Mungkin Anda belum menyadari dan Masih lebih mengutamakan Mengutak-atik Blog bagai mana agar penampilan Blog terlihat Menarik. tetapi anda lupa kalau blog atau situs Anda punya potensial untuk mendapatkan uang. Dengan menggunakan Google Adsense yang anda miliki tentunya harapan anda dapat menghasilkan earning di setiap bulannya sesuai dengan target yang telah disepakati bahwa jika earning anda sudah mencapai $100 maka anda berhak mencairkan earning tersebut, Anda bisa menghasilkan uang setiap kali orang mengklik iklan di situs atau blog Anda. Mungkin kelihatannya sulit tetapi sebenarnya ini relatif mudah. Jika Anda melakukannya dengan benar, Google Adsense bisa memberikan penghasilan melalui situs Anda.

Sebelumnya Anda Perlu mengingat dan Mengetahui Tips dan Peringatan dalam menjalankan Bisnis Online Pemasangan Iklan Google Adsense berikut ini :
  • Cobalah bereksperimen dengan tampilan dan penempatan iklan.
  • Jangan coba-coba mengklik iklan di situs Anda. Google pintar dalam hal ini. Mereka akan mendeteksi penipuan Anda dan Anda akan di-banned dari Adsense.
  • Hindari menggunakan banner. Pikirkan tentang apa yang Anda lakukan ketika Anda melihat sebuah banner pada sebuah situs. Anda mungkin tidak akan mengkliknya.
Selain itu, saya juga berharap dapat membagi ilmu pengetahuan saya tentang seputar Google adsense Kepada seluruh sahabat pembaca blog ini. maka dari itu berikut saya memberi beberapa tips yang mungkin berguna bagi sahabat blogger untuk Cara Meningkatkan Earning Google Adsense dari Nilai Klik.

  1. Membuat Adsense langsung dari Google Adsense - Ada kabar jika kita membuat unit iklan adsense dari blogger maka hasilnya akan dibagi 50:50. Tentunya ini berpengaruh pada hasil akhir yang kita terima nantinya. Untuk mengantisipasi kabar tersebut, baiknya kita langsung membuat unit iklan lewat adsense.com kemudian copy-paste kode diblog kita.
  2. Memilih SEO - Optimasi adalah hal yang penting untuk mendatangkan pengunjung yang berperan melakukan klik iklan adsense kita. Namun saat blog kita ada pada halaman pertama hasil pencarian, pada peringkat pertama dan pengunjung masuk pada blog kita, belum tentu pengunjung melakukan klik iklan adsense kita. Ada banyak faktor seperti tata letak, komposisi warna, hingga konten yang berkualitas menentukan klik adsense kita. Walaupun tidak bisa kita pungkiri tanpa SEO iklan adsense kita akan sepi dari kursor pengunjung. Intinya jangan terlalu over SEO.
  3. Membuat Adsense Jenis Lain - Yang saya maksud adsense jenis lain adalah unit adsense selain iklan konten. Seperti adsense untuk feed, adsense untuk penelusuran, hingga adsense untuk link. Dari akun adsense saya, satu klik adsense untuk feed dihargai 0,22 dollar dan untuk adsense costum search rata-rata sekitar 0,08 dollar. Intinya adsense selain konten umumnya memiliki nilai klik yang lebih besar namun lebih jarang diklik. Dan lagi kelemahannya adsense untuk feed harus feed berjenis full content (lihat di pengaturan blog), sementara feed jenis ini bisa dimanfaatkan untuk blogger Black Hat jadi saya sendiri sekarang tidak menggunakan adsense untuk feed.
  4. Optimasi Script - Ada satu blog percobaan yang saya buat dengan template berbasis script seperti Ajax, javascript, dan dhtml. Hasilnya nilai per-klik adsense kurang begitu tinggi, malah rata-rata hanya 0,01. Kemudian saya bandingkan dengan blog ini dan blog saya lainnya yang bertemplate simple. Hasilnya blog dengan template simple rata-rata nilai per-klik lebih tinggi. Dari dugaan saya kemungkinan script-script tersebut menganggu kerja crawler adsense dan mungkin juga beberapa bagian tidak terindex dengan sempurna oleh google. Ada beberapa saran buat anda yang menggunakan script-script multimedia :
  • Tempatkan script adsense dibagian atas blog.
  • Tempatkan script yang panjang dibagian bawah (footer)
  • Jika terpaksa menggunakan script multimedia dibagian atas misalkan script slide show, pastikan mencoba me-reload halaman lebih dari 10 kali dan jika unit adsense sering muncul maka script tidak mempengaruhi adsense, sebaliknya jika adsense sering tidak muncul coba rubah penempatan unit adsense atau rubah script anda.
5. Mendatangkan Visitor dari Luar Negeri - Cara ini berlaku untuk blog dengan bahasa Indonesia atau selain bahasa inggris. Seperti penjelasan diatas, bahwa nilai klik pengunjung luar negeri rata-rata lebih besar. Walaupun blog berbahasa Indonesia tapi bukan tidak mungkin dikunjungi oleh orang manca negara, caranya: A. Membuat beberapa artikel berbahasa Inggris, agar tak terkesan blog "gado-gado" artikel ini jangan terlalu banyak.
B. Bergabung diforum luar negeri dan membuat "signature" berupa link menuju blog kita.
C. Membuat download link diforum luar negeri, jangan langsung menuju file yang dimaksud tetapi menuju blog kita. d. SEO file gambar, seperti memberi nama file gambar pada blog dengan bahasa Inggris.


6. Fleksibel terhadap Perubahan Keyword - Terkadang kita para blogger sering memilih keyword berdasarkan "PRINSIP" bukan berdasarkan kebutuhan visitor. Contohnya kita membuat blog dengan tema "SEO" pokoknya semua hal tentang SEO. Namun nyatanya keyword-keyword kita tidak menghasilkan dollar dari iklan adsense, dan kita tetap bertahan dengan keyword yang itu-itu saja.. maka bagi blogger UUD (ujung-ujungnya dollar) ini adalah sebuah kegagalan. Ada dua jalan yang mungkin bisa anda coba: a. membuat blog baru dengan tema dan keyword yang baru. b. tetap dengan blog yang sama namun mencoba membuat artikel dengan keyword yang berbeda.

7. Riset Keyword - Hal yang sebenarnya tidak ada aturannya adalah riset keyword. Keyword berperan penting dalam mendatangkan visitor, dan juga negara asal pengunjung blog dapat dipengaruhi lewat keyword-keyword. Banyak blogger menentukan keyword mereka dengan cara masing-masing, ada yang menggunakan tool online gratis seperti google trends, google keyword tools, Google web masters, dll. Ada juga riset Keyword yang berbayar. Saran saya, gunakan tool yang gratis saja, sebab yang menentukan bukanlah data yang kita terima tetapi bagaimana kita mengolah data-data tersebut.
  • Pilih keyword yang banyak dicari
  • Pilih keyword yang bisa digunakan dalam artikel berbahasa Indonesia maupun Inggris. Contohnya "Laptop", "mp3",dll.
  • Jangan terpancing dengan HPK, sebab keyword-keyword tersebut selalu penuh dengan persaingan.
  • Banyak ber-eksperiment 
Demikian dulu Tips Cara Meningkatkan Earning Google Adsense dari Nilai Klik dari saya, mudah-mudahan Tips-tips ini dapat membantu sahabat blogger dalam menjalankan bisnis Online Pengiklan dari Google Adsense sehingga dapat menghasilkan Earning yang memuaskan pada setiap pencairan. dan saya berharap sahabat-sahabat blogger juga dapat berbagi dengan blog saya ini terutama pada bidang Google Adsensenya.

Your article will definitely be read even if the subject has been frequently discussed by other blogs. Examples of the most requested article is an article about seo visitors, etc. 
  • Creating Interesting Article Titles and Unique Descriptions - The title of an interesting article could be one way to lure visitors. Visitors who are looking for information through search engines will read the first title and description, then click the link. If other blogs already use the title you seek, look for another title. Give a description unique for interested readers
  • Promote Your Blog Article avery Media - Promotion can blog through Blogwalking, could put an ad in the classifieds website, posted a link on social bookmarking, social networks, etc. The more you get involved with this medium, the more popular your blog and traffiic also increased.

How do you want to be a visitor?

Want to know how to order a new Article Indexed Quickly Google?
Previously, make sure that the sitemap of our site are always updated if there is a new article. That is, changing sitemap if we update the site. To make sure that the robots.txt file is written correctly and there is no barrier for engine robots to crawl your site. Cheque writing using robots robots.txt file checker.
Furthermore, after publishing the article, we can simply post a comment on existing blogs CommentLuv. What do post a comment on existing blogs CommentLuv such a way that new articles indexed quickly Google?

After Publishing the article, we can simply look for traffic by posting comments on blogs there CommentLuv. In the blog CommentLuv no facility to attach the link last article. We recommend that you install more than one blog comment. If a comment does not diapprove, there are other comments that had a chance diapprove. If our comments immediately appear immediately, so that we include links to the article above could quickly traced by search engines and the results have an impact on the fast indexing.

Second way is to submit articles to social bookmarks. Some say that the new article should not hurry to social bookmarking disubmit. But as long as I have always done and no problems. Usually our articles immediately appear in the SERPs. Even so, not all article is submitted to the SB can be quickly indexed. What is this? There are other factors that affect an article can be quickly indexed, the uniqueness of the article.
"Finding Backlinks" is something we always do when we have a Blog/website. Backlinks can make the popularity of your Blog/website Increases. However, we often do not pay attention to the proper way to find backlinks.

In looking for Backlinks, usually we want get quality backlinks. Various ways to make backlinks we do, whether it's with blogwalking, buy backlinks, link blog dummy plug, etc.., We are often tempted to find backlinks from websites berpage high rank, especially dofollow status. But of course to find backlinks can not be arbitrary.

Here's what needs to be avoided in finding Backlinks :
  • Buy Backlinks - This one is definitely all know how the method. If possible, we do not buy backlinks, because backlinks are gained by purchasing a limited time definitely not durable. If it expires Backlinks, then backlinks will be deleted. Backlink deleted, will affect SERP ranking in search engines. Finding backlinks naturally better than buying backlinks. If there are free and durable, why should buy? It's out of money, it is still subject to delete anyway. 
  • Find Backlinks Dofollow Only - Backlinks that are dofollow, it's good, but we can not only get Dofollow Backlinks only. It's good to get backlinks nofollow interspersed so that search engines see our natural backlinks. Importantly, given the percentage of dofollow backlinks more than nofollow backlinks. Backlink nofollow good quality, will give a great impact to our website as well.
  • Find Backlinks from sites "Haphazard" - These sites "indiscriminate" I mean the sites containing adult content, illegal content or websites spamming. I think everyone already knows himself what the definition of "recklessly". We do not want your website get backlinks from sites like this, because our website can be considered not qualified.
Hopefully Tips to Avoid backlinks that are not Qualified above can be useful for bloggers
I actually learned about high authority profile sites by accident. In fact, if it weren’t for my need to experiment, I’d likely have overlooked this effective SEO technique and never had the opportunity to share it with you in this book.

For a time I focused a lot of my energy on affiliate marketing. Even today I make a nice residual income with niche websites where I earn a commission each time a product or service is sold. A couple of years ago I started searching for new ways to sell my own products and generate traffic to my niche websites. In short order, I stumbled upon a forum that included "special offers" from other Internet marketers. I liked the idea so much that I even added this feature to my marketing forum! One of the special offers had to do with a list of high PR websites where you could leave a link back to your website.

I purchased the list and found a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the sites were no longer active or only allowed you to leave a link on a dynamic page-which has little value-but most of the sites noted were legitimate and carried a great deal of authority. Ever since I first discovered this technique of finding and dropping links on high PR sites, which I call Profile Sites, I’ve relied on monthly submissions to help my rankings.

The reason I call these sites Profile Sites is because they are often based on forums, social Media sites, wikis, and other online resources that allow you to include a link with your registration profile. Upon completing your registration, you can include a link that is immediately accessible or available when you leave some type of comment or post on the site itself.

The resource that I currently use, Angela’s links (more information on where to find this fantastic resource and added bonuses at http://myseomadesimple.com/secret.htm), provides me with a fresh list of high PR sites each month for a nominal fee. The sites highlighted often include dot com and dot edu websites. Getting links from dot edu sites is very valuable and hard to come by. Having someone else do the research for you each month to find these authoritative sites is well worth the small investment. When leveraging high Profile Sites, you often get a diversity of authoritative links that you can use time and again. Due to the popularity of some of these sites, registration isn’t always available. However, for everyone that closes, many more high PR sites become available.

A number of SEO tools that I’ve experimented with over the last year integrate profile sites into their process. They understand the value of getting one-way links from sites with authority. My recommendation is that you respect the submission guidelines for these sites when building links. Hitting the same sites again and again, with links pointing to the same third-party websites, may be recognized as spam.
Keep a spreadsheet of each of these sites and their status. I know that each time I launch a new site I keep going back to my list of high authority Profile Sites. You should do some research on authority websites, make a list, and always look for one-way links from registration profiles on high PR websites. Resources like Angela’s links are invaluable.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, it’s hard to ignoresocial media. It seems that every day existing social media sites are getting larger and new ones are cropping up all over the place. This popularity is driven by the viral nature of social media. You invite your friends, they invite their friends, and before you know it, the whole world is connected.

I’ve been participating in social media for a long time. A number of social media sites have come and gone over the years, but some continue to dominate the social media space. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are the leading contenders. Google and other search engines are putting their social media spin on things too and it’s just a matter of time before their social networks are a large part of the mix.

By now you know that I have a one-track mind. That’s certainly true when it comes to social media. One must ask the question, "How can I use social media sites to improve the ranking of my own websites and blogs?" There are two answers to that question and they are very much aligned to what we’ve been talking about in this section. The answer is "links" and "rankings."

Social media links are created when you develop a profile on a social media website like Facebook. If you have a Facebook account it likely includes links of various kinds-links to books you’re reading, products you recommend, and hopefully links back to your websites or blogs. By the very nature of Facebook, it carries tremendous authority. If you are linking to your own website, it passes that authority back to you. When setting up your profile on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, you should always include at least one link back to your website and other digital assets.

Facebook.
Let’s begin with Facebook. Signing up and getting started with Facebook is very easy. Visit the home page and complete the basic information then click, "Sign Up." Once you register, confirm, and set up your profile, you’ll be able to take advantage of everything Facebook has to offer. When registering, complete all aspects of your profile and seek guidance from friends who are currently using Facebook for tips and guidance on the numerous Facebook features. Learning what to do and how to do it from current users is definitely the quickest way to get up to speed.

Keep in mind that your profile name will be visible in Facebook, so choose your naming convention carefully. This is something you’ll want to give some thought to. Don’t worry though. In addition to setting up an account under your name, you’ll also be able to create a company profile (Fan Page). This gives you added visibility and the opportunity to add links that point to your website. Additionally, you can post other links on your "Wall."

The true SEO value of Facebook is in building a network and asking others to post or share your links on their profile pages, Wall, or on their own digital assets, such as blogs and forums. Over time, your profile, and the links distributed by those in your network are what create SEO value.

Twitter.
The concept of Twitter is pretty unique. After registering and setting up a profile, you create short posts of 140 characters or less online or using your cell phone. These posts are visible to everyone who is following you as well as those viewing a particular thread. Threads are visible using a hashtag. Hashtags are identified by the pound sign "#" and appear before a phrase (ex: #SEO). If I’m subscribed to "#SEO" for example, I’ll be able to view anyone’s Tweet that is followed with #SEO thanks to this hashtag feature.

Using Twitter for SEO is also a two-part process. The first part is to include a link to your website from your Twitter profile. After logging in to your profile, click on the "edit your profile link" and "Profile" from the top menu. You will see a location for your web address. Enter your URL there. Once you start building Twitter followers, and they link to your profile, this will improve the authority of this link.

The second way to use Twitter for SEO is to build a list of Twitter followers. You can do this by sharing your handle (example: @mfleischner) on your blog, in your marketing messages, on your website, and so on. You can also use some pretty neat tools that automate the following process for you, building a large list of followers relatively quickly. For a listing of the Twitter software I use to manage my Twitter account, visit my secret page. Many individuals set up automated following. That means if you follow them, they will follow you back. You can start following individuals of interest manually or use automated software to do so. Although I don’t recommend this for everyone, if you are just starting out on Twitter, taking advantage of automated following is a great way to build a list quickly. Once you have a list of targeted followers, you can make them aware of valuable content and features available on your website. Always make your content easy to bookmark and share with others! Using Twitter to drive followers to your website is just the beginning. Once there, your site needs to force an action, moving them into a sales funnel or giving them the option to bookmark or share content.

It’s essential that you consider what type of content you’ll deliver on Twitter. I’ve built a following of more than ten thousand people by providing helpful SEO-related tips and strategies on a regular basis. Focus on your niche and "Tweet" about an area you know a lot about.

YouTube.
Begin by creating an account. Once you register, you’ll have a number of options available to you. Click on your username and select "Account." If you click on "Profile Setup" in the left margin, you’ll see a place to enter your URL. In addition, each time you upload a video, you can enter a description. When writing your descriptions, always start with your URL in the beginning. Doing so makes the link visible and active.

One of the best ways to promote your video and, therefore, your link, is to tell others about it. YouTube has a subscribe option so once you learn more about YouTube and create a "channel," you can drive your visitors directly to your videos. Once there, visitors can take advantage of a number of rating options. You can also customize your channel with various features including comments, subscribers, and so on.

YouTube videos are ranked by the number of subscribers, "Likes," and comments. Whenever you produce a video, send a link to your list, post a link to the video on your site, and encourage users to comment. This can help your ranking in Youtube and may encourage third-party websites to embed the video directly into their content. Sharing and embedding videos means more links to the video itself, which in turn creates more link juice. Over time the number and quality of links pointing to your site, through your Youtube link, gain authority which helps your rankings.

If you’ve never created a YouTube video, don’t despair. There is a great deal of quality video on YouTube and Vimeo that show you simple ways of creating professional looking videos. Spend some time learning the art of video making or just use your webcam. Publishing videos is relatively easy and video production doesn’t need to be complicated. Once you know how to produce a simple video, you can fuel your link-building efforts in a powerful way.

Social media can be a great way to build quality third-party links that add value to your own website or blog by passing link authority to your digital assets. If you aren’t actively engaged with social media, get started today. The sooner you become active with social media the faster you build authority and the more value you create for SEO.

Google Places SEO Techniques

Any SEO Guide would be remiss if not mentioning Google Local. Google’s localization strategy is in full force and seems to be integrated into more and more search results. Most people don’t fully understand Google Places or realize how they can use "Local" to achieve first place listings and top placements.

The first step is to register for a Google Places account. Start by going to places.google.com and registering. When you do, complete as much information in your profile as possible. The key to showing at the top of a local search results isn’t necessarily distance or an alphabetical listing. Google is searching for relevance.

Relevance is created with a comprehensive description of the services you offer. Even if you’re an online business, you should be developing a Google Places profile and providing as much information as possible. Additionally, you’ll want to take advantage of all the features provided by Google Places. This includes the ability to add photos, reviews, and videos. Google also allows you, using the Google Tags option, to provide special offers or coupons to those who visit your profile.

To optimize your Google Places profile, add as much content as possible. Repurpose videos you’ve created-no matter how basic. Add photos of your business. If your business is simply online, then add photos of your products, screenshots of your website, or any other pictures that are relevant to your business. The final step is soliciting reviews.

Online reviews are driving the Internet. Look at businesses like Amazon.com and it’s clear that reviews are an essential part of any online or offline business. The best way to solicit reviews is to ask anyone of your satisfied clients to post a review. Make it easy for them by providing a link in a follow-up email or posting a message on your website. It’s OK to have a mix of positive and negative reviews. This makes your business appear credible and people have come to expect positive and negative experiences with any business.

A quick word on ethics :
Don’t bother paying others to write reviews for you-it’s dishonest. Personally, I have found that when you ask your customers to write reviews, you’ll get plenty. And, the majority of the reviews will be positive. Instead of spending energy trying to bump up your reputation artificially, engage your customers and website visitors.

Using Google Places doesn’t take a lot of work and is rather easy to implement. I’m sure you can buy a book or pay for a Google Places instructional program. Personally, I don’t think Google Places is all that difficult to learn or use. Before you spend your money, register for an account and implement the techniques I’ve already mentioned.

Once your account is up and running, continually add content when appropriate and invite others to complete reviews. The more content you add to your listing (Keyword rich of course) the higher your Google Places ranking will be, and the more link juice you’ll receive.
One of the best ways to attract one-way links to your Website is to promote free content, such as news or articles, white papers, free tools, and so on, via your own website or blog. This is the inverse of the link-building strategy we’ve been discussing where you actually push content to other websites or blogs. Using this strategy, you are creating valuable content and subscribing to that old adage, "If you build it, they will come." It might sound cliche, but thanks to social media and the web, you can attract users to your website (and links) by having something of value to offer. If you provide something of value, other websites will start linking to you, giving one-way links that can dramatically improve your Search Engine Results.

Personally, I like to create article collections that provide a wealth of information to website browsers seeking information. For example, I’ve developed a posting of marketing-related articles that I have written during my professional career, placing them in a special free articles section of my website. There are a number of other websites linking to this resource, and as a result, I’m ranked number one for the terms free marketing articles and in marketing article-two highly trafficked and sought after terms in the marketing niche. I make sure to add new articles on a regular basis to keep the content fresh. Doing so encourages other sites to create links to the content from their own websites.

Another suggestion is the Production of a small Promotional Ebook. If you’ve ever downloaded a book electronically from the World Wide Web, you already have experience with ebooks. When users know they can get something, even a small promotional ebook for free, they tell others. This creates a "viral" effect that is great for attracting one-way links.

If you can create an ebook of your own, regardless of its length, develop it in Word and save it as a PDF. As a last step, post it on your website and make available after browsers provide their name and email address. If you need help with your ebook or would like to leverage the work others have done, search for PLR-related materials. PLR stands for private label rights, and you can often "buy" the rights to completed ebooks, how-to manuals, and the like, for little or no money.

The next step is to offer these PLR ebooks on your website. Before long, others will be linking to you because you’re providing something of value. Just make sure they are linking in the right way. On your web page, encourage people to link to your ebook and provide them with the proper link text (e.g., If you’d like to link to us, please use the following :
<a href="http://www.yoursitename.com" title="your keyword phrase" rel="dofollow">Your keyword phrase</a>
As I mentioned at the start of this section, off-page optimization is the most important factor for improving Google SERPs. Use the SEO Made Simple techniques to build quality links to your website and watch your search engine rankings soar! All of these Off-page Optimization Techniques, when applied consistently over time, significantly improve Google SERPs and results on other major search engines. After implementing the various off-page optimization methods we’ve covered, select those you are most comfortable with and apply on a regular basis.

How to Outsourcing SEO Projects

After many years of Creating Content, Optimizing Websites, and spending countless hours Building Links to my many Websites and Blogs, a good friend and Internet guru turned me on the concept of outsourcing. Personally, I never really trusted anyone with my web properties or SEO and still tread lightly. However, over the past couple of years I have found a couple of good outsourcing partners that I use to support the search engine optimization of my own websites and blogs – and so can you.

The concept of outsourcing is simple. Find resources to do repetitive or time-consuming tasks at a low cost. While they are focusing on "getting it done," you can focus on new projects, revenue-generating activities, and other work.

I used to think that outsourcing was only for large companies. To be honest I had many false perceptions about outsourcing and the types of individuals that support outsourcing-related jobs. The reality is that you can find a number of highly qualified, intelligent individuals who are willing to complete work at a much lower cost than it would be in your own country. I’ve used freelancers in India, Sweden, and the Philippines for programming, link building, and administrative tasks.

Whether you are working on a single website or twenty, I recommend learning more about the opportunity to outsource specific tasks. There are a variety of resources that allow you to find just the right person to support your SEO. My personal favorites are Desk, eLance, and UpwardSEO.com. There are many others available such as Getafreelancer.com and Guru.com but I’m partial to the first few because of their size and my personal experience with them.

Here’s how Outsourcing for a typical SEO project might work. You begin by defining tasks that you want to complete on a weekly or monthly basis. After creating a list, spend some time thinking about what you can handle on your own and on what you will need support. Said another way, what should you pay to have someone else do versus doing yourself?

By spending time up front to determine which tasks should be outsourced and which you can handle on your own, you are more likely to choose the right outsource partner. Investing quality time in this process will pay huge dividends down the line.

As an example, let’s say that you want to outsource forum posting or blog posting. The first thing you have to ask yourself is how effective an outsourcing partner can be with either of these tasks. For me, I’d say that forum posting is probably easier for an international person than blog posting. Blog commenting requires an individual to read a blog post (in a language they understand), find an entry to comment on, and write a well-articulated response in the appropriate language. This increases your chances of having a comment "stick" and therefore requires some level of expertise.

Forum posting, from my perspective, requires some of the same skills as blog commenting, but not always. I could likely find dozens of IT-related blogs that talk about programming languages and anyone with a little HTML or php experience could write a post or comment on a thread. Seek out an outsource partner who has experience with forum posting in general and specific content knowledge to be effective.

While they are doing the heavy lifting on forum postings every month, I’ll focus on other high-value SEO tactics like article writing and article spinning which requires a native speaker and someone with a good grasp of the subject matter. Article writing, spinning, and distribution are best done "in house." But seeking out tools to help you with this process is advised. Between outsourcing and the use of semi-automated tools you can dramatically reduce the time it takes you to complete optimization activities.

Once you have a list of tasks that you want to outsource, it’s time to find a provider. If you have programming needs I recommend using eLance.com. There you can post a project and have multiple providers bid on your job. Read through reviews, samples of work, and so on to determine which vendor can best meet your needs. Overall I’ve had a very positive experience with eLance and the providers available through their network. That doesn’t necessarily guarantee success. My advice is to approach outsourcing as a work in progress. Keep experimenting with different vendors until you find the perfect match. In time you’ll have a short list of affordable vendors you can use for virtually anything web related.

If you are looking for freelancers who can support your search engine optimization activities like link building, I recommend using Upward SEO or oDesk. Start with a clear understanding of what you need done, by when, and at what price. Both sites offer a very robust search that helps you narrow down candidates rather quickly. Contact the individuals you are considering and ask them to do a small assignment for you. If they are successful, consider hiring them on a regular basis. Again, this takes some work, patience, and experimentation. Once you find a valuable resource, you’ll lighten your burden and increase productivity at the same time.

As your business grows and you know more about SEO, I highly recommend outsourcing. It does take some initial work and research to find the perfect outsourcing partner, but I’ve found qualified programmers for as little as $15/hr, and individuals to help with SEO tasks related to my own sites for less than $4/hr. Not only is the quality of work excellent, but affordable as well. This allows me to focus on bigger and better projects and have more free time to spend with family and friends—a real priority in my life.
Now that I’ve shared the link-building methods I’ve used to successfully achieve top Search Engine rankings, and build a number of online businesses, I thought I’d cover some of the do’s and do not’s you should consider when implementing any search engine optimization campaign.

For starters, let me remind you that this is a marathon not a sprint. This is something I’ve shared with all of my consulting clients who either expect instant results or don’t have a full grasp on how Search Engine Optimization works.

If you want page one listings in twenty-four hours, I can do that for you. All I would need to do is find a keyword phrase that isn’t all that competitive and shows listings for press releases, articles, or social media on page one of Google. Then I’d put a link on my high authority blog with the keyword in the title or send out a press release from a site that already displays a result on page one. But what’s the point? Once indexed, the corresponding listing will be there for three to five hours and then vanish as quickly as it arrived. SEO is not about creating a flash in the pan but rather applying search engine optimization best practices that result in top rankings that last with little or no maintenance. If you can accomplish that goal, everyone wins.

To get to the top you must pace your link-building efforts. In the next section, I’ll actually show you how to do this. Again, build links too quickly and you’ll get penalized. Build them methodically over time, and in the right way, and you’ll achieve lasting results. Always keep the long-term in mind when it comes to SEO. I can tell you from years of SEO experience that when you start an active link-building campaign you may experience what’s known as the "Google Dance." This is when you see your results shoot up one day, disappear the next, and bounce from position to position. This is actually a good sign. It means that Google is acknowledging your link-building activity and trying to award your site with an appropriate search position. Also remember that it’s common to see little movement during the first few weeks or months of link building. Stay the course though. Upward movement of search position can happen quickly and significantly. Often times you have to prime the pump before you see results. All I can say is have faith in the methodology because it works. Optimizing your web pages and building quality inbound links produces results.

The other area to consider is link diversity. More often than not, you are going to find one link-building technique that you prefer above all others. This is natural and occurs with almost everyone. Nonetheless, you have to remember that Google is not just looking for inbound links; they are also looking at link diversity. You need to focus on attracting links of all kinds, not just a specific kind. Articles, blogs, forums, etc. all matter. Always seek to build a diverse set of inbound links versus putting all your eggs in one basket. If you were to focus on a single link type and Google changed their algorithm and devalued those links, your SEO efforts would become meaningless. Spread the risk and show Google that sites of all kinds are linking to your online resources.

One area that you should always be cautious of is full SEO automation. As mentioned previously, I’ve experimented with link building automation tools, and nine out of ten times they hurt your rankings. Either the tools themselves are flawed or, if functional they can easily be misused. Don’t fall prey to the dozens of vendors who promise search engine optimization automation. I confess that I do use a few automated tools but in a very limited way—to help me manage the dozens of websites and blogs I’m optimizing for at any one time. However, none of these tools handle 100% of the task. Rather, they are semi-automated and require interaction.

Some automated tools, which are more focused on keyword research or monitoring, are safe to use. For example, the one automated tool I do use religiously is Google Alerts. Set up alerts by visiting Google.com/alerts to see which sites are picking up and posting your content. Keyword research tools are also very helpful for reducing the time it takes to select strong keywords for your optimization efforts. You can see all of the tools I approve on my secret page.

The final area of caution is trying to be a lone ranger. When I started in SEO there wasn’t much of an SEO community. Today, tens ofthousands of people either make a living with search engine optimization or at least participate in SEO-related discussions on a regular basis. I encourage you to reach out to others in the community via forums and other online resources to ask questions and join the discussion. This is why I created the Internet Marketing Forum—to help streamline and build your knowledge of Search with like-minded individuals.
Here’s what you should take away from this section about "Off-Page Optimization" :
  1. Off-page Optimization is your key to Google Success.
  2. Your success on Google is based on which websites are linking to you and how they link to you.
  3. Link quality is essential for improving SERPs.
  4. When engaging in a reciprocal link, make sure that the website that is providing a link back to you has an equal or greater Google PR. This is important for maintaining a favorable Google PR balance.
  5. There are essentially three types of links : one-way, reciprocal, and three-way linking. One-way links, especially if they are from a page with a "High Google PR", are the best.
  6. The most effective way to identify the right sites to get links from is to identify who is linking to your competition. You can do this by using search engine optimization software or by using major search engines.
  7. Sources for identifying inbound links to competitors include Google, Alexa, and SEO tools.
  8. Use the proper link text when link building.
  9. Always include your keywords and/or keyword phrases in your link text.
  10. When link building, remember that quality attracts quality.
  11. Be persistent, take massive action, and the links will come.
  12. Build your inbound links with the help of :
    • Article Marketing
    • Link exchanges/link requests
    • Directory submissions
    • Blogging
    • Social bookmarks
    • Press releases
    • RSS feeds
    • Forum marketing
    • Authority links
    • Social media sites
    • Google places
    • Give people a reason to link to your website
    • Use outsourcing to free up your time and complete repetitive tasks
    • Be cautious of some automated link building tools as they can negatively impact your website ranking.
After writing the first edition of this book, I received literally hundreds of emails asking for more information and more insight into how I handle link building for my own websites and blogs. Based on the information you’ve read so far, you understand the importance of slow and steady link building. In fact, link-building cowboys are out there every day trying to get hundreds or thousands of links to their sites through automated services and shortcuts only to find that Google slaps them with a big penalty — setting their SEO back weeks or even months.

I’ve experimented with tons of paid services to support my "Search Engine Optimization Efforts". Nine times out of ten, they either can’t deliver what they promise or worse yet, have a negative impact on search results (ex: website submission services). In this section, I’m going to reveal the exact link-building science I’ve applied to achieve number one rankings for many of my websites and blogs. And, it all begins with a very simple spreadsheet :
From my Perspective, "Link Building" is a monthly process. Build links too quickly and you’ll be penalized or perhaps achieve top rankings for only a short while (e.g., press releases). Build links too slowly and your competition may always outrank you. Striking the perfect balance takes experience and experimentation. I’ve spent a decade creating a link-building process that can give you the results you’re looking for. The only variable is the competitiveness of your niche. I recently completed an SEO job for a well-known trucking company who wanted top rankings for a particular keyword phrase. This competitive phrase got nearly thirty thousand searches a month and had some very stiff competition. Although the company knew it would take a long time to achieve results, they understood the value in achieving a top ranking for this term. We applied the necessary "SEO Techniques" and got the result they were looking for—but it took almost nine months. This is because the term was very competitive and other sites that were in the top positions had been there for a very long time. This is why doing the Keyword Research up-front, to find less competitive terms, is so important.

Once you have developed a website or blog, identified the keyword phrase you want to rank well for, and implemented on-page optimization, the next step is to have a link-building plan. Start your link building by developing a comprehensive list of sites linking into the top few results for the keyword phrase you’re targeting. Systematically work through all those links and try to acquire links back to your site from each of them. Once your list has been exhausted, it’s time for a disciplined link-building program.

The best way to manage your activity is by creating a spreadsheet that allows you to track your activity. The previous image is a summary level but you should also create tabs on your spreadsheet that capture the sites you use for submission. This allows you to come back to authoritative sites on a monthly basis and reuse them for link submissions. Your plan should be as follows :
  • Create, spin, and distribute one article per month - Each article should include alink or two back to your site in the author section and possibly in the article itself. Consider using tools to help with this initiative. Use a spinner to create unique versions of your article and distribution resources. I usually have one or two articles per site queued up, spun, and ready to go at the beginning of each month. I distribute these articles at a pace of around fifty per day to potential directories and sites using semi-automated article distribution tools. 
  • Submit to high PR web directories - Directory submissions are another great way to produce one-way links to your websites and blogs. Pace your submission, but don’t worry about being too aggressive. Even if you submit to say twenty-five to fifty directories in a given month, most will take time to post your link, if at all. There is only a small success rate unless paying for a directory listing. Therefore, feel free to submit to a number of directories during the course of a month. Over time it will appear as though you are receiving a good number of directory listing confirmations on a regular basis.
  • Do follow blog submissions - Each month, focus on making quality submissions to "Do follow" blogs in your niche. If you are unable to find do follow blogs in your niche, focus on high PR blogs of any kind. By taking the time to read posts and make value-added comments in the proper way, you can drive quality links to your site. I recommend no more than ten to twenty quality blog posts in a given month. Assuming you have a list of ten quality blogs each month, making a couple of posts on each should be easy. This also keeps things manageable. With most blogs there is moderation. As a result, your comments may take some time to appear live or may be rejected. Stay the course and you’ll find more and more of your comments being accepted. 
  • Forum Submissions - As discussed previously, forum submissions are a great resource for one-way links. Keep in mind that you may need to make a minimum of ten posts before you are allowed to display your signature including links back to your website. Begin to register and cultivate a number of forums that you can go back to on a monthly basis to add content and display your signature. I suggest anywhere around twenty forum posts per month. The reason is that forum posting, much like blog posting, takes time. If you’re aggressive you could certainly use forum posting much more. I’d shoot for around fifty posts in a month. This is definitely one of those tasks I’d consider outsourcing once you’ve established yourself on some targeted forums for your niche. 
  • Profile Submissions - Each month I use a freelancer to post on high-profile websites. Although Angela’s packet offers around thirty potential links each month, invariably the list boils down to around twenty or so sites where you can easily place a one-way link back to your website. I use this list for all of the sites I’m optimizing and have even added my own list of high-profile sites that I revisit monthly. Again, if just starting out, try for about ten high-PR profile submissions for your site each month. If more advanced and you have supplemented the sites provided on Angela’s list, you can post up to fifty over the course of a month. Once you’ve posted your link for a particular site on one of the suggested profile sites, do not post again until the following month. Duplicate links created at the same time won’t help you and in fact may hurt your link-building efforts. 
  • Press Release Submission - Each month you should be distributing one press release per website. Much like our article submission process, I like to write a release of around 350 words and put it into my spinner. Then, I make submissions to my list of top five free PR sites (e.g., Pr-inside, Free-Press-Release.com, PRlog.org, etc.). Once you have submitted to a press release distribution site, the news is distributed to hundreds of additional websites, news sites, and blogs. 
  • Social Media Links - Social media is an important resource for communicating with others and posting links to your websites and blogs. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the like, are common social media sites that you should be registered for and posting to on a regular basis. Include a link to your site in actual social media posts each month. The links in your profile are what matter most, but additional links on your "Wall" and in your "Tweets" can build link equity. 
  • Video Submissions - I used to have video submissions and social media tied together for link-building purposes, and to a large extent, they are connected. YouTube, a video hosting site, is really one of today’s largest social media sites. My goal is to produce one new video every month and post on video sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Viddler. Videos are commonplace and are easy to distribute. Additionally, universal search results are picking up and display videos in search result listings. Always make sure to include a link to your site in the beginning of your video’s description when submitting to video sites. 
  • Social Bookmarking - The concept of bookmarking is very powerful and one I’ve come to rely on for creating and managing inbound links across public websites. There are so many social bookmarking sites that you can do about twenty-five social bookmarks per month for a year and never hit the same site twice. In the social bookmarking section I mentioned some resources for helping with your social bookmarking. Choose a strategy and post to social bookmarking sites on a monthly basis. I recommend not only bookmarking your home page URL but top level pages too. This is seen as less "spammy" and gives you many more pages to work with, avoiding duplicate bookmarks. Always use your keywords in the bookmarking link.
There you have it. This is the exact schedule, with minor tweaks from time to time, that I use on a monthly basis to optimize my own websites and blogs. I suggest that you spend the first few month of your SEO campaign working through each of the submission types on your own. Once you have a strong understanding and foundation for your link-building efforts, find an outsource partner that can help you with different aspects of the process. Before you know it, you’ll be able to reduce the time you spend with repetitive tasks and focus on your next big search engine optimization project!
"Increasing your ranking on Google" and other Search Engines isn’t complex, but it does take effort. If you want to increase your website ranking on search engine results pages, begin by implementing the on-page optimization and the off-page optimization techniques you’ve learned in this book.

One question I seem to get quite often is, "How long does it take?" This is a difficult question to answer because it’s relative. If you’re trying to optimize for a keyword phrase like "Eating blueberries on a Sunday afternoon," it will happen quickly, requiring simple on-page optimization and just a few articles with links back to your website.

On the other hand, if you are trying to optimize for a competitive term, and the top-ranked website has hundreds of incoming links, it can take a number of months to reach number one on Google. I can tell you from experience that more often than not, you’ll put in a lot of effort and it will appear as nothing is happening or only small shifts in results are occurring. But stay focused. All of a sudden…wham! Your site will jump up in the search results unexpectedly. Stay the course and I guarantee you’ll see results. Many fail because they give up too soon.

Regardless of where you’re starting from, the key is persistence. These are the same techniques I’ve used to achieve top positions on Google for almost every keyword and keyword phrase that is important to my websites.
