On Friday, I was with my friends Rita and ben who are just trying to get this thing of blogging and internet marketing right. These are friends who happened to hear from me about three months ago that I was trying to live by making money online.
To them this sounded so impossible and I slowly started showing them how. Rita was especially suprised when I told her to set up a squidoo lens and 2 days from her seting it up, she made a sale of $80. Yes I mean eighty dollars. That was from a horse race betting product that is sold on clickbank.
She was happy and then started making more lenses and making some money here and there.
When we were talking yesterday, she was telling me of how she makes a squidoo lens and in 1 day it is indexed, goes up to page one of google for the keywords (I even taught them about keyword research) and then in two weeks or more, it goes off google. This has been disturbing her. She wanted to know how I manage to keep my websites and lenses on google for a long time.
Well, I told her that I use 3way linking to maintain my websites at google top pages.
Click here to Increase search engine rankings by automatically growing your website link popularity.
This link building technology is designed to be "set it and forget it." There are only 3 steps to getting your site started on the path to ranking in Google:
Add your domain name into your account with your chosen keywords.
Upload a PHP file to your site.
Link to the PHP file from your home page.
That's all you have to do. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. After that everything is automated. The system will start spreading links across the network automatically, performing 3-way link exchanges between your site and other sites in the network. You don't have to touch it again!
When link building, it is very important to remember that not all links are created equal. Google wants to see certain kinds of links into your web site before it will rank the site for your selected keywords. Those 3 things are:
1- A Variety of Link Texts
If all of the links aimed at your site contain the same link text, Google will either discount or ignore all of your links. Google wants to see a diversity in the text of the links that are pointed at your site.
Research has shown that using a 60% / 30% / 10% linking pattern works best. That means that about 60% of your links will contain your primary keywords, 30% will contain your secondary keywords, and 10% will contain your third-choice keywords.
2- Geographic Diversity
If all of your links come from web sites that are hosted in the same place, on the same IP address, or even on different Class C IP addresses that are too geographically close to each other, Google will discount or ignore the links.
This network perfectly mimics a natural network of links, because that's exactly what it is! There are thousands of sites owned by many hundreds of web masters. The sites that your site will perform 3-way link exchanges with are located all over the globe, on a very diverse variety of IP and Class C addresses.
3- A Steady Growth in Links
If hundreds of links suddenly appear in Google that are all aimed at your site, Google will not count the value of those links for many months. This process of withholding link value is known as the "Google Sandbox". When this happens, you have to wait anywhere from 3 months to a year to see the value of your incoming links applied in Google's ranking of your site.
My system spreads links slowly, at the rate of 0 to 8 links per day. That means that there will be some days where no new links are added, and some days where as many as 8 are added -- which is how natural linking occurs. Once your site reaches 250 inbound links, the process stops. This usually takes about 60 days.
The old reciprical links strategy is now gone and with very little value. But 3way links is here to stay. I hope it will help Rita and you when applied properly.

The Addthis.com button and How it can Help blog owners get more traffic
I have spent sometime publishing blogs. I usually use blogger.com and I only have one wordpress blog that I host on my own servers.
Being a blog owner, I am always on the lookout for ways tp drive traffic to my blog and my websites. Basically I preffer the free traffic.
I have read many manuals that point to the fact that web 2.0 is a new trend that is here to stay. I am not an expert on web 2.0 but I know it involves social bookmarking sites where individuals share the sites that they find interesting, with their friends.
I have used social bookmarksites such as digg.com and reddit.com before. However, without a button, it can be very time consuming to type in each social website. So I started looking for services that can help me to send my blog to tens of social sites at once and increase my blog link popularity search engine traffic as well as siphon off some traffic from these bookmarking sites. During my search, I came accross http://www.onlywire.com and this proved very useful to me as it allowed me to bookmark my blog to over 15 social sites with only a click of a button. This was very great and for the time I used it, I was getting lots of traffic to my pages. However, onlywire.com does not have some of the important sites such as digg, reddit, technorati and others. so I wanted another button. Along the way, I came accross http://www.socialize-it.com . with socialize-it, I could add my blog to over 50 sites. But the code was so difficult to install and then tweak arround to start working with my blog. Plus it had some other difficulties which I hope J.P Schoefel can fix soon because he has a good team of coders.
Then, while surfing on a squidoo lens that was talking about a genuine data entry jobs website, I noticed a bookmark button that is used by squidoo.com . This button is call the addthis button. I tried it and I immediately fell in love with it. This button is simple to use.
With this simple to use tool, webmasters and blog owners can easily create 2 different buttons to add to their site that helps visitors to bookmark the intended website, or blog. With just one button, visitors are taken to a page with a wide variety of social bookmarketing websites world wide.
At addthis.com,there are 2 different types of buttons:
Browser BookMarks
RSS Feed BookMarks:
With a simple copy & paste code, these two buttons can be added to anywhere within your blog.
At the momment, they say that thir code supports blog platforms such as blogger, wordpress and typepad. But they will add other platforma later. So for blogger users, this can be a piece of gold as it is already proving to be for me.
AddThis.com has added enough social bookmarking websites to please everyone. No longer do you need to add multiple little images within the pages of your site/blog which ultimately increases the loading time for your blog. Now you can simply add one button and never have to worry about using up valuable space.
The AddThis.com service is free to use and you need to create your own buttons. AddThis.com offers visitor stats for your buttons, they come "as is". With an account from AddThis.com, you can easily track how many times visitors have clicked on your buttons, where they were generated from, and whether or not people have actually added your site to their bookmark favorites.
This feature alone is very important as it lets you know the fruits of your effort.
I there fore urge you all blog owners to keep blogging and writing your heart out. Always look for new and creative tools to help you get the word out about your blog and website if you have one.These tools are a great way to connect with visitors, I personally recommend AddThis.com hands down.
other services you can use include
http://www.socialise-it.com
http://www.addtoany.com
http://www.onlywire.com
Those are the ones I can give at the momment. However, if you have any other tool you would like to recommend, feel free to leave a comment below. Plus if you have found this post helpful, why not make a donation to me using the paypal donate buttons on the left. I will be very grateful .
