How To Make Money Online with ClickBank Part 1:Cloaking

I have been a member of ClickBank since 2005 and although not a
Million Dollar Round Table of ClickBank, I have some very well verified
observations.

1. After signing up and getting your affiliate nickname, the first
thing you must do is to get some cloaking software to make it more difficult
for someone else to decide to use their own nickname when they come across a
ClickBank product they want to buy. There are many options,but when I
refer to cloaking I am not referring to merely a URL shortening website
such as TinyURL.com or dwarfURL.com.

The first website that cloaks affiliate links that I have used is
ShortURL.com where you have the option of creating your own sub-domain
which completely masks the Affiliate site. For instance, type in
http://christmasgifts.shorturl.com and see what comes out.
As you can see it had nothing to do with Christmas Gifts! This ability
will cost you a dollar a year;not bad for such a valuable tool, but
remember that is per URL.

The second website that I used that cloaks URLs was ViralURL.com
from which you can make money as an affiliate, but that is not easy.
If you do not become a Silver Member you have to agree to have
everyone who is a Gold Member or above be able to send you promotional
email as if you are on a safelist. So unless you want to spend $17 a
month just so you do not have to experience a deluge of email,
then either get a Gmail.com account for it or become a Platinum member
and email everyone else,but that too is a little steep at about $39.95
a month. Another problem with ViralURL.com is that Spybot Search and
Destroy has labelled it as viral url and not in the way it would like
to be known as in "viral marketing". If you use Spybot to do malware,
spyware testing and removal,then your browser will be updated to make
it unviewable.In my case, I use Mozilla Firefox mostly,so when I want
to access my ViralURL account I have to use Internet Explorer which
is quite inconvenient. You can join here:
ViralURL.com.

Third,HitsConnect is excellent,but you only get 10 Free
cloakers until which time you have to pay for 3 month Partner Upgrade
Special where you get
* 100 Tracker Accounts -
* 10 Rotator Accounts -
* 100 Banner Trackers -

* 40% Commissions on all upgrades
Regular Price Is $19.97/Month;But If Your Order From The Link Below
You Will Get a Full 3 months partner Upgrade For Only $39.95
You can join here:HitsConnect

Fourth,OffTo.net removes links to an affiliate program from the
vendor's landing page and raw & unique click tracking and the most recently
created links are shown on the home page. This gives other OffTo.net users
the opportunity to click YOUR link and see if they like what you're offering.
They also give visitors the ability to browse through older OffTo.net links,
giving you even more traffic potential.Also when you promote OffTo.net you
get free traffic, so join here:
OffTo.net For every unique visitor you send to OffTo.net, you are
guaranteed one unique visitor sent to you from OffTo.net. Your promolinks
will stay in rotation until you've used all of your credits. Not only that
but they also have a Forum!

2. The next most important thing is to subscribe to the
ClickBank newsletter so you know what the newest developments are at
ClickBank. This may seem trivial but its not. While you are there,
click on Marketplace and take a look at what are the most popular,
the $Earned/Sale,% Earned/Sale,Future $,Total $/Sale and % Referred
for all the Different categories you are interested in. You want to
create a mix of these programs in your advertising/promtional campaign
to be able to maximize your % referred,total sales and $Earned per sale.

3. Next,do not go to a major search engine and immediately
type in the program name. That's what everyone else does. Don't even
type in the name of the program and "exposed" or "review" because what
you are going to most probably get is a lot of cloaked promotional
websites. You you should do is to go to http://www.Scam.com and start
searching for problems with the program. These are people who have
already bought the program and have experienced problems. You do not
want to be associated with any program that scams anyone. If your
program is not found then you could check out http://www.complaints.com/
and Scam Reports and
Performance Reviews for any complaints. Then you are forwarned
and can go ahead with great confidence to promote with a good
conscience.

4. For the next step you will have to wait for the second article.

all over the world how to build highly profitable internet businesses
from the comfort of their homes. In fact,Strong Futures International
Marketing Group is so successful that OVER 8000 people join SFI every
week! As of June 14,2009,SFIMG's enrollments were 1553
(from 75 countries) with • Avg. enrollments per hour: 64 and
• Avg. time between enrollments: 55 seconds. June 2009 Month-to-date
enrollments are 17975.
Just so you know a little about how I have gotten so much
expertise in SFIMG,I would like to present my Power Rank Points that
attest to my knowledge and skill:
A. 3781 Total current Power Rank points

Now I am sure some people may dispute whether eBay or Amazon may have more
associates, but what they are not and do not have is a multi-level
marketing program.
If you like auctions and eBay, then SFIMG has
www.TripleClicks.com/WebSuccess.
That is my particular domain name that I have earned because I have
completed an extensive training course to attain my Power Rank Points.
If you think Amazon has more products than SFIMG,they probably do but
SFIMG has over 10,000 products alone with TripleClicks and now millions
of products now that http://www.MaxMalls.com has been integrated with it.
If you want to join for FREE and still make money RECRUIT people to TripleClicks
or use:

to earn extra cash. By simply referring prospects to the ClickBucks
Gateway, you can earn commissions without shipping,credit card, or
payment issues of any kind!"
If you live in North America or if you live anywhere and have
a car,automobile or truck,then you SPONSOR affiliates with the EyeEarn
program : EyeEarn.
What makes this so exciting is that you can join the EyeEarn Co-op
Advertising Program for as little as $20.

If you recruit someone to join as an Amazon or eBay affiliate,
you do not get a share of their earnings 10 levels deep. You also do not
get a percentage of the whole company's earnings like they do at SFIMG
and I quote "The SFI Compensation Plan has six lucrative components."

I'll tell you truthfully that you can stop shopping anywhere
else than here other an occasional trip to the grocery store or
your local mechanic. All you need to do to become a Executive Affiliate
is to substitute $30 of TripleClick products for products you already
buy at a local store. But what I personally love about SFIMG is
that I am an herbal/natural supplement junkie and I can buy everything
I want right here. If you care about your health and want to take
preventive measures to stay healthy,lose weight and always get
the necessary nutrition regardless of what you eat, this is the place
to shop. But I will reserve all of my specific health nutrition facts,

Gold Stocks in a Depression

Gold Stocks in a Depression

What if deflation wins?

While we think the odds are strongly stacked against it, particularly given the government’s furious pace of money printing, the prudent investor understands — and respects — the time-tested adage, “Nothing is guaranteed.” So while our chips sit squarely on the spot marked “inflation,” what will happen to gold stocks if we’re wrong?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Special~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Single Ignored Stock Made Us 279% This Year!

And that’s on top of the 61%, 47%, and 33% gains my readers already booked in 2009 thanks to my scientific CXS Money Multiplier. Want to get my next pick before Wall Street catches on? Click here to learn more!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Great Depression Speaks

The most notable example of what happens to gold stocks in a prolonged deflationary environment is the Great Depression. However, the United States was on a gold standard at the time, so miners had a guaranteed selling price — which was a good thing for them, because their operating costs were plummeting. So the comparability isn’t perfect, but let’s see what we can learn.

When the stock market crashed in 1929, gold stocks were part of the general wreckage (sound familiar?). The market then rallied and recovered almost 50% of its losses by April 1930, with gold shares again tagging along. It’s what happened next that gives us our first clue about deflation’s effect.

When the bear market resumed in the summer of 1930, all securities sold off again — except gold stocks. Gold shares stayed basically flat until early 1931, when they boarded the elevator and headed for the penthouse.

Let’s look at how shares of Homestake Mining, the largest gold miner in the U.S. at the time, and Dome Mines, Canada’s senior producer, performed during the Great Depression.

And the chart doesn’t show that you could have bought both stocks at half their 1929 price five years earlier, which would have led to gains of around 1,000%. And get this: both companies paid healthy and rising dividends as the depression wore on; Homestake’s dividend went from $7 to $15 per share, and Dome’s from $1 to $1.80.

Yes, volatility was high in the gold stocks throughout the depression, with occasional wild price swings, but after the 1929 crash most of the volatility was to the upside.

The bottom line is that the two largest gold producers — during a time of soup lines and falling standards of living — handed investors five and six times their money in four years.

From Homestake’s chart, you get a clear picture of what the stock did compared to the market as a whole:

You’ll notice the large spike down in both Homestake and the Dow during the 1929 crash...but then look at Homestake’s recovery immediately afterward, returning close to its old high. This is eerily similar to our recent pattern: our stocks sold off violently last October but have since doubled or more from their bottoms.

You’ll then notice that Homestake took almost two years to exceed its old high, but once it broke out, it was off to the races. The stock doubled four times in five years during a seven-year run to its peak after the ’29 crash.

The conclusion? If history is any guide, gold stocks can hold their own against deflation. And they could profit tremendously if the demand for gold as a safe haven continues to grow.

Gold vs. Deflation

On April 5, 1933, President Roosevelt issued an executive order forcing delivery (confiscation) of gold owned by private citizens to the government in exchange for compensation at the fixed price of $20.67/oz. And less than nine months later, he raised the gold price to $35, effectively diluting the dollar in every wallet 41% overnight and swindling everyone who had turned in his gold.

We don’t know exactly what an untethered gold price would have done during the depression, but given its distinction in history as a store of value, it’s likely to retain its purchasing power in a deflationary setting regardless of its nominal price. In other words, while the price of gold might not rise, or could even fall, your best protection is still gold.

But with this said, the overriding concern is that in a fiat system, any deflation will be met with an inflationary overreaction (as we’re seeing). And the worse the deflation, the more extreme the overreaction will be.

It’s for this reason that the editors of BIG GOLD urge you to own physical gold, in your possession and under your control, given its reliability as a store of value in both inflationary and deflationary environments. If you have less than our recommended one-third of your investable assets in some form of gold, check around for places to buy gold coins and bars at good premiums.

The Silver Lining

For those with an inclination toward silver, our research points to clear signs that silver is increasingly being viewed as a store of value and not just as an industrial metal.

Here’s a comparison of silver’s performance vs. base metals over the past six months (10-1-08 through 3-31-09), which includes last fall’s meltdown:

If silver were viewed solely as an industrial metal, the price would be off sharply.

This doesn’t mean we think silver or silver stocks can’t go temporarily lower from here, but rather that the demand for silver as a store of value metal will be growing.

Bottom line: Whether we’re served debilitating deflation or insidious inflation, holding gold (and silver), along with an appropriate allocation of precious metals stocks, offers us both a fort for protection and a canon for profit.

Buying physical gold and silver as safe-harbor assets is for many investors a no-brainer at this point. But only a few have heard of another prudent gold investment — one that has gone up more than 50% in 2008, at the exact same time when the overall stock market bombed.

Tales from a Bankrupt Economy
by Bill Bonner
London, England


"Pssst...hey kid... You, in the red robe...

php1o1H0X

"You're just graduating from college, right?

"You wanna make some real money?

"Then, rush to Detroit. Set up a law firm specializing in bankruptcy."

More advice to college graduates follows...(below)...

Two auto-parts suppliers have already filed under Chapter 11. GM is expected to do so momentarily.

Too bad about GM. It was set up in 1916. If it had been able to hold together for another 7 years, it would have gone 100 years without having to declare bankruptcy.

All people die. All companies die, too. That's why 'buy and hold' is wishful thinking. Buy and hold long enough and you are sure to go broke. And die.

Eventually the undertakers and bankruptcy lawyers get you. And today...business is good in Detroit. What cleared the way for the GM bankruptcy was a deal with the bondholders...in which they take equity in exchange for their debt and agree not to contest the bankruptcy filing. Still, the deal - and other deals relating to it...including the presence of one very big and very odd shareholder, the government of the United States of America - is so complicated, it's bound to give bankruptcy lawyers plenty of work for many years.

But business seems to be picking up everywhere...at least, that's the impression you get from reading the paper. The war against capitalism seems to be going pretty well, in other words.

Yesterday, the rally continued on Wall Street, with the Dow up 103 points. Oil rose too. It is trading at $65 a barrel this morning. And look at gold - the old yellow metal is at $963 and still going up. We wouldn't be surprised if this trend continued.

Does this mean the feds are winning the war?

"Signs of life return to California market," says the Financial Times.

Houses in many areas are selling for 60% less than they did two years ago. Two years ago, the average family couldn't come close to buying the average house. In didn't take a genius to figure out that that couldn't last. Who were they going to sell the average house to if not to the average family? Well, now the $600,000 dump from '07 has been foreclosed and is now on sale for $200,000. That means that the average family that still has a job can buy it.

And it doesn't hurt that the feds make it easier - distorting the market with an $8,000 tax credit and EZ financing from the FHA.

Wait a minute! Wasn't it easy financing that got us into this mess? Of course it was. But that little insight doesn't stop the feds. They're convinced that if they can just put out enough new credit, it will somehow make the problems caused by having too much credit before go away.

So here's the deal. You can get the FHA to finance a house, long-term, at just 4.9%. That's just 0.3% higher than the long-term Treasury yield. Even without opening the closet door, we smell a rat. How can lenders expect to make any money - after delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, resales...to say nothing of legal and administrative work - on a 0.3% margin? And that's assuming their cost of money is the same as the feds' cost - the long term T-bond rate.

Maybe they should read the paper. John Authers, writing in the Financial Times:

"The latest US mortgage delinquency figures are horrendous, with more than 6% of prime mortgages in arrears - more than double the long-term norm. A quarter of sub-prime loans are delinquent."

And although one in 6 homeowners is underwater...

"The peak of foreclosures has yet to come,' Harvard historian Niall Ferguson adds. 'They will go from 40 percent of all home sales to literally 100 percent by the end of the year.'"

Well, the bankers - as everyone knows - are a lot smarter than we are. They're probably up to the old trick: borrowing short, lending long. The spread between the long rate and the short rate has never been great. We explained why yesterday. The Chinese don't trust Tim Geithner to keep his word. For that matter, neither do we. They've switched from buying long bonds to buying short bills. So, the bankers - including those working for the FHA - can borrow very cheaply in the short-term market. And they can make cheap mortgage loans, long-term. And then, when the short rates go up...and they need to roll over their short- term loans...they can get in line at the courthouse, behind GM and the parts manufacturers...

..and pick out a gaudy casket too.

Now over to Ian with some more news from today's 5 Minute Forecast:

"As we prepare to wrap up the month of May, one thing's clear: Commodities are back, baby.

php82ctLT

"That's a 12.3% monthly move for the CRB, an index that tracks most of the world's heavily traded commodities. The stars have aligned in the favor of hard assets this month: Global investors are collectively more optimistic. There's a strong reboom vibe emanating from BRIC nations (see below). And perhaps above all, there's this:

phphPQZEs

"After falling through its 200-day moving average earlier this month, the dollar index has been in steady decay. The index crashed through another important level this morning -- the 80 score, a long-standing point of support. Will the greenback fall further still? Barring a stock market reversal and flight to safety in the dollar, or some kind of wild government intervention (both totally possible), we don't see what's keeping the dollar from testing 2008 lows."

Every business day Ian Mathias writes for The 5 Min Forecast, an executive series e-letter that provides a quick and dirty analysis of economic and financial developments - in five minutes or less.

It's a service available free only to Agora Financial's paid publication subscribers. And in the next few hours, one of these publications, Energy & Scarcity Investor, is set to release an exclusive report that could make you gains upwards of 15,000% in less than 2 years.

Now, that might sound crazy, but isn't worth 10 minutes to judge for yourself?

Click here for all the information. But act now. This report expires at 5 PM today!

And now back to Bill with some more thoughts:

Jobless claims eased for the second week in a row. Hallelujah. The economy is still unloading jobs, but at least its not dumping them like it was earlier in the year. Which leads a number of economists to the old refrain: 'the worst is behind us.'

Meanwhile, from Japan comes encouraging news. The Nippon economy is increasing its industrial output at the fastest pace in 56 years. And oil is signaling a global rebound, isn't it?

"I don't think so," says MoneyWeek's editor in Paris. "There is no increase in oil consumption. Instead, consumption is still going down. What we're seeing is speculation. The central banks are adding to the funds available for speculation. So far, that money isn't reaching the consumer economy...it's mostly in the natural resources market betting on inflation."

Everywhere you look, dear reader, is a war zone. Nothing is safe. The feds' war against deflation does collateral damage to almost everyone and everything.

But you have to give the feds credit. Raw materials...gold...oil...emerging markets - all have seen big increases. Major stock markets too are showing big gains.

But the feds' plan is not to reflate the asset bubble, but to reflate the economy. For that, they need rising consumer prices. Consumers need to borrow...and spend. They'll do so, say economists, when prices rise and their dollars lose value. So far, milk and potatoes aren't cooperating. The price of milk fell so low that farmers slaughtered their herds. As for potatoes...we don't know.

In Europe, inflation has disappeared. This is the first time the euro zone has ever had flat and falling prices. In America, too, consumer price inflation is ebbing away.

In other words, the feds may be winning a battle but losing the war!

As usual, there's a lot of smoke and fog on this battlefield. Consumer confidence is rising...but so is unemployment. The New York Times says US joblessness may soon pass Europe's habitually-high rates. The Chinese are still buying America's debt - but only the short-term stuff. America's biggest industrial company goes broke...the government takes a key role in key industries...but investors buy more stocks!

If you look through your binoculars you will have a hard time figuring out who's really winning. In the confusion of the battlefield, even a hardened veteran often fails to tell which way the fight is going. In fact, you might see rising stock prices and get the wrong idea...like watching the Yankees get chased back to Washington after the first battle of Bull Run; you might have thought that that was all there was to it. The war was over and the South had won.

Not quite.

The Daily Reckoning PRESENTS: Even though he's never been asked to make a commencement address, that does not stop Bill Bonner from offering up a few words of wisdom to the world's new graduates. It may not be what they want to hear, but his advice is something they should all heed. Read on...


Class of '09: You're Scr-wed!
by Bill Bonner
London, England


Last weekend, we journeyed to Boston to attend a college graduation. Thousands of callow scholars were on display. Each was handed his papers...and then marched out of the hockey stadium. To the tune of 'Pomp & Circumstance,' wearing a long, red robe, he entered the outside world solemnly...like a patsy joining a poker game.

So far, not a single major university has asked us to make the commencement address. Nor a minor college. Not even a school of cosmetology or taxidermy. But here at the Daily Reckoning headquarters in London, protected by a broad ocean and a narrow reading of the First Amendment, we will give them - and UK graduates too - advice no one asked for.

"Plastics," was the advice given to college graduates in Mike Nichols' '67 film. But that was when there was still hope for America's manufacturing sector. Even then, it was too late. The percentage of GDP from the manufacturing sector fell for the next four decades, from over 20% in the last '60s to barely 12% last year. Better advice would have been 'derivatives.' They stank just as bad, but they were much more profitable. While only 8% of GDP, finance accounted for 40% of corporate profits in 2007. And derivatives grew from nothing to a face value of 16 times the GDP of the entire planet.

But your elders are always giving you bum advice.

"You cannot decline the burdens of empire and still expect to share its honors," said Pericles to the class of 430BC. He lived during a time not unlike your parents' era in the USA - when Athens was on top of the world. But vanity got the better of him. He launched an attack on Sparta that backfired badly. He soon died of plague and Athens was not only ruined, but enslaved. Athens' 'golden age' turned to lead. Young Athenians should have shrugged off the burden rather than accept it. You should do the same.
"...as much as $77 trillion of post-’09 earnings must be stolen from the future in order to pay for the liquor your parents drank..."

When you were born 20-some years ago, the nation's total debt per person was less than $90,000 - adjusted to '09 dollars, of course. While that was a lot of money, it was nothing compared to what was coming. Now it's $186,717 per person - more than twice as much, in real terms. Fortunately, private debt is not inheritable. But it comes to you as a lien against property. Instead of paying off their mortgages and leaving you a house, free and clear, the baby boomer generation spent the 'equity' in their houses even faster than they got it. House prices rose. But mortgage debt rose faster. While your grandparents owned 80% of their houses, by 2007, the typical homeowner only really owned 4 rooms of an 8-room house. And then, when house prices fell, so did his remaining equity...to the point where one out of six homeowners in America is now underwater. You could still eventually inherit a house, but you may have to scrape the barnacles off the front porch.

But that's not even the half of it. While your parents had control of the US government they allowed themselves a little larceny. Add the unfunded retirement and healthcare benefits they voted for themselves to the official national debt, and together they are scheduled to cost your generation 4 times the total annual output of the US. This is over and above the private debt they accumulated.

Some of this debt can be carried. Some will have to paid down. But as it stands, as much as $77 trillion of post-'09 earnings must be stolen from the future in order to pay for the liquor your parents drank...the bombs they dropped on god-forsaken foreigners...and the interest on their debts. So, forget about saving for a European vacation or a house of your own. Even if every penny of your savings - and every other American's savings - are put to the task you will still be paying for your parents' expenses all your life.

But wait, there's more! The burden is getting heavier. Federal budget projections show an additional $7 trillion in deficits over the next 10 years. Described as the cost of fighting recession, the present generation buries its own mistakes under cash that the next generation hasn't even earned yet. Today's bankers, businessmen and speculators are being bankrolled by you - tomorrow's bankers, businessmen and speculators. Today's homeowners get a helping hand...from whom? Tomorrow's homeowners - you. Today's employees get a boost too. Same story. Where do you think the money came from to pay Wall Street bonuses this year? How do you think GM stays in business...and Fannie Mae...and AIG... Who pays those salaries? Who pays to keep troops all over the world and keep old people supplied with new drugs? Who pays for hundreds of billions' worth of 'shovel ready' boondoggles? You will. At least, that's the plan.

The luck of one generation is the curse of the next. Like Pericles, your parents inherited a dollar; they leave you a peso. They took over the strongest, richest, most competitive nation in the world. And like Pericles they minded everyone's business but their own. Now, not only does the US owe money all over town, its government puts out trillions more in IOUs every year - each one with your name on it. You're not even out in the real world yet, and you're getting the bill for 50 cents of every dollar the feds spend - almost none of it earmarked for you. But that is the thing about the real world your teachers probably forgot to tell you about. It is more unreal and fantastical than anything you studied.

Here's what's real: You've been dealt a bad hand. From the bottom of the deck...your parents have slipped you some nasty cards. Our advice? Fold 'em. Get up from the table before they clean you out.

Enjoy your weekend,

20 Web Success Secrets To Home Business Success

The key to the success of your home business is to not only
providing excellent,free content but to distribute that content
in such a way as to gain recognition by the search engines which
always bring very targeted traffic and consequently,sales. In
order to do that you must understand the basics of internet
marketing.

Internet Marketing can be mostly distinguished from Internet
Advertising by the fact that it includes search engine optimization
techniques and brand building with the use of logos and photographs.
When you engage in internet marketing, you are not just exposing
potential customers to what your company offers,you are associating
specific keywords with your website,products and company. The most
effective way to do this is through one-way links that are part of
the content of another website,as in an article. Other very prevalent
methods are to use link exchanges or to reciprocally exchange links
with other prominent,high-page ranking websites.

In reality there are only two ways to get targeted traffic:
either you buy it via different advertising programs (AdWords,
Overture, ExactSeek, PPC, Traffic Exchanges, Safelists) or you
reach top positions with your web sites and search engines send
you targeted traffic for free. All Internet marketers know that
search engine traffic is the best traffic in the Internet,
because millions of people are searching, and if your web site
can give them what they are looking for - you get sales.

1.

Get a 3 Month,6 Month,Annual or Lifetime Membership in Article
Marketing and Distribute Your Articles to over 3,600 of the Most
Important Article Directories. I repeat, only about half of the
directories are possible to 100% automate. Some of the best
directories employ captcha, at least during the account registration
process. That means you still have to spend couple of seconds per
article directory to register for an account! That's just how things
are. Products which claim 100% automation DO NOT submit to authority
sites. Although useful,not submitting to authority article directories
is NOT article marketing and not even close to the real power of article marketing.

As I said, it is my preference to submit only to
those directories who do not require a reciprocal link. I am looking
for one way links. Many directories are free and some require payment.
Handle this in your own way. You may want to select a directory with a
good rank and pay for inclusion, and make the rest of your submissions
to free directories. It is up to you and your budget.

When submitting to directories, do a little homework


first. Bring up notepad and make a list of keywords you want to focus
on, and make up some descriptions for your website. Making up more than
one description is good. Some directories encourage you to make your
description more lengthy than others. But don't get carried away,
describe your website in the third person and don't make it a sales pitch.

You can get a free copy of NoteTab Light .
The advantages of NoteTab Light are many, but the reason I suggest it
here is to save you time in your pursuit of one way links. You can enter
your descriptions into NoteTab Light and under the tools section click
on text statistics it will give you word and character counts which
can be useful. Many directories limit words or characters. You can
have several versions along with the word count, and you will know
which one will be accepted by the directory.

Once you have brought up a directory, look at some
of the listings. This will give you a feel for the directory and what
they allow. Some are strict about site title and some are not. Be sure
and follow their guidelines or you won't get listed. Choose the right
category for your website. If possible choose a category containing
one of your keywords. If they ask for keywords, list them in their
order of importance in relation to your website.

This directory list gives you a
variety of information. Here is another useful directory list.

directory submission service! - Use Directory Maximizer !

Other lists can be found on the Internet.
Before you list in directories, be sure your website is finished
and functional. While it is true that you will always be working on
your website adding content, updating content etc., before you put
it on the Internet and start promoting it be sure it is functional.
You need to have some good content, navigation, and anything required
by law such as contact info,privacy policy and disclaimers if
necessary. And make sure there are no dead links.

Directiories are a good source of one way links, but
they are just one way to get them. Always be on the alert for other
methods that will bring you one way links without upsetting the search
engines.

Next you'll find information about another good way to
bring your website one way links, traffic and credibility.

21. Do Link Exchanges Really Work?


Does exchanging links with other sites work as a way to get traffic
and visitors to your website? You bet it does! I had been recently
spending lots of time getting link exchange partners with my busy
forum The Free Ad Forum.


This is a great way to get free traffic and free advertising but
I have a better deal for you. Put away your wallet because this is
100% free. Real free traffic. You pay zip, nada, zilch, zero. Why
not place your free, permanent advertising on ALL of my sites? I
have been promoting these sites for years and now you can benefit
from the traffic. My sites range from about 40,000 Alexa to around
200,000. This means that if I have an Alexa ranking of 40k that
there are only 40,000 sites on the internet which are busier than
mine. Considering that there are millions of sites on the internet
this is very busy. This type of traffic translates to about 300-400
people per day signing up for my newsletters.


All you have to do is go to http://www.quickregister.net/linkexchanges
and bookmark this site. It has all the direct urls to my different
sites link exchange pages. You can then exchange links with all of my sites.
Yeah, I know all the SEO geeks say that link exchanges are out. Well stats
do not lie. I checked my webalyzer stats and I am getting lots and lots
of traffic from link exchanges. Also I checked and many of even the sub
directories of my link exchange directories are getting lots of natural
traffic from the search engines. I am going to post a video on the
Quickregister.net Website Promotion Tips Blog showing my webalyzer
stats and exactly where the traffic is coming from. By the way it
has not hurt my SEO one bit. Go ahead and type in Ïfree search engine
submission servicesÓ in Google. I am number 4 right now. All the other
sites ahead of me are major SEO companies with many people working for
them. I did all this in my boxer shorts from my condo. So this link
exchange stuff works and it is free.

permanent traffic now. Thanks for reading I hope you find this free
advertising method gets you is an effective marketing tool in getting
