Google’s Can Of Worms: Links
What are your thoughts on paid links artificial link boosting to improve ranking, it is a sticky subject that is tough to balance out. Google has recently taken a hard stand on “paid links” on the web. Only problem is that so many sites ranking today are their via links they sought from other websites.
In my eye’s it’s not really different than a paid links, after all you pay some how or some way. Either with your cash or by hours of work, or maybe you hire someone? This is something I have been thinking about for a while, then this A.M. I watch the following video.
Ok so Sage has some great points, and I don’t disagree with him. However I also understand that so many ranking sites online today are their because they s out links. I think that is what Google is really after (artificial link building).
My Video Response To Sage:
Hours later I get an email from Dave asking about how I go about securing inbound links. By this time I know I have to spend some time on the link issue. Here is a video I created that shares some ideas and tactics I have used over the years to help with link building.
Additional Linking Resources:
- My “Blogroll” Method In Detail
Super Secret Blog Linking Method To High Pr (And Ranking) Sites - Submit Your Site To Yahoo, & DMOZ (don’t except much from dmoz)
- Get Into Link Vault
Works well for sites, I build slowly and have never had a problem. - Submit Some Articles To Article Directories
Can’t hurt and the price is right
The idea is to build over time, both links and site content – understand that you can spend several weeks creating a “seedling site” which you push links to over time. When launching a new site spend half your time posting content not found else where online. Once you have a base online head over to Yahoo and pony up that $300 fee.
Spend 20% of your time posting thoughtful comments on other blogs within the same niche (blogroll method) … of course make sure you have blogrolled them prior. Do this over a month and you will secure some decent inbound links that will provide the “juice” needed. Sprinkle in some “vaultage” from the link vault network and your set. Six months later you have a money maker
Ok so their ya have it, I know a lot of you reading are into “linking” and I would like to hear what you have to say… add your comments below.
To your success …

I have been wondering your static page you have on the front are you using that just by create a page then going in the admin of wordpresss and selecting static and that page?
Then including in that static page the phpebay pro script to bring in ebay stuff?
Also do you have to sign up through cj for ebay affiliate program? Im trying to figure out where i get my aff id for ebay and their rss feeds
thanks

Yes, frontpage is a static wordpress page. I also always install “carp” which converts rss feeds into basic html. So I simply edit the static page to include the php code to pull in my own rss feed.
In order to do this you need to also run a plugin called “run php”.
Ebay = commission junction sign up … that is correct.

AH thank you very much Brian for replying.
Im all setup now, now I just have to figure out how to have it so that my PAGE title which i have for my static isn’t the same as my Meta Title
As right now i have the page title showing up as the meta title and I want the meta title to be different
I dont mind that being the case for my blog posts but for the frontpage to keep it from looking less seo

not sure my comments are going through.,. i did one comment it never went through.. strange

I went to cj and in there there is tons of ebay stuff.. do you just focus on ebay USA not the stores?
also i grabbed a link and it looked like this
“rover.ebay/rover/1/711-1751-2978-263/1?aid=10367294&pid=1364762″
what part of that am i mean to give to phpebay and i thought if you dont give it the full html cj provides your links are not properly tracked, as from what i can tell the url above has my cj id not sure if thats aid or pid and it has the ebay id.. i would have thought you needed both .. man this is confusing stuff

Dave,
In the future please try to find a post that related to your questions - this post is about Google.
For now just stay here …. Next time however …
Ok, you need to get your cj.com pid: you enter that into your php bay options settings. The pid can be found from:
CJ.com
Home | Account | Web Site Settings |
From that menu you add in each website that you promote via cj.com
Each of your websites has a pid…

I installed wordpress went to select a static page under options>read and it gives the options
Select.. have your frontpage as a static page
Then it gives 2 options
FrontPage - then in the dropdown are pages
Posts - then in the fronpage are pages
Im not sure which one i select, if i go with Frontpage and select About, should about be a Page or a post.. as if i select a page on the homepage it has for the H1 Tag
About
and its hyperlinked, I dont want it hyperlinked, is there a way to turn that off? Like if i go in to page.php and remove then it will do it for all pages?
