Dear Visitor,

Do you or someone you know own a web site? Does that web site need help in the search engines? Well, I have decided to choose one lucky person or company to receive a complete search engine optimization campaign from me! Yes, I am willing to completely optimize your current web site to help you rank higher in the search engines. The way it works is you need to sign up for my newsletter below and by June of 2008 I will randomly choose one subscriber from the newsletter list and give them a complete SEO campaign generating top positions in the major search engines. Now, in order to participate your web site can NOT contain any adult content, illegal products or services, and must be online for a period of 1 year already. Your site also must not come up on the first page for any keyterms related to your industry or products. So, please take a moment to add your e-mail address to my newsletter below. Once added you will be entered into the contest. You must also agree to receive periodic e-mails from me. This offer is only valid for the campaign itself and can not be traded for cash or anything else, the only web site that will be optimized is the one you submitted during sign up. You may not trade or give the winning campaign to anyone. If for any reason you do not want/need2 the campaign, you must forfeit your winning and we will randomly select a different winner.

So, please add your information below:

Sign up for the Email Newsletter

Link building refers to the process of obtaining inbound links from other websites by placing your own link (i.e., your website’s address) with them, with the intention of enhancing the popularity and the search engine page ranking of your own website. Link building can be performed in several ways – submitting links to directories and search engines, exchanging links, joining a webring, submitting articles to reprint directories with a resource box at the bottom that points back at your website, posting messages on bulletin boards with your website’s address included in the signature, etc.  

The result is an instant booster for the website to which the links point to, in terms of increased traffic, higher search engine ranking, a higher Google PR (PageRank), along with many more benefits. Link building is one of the best methods that can catapult your website into a league of its own, and if you haven’t attempted to build link popularity so far, you must start now, and here’s why:

1.         Search engines measure links pointing to a website as a measure of its popularity, provided the links are coming from websites with legitimate content. In fact, Google has instituted a system, Google PR, where it considers each link pointing to a website as a vote in its favor – the higher the number of legitimate links pointing a website, the higher its Google PR. Of course, other search engines too measure links and if a website has a large number of quality links, it moves up on the search engine ranking ladder.

2.         As a website gets linked by other websites, its traffic increases automatically. It also tells a visitor that the website that is carrying your link trusts and appreciates your website’s content.

3.         Links are just like word-of-mouth advertising. Well, advertising is advertising, and when your website’s link is placed on other websites, it translates into free advertisement! Even if you have paid a small one-time fee for the link, it will stay there perpetually or for a very long period, justifying your cost in the long term.

4.         Then there are the all important financial advantages: When your website gets a whole lot of quality links, you get more traffic accumulation, which leads to more clicks on the advertisements you have placed on your website, which in turn makes more money for you. Also, when your PR goes up, so does your bargaining power – so, if you are selling ad space, you will be easily able to command a higher premium and sell ads on your own terms. Oh yes, links sure pack your bank account with more power!

5.         Links automatically increase the trustworthiness of your website. When surfers see your links on many different websites, they begin thinking that there must be something special about your website that is making all these other websites link back to you. Plus, links signify that you have entered into a partnership with the website that’s linking back to you and that sort of increases your reputation.

6.         Finally, links pointing to a website are assets. They increase the intrinsic value of your website, and just in case if you find a buyer for your website, you might even get a stupendous offer from him if your website has a whole lot of links. 

This is how link building goes on to improve the performance, revenue and the value of a website, which is why it is fast catching up an one of the most important SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques. Having said that, it needs to be mentioned that all links that point to your website must come from quality sources. If your website is linked to by bogus websites or by link farms that do not carry any meaningful content, the search engines will blacklist your website. So, be careful on how you go about building your links.

Here’s one nifty tip – There’s this website called inboundlinks.org, where you can submit your website link for free. Well, inboundlinks.org is fast catching up and very soon it will become a two-in-one website – it will accept both articles and links. So, when you are dealing with inboundlinks.org, you are dealing both with an article directory as well as a link-building website. It’s a win-win situation.

So, if you have a website and have not yet attempted link building, what are you waiting for! Go right ahead and build links all over the web and increase your website’s value, Google PR and search engine ranking, and see more traffic and more money! Good luck!

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to give you a quick update on my search engine marketing book Sem Gorilla. As many of you know I have been working hard on the book and since completion I have handed it off to be proofed and edited. This is taking a bit longer than expected however, once completed everyone will be much happier!

I spent a great deal of time on the book and hope to help many small business owners with their search engine marketing efforts. It seems Search Engine Marketing is becoming more and more in demand and as it does prices continue to rise to hire a true search engine marketing specialist. So, if you are up to learning the field than I suggest that you grab a copy when it becomes available.

I expect to have the finished copy back within the next 2 weeks if all goes well. Once I receive that, all of the people on the mailing list who wish to purchase the book will have a chance to buy it before the rest of the world and receive a 20% discount. Sem Gorilla will be available in two formats, the formats are the Digital E-Book version and the Printed Version.

If you have not signed up to receive the discount when the book is available please do so by visiting http://www.semgorilla.com

My hopes is to have the book available to the general public within the next 30-45 days.

Talk to you later

Randy
