A question that I’m often asked is where we should be manually pinging our blogs. And my usual answer is no, we don’t need to go out and manually ping each blog site. But what we do need to do is provide a ping list in our Blog Settings. That’s not all we need to do to make this process automatic – we should also install a plugin that will prevent you from pinging every time you edit a post, which will get you banned from the ping services – not good. Pinging will often result in backlinks – which is good!

The plugin that I use is free, and it’s called MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer Plugin – you can just go to their download site, download it, install it, activate and register it with them. So in exchange for your email you get a great Ping Optimizer.

Now, let me give you my ping list. To included this in your blog, go to your Dashboard, Settings, Writing, then scroll down to the bottom, and just paste it in. If you have any sites you’d like to see included – please, let me know!

Now you might not know what a linkwheel is, so I’m going to give you a really quick overview, then I’m going to send you on over to Beamer’s blog to read her really great explanation – you know how she makes everything so easy to understand, with all of her graphics and easy way of writing. I’m a typical geek – I think all of you know everything that I know, so I gloss right over the basics!

A linkwheel is literally a wheel that surrounds your money site – which is your main site that you hope to make the real money from. But part of your overall SEO strategy for linkbuilding should include a linkwheel, which consists of 5 to 8 Web 2.0 properties that all roll in a circle, and each one will also link back to your money site.

Confused yet? Ok, you’re off the hook! Head on over to 97Dollarebooks for a much better explanation! And if you don’t want to take the time to build one yourself and then build all those backlinks, just hire us!

I keep trying to come up with ways to help you guys, and not just be the pest who’s trying to sell you something. Sure, we’re all here to make a buck, I’m not going to deny that. But – sometimes I tend to lose site of the fact that lots of you listen to me, and try to figure out how to do what I’m doing.

So Beamer and I were talking – yeah, we’re really friends – and she knows that I don’t much like writing; well, I like writing to you, but I don’t have tons of time to sit here and write articles because I build these amazing blogs! So we came up with an idea, and and it’s just full of awesomeness!

So here’s the deal that we have for you guys – you know Beamer, she’s a very talented writer. And I’m great at building backlinks, and getting blogs and websites to rank in the search engines. So we decided to team up and mingle our two talents and offer them to you!

Since Beamer’s so good at writing, she put up a great sales page explaining what we’ll do for you – it’s over at FlipDiva’s and Beamer’s Backlinking Special – so you can go over there and take a look. I’ll give you a quick explanation here, but you really can’t miss reading what she wrote!

You’ll get ten original 500 hundred word articles, plus three spun versions, plus a syntax version that you can spin to your heart’s content, use it where ever you want. I’ll be busy submitting your website url’s to over over 30 high PR sites, as well as submitting your articles to Unique Article Wizard and Articlebot. You’re going to get thousands of backlinks from this – and I’m not kidding when I say THOUSANDS! What a deal!

Head on over now – but you should hurry, because we can only take so many orders. Boo’s been trying to help, but he’s not very fast at typing – but he’s trying!

If you look at your top competitors, and really, we’re only concerned with the top ten sites that pop up when we google our keyword – right? We want to know how many backlinks that they have. Because the backlinks are the key to what’s keeping those ten sites on the first page. So you look, and see that the #1 site has 250 backlinks – that’s not many at all when you stop and think about it. I mean, some sites have thousands upon thousands of backlinks.

So how best to get them, and get good “sticky” backlinks? Here’s my tip – I use Unique Article Wizard. The Wizard will submit your articles, while making them unique – to hundreds of directories. It will submit them any way that you choose. I can’t give away too much about how it works, because then I’d violate their TOS, and I don’t want to do that. But I can tell you that I decided a few months ago that I didn’t have time to keep using The Wiz, and so I canceled my membership.

Guess what? My sites were slowly falling down in the rankings because nothing new was happening. So I very quickly re-joined, and fell right back in love with The Wizard.

Now for those of you who really are too busy to submit articles, or you just want to submit a few articles, go ahead and give me a shout, and I’ll submit them for you for the low fee of $10 per article. You’ll get hundreds of backlinks from just one submission, so it’s worth far more than that, but I think you should try it at least once to see what happens!

You’re free to provide your own Pen Name, your own links, everything will be directed to your site – so if you want to give it a try, just let me know!

Backlinks tell the big G that we’re important – that other sites are linking back to us because there’s something really good on our site. The higher PR the site has that links to us, the more important we look. So how do we get these backlinks when no one really knows who we are yet? One common way is to go to other sites, become members, and leave a link back to our own site in our profile. This can be very time consuming and tedious, right? And if you’re a good little marketer, then you subscribe to Angela’s Backlinks and take the time to create your personas and leave your backlinks. This takes hours and hours, as we all know!

Well, I’m here to tell ya, now there’s a super easy way to do this, and it’s worth every darn penny you’re going to pay for it. It’s called Linking Loophole. Linking Loophole, or LL as I’ll call it, is written by Peter Drew and and he’s teamed up with Angela Edwards – smart guy – and he’s automated Angela’s Backlinks! Woooo Hooooo!

Here’s how it works. You start up LL, and you input a username related to your niche, and a password, click a button and it goes to Yahoo and creates an email address for you. And guess what – it even SOLVES the CAPTCHA! Now that you have your email addy, you select which – or all – of Angela’s sites you want an id created for, and hit create. Now you sit back and wait while it solves all the captchas, and then you go to your shiny new Yahoo account and confirm whatever accounts need activation. Once that’s done – takes just a couple of minutes – you go click the handy dandy Post button, and away it goes! You have the option to enter in four keywords that you want to be ranked for, and one to four pages you want bookmarked. That’s it – LL logs into the site, creates your profile, posts your keyword rich links, and logs you out. Then it goes right on to the next site. Cool, huh? When it’s finished, it presents you with a list of all of your site profiles, so that you have a record of them, can submit them to be bookmarked, etc.

This software is so powerful, I absolutely cannot believe it’s so inexpensive. It’s super easy to use, and the results are amazing. Within a week of one run against one of my sites, I went from page 3, number 3 all the way up to page 1, number 8!

This software isn’t going to be available to unlimited members – I’m sure that Peter will close the offer soon because he wants to avoid market saturation. I really want you to take advantage of this, so please head over to Linking Loophole and try out the free trial – you’ll be impressed!!!

There are two basic types of back links, reciprocal and one way. A reciprocal link means that your website and anther website have exchanged links pointing towards each others site. A one way link means that the other website points at your site, without you having to point back at their site. Obviously, a one way link is much better.

The more links that you have pointing back to your website the more importance that Google and the other search engines will place on your site. There are numerous ways to get back links, you can join an exchange, buy them, find websites that are similar in nature to your website and exchange links with them, or you can write articles.
