Webmaster Pro Guide

Most small business owners don’t have the time to design and develop their own websites so hiring a web development company is a smart thing to do. When it comes to web hosting you should stay away from most web development companies as they often do not offer 24/7 customer support. Since web hosting for small business owners can be a headache it’s important to go with a company that specializes in hosting.

McKremie, LLC is a united states web hosting company that focuses on small business. They offer affordable hosting solutions that meet most any needs. They even have some glowing reviews online and you can tell they have some happy customers. I found this website last week when they were in the news because they launched a nonprofit web hosting program that allows 501(3)(c) organizations free web hosting. Anyway, don’t make the mistake that most people make and host your website with your web designer as the support is usually never good enough.

Now the dust has settled regarding Google’s stance on directories, what does the future hold for the sector?
In my own opinion the move made by Google was a master stroke for various reasons.

If a directory owner had the capital to list their site on 1,000’s of paid directories, their website was bound to rank well, regardless of the optimisation of the site, the amount of traffic the site delivered and the strength of the inner pages.

This is history now, Google have adjusted their platform so only genuine directories perform well. I have noticed Google now displays links based on quality not page rank. Google is now indexing more and more links from free directories even though they display little to no page ranking. This is fantastic news for the general public, however not so good for directory owners.

I believe in the future Google will continue to stamp down on paid directories as well as penalising sites who pay for links. So how can directories be of benefit if less and less people want to purchase links?

The answer to this is simple, people need to look away from the direct benefit and look towards in-direct benefit, I will try to explain. I own a free reciprocal link business services directory. I gain benefit in terms of my link building process is totally automated through the directory and content is added on a regular basis. By using this tactic as well as others I have transformed my business from being an average ranked business services website, to being one of the highest ranked in the UK.

All online businesses have to have a degree of flexibility, simply because the goal posts change on a regular basis. By being flexible and forward thinking it is possible to use a bad situation to your benefit. For sure people will continue to purchase links from directories, even when doing so will damage their sites ranking, but eventually the stream of customers will dry up. The majority of paid directories will have to change their business model if they want to be around in a few years time.

The popularity and ranking of your blog is directly correlated to the number of sites linking to it. In-bound links to your blog tell the search engines what they will find when visiting your site. This article discusses ten Web 2.0 social power linking tactics that will help you significantly increase traffic to your MLM blog.

Web 2 marketing tactics can easily create serious MLM blog traffic. This could be anything from a few hundred visitors to several thousand visitors. You must update your blog content consistently to generate repeat visitors.

Use social bookmarking sites by setting up bookmarks and submitting stories and articles. Do not spam.

The real impact of social power linking comes when you build a bigger asset base by having our content show up in far more places than just our sites alone.

Here are ten cutting edge tactics to profit with social power linking to increase MLM blog traffic.

1. Submit articles and posts to StumbleUpon.com Install a toolbar button when you sign up and you can “Like” or “Dislike” any site or page you want. You can mark up your pages, and also vote for other sites in your niche for research purposes.

2. Submit articles and posts to Digg. Digg is easy to use, and if your blog is on Wordpress, you can add a plug in so your readers can actually submit your articles to Digg.

3. PlugIM.com This Digg-style site will also help you get traffic. It takes less than a minute to submit your articles here.

4. IM News If you have marketing related content, make sure to submit to IM news often.

5. Develop lenses and other remote “satellite” pages with good, original keyword optimized content One key to social power linking lies in Squidoo lenses.

6. Make it easy for outside parties and social media sites to link to your content. Link baiting, track backs and always consistently posting useful and original content will draw readers. If you have a Wordpress Blog, use the Tagalize It plug in to create Technorati and IceRocket links.

7. Make bookmarking or social tagging easy. Put a “delicious this” text link at the bottom of a post, and a Digg button at the top of the article.

8.Start participating in social power linking right away. Start blogging on your own. Visit leading forums and join the discussion.

9. Users to your site that contribute noticeably to the site’s content and audience should be recognized and rewarded. You will keep these valuable community members on your site, and you gain visible advocates of your site to outside members.

10. Reward inbound site links. The more inbound links your blog and site generate, the better. Create a permalink to use and cite them on your blog This simple act of acknowledgment will generate much good will and links.

Social power linking is a relatively new and yet powerful way to quickly generate inbound links and traffic to your MLM blog. Follow these essential tactics and you will see a gig increase in traffic leading to more enrollments in your business.
