A very important part of getting your site search engine optimised is to get incoming links from other high quality sites. This tells the search engine that your content is worthy and you will appear higher in the search results.

I want to point out 2 free tools that you can use to see who is linking to you.

The first one is at iwebtool.com, it shows you who has linked to you and what their pagerank is.

The second is at webuildpages.com and along with who has linked to you, also displays the anchor text used.

All very interesting stuff. I hope these free tools help you on your way to a very succesful website.

Let me know if you know of any other useful tools we could highlight.

I came across this site the other day and was surprised how much information was there. From what i have seen so far I would thoroughly recommend going through the material there. There is a lot of information just on using things like RSS feeds and other Web 2.0 technologies.

The 30 day challenge site.

There is also the 30 day challenge pre-season information which will get you up to speed with the tools and techniques required.

Here is a great resource for those of us who do plenty of domain name searches as part of our internet business strategy. Instant Domain Search is a tool that allows you to do an ‘instant domain search’, fancy that….

Check it out and I’m sure, like me, it will be your domain name search tool of choice!

I came across this site a few days ago and have been going through the lessons.

It is very well structured and comprehensive. It details the whole internet marketing process from start to finish. I thought it worth mentioning as it echoes many of the philosophies and thinking of the best internet marketers.

Take a look at onlineresearchlabs.com as I’m sure you will find a lot of good information there.

Good Podcast – ebusinessmap.com

I was looking for internet marketing podcasts on iTunes and came across Matthew Ryan’s eBusinessMap show. It is full of great information as it takes you step-by-step through what you need to do to create a passive income via the internet.

On one of his podcasts he mentions a great tool called the McDar Keyword Analysis Tool. Go take a look and have a play with it. This will give you an insight into how the search engines are seeing a particular website.

Also Matthew is happy for you to email him directly with any questions or comments you may have. This is very important as nost of us entrepreneurial types don’t have many people around us who understand what we are trying to achieve. The more people we can network with that are on our same wavelength, the quicker we will become successful.

Just Start!

I just wanted to stress again how important it is to stop procrastinating and just get started. It may not be obvious to you at the start what direction you will take but starting gives you that perspective as time goes on.

Think of it like getting in your car and driving. When you first turn the key and start moving, you can’t see what’s around the next corner. As you approach the corner your view of what’s coming up becomes clearer and clearer until you can see around the corner to what is next in the road.

The reason I wanted to reiterate this is because, while I was doing some keyword research on this site, I noticed I was now linked from one of the internet’s more popular sites!

This is exciting for me because the more credible and popular a site is that links to you, the more kudos it gives your site and consequently the higher your site will appear in search results. This directly affects how many visitors you will get.

Take a look at the 2 links from Tubetorial, a site with a pagerank of 7/10 on Google.

So what are you waiting for?

Setting up your Blog

admin — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 03:16:39 +0000

I won’t go into why setting up a Blog is the first step in creating an online presence but if you do the research you will find in most cases, this is the wisest first step for a budding internet entrepreneur.

The software of choice to satisfy most requirements is a piece of software called WordPress. WordPress is very well supported with an active online community and many third party themes and plugins which can extend it’s functionality.

Probably the easiest way to install WordPress is to use a web hosting service that supports it and allows for an automated installation option. There are hundreds to choose from but I have chosen to use Dreamhost who offer an included domain name registration.

I wont go into too much detail about the process as it is self explainatory and you have access to support online if you get stuck.

OK, so now you have your blog set up, what next.

There are 2 things I suggest you do right away before getting stuck into putting up content:

Set up permalinks to make them them search engine friendly. What this means, instead of having a URL like www.xyz.com/?=p1 you will have www.xyz.com/my-first-post. This will make it easier for people searching for keywords to find your content. See video tutorial video at www.tubetorial.com
Install the Adsense-Deluxe WordPress Plugin to work with your blog . This allows you to insert advertising within your posts where they will be more likely to attract clicks which in turn means more profit for you. There is a easy to understand video tutorial at www.tubetorial.com.

Well, that’s about it for now. I am sure you will have plenty to explore inside WordPress to get familiar with it.
