Using Paid Directory Submissions 101

I've read a few posts where people ask me how come I have so many posts in the Hall of Fame. It is fairly simple. I follow the outline in my course, and I follow the advice in this blog.

Directory Submissions

That said, there are a few ways to fast track. If you want to make money from your blog, and you want to increase traffic and hits, there are a few ways to do it.

I mentioned one good method in the last post. Another is to submit through a directory submission tool. This is different than a website submission. Directories are not search engines.

http://www.directorymaximizer.com/

This is the service I use. They have 1000 directories in their list, and are always adding more. There is no 'reciprical link needed' increasing the value of the links. Each one costs $.14 and you can submit to as many as you need at a time. If you only have $15 to invest this month, then that is good.

After a few months you will have submitted to them all. This service has a 60-80% acceptance rate on the PR3 and higher sites.

I submit to the PR3 and higher sites first, while they are still new and looking for members. The PR0 sites will take anyone. The PR3 and higher sites will also pull your page rank and traffic exposure site up faster.

Page Rank Increased

But, beware of buying links based on the PR of the home page. A directory with a PR8 will not help you if it is on the home page, and the page your site appears on only has a PR0. (PR zero)

I have heard of the sites promising that if you pay a high price for a listing on a site with PR8 pages that your site will increase. I understand the theory. I was taught the theory in class. But, I've never actually seen a person who paid $200 for a listing on a PR8 site - a single link - actually benefit from it.


PS. If you don't use heading titles and the meta tag section of this blog, or any blog, this advice probably will not work as well as I say it will.

*Best of Both Worlds

The objective of this blog is to teach people how to make money writing paid posts. While I love work at home, I occasionally run across a sponsor that makes me miss certain aspects of the 'work for hire' world. When you are working for a paycheck, receiving credit is so easy.

Payday Loans from paydayloanquotes not only offers short term quotes, you can pick your own terms and interest rates. I was never familiar with the payday loan idea until I ran a cleaning company. Our teams would receive their checks on Wed, and cash them using a payday loan service.
The idea of using an internet service is not new. I've been writing articles for 'free content' sites on the benefits of payday loans for about three years. They are just another form of obtaining credit, but easier than approaching the banks, and cheaper than using credit cards.

I checked out this site and decided to write for them. They appear to be one reputable and have a great FAQ section.

Fast Track Your Blog to Higher Page Rank and Traffic

There is a quick way to fast track your blog and get it ranked. It will only cost $20.00. Join Google AdWords. Here is how it works. You sign up for a Google Adwords account. Invest $20, Google says the minimum is $50, but they will accept $20.00 https://adwords.google.com/select/Login

To enter your blog or website into the program, they must rank and spider (read your website) within 24 hours. Your website is instantly submitted - no sand box. Your site is instantly ranked. And, it is rated for the campaign. Also, you will receive traffic to your site for the $20.00.

This reduces the time needed for your blog or website to be added to searches, receive search traffic, and to receive a Page Rank. A higher page rank equals more money from Google Adsense, more traffic from searches, and more exposure on the web.

However, there are a few 'tricks'

1. There should be 20 - 50 posts in the blog, even if these are 'free content' articles, reviews you wrote, or daily muses.

2. There should be at least 30 - 50 back links to the site. These can all be from another blog, forums, or directories. Many of these can be inside your blog, navigation links.

3. There should be inbound links from your site to other 'relevant' sites to help make your keywords solid. a) only use keyword anchor that matches the keywords you want Google to focus on. b) make sure the site you link to has the same keywords in the titles, links, and meta. c) use the keywords in meta information and titles on your blog

Following these rules will fast track your blog or website.

Ethical Blogging Rules

I must admit that Trick Falls made me start to think. One of the problems I face is that much of what I do, and how I do it, has become habit. When I am writing for new writers and work at home professionals, I often forget the 'little things.'

Trick falls asked about disclosure in a blog, and making readers feel like they have been 'advertised to' when they are reading. This forced me to take a good hard look at my blogs. I knew that I had disclosure. But, I never really thought about how I do it.

First, there are organizations that help bloggers with disclosure and ethical problems. There are several companies like womma that help bloggers learn how to use full disclosure and ethical blogging.



There are also disclosure badges from PPP and other places that let people know a post has been sponsored. I also use a comment such as:

This post is my thoughts and my message for the day. I thank XXX company for sponsoring it and allowing me to continue bringing this information to you free



Pay Per Post is one of the most ethical, and profitable, paid posting sites.

If you would like to make some money by writing a review for my blog, and let the world know about the information I give away free, then please click the red bar above. PPP will pay you to review my site.

Family & Work at Home

I've recently seen an increasing number of web blogs that are dedicated to the concerns of elderly care. There are more options now than there were more than a decade ago. Today, people can expect to live longer. In fact, I recently read that people at 60 are now as healthy as 40 year olds were only twenty years ago. This means that before I retire, my parents will need my help.

It brings up a few questions. My father is becoming violent as he grows older. I am sorry, but I do not want to live with a violent person in my house. It will make it difficult to continue working. I have secretly started looking at care homes. I have been looking into the options available so I can arrange the right kind of care when it is time.

I've been focusing on news and tips from care experts that manage community forums. I haven't contacted care yet, but I am also starting to plan for my own retirement. I don't want to force my children into the place I am now.

How to Buy Website Traffic

Guest Writer: Mark Walters http://www.CashFlowInstitute.com


There are several reasons to buy web traffic. An ecommerce business will not be in business long before they realize that 100 000 visitors does not generate much income. Instead, they need to be attracting 500 000 – a month. Even at that, their success rate will be low.

This causes many people to consider buying ‘hits’ to their website. There are several reasons why a website might need to buy hits. If they are a social networking ‘content management’ site, built to pre-sell a product, then they might want to consider buying hits to increase their statistics. The higher their stats, the more they can charge for advertising.

An ecommerce business needs to increase their hits to increase the Return On Investment (ROI). But, is all traffic good traffic?

Quality Traffic

Even if you have read everything about Internet Marketing Expert alive on this planet talk about web traffic. Some claim that websites need as much traffic as possible, others claim that 1000 target audience visitors are worth more than 100 000 random visitors. One things most gurus believe, is that a website will earn one sale from 10,000 visitors, even if the website breaks every ecommerce rule in the book.
First step is to build a sales page, and then used Google’s Adwords to drive traffic to the website. In fact, build several. Keep stats on which ones do well, and even measure whether one does well in the winter, another does well in the summer.

Bad Traffic

Driving traffic to a site is easy - give something away free. But, like a bricks and mortar business, those people must be willing to purchase something. Most sites will receive comments from visitors demanding the paid products free. They will not pay. They have no money. This is ‘bad’ traffic. These people have money, they are just not willing to pay for the product.

Bad traffic drains the company’s bandwidth, increases the load on the Server, and makes it expensive to continue giving the product away for free.

This is where Google can come in handy. Changing a few keywords, for a few weeks, can help the business owner ‘find’ the Good Traffic.

Good Traffic

Generic keywords can bring in the wrong type of visitor, but so can using the right keywords. Offering something free will bring in traffic, but most of it won’t have any interest in the service or product. They will just want something free.
Good traffic will still only provide a 5% click through rate, but that is often enough. Instead of offering a product free, offer the ‘introductory’ or ‘sample’ free. This alerts people to the fact that there is something for sale on the other end.

"Good Traffic" equals "Targeted Traffic!"

Targeted Traffic

One of the best ways to find targeted traffic is to go to social networking sites that ‘pre sell’ your target audience and then advertise on their sites. Another way is to advertise, or write for, newsletters aimed at people who are interested in purchasing your product.

Buying Traffic

There are hundreds of sites that promise to drive targeted traffic to your site. Their initial cost is fairly reasonable. If the number of people hitting the site is the only factor, and the income is generated from advertising or Google, then buying hits may be profitable. If nothing else, it will work to increase the page rank of the site.

Unfortunately, these lists go out of date almost before they are created. It may take a website more than a year to build a list of ‘people interested in learning how to start a business.’ By the time the list is public, those who signed up are probably already in business, the majority are looking for free information and are not buyers, and the remainder will just delete the emails.

New Paid Blogging Site

I've been reviewing sites that have paid blogging. I am trying to find ones that do not have a lot of rules, take newer blogs, pay more than $5 for each post, and let bloggers pick and chose the advertisers they want to post on their site.

I found that in smorty. click the link below. It gets a 5/5 review from us.
