Search engines value the links pointing to your site as votes . This is how they determine what your site is about, and the importance and relevance of your site in relation to those words. Links from high PageRank sites are considered bigger votes. And votes from trusted and authority sites are also considered more valuable. Links from a .gov or .edu are trusted sites, and will be considered a stronger vote by the search engines.

Though most SEOs know this, you do still read the occasional naysayer. There are even one or two very prominent industry stars that insist they are no more valuable than any other link. This is really just not true. If you run a test on 2 sites, and add .edu links to #1, and standard links to #2, you definitely will find site #1 to rank higher. At Edutextlink.com we have tested this, and we see very regular evidence that they .edu links are taken more seriously by search engines.

That .edu text links are valued higher by the search engines should not be in dispute. When doing any type of random search, you will find .edu and .gov sites ranking repeatedly in the top 10. And that’s even when the .gov and .edu sites are outdated or mostly irrelevant. That’s a fact.

When you think about .edu links and what makes them rank higher, the answer is clear. If a new university were to open tomorrow, links from that site likely wouldn’t have much weight or value. But most of the .edu sites are very mature, huge, trusted sites that are full of information. And they have tens of thousands of inbound links and high PR. This is why the search engines are placing a weightier value on these links.

Its possible that the one or two lone SEOs that deny this value are confused. As long as we keep seeing great results, as long as our clients are rising up swiftly in search, as long as the links are in quality content, we will continue to sing the praises of a .gov or .edu link.

When you make the decision to get into a home business opportunity, the first thing you need to do is to find a niche market to pitch a product or service to. You’ll need to go through an evaluation process where you try to determine which markets have a need you can fill and what products will appeal most strongly to people in this niche.

The best option for you would be to go through your system and dedicate your time to set up an Internet home business that will be consistently profitable. Some of the fundamental ways to set up this system should have information on how to:

- find the right niche market

- create a product or service customized to the needs of this market.

-set up a website that will let you collect leads

-collect your profits and put them in the bank

This works no matter your level of expertise, and it will maintain a consistency that most people only dream about. It starts with the basics, giving you the four basic principles of all successful businesses.

It’s easier to find an existing need and fill it than it is to try to manufacture one where it does not exist. Ask yourself what the needs of your target market are and how you can best fill these needs with a product or service. The best way to go is to market a high quality product with a proven track record.

So what’s the best internet home business to begin with? The answer hands down is an affiliate program. These programs have proven their potential to generate a healthy revenue stream and are well known. Or you can look for products which offer either basic or master resale rights.

Products with resale rights allow you to purchase the product with the right to resell it as your own product. Basic resale rights allow you to sell a copy to the customer for their personal use only. Master resale rights allow you to sell the product and the rights to allow someone else to sell the product.

Affiliate products or where you sign up with the merchant or service provider who will allow you to use links and banners that you can put on your own website. When someone visits your website and clicks on your link. It will take them to the merchant site. If they make a purchase after going to the merchant site, you will receive a commission.

Out of these two types of business, affiliate marketing is by far the easier. There are typically many affiliates out there promoting the product already, making brand identification a non-issue. Reselling a product is a lot harder, since you usually have to work to establish the brand.

When using the Clickbank affiliate program you will want to pick a product or service that already has a good track record. In this way, you will be cutting down on the amount of time it takes for people to recognize the product and for sales to start rolling in. If you have a product that is geared to a certain niche market where people are passionate and looking for information, you can choose either product type - affiliate or resale.

This is not to say that you couldn’t combine the two. No matter how you choose to get into internet marketing, whether in reselling or affiliate marketing, use the system and set your goal that will get you on your way to becoming an affiliate marketing success story. This system will also show you everything you need to know to make big profits as a reseller.

Search engine optimization, or SEO as those in the industry call it, is largely an unknown term to those who don’t work with it. In fact, most people have never even heard of SEO. It is telling that even within the SEO field, not everyone agrees on how it is best achieved.

There are of course the basic guidelines: lots of content on site, properly formed meta tags, get inbound links, give outbound links appropriately, and strong site organization. But the reason SEO continues to be more of an art than a scientific method is because there is no one way to accomplish these things. Exactly how much content does a site need, and how many times does a keyword need to be on a page? How many inbound links do I need and how do I get them? Are paid links ok? Are comment links ok? What makes a good title tag? A good h1 tag? Am I doing anything else wrong that will hurt my rankings?

Most professional SEO providers will provide their client a level of detailed in-depth report similar to one another. But that’s where much of the similarity ends. While most will not have any outright conflicting advise, their content and their approach will be different. If you polled 10 providers for reports, you’d likely get 10 different versions.

The industry is an exciting one for SEO providers. Because there’s no clear cut right or wrong way, much of their work is based on inherent knowledge, experience, and a whole lot of intuitiveness. Nobody has a secret plan that will work 100% every time, and every website is different in its needs and goals. Building traffic and improving rankings are the only way a SEO provider gets a “report card”. And because SEO work takes time before the effects are seen, there’s almost a magical excitement present that the suspense of not knowing brings.

For an individual to perform successful SEO work on their own website is nearly impossible because of all the nuances involved these days. And things change regularly, in fact so rapidly that only an experienced SEO provider with an extensive performance history is likely to be able to keep up with them. The best way to assure success is to check out providers and look at their track record.

Website design is crucial to not only MLM / network marketing business, but any online business. It determines if a visitor stays in your website to read the content or just close the page to view other sites. Here are the 5 step to Website design for your MLM business;

Step 1: Choosing a Domain Name

You should choose a domain that is relevant to your business. You should use domain that consist of high search keywords. Google will rank them better when people search for the keywords.

Step 2: Match the Colors.

Use colors that are soothing to the eyes, and matches your whole layout of your Website. Bold words to catch attention. Colors like red, yellow are good and striking for attention catching to important words you want your readers to catch. Use colors to draw readers’ attention to the area you want them to focus on.

While trying to create emphasis, try to refrain from creating too many emphasis areas. Don’t use too many bolds and colors. Too many bolds and colors will confuse your readers, ultimately you only need readers to read areas and information that may contribute to a sale.

Step 4: Structure of Content

Make sure that your content flow through your website smoothly and is reader friendly. Do not try to put all infomation in one page. You can use different web pages to store your information,

Step 5: Opt-In Form

Install an opt-in form in your website to capture email contacts of visitors for future updates. Not all visitors who visit your website the first time will buy your product. You need to follow up with them to increase the chances of a purchase in future. You can offer a free gift to visitors who leave their email contact.

From my personal experience of building websites, it is a trap of all owners to try to perfect their website too much. They end up adding too many fancy gadgets and applications to impress their visitors. Smetimes they end up neglecting other core functions like traffic building.

Test your website for the conversion rates, if it doesn’t convert traffic into sales you probably need to change some elements in your website. So it is also good to do A/B testing for your website.

There is no point of having a beautiful site if nobody visits it and buys from it.

Let me tell you my story. On November 20, 2008 I started a website called http://www.article-submission-express.com. This site is actually for a service I offer for article submissions. Basically what we do is solicit clients who want to increase their search engine rank by getting one way text links to their website. Today as I write this it is December 7, 2008. I am now ranked 101 on Google for the term Article Submissions.

I have studied several of the guru search engine optimizers to figure out how to get a site to the top of the search engines. I have a few websites, so I divided up the techniques I am using to find out what the best way to promote a site, and move it through the rankings is. For this particular site I have only used two methods. I bough a few relatively low cost Google advertisements, and I submitted articles just like this. The reason I am writing to you today is because I can say with certainty that article submission may be one of the fastest was to move to the top of the search engine results.

Let me begin by telling you as this writing there are 15,200,000 results when you search on Google for article submissions. Wouldn’t you agree that being number 101 after just two weeks and three days out of those results is incredible? I also want to tell you my site was indexed in Google in 3 days. To me, these are incredible results.

I have dedicated myself to the study of search engine optimization over the past several months. I want to rank high for a competitive word, because if I can learn how to do it, I will have many different avenues of income available to me. I have studied people like Aaron Wall and Brad Fallon, I also use Brad Callen’s software a lot. I started a few sites, and used different methods for each site to see which of these methods are most successful. Of all the sites I have started, this site with the article submissions and Google Ads has brought me not only the most efficient results, but the most results.

I used code based things such as TrafficBoosterPro which worked for a few days for a keyword on another site I had, but then Google penalized my site, and guess what, I have NEVER recovered. I also tried reciprocal linking, which is controversial, in that Google may not count the links. I am starting to tend to agree, the site I did that on has not ranked at all. I even developed two sites where I build links to one and didn’t to the other, but made them on the same topic (they are not duplicate websites), guess what for words they have in common, the one with no links to it is outranking the one that I have actually optimized.

So far on my current site, http://www.article-submission-express.com, I have done two things. I bought Google ads that convert to promote my site until I can get a good organic listing. For those who don’t know Organic Listings are the ones in Google that are free, and you don’t pay per click. Then I submitted articles just like this one to as many directories as possible with a link back like you see below in my resource box.

This is the most success I have ever had. I did no press releases (which I believe to work, but I haven’t tried because of cost.) I did no link building, I didn’t join a link farm, I didn’t make link bait, I didn’t trade links. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even put a page on there that you could like to me. I didn’t put this in social networking sites or anything. Why not, couldn’t I and increase my rankings? Maybe, but right now what I have done this far is working, and therefore I am going to keep doing what I am doing and monitor my results. The best part is, now I am 101 in Google, so I can monitor my results. My next article will probably be a report on what this article did for my rankings.

I wish you all the best of look in your optimization efforts. If you are at all interested in having articles submitted, you can do it my way, or you can do it manually. My website as I said earlier does offer this service and you can get a link to it in the article below. Either way I want you to take away from this article that article submission works for SEO. Again, this article is not promoting my site, but promoting that the method works.

FAP Turbo software a scam…People are asking?

Over the yaers many Forex trading programs sold on the internet may show outstanding back test results. But in actual fact, these software lose a lot of money when they are trading live. (as you know) This is because some of them are programmed to fit past results, and this will not make them more successful during live trading tests.

Well really to be honest, FAP Turbo made me kinda skeptical at first look. Its back test equity curve is really smooth and looked too good to be pretty true to me.

The Points Used to Evaluate the FAP Turbo Software.

First of all it’s Winning Percentages! When I first began evaluating this software, there were several key factors that could be used to judge its profitability. The first factor is the winning rate of the system. This refers to the percentage of winning trades that the software makes. FAP Turbo’s winning rate in the past 9 years has been 95% on average, and live testing is now showing an even higher success rate.

The Drawdown Another important factor is the drawdown of the system. This is a percentage figure that tells me what is the maximum % of capital that FAPTurbo has lost. Typical Forex trading software has drawdowns of 10% to 20%. FAPTurbo’s drawdown is 0.35% which explains why the equity graph is so smooth on the statement page on its website.

I Mean Can You Really Trust the Back Test and Live Testing Results on the FAP Turbo Site? When I finished looking at the historical results and its live trading performance, I am starting to see that this software trades in the direction of the long term trend, and the patterns of trading between back test and live testing are very similar. This shows that the robot is running with the same rules and therefore the proof results are reliable and stable.

My review comes from years of being in the market myself making money and a close look at the FAP Software.

I didn’t believe it when I first saw this SEO linking system known as 3 way Links by the seo guru Jon Leger.. I was skeptical of a system like this at first.

It seems like one of those “too good to be true” deals that I generally stay away from. But I had a friend that joined and was giving it rave reviews, so I decided to take a closer look at automated link system.

Looking at it now after being on the service for almost a year now, I would say it is not “miracle service” for it cannot grab the #1 spot in a highly competitive niche market, like “insurance” but I know for a fact it has helped me to grab the top rankings in some smaller niche keyword phrases.

It has helped me get to the top of the engines for several “long tail” keyword phrases that requires less link popularity to rank for. It will take a few weeks but it is definitely worth the wait.

The way the links grow is slow, and as your network of links grow, your PR grows.

At first, I tried this on sites that I did not care much about and saw good results the rankings began to climb.

The 3waylinks.net system allows webmasters to add up to 50 domains in their link network in exchange for thier monthly fee. In the beginning I only added 3 of my own websites. I decided to do some otehr things and then months went by and noticed a doubling in traffic to those site. I am now convinced it is worth it. To this day, I am still a member.

On one of my sites on the network, I was able to acheive a top 3 ranking for a highly competitive term (which I will not reveal here..but be assured, I was extremely pleased…

A few tips I will leave with you about 3 way networks:

1. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT - If you want to test it, test it on sites that are marginally important so that you can find out for yourself if it is good.

2. CONTINUE TO LINK TRADE IN OTHER PLACES - It is definitely dangerous to leave all your linking in only one place. IF you will build a strong network of links all over the net, it will be much better. This will disguise any possible footprint…even though I have not found this to be a problem any way.

3. IT DON’T HELP PR - It didn’t help my sites with PR anyway. I find PR to be not such a huge factor in rankings anyway. While I dod keep an aye on it some, I don’t base my SEo solely around the concept like some SEO “experts”.

4. YOU NEED SOME WEBMASTER SKILLS - The install of the code could make a web newbie cringe, but it is not difficult. IF you need help, email me.

5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT KEYWORDS - I usually pick highly related keywords that are not going against huge competition in terms of sites optimizing for it AND also produces a good bit of traffic according to Google’s Adword Keyword Tool.

If you are looking to get more traffic, build rankings, and have an extra way to dominate Google, I highly recommend 3waylinks.net
