Tips On Generating Links - My Way

As bloggers we all know how important it has become to build quality one way links to our blogs. Here are some of the ways I have implemented towards building links that I thought I would share. The entire purpose of this article is to share my technique and tips on link building and gain some from the readers as well. Some of these tips might be unheard of but they have certainly proved to be very effective.

Sponsor Popular Blogs

One of the best ways to get links from popular blogs is to become a sponsor when they have contests and so on. If you are to buy a link from a popular blog it would easily cost you hundreds of dollars. Instead when they are running contests, offer to become a sponsor for their contest. It doesn’t have to be anything big. It can be as low as ten dollars. This is exactly how I got a link from Shoemoney , a very popular blog with a PR of 6. [Read more →]

Google Pagerank - It’s a Class System

The recent pagerank update compelled me to write this article. I am not going to write about whose PR went down and whose went up cause honestly I dont really care ;-). This does not imply that I myself don’t want a pagerank for my blog. As a matter of fact, its become more of a need than want. To be honest I have never liked the Pagerank system that google introduced a couple years ago. It defeats the purpose of maintaining the quality and integrity of a site as many of us solely build blogs and sites to gain that PR right away( popularity helps in quickly monetizing a website or a blog if you are serving advertisement ), ignoring the important fact such as content and other related things that makes a site worthy of anybody’s time.

So, what do I really mean by the the topic ” Google Pagerank - It’s a Class System “? Well, in the real world, society has been divided into two groups, upper class and lower class. Individuals with money are ranked at the top and middle and lower class are ranked at the bottom, this is the Societal rank we have all been categorized into in the real world. I find this very similar with websites and blogs now with google’s Pagerank system. A website that has a high PR is ranked on top and new websites that come out and are struggling take forever to gain that status. I just feel there is no need for this differentiation as I don’t see the purpose. [Read more →]

But never dared to ask “ well, you know where to shoot your questions now.

Million Dollar and Million Euro Wiki

For those who haven’t heard of MillionEuroWiki.com and MillionDollarWiki.com you have got to check it out.

The concept of both pages are the same. Its like Wikipedia and you can buy a page on these sites with the word you like. I bought two names “Web” and “Domain Name”. The difference from Wikipedia is that the pages you buy on these sites are owned by the respective owners, and can be used as they please as long as it is not offending to anybody and does not contain any illegal or adult material. Also the content should be relevant to the name of the page.

This a good opportunity for investors as these sites will grow since its viral in nature. MillionDollarWiki has already sold 1020 pages in few weeks and is counting and MillionEuroWiki has sold 73 pages so far.

The other thing with these sites is you won’t really have to drive the traffic. Since your pages are within the site ( like Wikipedia ) if somebody comes to that site and is looking for a page where they can find info on domain name they can click on domain name and BAM… there you go, there is a visitor for you.

Personally, I think both the sites will hit big on the web. Also down the road you will have the opportunity to resell these pages as well. So go ahead and purchase one as the premium names are going away, this is a no brainer not to.

My pages on MillionEuroWiki:

  • Domain Name: Sell and buy domain names
  • Web: Its web so advertise anything that you have on the web here

My Page on Million Dollar Wiki:

  • Contest: Got a contest running on your blog or website, list it here

Search Engine that works for you – Constantly

Search engines have swarmed the internet like mushrooms in a wild jungle. With all the engines it is hard to find which one to use and which not to ( ofcourse everyone knows that they will use google at one point in time ).

On my quest to find something out of the ordinary I came to http://www.swamii.com/. This search engine actually works for you. If you are someone who pretty much lives on keyword searching in a search engine day by day on the same topic, this search engine will make your life easier.If you are someone who needs to keep updated regularly on a certain topic then you can search it on Swamii and everytime something new appears on the internet about the topic you searched for you will be notified and presented with the information. This saves time and hassle of looking for the same information every day and watching the same results on search engine day by day. Swamii will keep you updated on the info you need because it works for you to find what you want.

This is a must use for all the internet users. Great service, great results!
