Link Building

Link Building 101
By Jason Storm (c) 2008

Two of the three big search engines (Google and Yahoo) place a large importance on one way links to determine rankings. Each link to your site is like a vote and the more votes you have, the higher you will rank.

In this article I will be sharing with you some important info on link building and some strategies to help your one way link building.

Before we get started, it's important to understand the fundamentals...

Beginning with the very basics, a link is a way of navigating from one webpage to another. An 'internal link' is a link within the same website. An 'external link' takes you from a webpage in one website to a webpage in another website. The term 'backlink' means when another website links to yours.

Use Web CEO for Capturing the Number 1 Position in Google!

There are 4 different types of links:

* URL Link - This is simply a website url that is a link.

* Text Links (aka static links) - This is the most common type of link (when you click on a word or phrase and it is a link)

* Image Links - An image link is simply an image that you click on to navigate to another webpage.

* Dynamic Links - These types of links are in another programming language called Javascript and while they also take you from one webpage to another, they have 'extra codes' to perform special functions.

(these types of links can appear in many different forms)

It is important to be able to recognize these types of links, even if you are not familiar with web design and programming. You don't have to memorize the codes, just learn to identify each type of link.

Links provide navigation for human visitors and for 'spiders' (aka: crawlers, robots, bots). Simply put, a spider is a computer program that goes to websites and gathers information. Search engines use spiders to visit and 'index' your website. This means that they gather information about your site in order to líst it in their search results.

When the search engine spiders index your website, they follow the links to get from one webpage to another. It's important to know that search engines cannot follow 'dynamic links' and do not follow html links that have a special code in them that says 'no follow'.

The place where 'no follow' is commonly found is in the "meta tags" section of the website. Simply put, meta tags are information that is for the spiders only and is not seen by human visitors. You can see the code for any website in your browser by choosing 'view source'. (From Internet Explorer, choose Page > View Source. From Firefox choose View > Page Source)

Give Your Site a Voice!

If a search engine spider cannot follow a link from another website to yours, you can still receive visitors but the link will not have any value from a search engine optimization perspective.

What types of links should you get?

There are 2 types of links that you can get:

* One-way links - A one-way link is when another website links to you and you don't link back to them.

* Reciprocal links - A reciprocal link is when a website links to you and you link back to them.

One-way links are more valuable in the eyes of the search engines. However, each link has its own individual value based on: how relevant it is to your site, the text in and around the link, how much authority the website that links to you has, etc.

Also, it's important to know that you can get links that have 'no value' in the eyes of the search engines, but they bring you hundreds or thousands of targeted visitors...

Generally speaking, the more websites that link to you the better. However, building links takes time and energy and if you focus on getting 'high-quality links', you will get a bigger return on your investment. 50 high quality links can be much more valuable from a search engine optimization perspective than 1000 'low quality links'.

What's a high quality link? - Links that brings you Page Reputation (which shows the search engines that other related websites consider you to be important), and links that give you PageRank. Sometimes both at once, sometimes not...

To get high rankings on your website, you want to obtain links for targeted keywords. For this reason it's necessary to start with Keyword Research.

Forget Expensive PPC Advertising - There is an Alternative!

If your website is about "bird watching", the first step is to 'do keyword research' and find out which keyword you should aim for. While you could just start getting text links for the keyword phrase "bird watching", if no one is searching for that - you won't get any visitors. There's no sense in ranking on the first page for a keyword that no one is looking for.

Or, if there is a lot of competition for that keyword, you might want to pick a "lower hanging fruit".

Another important part is making sure your page is optimized for the keyword you are targeting. If you are focused on building one way links to your site but the links have anchor text which doesn't even appear on your page, you will likely be wasting your time. (I say likely assuming that you have some competition for your targeted keywords, if there is no competition then it doesn't matter).

In this case a site that has fewer one way links but much better on-page optimization is likely to rank higher. Or maybe you are building one way links to your site but they are just url links and not anchor-text links. Another site that has less links than you but better quality (anchor-text) will be likely to rank higher.

Ideally, you want to build a lot of one way links that have anchor text which includes the primary and secondary keywords that your page is optimized for. Google also uses Latent Semantic Indexing which (in a nutshell) means that they study the synonyms of the keywords on your page. This is to prevent spammers from just loading every second word with their keywords. Their algorithm looks at all the words on your page and how they relate to each other.

So, there's no sense in building one way links if your content is not worthwhile. You want to optimize your pages for your visitors first. Then, you can go through and "sprinkle" your keywords. Then, go out and get one way links with the anchor-text of your targeted keywords, ideally getting most of these links from websites that are related to yours.

Yes, Google also looks at the relationship between your website's content and the websites that link to your content. Fewer links to your business site from other business sites will be more valuable link-wise than more links coming to you from a site about video games..

Don't make these link building mistakes:

* Don't spend all your time getting one way links from sites with no Page Rank. One or two links from related Page Rank 5+ sites can be worth more than 100 links from sites with no PR.

* Be careful about buying links or you can get banned. Especially be careful about Site Wide links. If your website only has a few backlinks one day and the next day you have hundreds, Google will see this and penalize you.

* Don't spend all your time building one way links that are url-links, you want to get anchor-text links.

* Make sure the links you get are actually worth something, don't get "No-Follow" links.

Happy Link Building!

Contributing Factors For Google SEO

2008-07-07T15:48:00.001+01:00

Top 20 Contributing
Factors For Google SEO
By Jon Bergan (c) 2008

Websites are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways of advertising. Whether it be a business, its product or service or something completely different, everyone of all ages is turning to the web as a method of getting their message out there. With the popularity of this marketing medium increasing and the number of websites always growing, it is obvious that everyone wants to appear at the top of Google's search engine rankings. Achieving such a task is not an easy feat, however with a bit of perseverance, one can definitely improve their chances of reaching that glorious first page result.
The Web's Most Comprehensive News Source!

Given that there is a heap of websites out there who are on the first page, what is their secret? It is a little industry term called "SEO" and it stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO basically consists of the customization of your website, its content and its internal and external links to assist in the overall indexing and ranking of your website in popular search engines. There are many contributing factors that are used in determining a website's ranking and every search engine is different. This makes trying to optimize your site for Google, Yahoo, Live and the many others quite a painstaking task.

As most of us are aware, Google is currently the most popular search engine for the majority of Internet users. As such, it is only normal that we'd want to focus our sights on achieving a higher ranking within Google first with the hope that the rest will follow. To do this, we must start a journey that could potentially take months before we start seeing any real change, however we have to start somewhere.

Our journey begins by defining some of the key contributing factors that Google uses to determine a website's and webpage's ranking within its results. These factors range from keyword use to manipulating internal and external links and the líst goes on. To get you started, we have listed the top twenty factors that you should focus on in order to help get your website that little bit closer to the top of the search engine results listings.

Keyword Use Factors

The following components relate to the use of search query terms in determining the rank of a particular page.

1. Keyword Use in Title Tag - Placing the targeted search term or phrase in the title tag of the web page's HTML header.

2. Keyword Use in Body Text - Using the targeted search term in the visible, HTML text of the page.

3. Relationship of Body Text Content to Keywords - Topical relevance of text on the page compared to targeted keywords.

4. Keyword Use in H1 Tag - Creating an H1 tag with the targeted search term/phrase.

5. Keyword Use in Domain Name & Page URL - Including the targeted term/phrase in the registered domain name, i.e. keyword.com plus target terms in the webpage URL, i.e. seomoz.org/keyword-phrase.

Page Attributes

The following elements comprise how Google interprets specific data about a webpage independent of keywords.

6. Link Popularity within the Site's Internal Link Structure - Refers to the number and importance of internal links pointing to the target page.

7. Quality/Relevance of Links to External Sites/Pages - Do links on the page point to high quality, topically-related pages?

8. Age of Document - Older pages may be perceived as more authoritative while newer pages may be more temporarily relevant.

9. Amount of Indexable Text Content - Refers to the literal quantity of visible HTML text on a page.

10. Quality of the Document Content (as measured algorithmically) - Assuming search engines can use text, visual or other analysis methods to determine the validity and value of content, this metric would provide some level of rating.

Site/Domain Attributes

The factors below contribute to Google's rankings based on the site/domain on which a page resides.

11. Global Link Popularity of Site - The overall link weight/authority as measured by links from any and all sites across the web (both link quality and quantity).

12. Age of Site - Not the date of original registration of the domain, but rather the launch of indexable content seen by the search engines (note that this can change if a domain switches ownership).

13. Topical Relevance of Inbound Links to Site - The subject-specific relationship between the sites/pages linking to the target page and the target keyword.
Forget Expensive PPC Advertising - There is an Alternative!

14. Link Popularity of Site in Topical Community - The link weight/authority of the target website amongst its topical peers in the online world.

15. Rate of New Inbound Links to Site - The frequency and timing of external sites linking in to the given domain.

Inbound Link Attribute

These pieces affect Google's weighting of links from external websites pointing to a page and ultimately will assist in the ranking of that page.

16. Anchor Text of Inbound Link.

17. Global Link Popularity of Linking Site.

18. Topical Relationship of Linking Page.

19. Link Popularity of Site in Topical Community - The link weight/authority of the target website amongst its topical peers in the online world.

20. Age of Link.

Negative Crawling/Ranking Attributes

There are also some points we should make before you start getting your hands dirty. With any type of SEO marketing, there are some things that can actually have a negative impact on your ranking. These following components may negatively affect a spider's ability to crawl a page or its rankings at Google.

* Server is Often Inaccessible to Bots.

* Content Very Similar or Duplicate of Existing Content in the Index.

* External Links to Low Quality/Spam Sites.

* Duplicate Title/Meta Tags on Many Pages.

* Overuse of Targeted Keywords (Stuffing/Spamming).

It's now time to get busy! Start prioritizing your tasks, modifying your content and building your internal and external links to meet some of the above guidelines. Keep in mind that improving indexing is mostly a technical task and improving ranking is mostly a business/marketing strategy. What might work now may not work in the future and finally, it takes time. Loads of time. Still, with a bit of trial and error and a good dose of persistence, you can achieve the search engine ranking you're after.

How To Build Backlinks via Google Alerts

How To Build
Backlinks via Google Alerts
By Titus Hoskins (c) 2008

Building backlinks is an essential, yet tedious job for most webmasters. Here are a few tools and tips to make that job just a little bit easier...

I am a member of many online forums. Most of these forums have to do with online marketing and site promotion. Recently, I came across a post on Ken Evoy's SBI forum that truly caught my attention.
A Social Community for Webmasters!

It basically described how to use Google Alerts to build your backlinks. Now for those not familiar with Google Alerts a little explanation is probably needed.

Google Alerts

Google Alerts is a free program run by Google that allows you to keep track of any topic on the web. You select your "keywords" or "urls" and Google will alert you via email whenever links/ content containing your selected topics appear anywhere on the web.

It is an excellent way to keep informed about your domain or name. It is also perfect for keeping up-to-date on the latest information in your market niche or niches. It's also a great way to find out what other people are saying about you or your site.

For example: if you have a site on "antique cars" then you would create a Google Alert for those keywords. Google will alert you by email whenever a new link/content related to those keywords appears on the web.

This is a great way to stay informed in your niche, but it is also a valuable source of potential linking partners. Many of those links are blogs that will allow comments with a link back to your site.

Google Alerts will probably send you 10-20 links each day, depending on the popularity of your chosen keywords. Just go to these blogs/links and see if you can leave a comment with some valuable additional information on what's been discussed.

Don't Spam

Please Note: Don't spam; there are intelligent people behind most of these blogs, and they will recognize keyword spam when they see it. Your main goal should be getting targeted traffíc back to your site and any link PR should be secondary. Always put the reader or viewer first, especially if it's on someone else's site. Don't talk about your site or your marketing - just join the conversation and add your comments/opinions/suggestions...
Get Search Engine Rankings You Can Be Proud Of!

Enhance their site and they will reward you with traffic and a link. But you still have to keep your interests in the equation! You have to make sure you get your targeted keywords in the anchor text.

Keyword Market

First, if you've done your homework, your main keywords should already be in your domain name or url. Another way is to add your "keywords" + "guide" to your sig or signature. Such as: Name, Your Antique Cars Guide. If you're an expert in your particular niche, many webmasters will kindly welcome your comments and links.

Since your main goal is the traffic, many webmasters don't worry if there is a "no follow" attribute attached to the link. But if you are concerned about this - one way is to look at the source code to see if it has the "no follow" tag. I usually copy the whole source code of the page to my text editor and then do a simple "no follow" search.

No Follow

There is also a great little free comment tool called "Comment Kahuna" co-created by Jason Potash which will search blogs and tell you if they have the "no-follow" attribute or not, it will also give you the PageRank of each blog post. If you're going to use blogs as a source of your backlinks, I suggest you try Comment Kahuna - it will make the task much easier and it's free.

Actually, while the "no-follow" issue may be a concern for some webmasters, the savvy ones will realize these are links/sites Google is actively indexing and spidering, otherwise you wouldn't get the alert in the first place. You must get your links into this whole mix of related, relevant sites to help raise your rankings. Also remember the other search engines may not even consider the "no-follow" tag.

Trackbacks

Likewise, creating trackbacks are another way of linking relevant content. Keep in mind, a trackback is simply an acknowledgement via a ping signal that is sent from Site A (originator) to Site B (receptor). Then the receptor often places a link back to Site A showing its worthiness.
Forget Expensive PPC Advertising - There is an Alternative!

Again, I am mainly concerned with the quality of the blog or link, rather than the linking structure. I want the targeted traffíc, and it doesn't really matter whether the link has "no follow" because interested visitors only see a link they can click for other helpful information.

Other Linking Options

Since we are on the topic of link building, another useful way to build backlinks is to use Google Search or Google Blog search. Now if you're looking for niche-related blogs just type in:

"(Keywords)" "powered by (blog scripts)"

For example, if you're looking for some "antique cars" related links on WordPress blogs, you would search for:

"antique cars" "powered by wordpress"

And Google would give you a whole líst of sites on antique cars.

Now if you want to find the links that will allow comments, just repeat the Google search with:

"antique cars" "powered by wordpress" "leave a comment" -"no comments"

Remember the "-" means posts that have no comments will not be displayed.

If you're concerned with PageRank, Number of Backlinks, Alexa Ranking... of particular posts you can download and install the SEOQuake plugin. This handy SEO plugin can be attached to your browser and will give you helpful SEO information on the link or links you're viewing.

Used in conjunction with Google, it can sort thru all these blog posts and give you the ones with the highest PR? Highest traffic? Highest number of backlinks? The more knowledge you have, the easier and more effective your link building will become.

Just remember, finding quality backlinks is probably the most tedious job for most webmasters. It takes time and it takes patience. By using Google Alerts you can have relevant keyword related links emailed to you each day. Use this information to help build your backlinks in relevant related niches. Do this consistently over a period of time and your site will get noticed and ranked higher.

The unique thing about the PIPS programme, is that the initial cost to you is practically zero apart from the cost of your Domain Name and Hosting. This is your only requirement when joining. You must purchase both your domain name and hosting through Host4Profit.

On completion of your registration, you are given a Taylor Made web site assigned to your domain name and which is uploaded to Host4profit. The web site comes pre-loaded with a number of affiliate programmes so the web site is immediately capable of earning a revenue.

This is not a get rich quick programme (if you can find one of those that work, please let me know) so you now have a bit of work to do.

If I Had A Blog, I Could Make Money On Line

2008-05-05T09:08:00.015+01:00

I started my on line business venture just over two months ago- see my site here. During that time, I have realised that a good professional looking web site is only part of the story. You need to get traffic to it and part of that process is having a blog associated with your site. The beauty of the idea of a blog, is it doesn't cost you anything and can earn you a substantial income in it's own right.

Probably the easiest and cheapest way of starting an on line home business, is to simply get a Blog. You may already have one, but if not you can get one free from Blogger.com or Wordpress.

Did you know, that within your blog, you can advertise goods or services. Don't worry if you don't have goods or services to offer, you can register for an affiliate account with one of the many affiliate programmes out there. By far the most popular is Clickbank CLICK HERE to sign up. There is no charge to become an affiliate with clickbank and you can get commissions by advertising other peoples goods and services. When someone clicks on a link in your blog and makes a purchase.you get paid.

Another way of making money with your blog, is by displaying google adverts on your pages. When someone clicks on an ad, you get paid! It's that simple. You need to register with Google Adsense to do this and again there is no cost to you. Caution though, before applying for an Adsense account, make sure you have your blog up and running as google will check before issuing you with a publisher account. The process can take few days before google advise you.

In addition to the above, you can search the Internet for other free affiliate programmes to promote their goods and services.

Once you have your blog up and running with all your affiliate links in place, the only thing you need to worry about, is traffic, visitors to your blog. Without these, you may as well not have a blog at all. If you already have a blog, then you have a head start. But for those of you who will be starting from scratch, one of the first things you need to do apart from making posts in your blog, is submit your blog to search engines in order that they may index them for search results. So the more posts you have in your blog, the greater your chance of organic visitors. The more interesting your posts, the greater the chance your visitors will return.

Free Search Engine Submission

Organic visitors, are visitors that come by your site as a result of searching the web. The more of these you get the better as they do not cost you anything. Unfortunately, it takes time to get your blog indexed so you can't expect to get visitors overnight. There is however, an option that you may wish to take to promote your blog in the early stages
and that is to advertise it on the web.

There are several ways in which you can do this, but by far the most popular is through Google Adwords. Using Google Adwords is likely to be your first expense as you have to pay google every time someone visits your blog as a direct result of clicking on one of your ads. It need not be a huge expense, you can start off with a low budget and set the maximum you wish to pay per click. The beauty of Adwords, is that you can also target your ads to any country you like. All this is explained in the Adwords set up pages.

Another method of getting Free visitors is by using companies like "Traffic Swarm". This is a very popular site which costs nothing to join but you can get a load of free visitors from it by placing free ads. I say free ads, but it does require some time element, in as much as you pay for your ads to appear by means of credits. You can either buy credits, or earn them simply by browsing their site. Every time you click on one of the ads in their site, you get awarded credits which you use to purchase your ads. Very clever.

There are more options for getting visitors to your blog, the majority of which you have to pay for, but I would not recommend that at this stage, as some of the visitors you pay for may not be targeted to your niche.

If you find yourself wondering what products or services to promote or you need advice, then we recommend that you join The Warrior Forum.. the help and advice you get from there is first class.

http://www.warriorforum.com/

Now that you have your own on line Home Business up and running the only real cost to you will be the time it takes you to make the posts to your blog, which incidentally, we recommend you do daily. The more content you have, the sooner you will see organic visitors.

If you plan to pay to promote your blog or join other affiliate programmes which cost you money, you MUST SET a BUDGET and STICK TO IT, otherwise the commissions you earn in the early stages will get eaten up.

2008-05-03T12:35:00.009+01:00

Getting traffic to your web site is key to your on line success. I keep getting told this and it's true.

If you spend a fortune on building your web site and joining various programmes, it will be money wasted unless you can get traffic (visitors) to your web site.

One of the ways I am told, to improve search engine rankings is to add a "site map".

What's a site map?

As a newbie to all this, I had to find out more about the subject and quickly learnt that a site map is basically a list of all the links embedded in your web site which will enable easy navigation by any visitor. It is also something the search engines use when crawling your site to index your pages. This is one of the most important things you need to ensure high page rankings.

As I have a low budget, I searched the web for any free trials etc. and came up with this site:

The programme is totally free and requires no download. You just enter your sites url and it generates the site map for you. Not only does it generate a site map in xml format but also in various other formats to enable you to submit it to various search engines.

I did all this with my site http://www.2nd-income.biz and submitted the xml file to google.
Then I looked at the text format file and found to my horror, that practically all my pages had the same title. Not much use as a site map for my site visitors!

If you remember, in an earlier post, I mentioned I had had my site SEO'd. It transpires, that the SEO service I paid for, was for the index.html page only:( so now I have to revisit my site and SEO all my other pages.

If I hadn't used the programme at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/I would never have known and been wondering why I am still not getting a page rank.

Thank you XML.

SFI upgrade to Executive Affiliate

2008-05-01T17:20:00.003+01:00

Part of the Stone Evans programme is a free affiliate registration with SFI and this is embedded into my site at 2nd-income.biz. To date, SFI has been my greatest success in terms of the number of referals made by me to SFI and on which I will earn a commission. However, SFI have a number of different levels on which you can earn commission on all sales made by your down line (the people you referred)
The next level up, is Executive Affiliate and you can become an EA, either by referring a qualifying number within a given period or you can buy your position by purchasing one of SFI's products yourself. This is what I did. I purchased a tailor made web site (in fact 3 sites) and hosting which you can change to suit yourself. You can see the sites here and here and also here if you would like to. Untouched by me so far.
In case your wondering, the site and hosting costs me $30 per month. This ensures I keep my EA position and guarantees my commissions at a higher level.

It seems that my on line empire is growing.

Spider Web Marketing System

2008-04-30T19:28:00.002+01:00

The Spider Web system is still in beta and they have had a few problems with the automated blog. I am assured this is close to being resolved and will now be a more powerful application! I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

The system itself however is working fine and I have 10 new referals....this can only mean money for me :~)

2008-04-26T08:54:00.004+01:00

This is the opportunity I was talking about in my earlier post. I am waiting for my automated blog to go live and will post a link to it on here as soon as possible. In the meantime, why don't you take a look at the site yourself? It's a 100% free and worth every minute of your time. That's my opinion anyway.

A new marketing opportunity has come my way!

2008-04-23T20:09:00.002+01:00

Since my last post, I have again been busy with my 2nd income site and have seen an increase in visitors and additionally, signed up a further 2 affiliates.

I have promised myself to try and learn HTML to enable me to make changes to my web site.

Out of curiosity, I viewed an article on Qassia, which had a link to another opportunity. The introduction video was quite lengthy but I was amazed at the claims made that I felt compelled to join. I am not a gullible person and believe the potential of this opportunity to be enormous and incredibly, with little or no outlay. I am in the process of setting everything up within this opportunity and will post links to it very soon.......you have to see it to believe it. It really has great potential.

I have been busy

2008-04-19T20:18:00.002+01:00

Over the last week, I have been busy writing articles (you can see highlights on here in left column) and posting in various forums and had my web site SEO'd. Quite a busy week really, although I feel I need to pay more attention to my blog.

Oh and most importantly, I have just added 2 new affiliates to my programme.

I still do not have a page rank in Google, but I am sure that will happen soon.

Finding this to be a big learning curve

2008-04-08T19:43:00.003+01:00

Since my last post, I have noticed my site visitors have levelled off and I need to drastically increase the numbers if I am to be successful.

Having taken advice from fellow PIPS site affiliates, I have been exploring ways of increasing the traffic. These include this blog, writing articles and SEO. I have also subscribed to a couple of free traffic generators. I won't advertise these yet, as I need to see what results I get from them if any.

Time will tell.

Inspired by a recent article, I decided to find out.

If I can do it, Anyone Can

My name is Graham and I have recently joined the millions of people on line hoping to make not so much a fortune, but a comfortable living and hopefully retire early through my efforts, although my retirement is only a few years away anyway. I am 59 yrs old.

Is it possible to do so? I hear you ask.
Well I firmly believe it is and was inspired by articles and advice given by Stone Evans, “the home biz guy” so much so, I felt compelled to try my luck. After all, I have nothing to lose by trying and yet everything to gain.
For some years, I had been hooked on online gambling, poker to be precise. Every month I would buy in to these poker sites in the hope that I would someday come out winning. Sometimes I did, but more often than not I lost and had to re buy in to keep playing. Poker cost me my marriage. I continued to play even more, now living on my own. Then inevitably I ran out of money. I had no money to neither play poker with, nor buy cigarettes (my only vice) and realised at that point there must be another way of getting extra income but without the gamble, but how? Another factor for me was boredom! If I wasn’t playing poker what could I do with my time? That’s when I decided to research the Internet and came across Stone Evans.

Everything Stone Evans says is true, if you have the motivation, you will succeed.

With the free web site he provided (take a look 2nd-income.biz) and a small fee for the domain name and hosting at Host4Profit you could let the system run itself and wait for the rewards to come into your bank account. Personally, I prefer to tailor the free site to my preferences. You can spend as little or as much as you like doing this. Stone gives step-by-step instruction on the best methods to use for generating income and setting up your site. Some can cost you a small fee but ultimately, the biggest cost to yourself is time if you choose the route I have chosen.

There is a wealth of help on the member’s forum, which is where I would recommend everyone to go before doing anything else to his or her site. There are free e Books you can download with even more help and ideas. The best one is ‘Dotcomology’ by Stone Evans. You can download it free at my site if you wish.

For any internet business to work, you need traffic, visitors to your site. This is the big secret to success. You can have an all singing and dancing site and spend thousands developing it, but what use is it if you don’t have visitors. Stone Evans covers all this in his 30 days to success course and methods of generating the traffic you need. All this and more, Free when you get your new web site, which is also Free. You can’t lose!

I have had my new site for just over 2 weeks now and I am already seeing financial rewards.

My advice? Take the gamble out of gambling and Join the Internet revolution. The world is your oyster!!

If like me, you become inspired by Stone Evans articles, I wish you Good Luck and every success on your road to financial freedom.

I’ll keep you informed on my progress.
