Net Strife - providing smashing tips on Internet Marketing

* This is going to be a long post, but read through all of it as I GUARANTEE it’s going to help you I haven’t included any affiliate links to the services below since I want this to be 100% objective

When it comes to SEO and internet marketing in general, most people like to limit themselves just to doing simple, free stuff like writing articles, submitting to directories, doing social bookmarking, commenting on blogs and so on (see my post on free SEO methods). But if you do this stuff ALONE it’s going to take a ton of work to rank for competitive keywords. Remember that if you do what everyone else does, you’re going to get the same results as everyone else… so what other stuff can you do to get high rankings in google?

Here’s how I do it: I have a couple of link building guys full time from india, that do the methods above pretty much full time across my network of sites. It’s not worth my time to do it myself, but if I can outsource it for a low hourly rate, then I can have it done automatically without even thinking about it. I usually go to rentacoder.com or scriptlance.com to find link builders. Make sure you hire someone that has done SEO work before, because if you hire someone who is inexperienced, I guarantee it’s not going to work out well. Once I have a link builder that I know I can trust, I buy them all the software they need. The two people I hire have worked with me full time for over 8 months now. If you find someone doing a good job, do whatever you can to keep them.

However, even with a couple people working on free SEO methods for you full time, it’s not usually going to be enough to rank for really competitive keywords. I’ve found that what gets me the most powerful results over everything else is the link-building membership sites I subscribe to. Some of them aren’t exactly cheap, but they are extremely powerful. Here they are (again, no affiliate links used)…

Link Building Membership Sites That Get Powerful Results…

#1: 1 Way Links (1waylinks.net) (created by Jonathan Leger)

At $47/month, this is a relatively cheap service that really works well. It works by sending out your article (with up to three links back to your sites) out to a number of blogs, so you get a bunch of high quality backlinks. All these blogs are user-submitted — when you join, you have to submit a blog, and then you’ll get up to 250 postings on blogs in the 1waylinks network. If you donate more blogs to the 1waylinks network, you get to submit more posts (you get 50 more posts per month for every blog you donate).

I’ve been using this about 3 months and have seen a definitive improvement in sites I’ve promoted. For the price, this is an awesome service IMO. I have actually used a lot of Jonathan Leger’s products and they always perform.

#2: Traffic Kahuna (traffickahuna.com) (by Jason Potash) (No Longer Available)

Traffic Kahuna closed out several months ago and no longer takes new members, so I won’t go over it much. All I’ll say is this is a damn good service even at $147/month. I’ve been a member of it for well over six months now. It does tons of things for you (there is a blog feeder of user-submitted blogs like with 1waylinks, a co-op system, a redirect tool, and phrase spinner etc), but I just use the blog feeder tool it offers. This has played a huge role in sending some of my sites to the top of google.

#3: 3 Way Links (3waylinks.net) (by Jonathan Leger)

This has been around for a while, and I’ve had all my sites in it for over a year. This is a 100% automated system where you don’t have to do anything. You setup your site for it, and your site links out to other sites that are in 3waylinks. Basically site A links to site B, site B links to site C, and site C links to site A (this is called a 3 way link). Google sees this as a one way link, which is much better than a reciprocal link where two sites just link to each other. You get 250 links per month for every site you put in the 3waylinks network. At only $47/month, this is an absolute bargain if you have a lot of sites.

By the way, a lot of people that really have no idea what they’re talking about say joining things like 3waylinks can get your site “banned” in google. After putting over 100 sites in this network over the space of one year, NONE of my sites have got banned in google.

#4: LinkVana (linkvana.com) (by Dave Kelly)

Although the “MSN Loophole” (also by Dave Kelly) is definitely NOT a product I would recommend as seen by my last post, linkvana is a great service that gives you a low amount of very high quality, natural looking links. You basically submit posts of 100 words in length, with a link back to your site. Each post goes on a blog somewhere. Traffic Kahuna and 1waylinks will submit your post or article to several blogs, whereas Linkvana will only submit your post to one blog. However, many of these blogs give a lot of link-weight, and I have seen good results from using Linkvana.

At $147/month, this is worth getting if you are serious with SEO like me. If you’re on a budget then 1waylinks.net is a great alternative at only $47/month.

NB: Traffic kahuna, linkvana and 1waylinks all require a bit of work to get going since you need to submit unique articles only. For really cheap articles, I strongly recommend cyberhub online, which are insanely cheap and great people to work with. If you don’t want to hire people for that low, there are plenty of good writers you can hire on scriptlance, elance or rentacoder. Or of course you could just write the articles yourself.

Don’t Want To Spend Any Money?

Let me tell you something…. even with hiring two full time people, outsourcing a bunch of miscellaneous tasks a few times a week AND subscribing to all of the above four services, all the expenses for my business add up to around $2,000 to $3,000 per month. That may seem like a lot if you’re new. But compared to the rankings some of my sites hold in google and income (it’s still over 6 figures a year NET), it’s mostly just a drop in the bucket.

It took me over a year of getting absolutely nowhere (I started internet marketing when I had just turned 17) before I realized to make any decent money you’ll need to actually spend some money. If you’re making a few hundred bucks a month doing free stuff only like I used to be doing, then you really need to think about taking this business more seriously and investing in either hiring people or joining the services mentioned above. Eventually, you’re going to have to take some kind of risk.
