Here’s what the DoFollow, CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, TwitterLink and Top Commentator WordPress plugins are and how they will help you quickly build back links automatically.

If you are a member of an affiliate or resellers program, and you were given a web site or web page from which to promote the program, you should pay very close attention to this article. It will open your eyes to why it is almost impossible to get the search engines to give you a high ranking.

99.9% of all affiliate programs which offer a web page or web site as part of the joining package, give what is referred to as a “self replicated” site or page. This means it is a page or site that is identical to every other member also in the same affiliate program with one very small exception. The only difference between all the pages is your affiliate number or email address.

This is search engine suicide and despite what you may have been told, if you think you are ever going to get far trying to get these type sites listed high in the search engines, it will never ever happen. You will get further paddling a boat across the lake with a huge hole in it!

The reason affiliate groups give these types of pages out, is because it is very easy to generate them using a script from their web site. The main objective for most of these affiliate type companies is to get as many people signed up as possible into their program. The more people they have signed up, the more overall sales they will generate for the company.

Here’s why the affiliated or “self replicated” pages are no good for you and how to easily get around the very serious problem.

Depending upon how long you have been on the Internet, you may have heard the term “mirror page”. A few years ago, someone decided it would be a smart idea to take their index page (main page of a web site) and create multiple copies of it. They left everything on the page the same and just kept making copies like index1.htm, index2.htm, index3.htm etc. The next thing to happen was they uploaded all these copies to their web server and submitted each of these pages to the search engines. The results were pretty good until the search engines figured out what was going on. The search engines started working on ways to prevent this from happening to make it more fair to the Internet in general. The solution was for the search engines to give very poor ranking to those sites which were submitted which exactly match other pages already indexed within the same search engine.

The search engines send out what’s called a “spider” or “robot” to index your web site when it has been submitted. This is all automatically done and can instantly tell when deceptive things like mirror pages are in place. The result is very poor ranking and huge loss of potential traffic and income.

Ok, now that you understand this, can you also appreciate that a search engine cannot tell a mirror page from a self replicated one? Now do you also see why using up energy and time to try and get these types of pages highly ranked in the search engines is a complete waste of time? I hope so!

Lead in (sometimes called splash) pages are pages that will greatly improve your affiliate type web sites ability to generate traffic. You create a page that is put together properly in terms of design, layout, and has the proper advanced meta tags. Then you submit the lead in page to the the search engines! There are several samples on our site to give you an easier idea of exactly how effective this is.

By using a lead in page to promote and submit to the search engines, all web traffic will be drawn to this page first. The search engines will also rank this page much higher than it would ever have ranked the self replicated page. A lead in or splash page is a must for every self replicated web site.

A word about meta tags. Meta tags are crucial to your web pages success. 99.9% of all self replicated web pages do not have any meta tags! It is also impossible for you to get ranked within the search engines without the proper use of meta tags. There are about seventeen advanced meta tags that you should have programmed into every web page in your web site. The search engines are looking for very specific things. If you give the search engines exactly what they seek, you will enjoy far greater search engine ranking than those who do not. It is just that plain and simple.

Article: What Everyone With A Self Replicating Web Site Should Know And Why They Are Losing Traffic

Today more than ever having your own domain name is an absolute must for many reasons. In this article I reveal some of them. Keep in mind there are many more. And today domain names are available all over the web for a very reasonable fee. The prices have come way down over the past few years. There is absolutely no excuse if you are truly serious about your online business not to have your own domain name.

Imagine for a moment you are surfing the web, and you run across a link with a headline promising that if you click it, you will discover a way to earn a phenomenal income. So, you go ahead and click it and stand by to be taken to the associated web site. Here’s a small part of the psychology that goes on in 89% of web surfers minds as they look for helpful web sites.

Using the example above, lets pretend the person is going to your web site and when they get there they see it’s an address that looks kind of like this…

http://members.aol.com/usersname/index.htm

What’s the very first thought the little voice says to them in their head? They hear a very loud voice saying…

“This web site is not making any money cause the owner can’t generate enough money to purchase their own domain name!”

It doesn’t matter if this is true or not. You could be doing very well with a non domain name but if the majority of people assume otherwise, think of all the business you will lose every day. I know this first hand and when I think about it, it makes we wish I had got my own domain name much sooner than I did. I used to have a small little web site hosted on AOL. It was two megs and I thought it was doing pretty well. Once I got my own domain name, my daily visits jumped dramatically and my orders more than quadrupled!

Our company web address now has a commanding presence on the web because we have our own domain name.

Without your own domain name people will not take you seriously. Having your own domain name also will allow you to have very professional email addresses such as… sales@WorldwideAdNetwork.com, or anything else you desire like staff@…, president@…., information@…. etc. Can you now start to see why this is?

So by now you should already realize how crucial it is for you to have your own Internet domain name. There is one more step needed before you sign up for a domain name. You will need to check to see if the name you want is already taken. One easy way to do it is to type in the name you want and see if it comes up as a valid Internet address. The other, and much more reliable method, is to conduct a WHOIS search. A WHOIS search will tell you if the domain name you want is available and if not who owns the Internet name. Anyone can very easily get their own web domain name. And today there are many hosting companies available to pick from.

A word to the wise about picking a domain name. Always try to come up with a domain name that is generic in nature and will not lock you into one certain type of business. You will discover new and interesting programs as you learn more about the Internet and you will want to include some of them on your web site. if the name of your site limited you to one certain type of business, it would confuse site visitors and you will lose business.

I of course have to let you in on another challenge you are up against. The “domain name entrepreneurs”, these are people who decided one day to sit and think of all the best possible domain names one might desire to own. Yes, you guessed it, they bought up tons of good names. Why? because they know Internet domain names are transferable. This means they can pay $70.00 for the name and then sit on it until someone comes along who wants it. Right again, the owner can sell the domain name for whatever amount they can get for it! There are many sites on the web that do this. These people always demand insane prices for these domain names as they know some of the really best names will generate tons of web traffic just on the name alone. Think about it.

Alright, so you know you need to come up with a name. Try to pick a name that is very easy to remember. Imagine you were telling someone in a hurry what the domain name is and you want to make sure they will remember it on their way home from a shopping mall for example in rush hour traffic. The best domain names are simple one or two word names. Ours is the name of our company. I chose it because the words are highly search able. I’ve also found that if you r company name is one thing, and your web domain name is something else, some people will write their checks out to your domain name. Remember the web is full of new people learning!

Article: Why You Are Wasting Your Time Without Your Own Internet Domain Name

If you submit your URL(s) either by hand or use a web submission service, or belong to any of the many affiliate programs, you should read the following VERY carefully! It will save you lots of time, energy, and effort. And it will also save you many headaches.

Each day the Internet welcomes thousands of entrepreneurs each eager to claim their fair share of an incredible income. In life things happen in stages and in this article you are going to learn what really happens as opposed to what you may have been told by some shall we say “crafty” marketer’s! Get ready for an eye opener.

I have seen time and time again, people lose motivation very quickly after they try marketing on the Internet, and do not immediately get thousands of orders like they may have been promised. This is very sad as ( if given the honest information of how to properly market) many of these folks would be enjoying an abundant and blessed income right now! Here’s what happens but doesn’t have to happen to you.

When first starting out, most have little to nothing in their advertising budget. In fact most have to scrape together the funds to advertise at all. Some try to find free places to promote their web address. These people sit for hours and manually type their ads to list one or more URL’s to the many “Free For ALL” or FFA pages. They sit back and wait for the big payday for all the hard work invested. Guess what, it doesn’t come. Next they learn there are submission services that for a small fee, will do the submissions for them to thousands of FFA’s, links pages, directories, search engines, and commercial newsgroups etc. On the surface this sounds like the way to go not to mention saving lots of time. Well not quite, here’s what really happens and why you should give very serious thought to how your web address can actually be BLOCKED BY THOUSANDS of sites all over the Internet! Make sure you know who you are doing business with or they may do more harm than good for your URL.

Many web submission services are nothing more than a person who bought a web submission software package and are using it to submit many people’s sites. Many submission services abuse your URL in the FFA pages using the very methods in this article. This is one thing they do not tell you when they take your money!

As a webmaster, I have a very successful web site. Thousands each day submit a link to their web sites on my FFA links page. I’m happy to provide a free source of promotion however, like all things in life their are a few bad apples who are causing many honest folks to permanently suffer without their knowledge or approval.

A webmaster ads a FFA links page to his site for two reasons. First it is a great traffic builder. Second, in exchange for allowing posted links, the webmaster (under the terms listed on 99.9% of all FFA sites) will send (using a cgi script) a short confirmation of the successful post to let the poster know the ad was received. These confirmations often have some very good marketing articles, tools, software and related items to help anyone marketing anything online or off and shouldn’t be overlooked. There are many free valuable resources on the Internet!

Some people decided along the way they wanted to gain the benefit of the webmasters FFA service, yet didn’t want the webmaster to be able to gain the benefit of the follow up confirmation email. How is this fair to the webmaster? Well as a result the webmasters quickly came to the conclusion that if someone wants to use the service but can’t agree to getting an email confirmation, why then should they allow them to post any further ads? It sounds reasonable enough. After all it’s much easier to just BLOCK the person from posting any further ads. It doesn’t stop here as many webmasters share the names and domains of people who use fake email addresses, auto responders etc. and those sites get blocked on not just one, but THOUSANDS of sites forever!

Webmasters get notified of each person who posts a link to their FFA site. It looks something like this:

Title: Earn $3,000. to $5,000 WEEKLY… URL: http://www.computermillions.com Section: Business Submitted by: email goes here

Many people submit an ad using a fake email address, or a email address from a service such as hotmail.com, email.com, yahoo.com etc. What they don’t realize is more and more webmasters have blocked those people from posting ads using an email address from these places. I’ll explain more about this in a moment. In fact many sites will not accept an order online if it comes from one of these email domains as they have so much negative association. This should be considered.

The webmaster can easily see not only who is posting ads, but also the IP address of the person who posted it, as well as the date and time etc. When a person uses a fake email address, or one of those drop email boxes like email.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com etc. to avoid getting confirmations, the webmaster knows it and is often sent an error email message saying the email box is either full, or over the quota. Multiply this by thousands of people using these methods and you can soon see how webmasters would get upset at getting many error email messages.

The next reason webmasters are upset is that people use an auto responder as a way to trick people into asking for more information. What happens is they submit an ad using an auto responder, the script from the FFA site sends out the email confirmation and next thing you know the auto responder and script are sending out mail back and forth over and over again. This causes wasted bandwidth and servers and web hosts do not appreciate it.

I”I’ve spoken to several free and paid auto responder services. I’ve been told by ALL they do NOT appreciate people using their responders in this way! They have very strict policies against it. In fact one provider even goes after the abusers legally for violating the terms of service agreed to when they signed up for his service!

Here’s how THOUSANDS of webmasters are fighting back!!!

Most serious markers belong to hundreds, and in some cases thousands of marketing discussion lists. These lists each can have anywhere from a few hundred to many thousands of subscribers. On top of that their are thousands of very good marketing ezines and newsletters which the owners have notified their subscribers of these unethical practices and shown them ways to stop the abusers.

Webmasters have the ability to easily BLOCK a person from posting any further ads by either certain words appearing in the headline, or the URL address itself. Here’s where many who belong to an affiliate program are going to be VERY angry. Let’s say you belong to a program called “affilationsXYZ” and your URL looks something like: http://www.affiliationsxyz.com/members/123456 and you are one of those who choose to try and avoid the email confirmations. When the webmasters get tired of seeing http://www.affiliationsxyz.com in the error folder, they will simply BLOCK anyone using http://www.affiliationsxyz.com from being able to post any ads in the future period. Well not only did they stop you but also anyone else that is also in the same affiliate program you are. Instead of you being the one trying to avoid the confirmations, let’s say you are trying to do things the right way and you just paid a reliable submission service to submit your site and for the reasons outlined in this article your ad was rejected by thousands of sites. How do you feel? Is this fair to you? Of course not, but it is already happening to many unknowing, unsuspecting people by the thousands every second of every day!!!

Scripts are in the works right now to bypass the given email address when the ad is posted. This means you will receive a reply to the root domain name. This will greatly effect people who are still using web addresses by AOL or any free site thats address begins with members.AOL etc. which is all the more reason to get your own domain name and not only avoid these issues but also to show people you are a serious business so they will take you seriously.

No matter what your web submission person or consultant tells you, I have shared the true and honest facts. You can listen to someone who cannot demonstrate the wealth and success gained by doing things the proper way, or you can listen to someone who can prove these things to you. It’s a choice you should make carefully.

What to do to manage the email confirmations effectively.

I suggest a good email management program like Eudora Pro to filter your email and organize it into related folders. This will make it much easier for you to not only move the FFA confirmations to their own folder, but also to easily organize all email.
