to something like this: <a href=”http://linkmoney.org”>Link Money</a> Link Money (Now what the viewer sees is just the two words “Link Money”.) This also happens to be a keyword phrase that I like to see advancing in the serps ranking.

Here is another case, of one that I use for a client:

<a href=”http://edgecustom.com”>Handgun Hunting Holster</a> EdgeCustom.com

But my friend Dan wants to become ranked for the keywords “Handgun Hunting Holster” so all I have to do is change the code to: <a href=”http://edgecustom.com”>Handgun Hunting Holster</a> Handgun Hunting Holster

This way any time someone clicks on the link keywords, that is the phrase that the search engines rank you on.

Another of my friends, Ol’ Squeeze at Hunting With a Handgun said he did not want to be left out of this Blog post, so here ya go Squeeze.

Whatever you do, please use this with care and only make a comment that is relative to the discussion. If you just say some crap like Nice Post, thanks, well then you will get the toss. Some people get really really pissed at others trying to take advantage of their hard work and good reputation.

Keep it relative.

Try it out. Soon you’ll be wearing diamonds in your naval.

A few days ago I submitted a comment on Michael Martine’s very fine Remarkablogger website in which I asked him to describe three often used phrases in website promotions. The three terms were; Anchor Text, Backlinks and Nofollow.  Well Michael, true to his word, did just that in today’s post which you should read at SEO for Beginners.

The one thing that struck me the most was that Anchor Text is the actual text you use in the link, like the word “Rebarkablogger” above.  One should never use such as “Click Here,” because the search engines actually index the Anchor Text.

Thanks again Michael.

Oh and Michael also recommends very highly a very easy to understand ebook titled SEO School and he provides a discount coupon from his website.
