Many successful Internet marketers utilize a strategy of promoting a landing page to capture their readers contact information. They then follow up via an auto responder to keep their name in front of their subscribers.

Backlinks: Gain backlinks fast

Unlike Bing and Yahoo, Google’s Organic Search Engine results is largely driven by backlinks (links from other sites pointing to yours).

In the ancient history of the Web (the 1990s), the perceived ‘wisdom’ was that you, as the Webmaster of a new website or as an Internet Marketer, would simply send a polite email or letter to another Webmaster in your niche with a more authoritative site and kindly asked her or him to put a link on their site to yours.

They then read your correspondence, were moved by your eloquent prose and promptly placed a link on their site to yours and when Google noticed (usually pretty quickly), you may have gotten a little upward bump in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

Fast forward to today.

The Web is a super-busy mega expressway and if you come over and visit me on my backlinks info site, I’ll show you sites building literally millions of backlinks a year for highly competitive terms. Yes, I said millions of backlinks. Scary, huh?

But in fact, for only moderately competitive terms, I want to show you very specific backlinking tactics and strategies that I have developed such as Site Bracketing, Forum Clustering, Double Pass Backlinking and Signature Surges that will get you moving on to Page 1.

Consistently.

And the financial difference between having your site cemented to the bottom of Page 64 on Google and being high on Page 1 is immense.

So let me run through my fundamental principles for proven Google Page 1 Results:

[1] One keyword only per page (not site);

[2] Same anchor text for all backlinks to a specific page (yes, it doesn’t look ‘natural’ but neither does flying in a metal tube at 30,000 feet and that works pretty well too!);

[3] Make sure that your backlinks sites are not all hosted on the same IP Address (e.g. Ning, Kickapps, Movable Type);

[4] Sustain your backlinking and don’t drop off for 3 months and expect rankings to keep going up;

[5] Make sure that your SEO fights are winnable with research BEFORE committing to a new site;

[6] Keep your ‘timetable of expectations’ realistic - 3 months is about right (this is also what SEO Godfather Aaron Wall states about backlinking timeframes);

[7] Ignore relevancy in choosing sites for your backlinks (it doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference in real world testing);

[8] Remember that article directory backlinks have the LEAST value and forums have the MOST (at least in my experience);

[9] Boost the backlinks that you do create with Backlink Booster AND my rss>autoblogposting method; and,

[10] Use Forum Clusters, Site Bracketing, Signature Surges, Double Pass Backlinking and Backlink Booster (with autoblogposting!) to really supercharge your backlink power .

How to Make Your Company Social Media-Friendly

Initiating social media communications with existing and potential customers require some thoughtful planning. You have to be non-obtrusive and engaging. Otherwise the conversation will fizzle out even before it begins. Practice the following when opening up social media talk:

1. Observe and listen.

Monitor the social networks for ongoing online communications about your product, brand or niche. You can do this manually, by hanging out at social networks, blogs and forum communities. Or you can use monitoring tools like Technorati, TweetDeck, or Google Alerts to filter and track online communications. After a while you can get the pulse of what people are talking about and how they are talking. You can also conduct market research on your niche, industry or competitor. When you eventually join in conversations or open up a new one, you are knowledge-equipped and ready for fruitful conversations.

2. Know when to talk, and when not to.

Tasteful conversations are appropriate and perfectly-timed. No butting into people’s conversations. No off-center remarks, incessant gabbing, nor aggressive behavior. People find it annoying to be a target of a marketing pitch in one-on-one communications, direct tweets, wall-to-wall posts, or blog comments. Expect a major freeze when you exhaust people with talk about you and your product. When you run out of things to say, a simple “thank you” or “we care” is enough.

3. Really talk.

Vary your topic of conversations. Intersperse casual and engaging talk with your product announcements, event promotions, or company advertising. Be relevant without being rude or arrogant, making sure that people get useful information from conversing with you. You can bring users industry news, or dish out informative or instructional articles. When you really have to push your product, do so with third-party product reviews. When you stimulate two-way communications, you can also gain useful feedback about your business from others, and address customer complaints effectively.

4. Balance casual and corporate communications.

The challenge of social media marketing is infusing both personality and professionalism in each message sent. A right dose of personality keeps conversations interesting, charming fans and followers alike. But too much of it may turn off costumers away from your brand. A professional tone should also be maintained to preserve the company reputation.

5. Remember that people — not tools – market.

People are unaffected by system-generated emails. Real people are behind successful social media communications. They may use tools for effective marketing, but the wit, intelligence and the warmth infused behind every message, are what’s keeping customers engaged.

6. Build a social media culture.

All of your social media talk above is geared towards creating the perfect mindsets and motivations that will encourage your customers to keep coming back for more conversation. People should rally to a theme or concept that you propose for your product or business. They should be transformed from skeptics to loyalists, from lurkers to active participants of your social media culture. They should be empowered to speak out and feel that their voices make a difference. A quality-crafted message sent out in multiple channels like blogs, forums or tweets; a call to respond; plus a social media policy that upholds security and privacy, will keep the culture going for a long time.

Remember that a social media culture is not grown overnight. It takes a lot of patience and commitment to cultivate. In the end, your culture transforms into one associated with reliability, trust and transparency, making for loyal and satisfied social media participants.

Tips on how to increase site traffic/visitors

what the main thing that i personally experienced in SEO that people have craze to increase their site traffic. Many people have spend lots of money to increase their site traffic but today i can share the tips which i implement on my site and helped me to increased a flow of traffic. If you also use this tips i sure that it will help you in SEO and there will be dramatic rise in your site traffic.

Here i want to list to increase site traffic:

1. Use of meta tags:

Meta tags help in almost doubling your site traffic….its my personal experience. For example, suppose, you are just a new blogger and receiving almost 300 hits/ visitors per day without use of meta tags…then after use of meta tags, you’ll receive your daily visitors around 550-600. No joking, its my personal experience. The two things to be followed in using meta tags are:

1. Meta tags content should be most relevant to your site and

2. Meta tags should contain popular keywords which will drive heavy traffic to your site.

If you are using meta tags, but not receiving good traffic, then dude, just recheck your meta tag content and optimize it as explained above.

2. Blogging:

Now a days blogging is also used by many blogger to increase website traffic. Below Some are the methods which you can use to increse traffic

blog commenting – write blog comments that makes sense, even short ones. Don’t write comment like this always “hi” Nice article”. You can also ask some question there and give answers.

featuring other bloggers – write about, describe, list them. In order to forge lasting relationships within your niche you should support your niche bloggers anyways. What better way is there than to make the first step and write about them?

microblogging – Set up microblog like Tumblr, Soup, Posterous etc. and start posting links instead of only on Delicious ond Twitter.

3. Social Media:

Join social networking sites which is the best way to increase traffic . submit your site to social bookmarking sites, use twitter, facebook and other social media niches. Make friends on who is interested (related) in your product or services and give them all updates about your product or services. If possible update give updates on daily basis.

You can get more and more traffic by answering questions on Twitter, answering questions on yahoo, vote begging (via twitter, facebook etc.).

4. Submit articles to directories:

Submitting articles to directories help us in increasing site visitors/hits in two ways:

a. First of all, we receive visitors from the directories itself ie if i submit my article to say ezine articles directory, then i am bound to receive visitors from “ezine articles”.

b. The second reason is actually more important and that is Pagerank(PR). Articles submission helps in improving your site PR as it helps in increasing your pagerank. Larger the pagerank, larger the site traffic.

5. Feeds:

RSS, as you may know stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is technology that compacts your content into a stream of code that can be broadcast over the internet. Feeds are actually meant for attracting traffic by just allowing them to read your articles or only titles and they’ll visit your site to read the full content.

Here is a very useful list where you can do RSS feed submission which help you to Increase your RSS feed Subscribers in a very dramatic way.
