Link Building Using Forums
January 27th, 2008
This is a technique i have just started using, to promote an affiliate site. I am trying to generate links and also traffice to the site with little or no expense. As we all know this is now virtually impossible.
Using an affiliate site started from scratch i have joined a few closely related (to my site)forums and added my new affiliate site url as my user name and signature. I have posted as many times as possible.
The main problem i have is that i am NOT an Expert on the subject. I think this is a problem for most affiliate webmasters. I have found the most if not all forums ,have a ‘Humour’ Or General Chat section.
The Humour or Chat section is the one i use most. You need know nothing about the subject but you can post on the forum a joke, comment about something on tv etc. I personally recieve numerous jokes through emails every day from friends i tend to post these especially the ones in the current news.
I have recently tried this using just 5 forums and within 16 days i had 9 links appear on google. It obviously also generates traffic from the forum also. And the great parts of it , is that it take very little work.
What are your experiences??
Can I Really Pay to get into the DMOZ?
September 25th, 2007
Theres a few really major directories on the internet, it is widely believed that inclusion in these directories will boost your search engine rankings.
The two main directories to be included in are (in case you didn’t know) Yahoo which apparently has a free inclusion option but I can’t find it, the only option I can find is to pay $399 and theres is no gaurantee. The Second one is the Open Directory Project which is free but it takes ages to be listed and they only accept quality sites.
I have found a site where a few people claim they can get my sites listed in the dmoz for about $50.
Is it a scam? Yours views please
