Link Building, Here I Come

Link building is a serious job. It really is boring and tedious. In fact it is quite hateful job for many people. But unfortunately or fortunately it is an absolutely essential part of SEO. You can only ignore it at your own peril.

Maybe if you are a well known personality then you don't have to build links to attract attention to your site or product. Your fans and other people will do it for you. You can just open up a web site, let a few people know about it and they will do the remaining work of spreading the word.

Now, how can you love this crazy, boring, hateful job of link building?

First let me point out that there are many methods of building links. A few common ones are:

• Article marketing
• Social bookmarking
• Blog commenting
• Directory submission
• Video Submissions
• RSS submission
• Press releases

I have just named a few. This article is not about link building methods. It is about enjoying the process. So I won't go in depth.

From the above list, you may realize that all of these methods are very time consuming and tedious. All of them may be effective ways to build hundreds of links - if only we could get ourselves to do them regularly.




Now I will show you the easy way to love link building and get the job done everyday. This article is becoming too long already. Click here to read the strategy - Get Backlinks and Love Doing It

How to Build Links to Your Site Even if You Hate the Job

I have found an excellent post about building backlinks and doing SEO. Even though the post is about getting your Squidoo lens ranked highly in Google, but the same advice and principles can apply to anything.

The post does not give any new or unique ideas on link building. But it provides advice for you if you hate the task of building links. The post is more about getting the link building work done than about different methods to get backlinks. It is about enjoying the link building work and getting it finished, even though you may hate it currently and may be putting it off a lot of times.

Most people will agree that link building is a tedious and boring work. For that reason, I avoid or put it off many times. The author of this blog post also faced a similar problem, and provides helpful tips to overcome this issue and carry on the tasks that are needed to be done.

This blog post gives suggestions on what to do and how to get links built even if you don't like the process. There are actually many ways to build links. If you think deeply, you might find one or two ways which are at least tolerable for you.

Maybe you had a lot of success in the past with any one or more methods of link building. If you focus on those ways to build links, and repeat the same process whenever you have to get backlinks, the task will become easier for you. You will at least get the link building work done more times than currently.

Here is the post: Getting Your Lens on First Page of Google

There may be some tasks which are so tedious that they make you feel miserable. You are unlikely to succeed much if you try to force yourself to perform these tasks on regular basis. As a result, much of your time is wasted in forcing yourself and you probably won't get much work done anyway.

So the author advises to avoid such methods which cause you immense discomfort or boredom. Instead, focus on easier and happier ways to get backlinks. Repeat those tasks again and again each time you want more backlinks.

Let me talk with examples.

Building link wheels (or link pyramids), article submissions, press releases are some of my preferred methods of link building. I experienced decent amount of success in the past with these methods. It may not be that I gain a lot of pleasure doing these tasks, but at least they are tolerable and doable for me. And I have memories of past success while employing these methods. So now I can focus on these more than the other methods.

On the other hand I am not too fond of social bookmarking, software submissions, RSS submissions etc. These methods might work very well for others, but I find it too boring to do these.

So I will not focus much on these, only do them occasionally. This is what I like best about this advice - the author did not give a common advice for all. Instead, she said to find out what methods you enjoy and focus on those. So each person will do those link building tasks which are dearer than others to him/her.

This is in contrast to the advice given by most people (gurus included) that you need to focus on such and such link building method to achieve maximum results. Even though a particular method might be the most effective, but if we don't enjoy it then we are not going to do it frequently.
 
So we probably won't get such good results with it as we don't use it frequently enough. So people should modify their link building strategies to suit their own tastes and preferences. You may get much better results this way.

I liked the advice and can't think of any reason why this advice shouldn't be effective and good for people like me who don't enjoy link building process much. Many times I sit in front of my computer with the firm intention of doing link building work. But I get distracted easily and end up doing something else or wasting away my time by mindless browsing.

This advice should really help out in such cases. At least it will make me think about and focus on those few ways of getting backlinks which I enjoy or at least don't find so intolerable. What do you think?

Building Links to Articles

Image via Wikipedia

Article marketers love ezinearticles website. Part of it is due to the fact that we can get very easy rankings for long tail keywords by submitting articles here.

Earlier people didn't build links to articles. They used articles to build links to their own sites but didn't build any links to these articles. Later on they realized that building links to the articles would help in these articles getting ranked higher for the targeted keywords. Also, the page rank of the article page will increase and it will pass more link juice to our own websites.

However, if you noticed, goarticles and articledashboard respond better to link building than ezinearticles. You submit articles to these 3 sites and then build a few links to each article. You may notice a very rapid increase in rankings for goarticles or articlebase sites. However, ezinearticles may not have responded so favorably or quickly to the link building.

What could be the reason for this? Why does Google prefer goarticles or articlebase over ezinearticles even though the quality of articles here is probably much better?

Internet Marketing Gurus are Misleading Innocent People

Many newbie internet marketers begin internet marketing with an illusion. They think that this is a very easy way to earn lots of money quickly. However this is not the truth.

It requires a lot of hard work, patience and it takes time before you see substantial results. Many so called gurus have been responsible for creating this illusion for innocent people. They have led the people to believe that you can start a website and within weeks start getting tons of traffic and sales.

People are not told frankly how much hard work is involved. In a lot of cases, you need to spend money as well. However they will tell you that you don't need to invest money in internet marketing. Tell me one business which does not require substantial investment? Internet marketing is also a kind of business.

There are many people who failed at internet marketing and gave up. Actually they began with false expectations and got disappointed easily because they did not get the results they were expecting. If they had begun with proper expectation, atleast a few of them would have probably worked hard and might have tasted some kind of success.

As for the rest, it wouldn't have still mattered to them. Even if they knew beforehand that it takes a lot of hard work, they would have still done little and expected much. The gurus of internet marketing have not caused much damage to such people. Those people who would have had sensible expectations, had not the gurus fed them impossible dreams, are the real losers.

Even if the gurus point out such strategies in their products which have worked for many, they would present it in such a manner that it would look too easy even for beginners. The fact of the matter is, there is a big learning curve for anything you do. Internet marketing is no different in this aspect.

So, here is my advice to anyone who would care to listen - take the advice of the gurus with a pinch of salt. Don't have too high expectations. And be prepared to work hard.

Why Do Struggling Newbie Marketers Keep Buying Products After Products

Many people who are struggling to make money online keep buying product after product related to web marketing. What is the reason behind this behavior?

When they are not making any money, they should spend most of their time trying as hard as they can to earn money. But instead of doing so, they just spend their time and money on buying the latest IM products and studying them.

The funny thing is that after spending so much money on buying the products, they don't even implement the strategies or methods mentioned in those products. They are already short of cash and are still wasting away their limited resources.

I have been guilty of this for too long a time:
I too have been guilty of this behavior on numerous occasions. I would buy and download the latest ebook or video, teaching the latest secret to quick rankings in Google or about how to earn thousand dollars in a month etc.

I spent a lot of time reading these stuff, but didn't spend as much time implementing the stuff. It became a kind of addiction with me to keep buying new things at regular intervals (every few days or so).

What was the reason I was behaving in such a manner?
I used to think that people do this because they are disappointed with a product after its purchase, as the methods outlined in it require hard work. I thought people are generally looking for a quick fix solution to start earning lots of money very quickly, and for that reason they continue to buy new products in the hope that they will suddenly come across a secret technique which will bring guaranteed results they have been looking for.

But now I think this is not the primary reason why people indulge in such behavior. I suddenly realized the actual reason why people keep buying products after products without trying out the methods mentioned in the ones they have already purchased.

This realization came suddenly to me one day while I was busy with some other work. When I thought more about it, it made a lot more sense to me.

Here is the real reason why people do so:
The real reason why people do so is not because they are looking for a magical solution to earn lots of money very quickly. NO - I don't believe this is the real reason.

I don't think people are that stupid not to realize that earning lots and lots of money is not so easy, and it does take time. People do realize that, even though they may keep buying product after product which promises instant riches.

After a few days and after buying a few products, many would come to realize that making money does indeed take time and hard work.

But the real reason why they foolishly continue to buy the next product is because of the human tendency for laziness.

YES - it is laziness which drives such behavior. Let me explain more clearly what I mean.....

When you buy a product and you like the techniques mentioned therein and think it is worth a try, what do you do?

I guess that most newbies would get pretty excited and will be very very eager to try out these techniques. But in many cases they will procrastinate and postpone starting the project they intended.

Later on when they again sit in front of their computers, they now have 2 options - either start working on the project which they had postponed, or completely forget about it for the time being and do something else.

The Human Nature:
Now, human nature is such that we usually opt for the easier thing when we are presented with multiple options. Even if the easier option is not the best one in the present circumstances, we usually go for it if we lack the discipline to control ourselves.

This is precisely what happens with the newbie and struggling internet marketers. When they sit in front of their computers they have 2 options - work on the projects which they know hold promise, or wander aimlessly on the internet.

Most of the time, these newbies opt for the latter option because it is easier. Please note that they choose the second option because of laziness and not because they are hoping to find some lucky formula which can help earn them thousands of dollars.

Most of these people are smart to know that hard work, consistency and patience will pay them off in the long run. But they lack the discipline to do what it takes for making real cash online.

They are not idiots or dreamers hoping to stumble upon some secret techniques. They are just plain lazy and lack proper self-control.

I believe that these are the primary hurdles for the majority of struggling internet marketers. They have to fight off their laziness if they want to succeed in the online world.

If presented with 2 options - they have to choose the one which will be most beneficial for them, and not choose the one which is easier of the two.

If they choose the easier option - they will be unable to force themselves to write articles for hours on end, or research for content, or make useful videos, or do whatever is required to drive traffic or generate sales etc.

Buying another product is an easier option, while resisting the temptation and continuing with your work, is tough. But you have to make tough decisions in order to reach big heights and to achieve your goals.

This realization had a great impact on me:
When I realized why I was continually buying more and more products, instead of working on what I already learned, it had a tremendous impact on me.

It became easier for me to start working on my projects without wasting too much time with other things. Earlier I used to spend a lot of time on useless things on internet. I would sit in front of computer for many hours, but would not accomplish much during that time.

Much of my time would be wasted and only little of it was spent on really useful and productive things. Now the scenario has changed to a great deal.

Still there is lot of room for improvement in my behavior, but there has been a huge difference when compared with the past behavior.

Now I know why I behaved in that manner in the past - it was because I was always choosing an easier option rather than one which was most beneficial for me.

Now, I try to do the things that are required - even though they may be difficult, and even though easier options do exist.

So struggling internet marketers - stop going for easier options like browsing aimlessly, hanging out in forums, buying more and more products.

Instead of that, we need to spend most of our time on things that can get us results in the long run!
