I have recently been doing some testing with different companies that offer link building services in order to find the one that works best for me and in the process I have come across some companies that really suck.

Instead of offering what they claim on their selling pages, results that I got back after using their services were not worth the money spent to say the least.

I was already getting a little dis-hearted by the thought of having to keep doing all the work myself until I was pointed towards a company that was actually offering high quality link building services for a decent price.

After checking out their website and different packages they offer I decided to give it one more try and I have to say, I am really impressed by the results so far.

The 3 keywords I chose to promote through their services were focussing on a website I created to promote aloeride and not only are they now on the first page of google, they are actually ranking 1st, 2nd and 3rd! That to me was convincing enough to write this post about their services because I know there must be more webmasters around who could benefit of these services.

A small outline of what they offer:

• Manual Directory Submission to high PR directories, with 10 different titles and 10 different descriptions in order to make the submissions look as natural as possible, starting at only $15
• Article Writing Service combined with manual submission to high PR article sites for rates starting as low as $30
• Social Bookmarking Services with different tags and titles starting at only $35 for 125 high ranking bookmarking sites
• Search Engine submission to the most popular search engines, starting at only $29 and offering different packages that will ensure your site will be submitted over a longer period of time, all with detailed reports of submission
• Garantueed Google Indexing with a full refund if magic doesn´t happen
• Linkbaiting and blog review services to generate buzz
• Complete Linkbuilding packages where you get the best of all their offers combined to ensure fast and widespread exposure online

So as you can see they offer a wide variety of possibilities for every pocket but best of all, you actually do get what you pay for and that is high quality linkbuilding, a must for every webmaster these days who wants to be in the big league!

I can honestly say that I fully recommend their service so if you want to find out more please visit their website:

Are you spending hours submitting your website to directories? Or maybe I should better ask, have you ever submitted your website to directories at all?

If you are serious about making a success of your website, you should probably spend around 10% creating new content, up to 10% replying to emails etc and at least 80% building links and generating traffic.

Now, most people have no problems at all with the first 2 big tasks I mentioned, but they will kind of “forget” about the most important thing that will be the difference between success and failure.

Link building …. I can’t seem to say it enough, because it has taken me too long to understand just how important this step is.

If your website does not attract organic traffic through search engines, you might make a few bucks but you will never make it into the bigger league unless you spend a fortune on ad words or other forms of paid advertisement.

The higher the link popularity of your website, the higher your Google PR will be and the better you will be positioned in search engines.

The higher you are positioned, the more people will actually visit your website and the more possibility you will have to make sales.

Now, back to the initial question… are you still submitting to directories manually, locating them and then filling out the submission form over and over again?

I used to up to a few months ago when I finally switched over to software designed to take a lot of tedious tasks of my hands and I have to say, If I had known back when I first started working online about the ease of use and hours I save using this software, it would have been on my list of first and most important things to buy for my business.

I thought I could beat the odds with a lot of hard work and dedication, never giving up because I just knew I could do it. I even thought these software promotions were just another trick to get their hands on my money, but boy, was I wrong!

I got a piece of software to start submitting my website to directories and started noticing an increase in popularity on of the websites I have used the software for.

I looked at a few different versions, since there are many out there, trying the free demo first to see if I could work out how they were running, and I am so glad that I took this step.

Gone are the days of going to each directory, filling in the complete forms and submitting to each and every on, getting bored out of my head and giving up.

Now, I won’t fool you, you will have to do some work, you will have to actually use the software for it to bring you results, but you can speed up this whole tedious process at least 100 times if not more.

The directory submission software that I use will give you access to over 2700 directories, at least 50% with a page rank between PR4 and PR7 without having to give reciprocal links.

So in fact you are getting hundreds and hundreds of high PR one-way links without spilling any link juice from your site.

Plus, you can submit all the sites you are running using different profiles, so you can schedule your directory submitting time. And another plus with the software I am using is that you will get a lifetime of free updates, being able to update your own database of directories with just a click of the button so in the future you will not run out of directories to submit to.

I had to adapt the way I was working in order to build a real business, so I have set a daily schedule of websites to submit, building the links to all different websites gradually and naturally so search engines won’t kick my out of the system for receiving too many links in a too short of time.

The best thing though is that I have cut down the time I was wasting, getting better results and return on the time spent.

Remember, the key to online success is the ability to dedicate your time to the right tasks, without wasting your time on things that won’t give any return.

Continuously Creating Content plus Keeping up with Building Links is the Secret!

I love affiliate marketing ever since I first started learning about it years ago, but I must admit it has been a hard learning curve to get where I am at today. After having bought many e-books thinking that was the way to learn how to become a successful affiliate marketer, I was very close to giving up.

You could very well say I was on complete information overload and as a result I started to become paralyzed, thinking there was a secret nobody really wanted to share, and that maybe this business was not right for me.

However, I hung in there, I kept trying different methods and things slowly started to pick up, but still the return I got for the time I was putting in was well below the minimum hourly wage.

I decided I had to take a closer look at what I was really spending my time on, and what things I should dedicate to more, cutting out on time wasting programs and tasks I was doing everyday.

I finally grew wise and started to treat my job as a real business.

Instead of dedicating a lot of hours to submitting manually to different directories to get my website out there online, I decided I had to automate several tasks so I could start working faster. Because sincerely, spending a whole day submitting to directories manually really is not the most things to do, and many people soon give up, getting completely bored when they don’t see fast results.

This is probably one of the biggest reasons so many people fail in affiliate marketing and give up without even giving themselves a real shot at the bigger money, without even realizing it!

You have to automate as many daily task possible so you can work faster and more dedicated, getting more links to your site and more authority in the search engines. I am referring here especially to directory submission and article directory submission.

Did you know there is software available that will let you submit to hundreds if not thousands of directories without having to fill in all the details of your website over and over again?

I will tell you more about the software I am now using in a future post, because I want to stress another mistake many people make when trying to make a buck online.

Not treating this as a business creates another mistake many make when first coming to affiliate marketing, which is not having their own websites. Nowadays getting your own website is fairly cheap and you should look at it as the foundation of your business. Owning your own domain has many advantages over free websites, since you will always have all control plus you can eventually sell your domain if you choose not to renew it anymore.

Investing in domains and websites, amplifying your portfolio is never money thrown away. Even if you hardly do anything with your domain, when it starts aging, its value go up because search engines prefer aged domains to new ones. Think about that!

And then the third biggest mistake too many affiliates make is that they try cold selling without preparing their visitor. When I say preparing, I mean to say that many try themselves selling the product they are marketing so when they do achieve sending their hard earned traffic off to the final product page, the visitor will feel like something is being sold again to them and will run away instead of actually going through with the sale.

If you want to become a success, treat your work as a real Business!
