Keyword Phrases In Linking text:
http://linkingmatters.com/linkingtext.html
Linking text, sometimes called anchor text is the clickable text that
takes people to another page or resource.
Mastering the skill of using keyword phrases in your linking text is one of
the critical secrets to understand in developing an effective link building
strategy.
Take special notice of the importance of using this technique in your
INTERNAL links within your website!
(3) (3) (3) (3)
You should be aware of the penalties search engines can inflict.
Vary
keywords in linking text:

for other webmasters to choose in linking to your website.
Change these
options
AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH. (4) (4) (4) (4)

Use this Text-to-Hyperlink Conversion Tool
http://thephantomwriters.com/link-builder.pl If you
have an HTML ezine or publish articles online, you should
MAKE SURE ALL OF
THE URLS IN THE ARTICLE ARE HYPERLINKED. Hyperlinking only the url in the
resource box is
not enough. If your articles are online, and you
have referenced your own website in the article, check to make sure the links
are live.
You will find some article banks where the urls within
articles are not hyperlinked. Whenever you encounter this state, alert the
editor to the above easy-to-use tool.
Also, express your strong
preference for articles with live links.
By the way, you can edit your
own articles with some article banks to include live hyperlinks. Where
appropriate use the above tool to make your article links live and improve your
link popularity.

http://www.howtomanageyourtime.com/ (12-37)
Backlinks (Incoming Links) (12) (12) (12) (12)
Write and publish articles online. Informed opinion has
it that
BACKLINKS, that is, one-way, incoming links are
MORE
VALUABLE than reciprocal links.
If the backlink is from a high PR,
high traffic site, it should prove to be extremely valuable both in terms of
traffic and link popularity.
The absolute best way to get backlinks
from high quality sites is to write and publish articles online.
Therefore, I have included extensive data for you to utilize.
There are five main distribution channels for your articles that you
should concentrate on:
(1)Article Banks or Directories
(2)Announcement Lists
(3)Ezines that have an online archive
(4)Ezine Editors
(5)Individual websites that publish articles
Article Banks or Directories Here are a number of
different sources:
http://www.coachmaria.com/articles/articlebanks.html
http://www.arcanaweb.com/resources/article-directories.html
Announcement Lists http://www.homebiztools.com/article-lists.htm http://1clickprofitst.com/article-directories.html
Yahoo Groups
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Content/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce_list/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freecontentarticles/
Ezines That Have An Online Archive You should make it a
top priority to start and build a file that lists ezines with an online archive.
SUBMIT TO THESE EZINES FIRST. Use your judgement. How up
to date is the archive? How many subscribers?? What's the Alexa rating?
By the way, if you
ADVERTISE in ezines that have an online
archive, any links in the ad that reference your own websites will add to your
link popularity.
Ezine Editors You will be using
mainly ezine directories:
Some editors print their ezine online but do
not have an online archive.

Article Distribution Here are two paid article distribution services
that I have used with good results:
http://thephantomwriters.com/x.pl/tpw/info/distribution/index.html
The service above was the first I used for the article below:
"Internet Marketing Strategy:The Advertising Co-op" If
you copy and paste the article title above, including quotes, at
http://google.com, you will see the
extent of this article's distribution.
Most of these links are
BACKLINKS! I manually submitted this article to about 10-15
websites, but it was very time consuming. After using Phantom Writers the
distribution grew to about 250.
After six months I used isnare for
further paid distribution.
http://isnare.com/distribution.php This service has a
very moderate cost.

After reading this article you should realize that you can get two
gigantic benefits from your online articles:
improved link popularity
free website traffic from search engines when your article shows up
If Your Writing Skills Are Poor Or Insufficient Writing
and publishing articles online has such a tremendous benefit, but what if you
can't write well, or worse, don't feel you have enough knowledge??
Pick
a hot topic and get a ghost writer!
A ghost written article means the
article is published with your name as the author.

receive will more than make up for the cost when your ghost written article
becomes widely distributed.

Use
testimonials as a linking strategy.
These are testimonials that you
provide to webmasters of high traffic, high page rank websites.
Give
genuine testimonials of appreciation for tools or resources of a particular
website.
When you send the webmaster the testimonial, give permission to
quote you using your
FULL NAME and specific city, state, and country.
Politely, request that a hyperlink back to your website be included in
the citation.
By the way, what Internet marketer has used this technique
the most?
By a wide margin I'd say it's
Joe Vitale!
(28) (28) (28) (28)
Write a review of a high traffic
website.
Contact the webmaster and offer the free use of your review (in
whole or in part) in return for a backlink.
Use keyword rich anchor
text in your backlink. (29) (29) (29) (29)
Develop niche
website software where the user must leave intact a small notice that links to
your website.
LMA uses this concept. Over time Duncan Carver, the
originator of LMA, is likely to have hundreds of thousands of websites linking
to his chosen website or sites through their use of LMA.
You must give
this tactic some deep thought and try to come up with suitable software that
would be installed on a user's website.
All you have to do is come up
with the
IDEA. You can always go to an appropriate website and
hire a programmer to develop the software for you such as:
http://www.guru.com/index.cfm The return on investment
could be huge!
Be sure to have a
Confidentiality Agreement
prepared, that interested parties have to sign and return to you before you
reveal your software idea.
http://www.bitlaw.com/forms/nda.html Make sense??
(30) (30) (30) (30)
Develop software that can be downloaded
free from your website, and have download websites list it and link to it.
http://download.com
http://www.simtel.net/welcome.php Also, post to
forums, blogs, and newsgroups to alert them to your free software and state
anyone can link to it.
As an alternative you may have the software
resource, exclusively to be used at your site (no download function).
By
the way, do you think it would be a good idea
to make the linking text
keyword rich?? (lol) Remember to vary the suggested anchor text as
you post notices around the net.
(SECRET #3) (31) (31) (31)
(31)
Be Interviewed! Complete with backlinks to your site
or sites, of course.
Use your imagination. Radio, TV, print media,
ezines, even an email interview.
(32) (32) (32) (32)
Join
associations or trade groups within your industry. Make sure their online sites
have good page rank and have backlinks to their members websites.
(33) (33) (33) (33)
B2B websites should have contract
language that specifically requires a backlink in pages that have already been
indexed by search engines. This contract language should apply to all:
partners
subcontractors
suppliers or vendors
resellers or
affiliates
(34) (34) (34) (34)
Host a Top Site
You
will need a cgi program.
"Top Sites" are a ranking system. Websites that
sign up with your "Top Site" are given a text link or button with their id, and
they post this link to you on their site.
The more visitors the website
sends to you, the higher it ranks. You know which sites send traffic due to the
cgi script and the imbedded id.
A source for scripts:
http://return.to/topsite1
(35) (35) (35) (35)
Host a web ring.
All the links
on every Web ring banner point to your site and redirect to member sites.
You will need a script to host your web ring, and a source is:
http://return.to/webring1
(36) (36) (36) (36)
Use paid link text advertising.
Placing paid text link ads on high traffic websites that have a theme
directly related to your website is a powerful strategy when used in combination
with the above link building strategies.
Below are two good sources that
have two different processes for you to achieve this goal:

Get backlinks from these 100 top rated websites:
http://www.pubsub.com/linkcounts_top100_inlinks.php As
part of your link popularity strategy you should make it a goal to get an
incoming link from at least several of the sites listed in the 100 top websites.
Devise a strategy so that something you produce, an article, press
release, etc., is picked up and linked to by one of these highly rated sites.
You can always benefit from news or media backlinks, but otherwise seek
backlinks from theme related websites.
Knowledge that you gain from an
authoritative source such as
Publicity Pro Newsletter (see
SECRET
#21) should help you get backlinks from these high profile sites.
http://www.pubsub.com/linkcounts_top100_inlinks.php
(38-44) Reciprocal Links (38) (38) (38) (38)
Use existing link partners and online ezine archives as sources for
reciprocal links.
Search the resource pages and link directories of
sites that already link to you. Seek links with high quality websites that would
offer significant value to your website visitors.
Do
AD SWAPS
with ezines that have an online archive of past issues. Naturally, in your ad
you will have an url leading to your own site.
Of course your ad will
include anchor text rich in appropriate keywords!
(39) (39) (39)
(39)
Find quality websites with this reciprocal link exchange:
http://value-exchange.sitesell.com/tuition.html/ Take
this step once you have installed LMA and are ready to request reciprocal links.
If you have other link management software in place, fine, but you
should have a defined procedure for adding and maintaining links.
This
exchange, originates from Ken Evoy of SiteSell.com, so you know it is a highly
valuable asset. A good place for QUALITY reciprocal links.
Also, take
advantage and download the
free ebook,
Make Your Links Work, while
you are on this site.

Sign up with these 4
additional link exchange programs:
First a point of clarification:
Your primary goal in using these exchanges is to find useful and
valuable info and resources for your website visitors. A by-product of your
listing valuable websites is increased link popularity.
SO LINK TO
QUALITY WEBSITES. http://linkpartners.com/ Valuable directory of quality
websites that trade reciprocal links with other sites.
http://www.links-pal.com/how-it-works.html Join this
human-compiled directory that lists websites who actively swap links.
Your referring page will need to have a page rank of 5 since that is the
minimum required by this exchange.
http://coopadnetwork.100freeworkathometools.com This is a
free-to-join coop advertising network.
You exchange text links within
this network on regular web pages not inside link directories.
Highly
recommended! ******
http://links-for-you.com/ This program emails willing
reciprocal link partners to your inbox.
Taking advantage of these
programs should be a very productive use of your time, because the other program
members have joined with the specific intent of developing reciprocal links.
Be selective!
Approve links to quality sites that have a similar
theme to yours or offer goods or services you know your website visitors would
be interested in.
(41) (41) (41) (41)
I'll be the first to
confess that I was on the Internet for five years before I knew that there was
such a thing as The Google Directory?!?
You can use this directory to
find websites with a high page rank and request reciprocal links with
appropriate sites.
Check out the Google directory at:
http://directory.google.com/ If you locate the
category or theme of the websites you want to target, they will be listed with
the highest Page Rank (PR) websites at the top of the list.
Most of the
sites near the top of the list will be PR4, PR5 or higher. These are the
websites to target as priorities for reciprocal links.
(42) (42)
(42) (42)
Obtain reciprocal links from websites that are linking to your
competitors.
(A)Determine which websites are your main competitors. Make
up a list.
(B)Sign up with Google alerts to determine who is linking to
your competitors.
http://www.google.com/alerts (Due to technical difficulties
you may have to "copy and paste" this url to bring the site up).
Enter
link:www.yourcompetitorsurl.com in the "Search terms" box.
For "Type"
choose web.
For "how often" choose once a day.
Be aware that you
can use multiple queries and keep tabs on multiple competitors.
This is
easily done by adding an "OR". For example:
link:www.xyz.com OR
link:www.abc.com OR link:www.roi.com
(C)Request a reciprocal link from
suitable sites that link to your competitors.
These requests should have
a
HIGH SUCCESS RATE since you know for sure the target sites are actively
adding links.
(43) (43) (43) (43)
Find theme related
websites that offer reciprocal links.
http://yahoo.com Your search inquiry should look like
this:
"Submit a link" + "Your keyword goes here"
So a request
for websites based on the keyword phrase "link building" would look like this:
"Submit a link" + "link building" Be sure to include the
quotes.
You can use other phrases instead of "submit your link"
including:
"add your site"
"submit a url"
"add a url"
"add a
link"
This is a sound technique to use for niche or mini sites, because
it can be very hard to get search engine traffic for a mini site.
Add
the link to your site first, then invite the reciprocal link.
(44)
(44) (44) (44)
Exchange teaser articles with other webmasters.
What's that??
A teaser article is one that has been cut short,
and the reader has to go to another location, like your website, to finish
reading the article.
If you get a few teaser articles on high traffic,
high PR websites, you will get two huge benefits:
free targeted traffic
improved link popularity
I don't have to lecture you about how
much more valuable
TARGETED traffic is than random website traffic.
Obviously, you want to tease an article of yours that is relevant to your
website content.
You should tease both articles in the exchange.
By tease I mean deciding where the cut off point should be. In other
words do all the work and present a completely done package to the other
webmaster.
Of course,
you will have keyword rich anchor texts for
both links (yours and the other webmasters links) as part of the package.
And you will explain the value of keyword rich anchor text to your reciprocal
partner.
Lastly, make the links open in a new window.
Tease outstanding articles and you will definitely see positive results
with this technique.
