Archives for December 2007Free Directory List of 2007Tired of not knowing where to submit to? Tired of looking through lists which have zero page rank due to the recent update in Google’s Page Rank. Well, here is your chance. This list was compiled on December 22nd, 2007. I checked the page ranks myself. Enjoy :). On one side is the URL, and in Red is the page rank. Some of these are for specific niches only, or blogs (and not websites), though the majority of them are pretty open ended. Enjoy Directory List: www.bloglines.com 9 I hope none of you minded this short post. Its nice, sweet, and to the point If you have any more that you would like to add to this list, or any suggestions, e-mail me at ThinkDevoid@hotmail.com (Temp email until I get the thinkblogger emails set up) Article Marketing: Part 2Introduction: In a previous post, we discussed the basics of Article Marketing in hopes to get a better understanding of how to gain money from it. It’s quite simple really, or is it? I will list some of the pros and cons of each with an expanded explanation. The good, The Bad, The Ugly: Pros of Article Marketing:
Cons of Article Marketing:
Hope this helped someone in some way, shape, form, or other. I will be sending out the e-mails pertaining to previous posts in the morning (or whenever I wake up). Sorry about the delays. RSShuggerLooks like I have given in really. RSShugger has claimed another soul in its tight grip. (and what a grip it is!). This service has been floating around for a while yet I have never had a chance to try it myself. Now is that time. Upon reading through the pages, RSShugger is a relatively new site which is causing some commotion (especially among some of the more heavy hitters). From my standpoint, this site is quite interesting and it continues to grow each day. Of course, there are 2 ways to get your blog listed for this service. #1, pay a $20 entrance fee. #2, write a post about it. (Guess which I did?! :O). I am more than happy to help out, however, as it is really an intriguing system. We will see how it goes and how many visitors I get from it. On Another Note: I might be adding a few nifty tools to the blog shortly. I have currently asked for the services of a programmer who is knowledgeable in the field I am looking for. Stay Tuned. Article Marketing BasicsArticle Marketing is one of the ways to make money online these days. You take 10-15 minutes to write a refined 300-400 word article for about 2-4 hours a day and you can easily make $20-30 a day (depending on where you submit to). Introduction: What people do not also realize is that if you submit to the right places, and market your article the way it should be done, then you also have extra traffic and quality link backs. These articles are pretty short and basically conveys an idea or concept that you should be familiar with (before writing it), like I do with this blog. I tend to avoid writing about things if I have not yet experienced them, so this blog is as much of my journey as it is yours. Why I post about what I do: We’ve discussed in previous posts why content is key, why quality backlinks are crucial, what SEO mistakes to avoid and how SEO-friendly permalinks are awesome. What does all of this have to do with articles? Simple. Articles = Content for YOU. You include links (to your site) which increase quality backlinks (do not spam with hundreds of links in your article, that is poor sport). By looking at this blog, it is beginning to have a nice amount of quality content on it. You can see that by how my subscribers almost doubled overnight after I posted my traffic stats and profits for about 4 hours of work all week. (mainly blog posts, article submissions and proxy tweaking). Once a website or blog has quality content, it is definitely on its way to being visible. What now? Lets say you have a blog/website about acne (one of the higher-paying adsense niches, by the way), and you want to get some quality backlinks. What do you do? You find article directories and submit articles about acne (about 400-500 words each). You do not just copy-paste your blog posts or already index threads, you re-word as much as possible. Why? Google does not like duplicate content and if enough is floating around then it might hurt your quality score. A Sad Realization: The bottom line, there are millions of websites out there struggling to gain visibility. You need visibility to get visitors, and visitors to get clicks/sales (depending on which way you plan on making money). The goal of these articles is not to sell a product (which is slowly saturating many article directories), but to ’sell’ your website and basically position you to being an expert in your field (whether you are or not). Why be like the others who are constantly trying to spam their clickbank products over article directories? Although, yes, it can be profitable, but its rather poor taste in my opinion. Instead, provide quality information (that you already know) and link it back to your site for ‘more tips and tricks’ (or whatever your angle may be *evil-eyes you*). Remember, an article should NOT be an advertisement, but more so a gateway to more knowledge and useful information. A Few Article Directories: I have stumbled upon a few of the higher PR article directories which you can submit to. I do not submit to 100’s of them, just a few. I have not even started submitting about money making, or else I’d get some nice traffic gains for ThinkBlogger - im not in a rush, I just wish to deliver content/tips.
