Get quality links through website directory submission!

Search engine optimization is getting more and more difficult by the day. The search engines are evolving at an incredible speed, making it harder for us SEOs to rank our websites highly.

The more quality links you can get pointing to your website, the higher you will rank, period. That is the biggest key to ranking well in Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Doing this is easier said that done. One of the easiest known ways to get quality, one way links is by finding website directories and then submitting your website to them. This can be a very tedious process, but always a very rewarding process at the same time.

You can either submit your website to these directories manually, pay someone to do it for you, OR you can use one of the website directory submission programs out there. The best program for the money that we've found is a program called "Directory Submitter" created my internet marketing expert, Brad Callen.

This program allows you to submit your website to over 1600 website directories and can save you an incredible amount of time in doing so. You simply enter your website details into the software once, and then select the directory you would like to submit to. The software will then, automatically fill in all of the submission criteria for each directory and allow you to quickly submit your site.

Not only does this save you time in submitting your site, but it saves you an incredible amount of time in just finding the free directories online. I highly suggest grabbing a directory submission program if you decide to take advantage of one of the easist ways to get quality, 1 way links to your website.

Exchanging Link

Exchanging links is or should I say, are, part and parcel of sharing your site with another person's site. It is akin to barter trade.

If you are using Wordpress, this is how you can do it.

Step 1: Go to your Wordpress admin dashboard. Click on Link on Write Tab.
Step 2: All you have to do now is fill in the necessary information.

Three things to remember:

1. You have to categorise your links so not everything appears as blogroll. Just add new names to the categories

2. You have to decide if you want the link to open on a new window. Usually a new window is desirable if it is not your site. It will keep your site open when the link is clicked.

3. If you have clickbank account, you should enter your hoplink address instead of the site addresss. (Clickbank account is necessary if you wish to promote a product froom the marketplace.)

I do not try to elaborate too much on what is good or bad about exchanging links because in my opinion, any website that helps people to improve their quality of life should deserve a chance to have a link partner. The website does not necessarily talk about making money, but it has to point towards giving solutions. That will encourage your readers to come to your site and browse.

Blog without html

I have been receiving requests to teach html for blogs. Actually all my earlier posts are just words. I did learn later. You can quickly post an article in minutes by doing it in a few simple steps.

1. Write your draft on a notepad or windows document. Do not attempt to format your text yet. Just write what you want to post.
2. Make sure your keywords appear on the title and at least first 3 paragraphs of your document. Do not keep repeating them, search engines don’t like it.
3. At the end of your document, do these 3 things:
- type the tag lines
- ask yourself where you want to place advertisement, logos and banners: make a note at the bottom of your finished document
- type the keyword that you want to link to other sites or advertisement page you are promoting.
Done phase one.

Now you can go to your post area in your website, and begin. The reason for creating your post on a document are:
- when you are on the site admin working on your post, you are also opening your front door for the world to see. Just in case the connection breaks, you still have your draft saved.
- If you not understand html, at least you have your paragraphs in order. That is enough.
- you do your spell check on the document as your post area do not have a spell check function.

When you do not know how to insert adsense, picture or anything else, put them on the widget area or sidebars. Don’t worry so much about the design and layout. Basically, if you do not have an article, no readers are going park at your site. So forget about the pictures and design, just go ahead and write. Blogging is about writing. When you have reached you tenth post, you will start to see a pattern in the mechanics between posts.
