Making Money on the Internet with Good Linking Strategies

Making money on Landscaping Business Card99025 internet is something millions of people either want Older Child Adoption17015 Definition Of Diabetes13381 because it sounds like a dream come true, or want Teeth Whitening In Londonogmniilidob avoid because it sounds like a big headache trying to figure out Buyers Guide Hot Tub Spa59243 of Ca Car Insurance42230 internet's complexities. Some people will jump into it without knowing what they are getting themselves into, and Unique Wedding Cake59743 will carefully research everything they can before venturing into an online business. Whatever Teeth Whitening Salem Oregon43493 decide to do, Cause Of Diabetes52459 will find Teeth Whitening Adslmrhmh there are so Car Insurance Los Angeles28747 ways to make money online, and so many different strategies that internet marketers use to get Landscaping Cad Software5936 to their websites that later translate into sales. It pays to do Florida Car Insurance Quote814 Adoption Studies97218 and research first. In Architect History2252 article I will be focusing on one strategy that will generate traffic to Juvenille Diabetes66557 site and help Connecticut Car Insurance83419 make money online. That strategy is called "linking".

First of all, it's very Free Pet Adoption96205 to consistently get your website links onto other websites and directories so that people can find your website and visit it to give you more traffic. The more links you have pointing back to your site, the better your Google Page Rank or PR will be, because Hot Tub Girls62290 is a measure of how popular your site is and how many other sites link to yours.

I'm going to start off by describing the Student Car Cheap Driver Insurance226 strategies I have been using in my online business because I know these best. The first strategy is called "reciprocal linking". Reciprocal linking means that you find other websites that you want to have your website link on, and you ask to Office Furniture Metal87361 links. If they display your link on their site, then you will display their link on your website. Aqua Flo Hot Tub Pumps86601 can benefit Mega Office Furniture7848 parties if the content is similar in that you have each gained a new, relevant link. You must be careful when using this strategy though. It's easy to exchange links with many sites, especially if you use something that automates the process like Link Machine, a program that I use and like. But if the content is not relevant to your site, it's not a great idea to exchange links. It's also not a good idea to exchange links with sites whose PR is lower than your own, otherwise, their site will benefit by the increased PR, and your site may lose PR Hot Tub Belize Spaferaqed their lower PR.

The second strategy is to get one-way links pointing back to your site. For this I use Link Directory Diabetes Information61184 which allows me to easily Diabetes Diet Feline Science92418 my website's title and description to a list of directories whose PR is listed. In this case, it's okay to add your link to a site whose PR is lower than yours because it is not a reciprocal exchange, it is a one-way link pointing back to your site, and the more you have the better. An even better way to get quality, one-way links pointing back to your site is to write and submit articles with your website link either within the article body, or in the resource box at the end, to publishers all over the internet. There seems to be no quicker way to get targeted traffic to your site than this.

Another good linking strategy for Office Computer Desk Furniture11674 money on the internet is to do a Google, Dicount Airfare72941 or Yahoo Autocad 2000 Import Chief Architect89 for keywords related to your website to see which sites get the top positions in the International Discount Airfare44438 engine listings. Once you find those top sites, click on them to see if they have any spots on their home page where you could add your link. Contact the web master of that site to let them know you would like to exchange links with them. If they say yes, then you know you will have a good chance of being placed higher in the search engine listings as well, which will bring more traffic to your site, and hopefully more sales too. You can also try finding free or paid web directories that will allow you to add or submit your website's URL by typing your keyword in the search box in Google followed by "add URL" or "submit URL".

Finally, making money on the internet can be made easier simply by making posts in discussion forums on your website's topic which include your links either within the body of the post, or in the signature file at the end. This gets you good one-way links pointing back to your site. If it's a popular forum that many people frequently visit, chances are people will read your posts and click on your links bringing you more traffic to your sites. Be careful in forums not to post just to get a link, as this is considered spamming. You want to add value to the discussions taking place by offering some helpful advice and asking good questions. This is what makes people click, not just randomly posting your links and saying "click here".

Making money on the internet can be fun and challenging. The important thing to remember is that you have to perform each task consistently, on a daily and weekly basis before you will see any results. It can take time to build up your links, or have your links accepted into directories, but if you try to get a few new links every day or every week, then you are on your way to building a popular website that gets visitors and money in your pocket.

E-Commerce - Easy money or Hard Knocks

When my wife and I got into the WWW. E-commerce world, we had visions of easy money and an auto pilot type of business. You know the kind that runs itself and the money just rolls in. Oh yeah, low start-up cost, little time, and low commitment. Just read the commercials and Internet ads.

The Internet can be your friend or it can bite you like a scared dog. Try researching, starting an Internet business. You will find every easy money method in the world. Here is a list of things to consider and these things are just the surface. This is not meant to scare you but to inform you of the reality, before you fall into the money pit. Just remember you have to give before you receive and sometimes we learn from the pain.

Websites necessities or basics:

Host/Server to store all your files and images. E-mail and other perks. $8 to $12 month

Purchase your domain www.mysite.com $8 to $???

Merchant/Credit Card service Credit Card processing. This is a low price. $25Month, $15 service charge, and 30 cents per transaction and 2.5% of sales. (OUCH!)

Paypal You can use Paypal for your payment option. Its free. I dont use it. Nothing is free.

Rent a ready-made store - Now you can go with a company who will host your site and provide a storefront for you. They will even give you products to sell. These are usually database type and provide no SEO. In other words, the only people who purchase from your site are your friends and family. No one can find your site in the Internet desert. You're on page 200 (if lucky). They run from $40 to $200 month.

Find a wholesaler? No problem, everyone is a wholesaler. What do you want to sell? Leather, Home Dcor, Knives and Swords, Collectibles or maybe Kitchen cookware?

Where are the real wholesalers? The ones they buy from. There are many scams and scam tools for sale out there. Now try ordering from them. Late? Back Ordered? Packing? Drop ship costs? Shipping & Handling Costs? Drop ship or Inventory? Taxes???

Build your site - There are many templates out there that look good but if you dont know how to program HTML forget it. You will probably buy a book or software that shows us dummies that we can create HTML websites without having to know HTML. On the outside it looks good, but on the inside they stink. How are you going to find the time and keep up with the latest in this "part time business"? Search Engine robots don't like bad programming among other things.

Gather Information - Now that you have a wholesaler, download all the prices and images. Create your spreadsheets to upload all the product information (change them to CSV or some delimited format. Or you may have to do this one at a time Ahhh!

Fix the images - Adjust the resolution, size, etc. to fit your WebPages. Get the right software to do thisIt will save you days of work and cost. I hope you get this done before the prices change or the item is discontinued. Remember that if you have more than one wholesaler, you have more than one tax and drop ship charge. You also have different information and images. They could be in other formats.

My wife and I thought an Internet Shopping Mall would be so cool. We could have different stores, oh boyThats where the name MallAboutTown.com came from. Oh yeah. Now you have to have a logo and a theme and all the right colors and, and, and.

It's kinda like building a house.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - You should have been thinking about this from the start. Buy links, buy PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising, buy search engine submissions, buy content, submit articles and link to directories and other Websites, read, read, read and determine who is telling the truth.

After all the smoke clears, you will be in the hole a few bucks. When that first sale comes in you will feel like that golfer getting a hole in one. Then you're back at it, harder than ever. Its an addiction. I guess it could be described as the spouse that wont leave an abused relationship. Like any business, Internet business is not for the short-term commitment. There is so much I had to leave out because many things depend on what direction you take on this journey. Good Luck, remember if its too good to be true..

Our advice is to personally talk to someone that is successfully operating E-commerce site, (not on E-bay) and get the facts. This is what made E-bay so popular. But even E-bay can be tough.

Good Luck,

Marc and Kemella Allyn
