Watch Your Little Green Bar

As everyone knows the Page Rank bar on your google tool bar is losing importance when it comes to direct impact on SERPs (search engine result pages). So why does Google keep that little green bar? Well it still is a major factor when trying to decide the importance of a single page. When I say watch your green bar I do not mean for your own site. I have learned from experiance that low PR high SEO'd web pages can fair much better in search engines. Especially if they pay attention to anchor text when building backlinks. So what can us as internet marketers use this little green bar for?

Well I think I have something which may be useful. I say we use the green bar to determine what a backlink will be worth. Let say you enjoy blog commenting and use this as a means of marketing. Well rather than comment on any post wait until you know what the posts PR is then comment on it. Now I think that the authority of a page is a mix between the place on Google SERPs and Page Rank. I am sorry if this post is a little jumbled I am just trying to put a new internet marketing tactic together one which I have never heard of. Anyway we need to find a page which you can post to or comment on which has a high PR and high SERPs position. I have been working with a few diffrent searches, but have not yet found the right kind. One of these searches which turned up in a complete bust was my search for the precious .edu link. I searched for "forums .edu". Now it worked great I found tons of .edu forums, but the problem was none of these forums were open to the public.

So I found a list of 1000 .edu blogs which I spent some time commenting on. Anyway it worked somewhat most the links were no follow though. Anyway what I propose is you go to google search for your keywords. You should have a list of 20-50 that have to do with your topic. I recommend going into advanced search and having Google list 100 sites at a time. Search for a term such as (if your niche is fishing) sucker fish or gold fish. Then pay close attention to the URLs under the titles. If you cross a blogger blog, wordpress, squidoo lense, ezine article, or any thing like it stop read the article and post a comment. A few things to look for is the pr of the post and the rank of the page. You should also be aware of how many other people posted comments on that post, lense, hub, or article.

I also recommend you look for diffrent ways to search google. I know of a "keywords" + "keyword luv" search. Also look for solid lists to find backlinks. If you find one bookmark it and go back over and over to gain good quality backlinks. I will give you one of mine since I have hundreds it is a do follow directory which has been growing quite a bit. It is a Do Follow Blog Directory.

Someone Build A Guest Post Marketplace

You know I have been working and working on trying to figure out which diffrent NEW ways to market a website. Well I figured out one area online that has remained untouched and I feel can be a great new platform where bloggers find content. Now I spent a little while searching a guest post marketplace. Here is my idea (which I hope one of you make a reality). Take a forum, blog, or some other type of platform and transform it into a marketplace where bloggers come and post guest post opportunities. Then webmasters or bloggers come to the marketplace with articles and offer to give a blogger an article free of charge in return for a backlink. I think this would be huge and allow older bloggers to take a break while new bloggers get a little promotion and stat boost.

Now this will be a full time gig whoever starts this and should expect to work quite a bit. I as well as many bloggers would love to be able to get free content that is unique to our blogs for the price of one link and I would also be willing to write articles for a backlink. I think it would really take off in the blogosphere and should at least be tried. I know websites such as Constant Content have made it huge buy setting up a marketplace which content is bought and sold rather than traded for links. Anyway just something for you guys to think about I would do it myself, but as it is I am a bit overwhelmed with the amount of presences I already have. If someone decides to give it a try please leave a comment and tell everyone about it. Also if this has already been done I have been looking and looking so leave a link and I would be much appreciated.

Stop Forcing Your Visitors!

Traffic is a gift not a commodity it is something earned and should be treated with the utmost respect. As I roam the web time after time I run into "jerks" that make me do this or that before I get to read or acquire certain things. Guess what I do when a website tells me to do something; I click out never to visit that website again. Now if a website treats me right and lets me in to their info or whatever they offer without stupid hurdles they will usually get plenty of link love from all of my high PR websites and blogs. As an internet marketer I understand the want to gain a visitors email address or at least more info, but not letting a visitor gain access to your web page until they give their email (which most people fear because of spam). So rather than letting the visitor on their page these webmasters force them to give up their personal email and validate it. DONT DO THIS.

Now lets move into a discussion on how to make a USER friendly website or blog. First and foremost everything done with your presence should encourage visitor enjoyment and interaction. When visitors like coming to your website they will be likely to share it with others and after a while your stat counter will explode. You must be friendly and on social networking sites. Set up a blog so you can post your ideas and when people comment you can comment back actually setting up a discussion. Start a forum for the ultimate discussion and interaction platform I started mine using a free script at phpbb. Here is my forum if you would like to discuss internet marketing~ Internet Marketing Forum. Anyway your goal should be to have your visitors love your site and want to come back.

Now if your not a good web designer(making your presence look pretty) such as myself then look for free templates. Personally my favorite selection is at Wordpress they give you free software and many diffrent styles of themes for your blog. If your looking for free website themes I have always used Free Css Templates. I have found these themes exceptional when trying to get a good look for my diffrent websites. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this post if so be sure to comment.
