The cheapest way to get backlinks for your website


Free seo for backlinks to your site.

This tutorial assumes that you have some working knowledge of website construction, ftp and basic seo techniques. 
Firstly, if you have done your keyword research properly and built your website around them, well then you have made a very good start. I personally use Keyword Blaze to do most of the job, it’s free and it’s smart and allows unlimited projects…there is a limit to the searchs allowed each day, but 50 search queries will be enough for most webmasters I reckon. Download it here:
Keyword Blaze
You will also need Adobe Air to run it which is available from the same link, but that is also free and runs on windows and linux for those geeks out there.
Of course, you can still use Google Keyword Tool, probably the best known keyword research tool 100% free, and most of the paid tools draw their information from Google anyway, so if you don’t have a Google account (and you don’t have to have one, it just means your search queries are more limited unless you are signed in) you should get one even if you only use it for keyword research. Have a look at it here:
Google Keyword Tool
If you want to buy the greatest keyword research tool out there then I strongly recommend
Keyword Scout.
Secondly, if you have optimised content to accommodate these keywords then that is better still. The optimised content will give more power to your backlinks and give you better search engine rankings if the keywords in your pages and your anchor text in the backlinks match up.

The cheapest backlinks for your website

There are a few free seo tools to help you optimise your pages, I personally like Website Auditor, one of the free SeoPowerSuite tools which you can get here:
The free version will give you some recommendations for optimising your content and correcting any seo errors. The full version will allow you to save a project, the free version saves nothing and only allows you to work on one project. The developers will send you special offers from time to time trying to tempt you to buy the full pro or enterprise version. Also it is good to know that the suite runs on any platform that can use java.

Finished optimising your pages?

There are a few free tools that are indispensable for seo. Firstly, in order to get your pages indexed, you must get ‘seo fast indexer’, it is a free part of Seo Link Robot and available to download here:
Fast Indexer Pro V2
That gets your pages into the search engines to begin with, it might take a couple of days or a few hours.
Once you have finished your onpage optimisation and indexing you can start to plan a backlinking campaign.
You will want a variety of links coming from sources such as blog commentsarticles, social bookmarksand directories. Most of these can be acquired free providing you have time to work on the project and write a few articles, do a lot of research etc.
Firstly, assuming that you have already got some quality original content on your website, you can start doing some serious backlinking
Your content can be syndicated to a number of places. You can take a paragraph or two of each page and change them a little before posting them on Web 2.0 sites such as WordPress.com or Tumblr or Blogger.
You will have to register with all these sites and do the work manually which is time consuming but worth the effort if you include three backlinks in each post on each site, all with your optimised keyword anchor text for best effect.
You can submit your website and all its pages to directories by using this free directory submitter which you can download here:
Fast Directory Submitter
Now how about using other resources? If you don’t already have a Google account then get one. It is essential to submit your website sitemap to search engines anyway and because Google gets the vast proportion of all free organic search traffic, you should submit your sitemap here:
Google Webmaster Tools   The easiest way of getting your sitemap (if you don’t have a WordPress installation) is to go and get one here:
Free Sitemap Generator  Once you have your generated sitemap.xml, you will need to upload it to the root of your website using ftp.
Google also offer free backlinks from your account profile, complete with anchor text. That is extremely powerful because Google is the most powerful site on the web…according to Google methods of calculating that!
Next do the same on Youtube, you will not need to upload video but you could if you wanted. Again set up backlinks in the profile and then comment on other videos and channels to get Google page-rank for your profile.
Now take your content once again and spin it. Yet another free tool that is brilliant is Spinner Chief. You can get it from the spinner chief site here:
Free Article Spinner
Paste your articles into the box and spin manually if you have the time (it’s far more acurrate) or use auto spin and then submit these new articles to directories like ezine or article go, there are many, but I invested in a special piece or software called Article Marketing Robot to do the work quicker and more efficiently while I get on with other stuff. There are free submitters available but they are not worth trying, you may as well do it all manually.
So next you can go and drop a few links at Social Monkee. Get it here:

These are all free social bookmarks and you can get them by clicking the link. Simply think of a few words to describe your webpage, some keywords and then give them a spin and away you go. 25 free backlinks every single day.
Now you can get Traffic Launch Pad and backlink all your pages and all your backlinks just by filling in three boxes and hitting start.

Blog comments for traffic and ranking

I use several really great tools to help me with my link building, but the most often used software is always that associated with commenting on blogs. You most likely already know that all blogs have the possibility of enabling comments so that readers can leave on-topic and useful additions to the article. Unfortunately it has largely been associated with spammers who auto-post by the million to unprotected blogs, so these days it is hard to find quality blogs that are not ‘nofollow’.
But, by using the following tools, you can find really high quality pages to comment on, and even if there is a  nofollow tag used, you can still get benefits and traffic.
Try using the free version of Fast Blog Finder or Comment Hut or Comment Kahuna and you will find with these free seo tools that there are several different ways to find good sources for comment backlinks.
Another and perhaps the most important and powerful piece of weaponry in my arsenal…Scrapebox. It must be purchased, there is no free version, but I have a discounted page for Scrapebox that lets you buy it for $57 instead of $197.
Here it is:
If you decide to buy it, and who would blame you, you will also need 10 private proxies to use it without being banned or blocked by Google. I use cheap proxies that are shared, not exclusive, but they work fine the majority of the time and cost me $9 dollars per month. You can get them here:
Cheap shared proxies
This tool (Scrapebox) is incredible. It has gained a bad reputation over the years for being a spammers delight because it can post thousands of comments and trackbacks per day on autopilot. It can do that…and in the wrong hands it can be a dangerous tool because you will end up getting backlinks pointing right at your site from porno sites, gambling sites etc. Not a good idea.
Instead, use it the right way like I do. Take your niche keywords, find some footprints or download mine from here:
Scrapebox footprints –
Now save the list of scraped urls to a text file and then use the buttons on the right to filter the results. For example, get rid of duplicate urls. (not duplicate domains), get rid of urls containing /category/ or /tag/ in the url, and also .pdf and .doc and .txt
This will leave you with a master list of pages, most of which have the opportunity for a backlink, and if you make a mistake in the filtering process, just reload the saved txt file you saved and start again.
Before you start to post any comments, you need to check the pagerank of the URL, again the button on the right, not the domain pagerank, the URL.
Now you have a list of urls with their respective page rank. Sort them using the PR button on the top right of the results box and then you can cherrypick the high PR urls and comment manually and carefully for maximum acceptance and approval rates.
You should copy and save the urls of all your comments, social bookmarks, articles and web 2.0 posts so that you can fire up Traffic Launch Pad and Fast Indexer Pro again to get those links indexed.
Another very useful piece of free software is Traffic Travis V4. There is a free version, get it here:
Traffic Travis free and you can buy the Traffic Travis V4.1 Pro version for $97 if you want.
Lastly but not lastly, is the need to check up on your work and see how your website stacks up against the competition. There is a tool included in the Seo Powersuite that allows for checking your search engine ranking for the keywords you have selected. It is called Rank Tracker and again, the free version allows you check any site you want, but only one at a time and you can’t save the results, but you will get valuable info.
The final piece of the jigsaw is Google Analytics. You can use this by submitting your site to GA and then copying and pasting a piece of code into the header of every page you want tracked, or in WordPress and other CMS’s, install the tracking code in the template just once. You will then get accurate traffic information to assess the performance of your website in terms of quantity of visitors, keywords used to arrive, where they originate from and much much more.
Happy seoing.

Start Working from Home on the Internet

If you’re one of the millions that lost your job and have found it nearly impossible to find another job that pays a fraction of what you were once making, it’s understandable to be angry and depressed. Heck, I was their once myself. So, allow me to suggest that instead of sitting home collecting unemployment benefits and hoping something will change, do what I did for the first time over 10 Years ago. Create your own job!
I will bet that right now you have no idea that this economic downturn could really represent a fortunate turn of events for you. The fact is losing a job and realizing we might have no other options is sometimes the very thing that must happen for us to “see” beyond what is and recognize the world of possibility that are available to us. This can only happen if you’re willing to open your eyes to what might be instead of focusing on what once was. One of those possibilities is to work from home on the Internet.
That being said, here are just 5 ways to work from home on the Internet that you might want to consider:
  1. One of the biggest explosions in Internet business over the past several years had to do with the advent of freelance writing. Every website needs copy. If you can write and love to put together a story or report this job could be for you.
  2. The other opportunity that has arisen due to the proliferation of Internet employment is administrative support. Instead of employers looking to have someone come into the office to do the work, they are employing people on the web.
  3. It is no surprise that another opportunity to work on the web is in the area of web design and development. If you have graphic design skills and can create attractive logo’s or web sites then you can generate a good income online.
  4. The area of multimedia has also been affected by the explosion of jobs on the Internet. Digital media has created a high demand for multimedia experts and that’s created a field of opportunity that is quite large.
  5. Another field that has taken off on the Internet is sales and marketing. If you know you are a salesman at heart and you can market with the best of them then you can make a fortune on the web.
Now, this short list only represents a handful of niche opportunities that you could use to begin generating income working from home on the Internet. I’ve really just laid this out in an effort to get you thinking “outside the box”. The reality is, there are tens of thousands of unique opportunities you could explore that can be developed into a successful business online. Each one only requires that you to have the vision to see the opportunity and the energy to begin the process of developing your own personal business model that could allow you to monetize these opportunities that already exist.
Thinking about it. Pondering the risks. Over analyzing. These are things that lead to procrastination, and that typically leads to doing nothing. In anything, there is always a reason to “not take that risk”, but anything worth doing requires commitment, drive and most of all, getting started.
If you’re not working now, don’t over think it, you really need to begin the process of moving forward with doing something positive that can lead to better things. As a successful entrepreneur, let me tell you that to become a successful entrepreneur requires we create our own opportunity and that requires action on our part. Why?
It’s pretty simple and it’s is no different than what I tell my kids – Opportunity is not something someone gives, opportunity is something we create for ourselves by doing the things that put us in the right position to take advantage of the opportunities that arise through our own actions.
This simply means, no one is going to walk up to you on the street and say “I am going to give you a million dollars”. You’ve got to take positive actions that will put your and your business in a position to meet that person that’s going to offer you that million dollars.
Sitting home doing nothing and collecting government checks doesn’t cut it. If that’s the path your on, you’ll never achieve anything and worse, you will trap yourself into believing you can’t do something you could have.
When you’re working from home on the Internet, or anything else for that matter, no one is saying you’re going to get it right the first time. I can’t count the number of times I have failed and had to start over. Big Deal. If you find you’ve messed up, you can always change direction. However, if you never get started for fear of making the wrong choice, you very well may find yourself in the same place you’re in at this very moment. Dreaming instead of doing…
Do you have any suggestions? Thoughts on the Topic or Feedback? Just leave a comment! I’d love to have you share what you’re thinking!

Can Social Monkee Drive Traffic to Your Website


Social Monkee is your source for free social bookmarks and you can get them by clicking the link. Just think of a few good words to describe your webpage, some keywords and then give them a spin and away you go. 25 free backlinks every single day.

Social bookmarks from Social Monkee can drive traffic to your website.

Social Monkee, or social monkey as it is often mistakenly called, is approaching a new release that promises to make things easier and better for all users. But this is what you can do with Social Monkee for your websites and your other pages that you create where-ever they are, like Hubpages and Squidoo lenses.
UPDATE:
Currently you can have a free account that allows you to submit 1 url per day The latest incarnation of Social Monkee is even better but costs a one time fee of 7$, and then you can submit 1 url per day with spun titles to get 25 bookmarks absolutely free. …well…almost free then. I also wrote a short piece on Social Monkee here.
This is very useful to a small website owner in a niche that does not need masses of backlinks. Unfortunately, you can only submit each url one time, so if you have a website with 10 pages, in 10 days social monkee has outlived its usefulness. UPDATE: You can now resubmit your urls every 6 weeks, how’s that for an improvement?
However, with the current Social Monkee free account you can also submit any amount of other urls too. This means if you have Hubpages, Squidoo lenses and accounts in social networks, you can also submit each of those also and get 25 backlinks per url, so consequently there is another useful thing you can do.
If you are a careful webmaster and keep a note of all the places where you have got backlinks from, ie: blog pages, bookmarks, blog comments and forum comments etc…you can also submit all of those urls too. One per day only, but each of those backlinks can have their own backlinks to juice them up a bit, make them a little more powerful and drive more traffic through the links.



So as you can hopefully see, there are four boxes that need to be filled in. The first one is simply the target url of your website or your hubpage, blog page or backlink.
The next box invites you to enter a title. This involves the spinning process to allow the submitter to submit several unique titles in Social Monkee for your backlink as anchor text, all of them can have a variation of your keyword in them. This looks much more natural than a load of new links popping up all with the same anchor text.
Then you write and spin a description. The spinning can be done manually but it is easier to use specially developed software to so it properly, but still manually to avoid silly spammy nonsense you get from auto spinning. I always use The Best Spinner or you could use Spin Rewriters if you prefer. They are both completely free and are available if you click on the links in blue, where you will see my review of both apps.
If you spin using notepad it will take far longer but it goes like this. {title1|title2|title3}
The text is enclosed in curly brackets and the titles are separated by the pipe symbol. The software automatically rewrites every submission using a random version of your title. The same applies to your description.
Well, basically that’s about it, apart from adding a few tags in the final box, 25 free, or almost free, backlinks every single day. Now what’s stopping you from heading over to Social Monkee and giving it a whirl?

How to Get High Quality Leads on Facebook



Facebook is one of the top websites on the internet.
According to Alexa.com, Facebook is the #2 website in the world.
As of last year, it actually had over 1 Billion users worldwide!
That’s a billion people who are using the internet and could be potential team members if you’re willing to reach out to them.
To find people looking for what you have, you need to hang out where they hang out.
Facebook is the easiest way to get leads for free in my opinion,
but it does takes some work and being consistent just like anything else.
If you’re not using this strategy, and you’re complaining that you can’t get leads because you have no money….all that is, is an excuse.
To me, that means you aren’t serious about building this business.
Put the excuses behind you.  Don’t let your past affect your future.
The main thing for me to tell you is this: don’t sell the opportunity, sell the blog.
Some people will be looking to work from home, so that’s cool if you want to sign them up.
But there is a bigger market for people who need a blog.
What business person doesn’t see the potential in finding clients online?
If they get in and start using the blog, Dave and Dave will do the selling and a lot of them will become affiliates once they see the power in 100% commissions
If you’re not earning 100% of the money you make,
you’re getting cheated.  You’re making someone else rich.
I remember a time about 8 months ago, when I was first hearing about 100% commissions.
I kept having this guy on Facebook ask me everyday, “So, are you earning 100%?”
Lol.  It cracks me up, I actually got a little annoyed after awhile.
But then I started thinking about what I was doing.
I was in an MLM company that paid you $30 for every $300 sale you got.
I was promoting affiliate programs that paid me tops 30% for every sale.
I was working my ASS off trying to make money.
I was signing people up, but then that measly check came in…
…and it just didn’t cut it for me.
I was skeptical about the Empower Network though.
I bought Dave Wood’s Perpetual Funnel System for $500 before Empower Network even started.
I got to get inside the mind of Dave Wood, and he taught me how to get other people to promote your stuff for you.
Start a system, pay people part of the money from the sales they get…
…and all of a sudden your system is everywhere because all these affiliate marketers are promoting it.
“Viral sustainability” he called it.  It was a new concept to me…but I knew that’s how he had build such a name for himself in the industry.
When I first heard about Empower Network, I said, “That’s Dave Wood’s brand.”
“He’s not gonna trick me into promoting all his stuff for him.”
Since I was seeing EN everywhere….I started hopping on EN webinars, trying to steal Dave’s secrets…trying to understand what the hell empower network really was.
As I continued to go to the webinars, and started seeing all the people in the company who were having success…I started to wonder what Dave’s intentions really were.
As I got around him, and started really listening to what he was saying…
I realized how stupid I was being.  That I was promoting stuff making someone else rich, the same was I was when I was cooking at a restaurant.
That he really cared about people.  That this company is truly about Empowering people.
It wasn’t about making Dave Wood money, he already had all the money he ever needed.
It was about putting the power back into the hands of the people.
It was about lifting people up….and helping them make the income that they always dreamed of.
I realized so many people in this industry were preaching the dream, and living the nightmare.
I realized it takes a ridiculous amount of production to make $5000/month with any other company in this industry….
….and that so many people here in Empower network are making over $30,000/month with 1/100th of the production.
It doesn’t take a team of 10,000 people to make $30K/month here…
Just get all in, get 2 sales a day of the $25 blog, do it for 90 days, and you’ll be making at least $30,000 a month or more.  If you do those things are aren’t making $30K/month, Dave Wood will fly you down to his house for personal coaching.
That’s never actually happened.  Because it’s a proven formula.
What I had been promoting the last 2 years…..was modern day slavery.
To “grind it out for 5 years, and you’ll get the golden watch at the end of the tunnel.”
Then 5 years down the road you stop and look around….
….still not making the money you wanted.
That I was teaching people they could live on the beaches of the world, but I wasn’t even able to do that myself.
I wasn’t making the money that I wanted, and it hurt really bad to know that neither was anyone else on my team.
I got to the point where I didn’t want to sponsor people because I didn’t truly believe what I had could help them live their dreams.
One day I decided to make a change.
I was sitting there on a Empower network webinar, with a buy now button staring back at me.
I didn’t want to push it, but I knew that I had no other choice.
I felt something deep down inside me that told me to take action.
That told me to put it all on the line….to not let my past determine my future.
To take action, to make a difference, and to make the money that I had always dreamed of.
To take care of my family, and help those in need.
To help my team get into something they actually believed in..
…that actually produced the results when you put in the work.
I decided that day to get in, take massive action, and stop settling for anything less than what I deserved.
That day, I got in Empower Network and my life changed.
My mindset changed.
My income changed.
If you’re ready to make the same decision I did, watch this video all the way through.
If you’re too anxious to watch the video, just buy this.  It’s only $25.
Don’t be a wussy.  Lock arms and fight the forces of evil with us.
Break free from the chains of modern day slavery.
Keep ALL the money when you make sales, on any product.
Look forward to having you on the team!
To Your Success,

3 Steps to Generating 74 MLM Leads Per Day Using Craigslist


If you have never generated a lead before in your life, well that’s all about to change after reading this. What you are about to learn is so easy. Using this popular website that you have heard of or used I have been able to get as high as 74 MLM leads in a single day with no previous experience or super powers.
I love this strategy because literally anyone can do it (even my 11 year old Daughter)! In network marketing there are tons of different things that work to recruit and generate MLM leads with. However, you gotta ask yourself, “is what I’m doing duplicatable? Can my team do what I am doing?” It’s not what works it’s what duplicates over and over and over and craigslist marketing is so easy a caveman can do it. If what you’re doing now won’t work 50 levels down from you, well you might want to reevaluate what you’re doing. You need to be duplicatable if you want the long term income, period.

Why Craigslist Marketing for MLM Leads?

Craigslist is one of the highest trafficked websites in the world and its full of people looking for opportunity. Craigslist.org is a website used to advertise things you are selling, events, jobs, oddball things, and pretty much whatever you can think of. We are keeping it very simple today, no crazy image ads, or sending them to a website.YOU DO NOT NEED A WEBSITE OR INTERNET MARKETING SKILLS TO DO THIS.

What Do You Physically Do To Get Craigslist Leads in The Next 24 hours?


Step 1 Set up a free google voice account so all of your leads are not going to your cell phone while you’re busy doing other things. You want your leads going into google voice because its an easy an simple way to manage your leads and you don’t have to answer the phone every time they call.
Step 2 Set up your voice mail that says, “Hello There, thank you for calling the office of XXXXXXX. If you are calling this number its most likely from the ads on craigslist. We are currently receiving high volume of calls. Please leave your name, number, and what separates you from all the other people calling this ad and you will be contacted within 48 hours. “
Step 3 Post Your Ad
  • Craigslist.org
  • Go to your State and City
  • Go sales jobs
  • Post Your Add (be sure to click submit at the very bottom of each page)
  • Confirm your add in your email account- this makes your ad go Live so others can see it on craigslist
  • You Must Call your Leads in your Google Voice account
You do not have to register a craigslist account to post ads. Realize that some of your ads will get flagged, deleted, and your email address could be blocked from craigslist. When this happens just understand that it is part of the game, not a big deal, and that you can make another email address and do the same exact thing. I find that my magic number for posting ads is 5-10 every 1-2 days. However, you really want to posting in the area you live in. Its powerful when you can bring your craigslist lead to a local meeting in your area.
Sample Ad
Title Line – Promoters Wanted
$750-$1500 per month part time
No Experience Required, Will Train
Call 239-xxx-xxxx (this is your google voice number)
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN ADS ALSO- Test and Track

What about the Lead Quality of Craigslist MLM Leads?

The quality of craigslist MLM leads are pretty mixed but overall I’m very happy  with them. I’ve spoken with the VP of a fortune 500 company, bankers, marketing CEO, salesmen with 20 years experience with teams under them, but I have also spoken to people who don’t have any professional experience, who are on welfare, who are in foreclosure, who are absolutely crying out for opportunity to slap em in the face so they can pull themselves out with your help.  That’s whats beautiful about network marketing is that regardless of who you are or where you may have come from the opportunity is exactly the same for everyone, so truly anyone can be successful in this industry and create the life of your dreams.

Posturing Yourself on the Phone with the Craigslist Leads

It comes down to your posture. Before I jump on the phone I take a deep breath and focus before each call, pump myself up a little and dial.  When I am on the phone I am a bada$$ entrepreneur who is very very busy and looking for some quality people to enter into my company and help me build.
My attitude is I don’t have time for tire kickers cause you will have tons of other leads waiting for your call. You don’t NEED anyone to join your businessthey need you and that’s how you keep your power. After all you are building a multimillion dollar business so you better treat it like one. You are the one who holds the power, your business is essentially a treasure chest that only you have the key to, but for those who qualify themselves to you, you can let them look at the gold and silver inside and if they want some of that treasure then they are going to have lock arms with you and join your business.
Ray taught me to posture myself on the phone and be confident. Since I have done that my recruiting has gone up, I feel better as a person, and my phone calls are a lot of fun because I have full control.

Local Mojo and Craigslist Marketing

The other thing in combination with posture that will take this entire strategy to another level is to invite your leads to your local meeting. Imagine how your business looks when you show up with 5-10 prospects when everyone else has 1 or 2. This is why I say stay local. I believe live meetings/events are better for recruiting then an online video, the online presentations are very very good and I use them every day for people that are not in my area. Pretty simple, hmm I wonder if my team can do this?
Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day. You have the ability to do this and there are people out there that need your help.  Someone needs to hear your story, it can potentially change someone’s life! Realize that you have greatness inside of you and by doing this business and helping so many people accomplish their dreams you unleash that greatness.  Take action and make it happen.
