Text Links Ads vs Graphic Banners

May 5th, 2008 by Simeon

The Web Tips and Tools blog talks extensively about the importance of text links ads and the way their use is actually revolutionizing search engine optimization. Text links, as small or seemingly insignificant as they might appear, are in fact very powerful. Many advertisers have reduced or even abandoned banners in favor of text link ads because text links ads generate a surprisingly high clickthrough rate compared to graphic banner advertising.
For any internet marketer, this is something to think about!

Why Buy Text Links?

March 7th, 2008 by Simeon

Website owners have to invest time, energy and money in search engine optimization in order to get a decent ranking in the search engines.
But why focus on heavy search engine optimization when you can get similar results with text link advertising?
Many internet marketers have asked that question and after analysis, have made up their mind.
In fact, buying text links as a rank boosting technique is still today a very hot topic in the internet marketing world. Buying text links can bring results quicker and can work to increase a website’s ranking with the search engines. Invest a few dollars to buy text links, and you might enjoy its benefit very soon. That is why text link ads are still the ranking technique of choice for many website owners.
So, although it is thought by some that search engines tend to avoid giving high weight to paid text links in ranking websites, text link ads are widely used by internet marketers today.
Buying text links is easy and straightforward compared to other SEO methods available, which often require more efforts and a lot of technical expertise.
In fact, savvy internet marketers nowadays buy text links in combination with other search engine optimization – SEO -methods. Their goal is to have a rapid and sustainable growth of their website. They perfectly understand that, in internet marketing, it is not always a matter of choosing one method and rejecting the other. Consistent success comes when you combine various methods and build on their synergetic effect.
So, buy text links, mainly on high ranked websites (see quality and cheap text links website), and, at the same time, do not forget to continue using the other SEO methods to consolidate your results.

Why Should I Register More Than One Domain Name?

February 4th, 2008 by Simeon

My previous article was about the way internet marketers boost their website’s link popularity by placing text links on high ranked websites and I gave an example of a PR5 – Web Directory asondheim.org which specialises in offering permanent high quality and cheap text links.   Today, I am going to share with you my views about another topic: using multiple domains to boost your internet success.

Recently, I overheard a colleague criticising people who acquire more than one domain. In his eyes, those people are simply greedy or irrational. He has bought his domain name a few months ago through http://www.goahead.wsand he is happy to have one website while enjoying at the same time some extra income by recommending his friends to the same registration company. Eventually, I drew his attention on the fact that most of the people I know who do or intend to do serious business on internet have multiple domains and for very good reasons.

That gave me an idea of writing this article in order to share with others, the advantages of registering many domain names.

So, why should anyone register more than one domain name? Many think that one should be enough. But those who try to see into the future see it otherwise.

Registering and using multiple domains helps you to:

- Keep your competition from registering a domain name that would draw customers to them instead of you.
- Present, promote and market the different products and services you offer or might offer in the future.
- Use those different domains to drive more traffic to your different websites.
- Create more opportunities for your business to be listed in the search engines.
- Create distinct advertising strategies that reach different target markets.
- Provide your customers with more ways to find you when searching the Internet.
- Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page.
- Protect your brand and your online identity.

In fact, registering and using more than one domain name is a great idea for anyone who wants to solidly build his online business. Registering domain names costs only a few dollars per year. So, anyone thinking about building a really dynamic online identity should offer that idea a serious consideration.

Link Popularity: Placing Text Links on High Pagerank Websites

January 27th, 2008 by Simeon

As you know, the quantity and quality of links that are pointing to your site are an important factor in search engine ranking. Various methods are used to increase the website’s link popularity.

One of them is the text links ads method. The webmaster displays on a high ranking website a headline with a short description and includes the link to their website. The search engine spiders visiting those websites follow the links. And because these are one-way links, they have a higher weight in the website’s ranking calculation.

Most webmasters prefer obviously to place their links on highly ranked websites or directories. The higher the Pagerank of the website offering you a one-way link, the better for you. In fact, the most effective quality links are those placed on PR5 websites or higher. One such interesting web directory I recently came across is asondheim.org.

Some webmasters buy text links at a monthly basis (recurring billing). They place the inbound links on high ranked websites and pay an agreed fee every month. This means that if you don’t pay your monthly fee, your link will be removed and you’ll no longer have the benefit you were looking for in the first place: having a quality link pointing to your website from a high ranked website.

But there is an interesting alternative: some text links directories offer the possibility of placing a permanent link with no recurring billing. So, no risk of link removal. I was surprised to notice that those one-off payments for a permanent link can costs as little as $1-$5. This is a cheap and highly cost-effective method of increasing the link popularity. Usually, webmasters who want their website to appear at prominent places, such as the homepage or the top of a category page, have to bid more than the others. They decide what they want to pay in order to appear where they want.

It is easy to identify such text links directories which offer quality and cheap permanent links to your website? Just make a search via Google, using keywords such as ‘buy cheap text links’ for example, and you will be impressed.

Yuwie - Make Friends and Get Paid

January 1st, 2008 by Simeon

Yesterday, after I sent my New Year’s wishes to Sylvia, a friend of mine, she sent me a message inviting to have a look at her weblog. She also mentioned the existence of a relatively new social networking website called Yuwie which pays people for using it. I was curious and I decided to have a look. I went to the website and watched the whole introductory video message inviting newcomers to join in and explaining the earning potential.Yuwie offers all the features you would expect from any social networking website. What makes Yuwie unique is the fact that it pays its members for using the site. And it is free to join and use.

Yuwie argues that others social networking sites are making an estimated $20 million a month while the users do all the work. Unlike these other sites, Yuwie is ready to share their revenue with the users.

What do you get paid for?

Yuwie pays you for every activity you have on the site such as changing your profile, posting on the blog, uploading picture etc… You get even paid every time another user looks at your profile or reads or watches the content you have created or posted. The revenue sharing rate changes is different every month. On the 15th of each month, Yuwie decides (based on how much they made in the previous month) how much will be given out to each user: an amount that you can track from the ‘earnings’ section of your profile.

How much money can you make?

The amount of money you make depends on how much you and your downline (up to 10 levels) interact with the site. The video presents an example of potential earnings based on the 10 levels of referrals and assuming a revenue-sharing rate of $0.50 in a given month and 3 referrals per each person at each level.

Level Nb Referrals Impressions Earnings % Earnings
1 3 3000 10% $0.15
2 9 9000 10% $0.45
3 27 27000 4% $0.54
4 81 81000 4% $1.62
5 243 243000 4% $4.86
6 729 729000 4% $14.58
7 2187 2187000 4% $43.74
8 6561 6561000 10% $328.05
9 19683 19683000 10% $984.15
10 59049 59049000 30% $8,857.35
Tot 88572 88572000   $10,235.49
 

This concept seems interesting. Many people nowadays are turning to social networking websites such as Facebook or Myspace to make friends and build up their personal or professional networks. Yuwie introduces here a revenue sharing concept which might interest more people. After all, who wouldn’t like to get paid for doing what they are already doing? Making money while making friends. Another source of income streams! If you are as curious as I am, you may have a look by going to Yuwie’s website.

New Year’s Resolutions

January 1st, 2008 by Simeon

Year 2007 is over.

This is the New Year. Time for introspection.

What does that mean? It is looking back through your life to determine what areas need improvement. Just look at your accomplishments during 2007. What did you want to do, but didn’t manage to do? Do you still feel the need to do it this year?

At the beginning of each year, people have the habit of making New Year’s resolutions. It has become a tradition. This is great! However, this usually doesn’t work out as planned.

By the end of January, maybe even earlier, most people have given up on their resolutions. By the end of the second month, they may not even remember what their resolution was.

What is the point of making resolutions if you are going to break them so quickly? Striving to improve your life is essential, but you need commitment. Yes, you need real commitment and willpower to carry out your resolutions. And of course, you need to make realistic resolutions. Avoid making unrealistic resolutions which can generate more stress and create feelings of failure.

This site insists on creating the lifestyle of your dreams. It is meant for people like you who aim at getting in better shape, physically, financially, spiritually and emotionally. Spending more quality time with family, relaxing more, exercising more, saving more money, paying off debts, eating less, improving our health, controlling weight, stop smoking or finding a new job, setting up new income streams, building or strengthening relationships, starting or boosting a home-based business, … all these are wonderful ways of creating a more fulfilling life.

They might well be among your New Year’s resolutions. But remember. You must distinguish between resolutions and wishes. Wishes are just wishes. They don’t have the commitment ingredient to succeed. Go beyond the wish tradition and start by making a plan. Determine beforehand when and how you want the resolution to happen. Use the well-known techniques to set your goals.

For that purpose, I would strongly recommend to attend in February or March, a free but very powerful seminar: Breakthrough To Success of Christopher Howard. I have attended many seminars of Christopher Howard and I can assure you that one of the best gifts you can offer to yourself and/or to your friend is to spend a week end with this electrifying, internationally acclaimed speaker and coach.

More on goals setting techniques and on Christopher Howard later. For now, I take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year!

Time to enjoy, share and to plan for better lifestyle

December 27th, 2007 by Simeon

Time to Think about HumanityThis time of the year is a special one. It’s Christmas time, followed by the New Year time. It’s time to meet with relatives and friends, enjoy their presence and their warmth, relax and enjoy all kinds of entertainments. Time to send presents; time to receive presents. Time to share. Time to listen. Time to send all kinds of ‘best wishes cards’, and time to receive them from old and new friends. It is a period where everyone is happy to make others happy.

Enjoy and Share at Christmas Time

Sadly, it is a period where some people think more about themselves and immediate families and forget that, somewhere around them, there are people who are suffering and who, due to various reasons, can not enjoy this Christmas - New Year time. There are people who are sick, people who are dying in hospitals, people who are homeless, people who are poor, people who are in war-stricken countries… All those people would like to have their share of peace, relaxation and enjoyment. But circumstances make it difficult for them to celebrate. For them, no Christmas bonanza, no turkey, no wine, no dinner in chic restaurants, perhaps no entertainment… Even no smile on their faces.

Some might think that they can do nothing to bring smile and hope to such brothers and sisters. Some may even think that they have no responsibility in what is happening around them. They act and think selfish, without realising it!

Anyway, I take this opportunity to think about the meaning of all this. If we have to enjoy a wonderful lifestyle, we need to share our joy with other humans around us. Creating wealth is one noble objective. But sharing the benefits of a wealthy lifestyle is important as well.

We are now at the end of year 2007. Next week, we are starting a new year. For many people, it will be time to make new year resolutions. For some, the new goals will be ambitious. For others, they will be survival goals. If only we could look around and include in our resolutions some positive actions which can bring the world closer to peace, humanity and harmony.
