I would like to discuss some important aspects when trying to market a website or blog. When I say website marketing I am also talking about blog marketing, forum marketing, squido lenses, and any other web presences. Anyway when you begin marketing the most important thing to keep in mind is that the niche you are entering has had websites and/or blogs building backlinks for a while so to catch up you will need to put in quite a bit of work and be VERY patient.
One key aspect of being successful online is when trying to pick a niche it is important that you have passion for what ever category of web presence you are setting up. You will have to fight through the ranks of thousands or millions depending on how competitive your niche is. When you get tired you will have to love the subject enough to write new content and read the top blogs in your niche. The usual consensus for getting to the top of Google for a certain key term is 6 months to a year. Personally I think this is a little much since I reached excellent position for many keywords within months, though I worked at it 12 hours a day 7 days a week for 3 and a half months so I guess if you are only able to work on your blog or website for a few hours daily then it could take this long.
Now dedication is a very important aspect of internet marketing, but so is learning. It is crucial to gaining and staying successful that you stay on top of not only new ideas that are coming out in your niche, but also new marketing technologies which seem to appear daily. Don't expect to keep up on everything happening online, but it is a good idea to stay up with some of the prominent bloggers (such as myself lol) as well as Darren over at Pro Blogger, John Chow at John Chow Dot Com, and Yaro's Blog. These are the top bloggers online today and should be listened to so I give my full recommendation that you stay up with their writings.
I talk a lot about backlinks and if you look in my side bar find "my top posts" where I list excellent places to get backlinks. One thing I feel that I have perhaps missed when explaining how to get backlinks is the theory of viral spreading and link bait both of which means you gain backlinks without any personal work. In my top posts I list Top 55 Social Bookmarking Sites. Now if you click the link you will notice the Page Rank does not change meaning it has received it's own link juice from webmasters and bloggers refrencing it either in their blogs, forums, or articles. This is link bait build a list that can be a very helpful reference point and watch it build it's own authority within Google. Right now it holds the second spot for "top social bookmarking websites" which has 260 million in competition. How? Well when webmasters find a list helpful it gets placed in their favorites then when they write something on the subject whether it be in an article or in their blog they will give a link for explanation.
Viral spreading of a link can be done many ways. You can place send this link to your friends then make it possible for a visitor to send your website or blogs link to their friends. Another viral spreading system is done through allowing people to use your content on their web presences as long as they give a backlink. You can also submit your content to article directories allowing people to use it as long as the leave a link towards which ever web presence you choose.
Anyway these are just some basic tips if you find them helpful please give a link here is the linking code for this post:
I will be showing you how to do ^^that and why it has been helpful to me in my next post. Also remember the nofollow is removed so feel free to comment and get your free backlink please comment on the post (no spam).

Stop The Spamming Build Links The Right Way
This post is crucial for new website marketers as well as those that still think placing your ads within forums or jumping from blog to blog only commenting for the link juice thinking you have the correct marketing strategy. I do have sympathy for spammers since I was once one before I gained a grasp of appropriate website marketing. You must realize that spamming and building backlinks go hand in hand with the only difference between them being spam is building links where they are not welcome. When a new webmaster or blogger begins their online marketing campaign and hit the webmaster forums they are taught that only two things matter when trying to rank well within the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) which are building backlinks making sure to rotate the keywords between the opening and closing anchor tags and onpage/offpage SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Surprisingly the second one is easy enough if you have the right tools and understand keyword stuffing which you can learn about on this blog just visit some of the posts dealing with SEO. The second one becomes a little more difficult especially when your dealing with niches (category of website such as website marketing or online business).
So you have begun your blog and/or website and have completed the SEO. It is now time to begin the task of gaining exposure by building backlinks. This is probably the most crucial step in website marketing since major search engines will frown on your website if your are gaining links from the "bad neighborhoods" online. Google recognizes the bad neighborhoods by any web presence who's sole purpose is to inflate backlinks manipulating the SERPs results for the websites involved. This really sucks for newer webmasters since they have it engraved in their head that they must gain backlinks as quickly as possible and when doing searches on Google they don't realize when typing in get backlinks free or other terms related to link farms they are crossing the threshold and becoming a certified spammer. At the end of this post I will list many appropriate areas where to gain backlinks rather than using the websites that will hurt your SERPs rankings.
Now even though most webmasters in the beginning will screw up and place bad links usually they correct the behavior and begin placing links on more suitable and effective areas on the Web. The only problem is they still have the spammer frame of mind which is to place an ad for their website wherever possible and this passes over into their participation within the forums, writing articles, blog commenting, and other forums of white hat SEM.
First I would like to discuss forums if you need a list check the the right side of this blog locate "My Best Posts" and I have a list of the top five webmaster forums. These are excellent resources for backlinks, but you must not participate for the sole purpose of building backlinks. When you enter any forum attempt to make friends with the admin and moderators if they like you then you will get many chances which means if you screw up and get a little spammy rather than receiving a official warning you will get a friendly prompt from the mods or admin. The same goes if you get in an argument that goes a little overboard rather than getting a quick ban you will get will be told to leave it alone, which will save the work that you have put in. Now this does not mean go make friends then purposely and blatantly spam or fight, but when you really get into participating in a forum sometimes you forget. Now it is also important to learn BB code which will let you modify text and place your website links within your signature which will where you gain backlinks. If you want to learn BB code then try This Website.
Article writing for me has been the "bread and butter" of my internet marketing campaign. The reason for this is rather than getting one free backlink it is possible to get endless amounts of relevant, high priority, one way backlinks. When you write an article on Ezine Articles, Articles Base, or Go Articles not only will you receive a backlink from the high PR article directory, but these directories allow republishing of all articles as long as the publisher keeps the links active within the article and in the Bio. My best time for the republication of an article on one of these directories has been 3 hours. On go articles I have had one article published up to 20 times really helping my backlinks. Now rather than writing spammy articles making a big ad for your website or blog you should write about something closely related and prove to the web that you have an expertise within your niche.
Blog commenting is also an excellent way to gain high priority free one way backlinks. The problem is rather than taking a couple minutes to read the post people jump from blog to blog placing their link and writing "good post" or "nice job" this in the blogosphere is known as comment spam and is an excellent way to not only get your comment deleted quickly, but also gain a bad reputation. You must remember the blogophere is where information is passed very quickly and if you piss off the wrong blogger they will make sure to bury your blog. You could be the power someone has online when they have a readership of over 100k and the people are dedicated to the blogger. It is a good idea when using blog commenting to always read the post and reply to what was written rather than placing an advertisement in the comments section. Personally I like to place keywords within the name tag, then write a comment about my thoughts on the post. You should be weary of this as well because of the comment spam I have noticed that some bloggers do not even read my comment they immediately reject so it is helpful when placing your name to put your name @ your keywords so the backlink will have some relevance to your site or blog.

Review of Free Traffic System
Probably the most productive system I have ever used is the Free Traffic System. Now those who have been reading know that I never support any system, product, or service unless I have personally tested and seen a positive result. Well this is the program that launched my website makemoneyfree.comuv.com to the top page on Google for the term "make money free" and the top hundred for "make money online". Is it the only form of website/internet marketing that I have used no. It is the main way I have built so many one way and relevant backlinks from unique URLs. Anyway check out the video I made explaining how the free traffic system has helped me:
