These are the three ultimate and major ways to find out if a
web site is a good quality site.
Good quality site means a site with a lot of targeted traffic.
4. Link Popularity- The best and most accurate way to look for
a website link popularity is through the search engines themselves.
Link popularity means how many links are sent to a specific site.
Link popularity is NOT the number of affiliates to a site, but
it is the number of links to a web site. Sometimes one affiliate
can send more than 100 links to a specific web site (this is a
very extreme situation but it can happen. The average is between
2 to 15 links)
A site with a high link popularity is considered a good
quality site with a lot of traffic.
Sometimes Specific web sites can show you low Alexa ranking and
low link popularity, but still they can Play an important role
in sending good, massive, quality and targeted Traffic to you.
The reason is These sites are located at the top of the
search engines on a specific keyword search that is related to
your industry.
The top 15 sites on a specific search engine are usually the
best.
Sometimes the Joint venture between the sites is through a link
exchange agreement and not an affiliation agreement. I have prepared
a special letter for Internet marketers who are looking for a
link exchange kind of Joint venture.
Link exchange is a very powerful FREE promotion to your site,
please do not underestimate it.
Get started right now:
1. Compile a list of "keywords" that your visitors and
prospects use when they type their search into the various search
engines.
2. Type every keyword into all major search engines.
3. For each keyword search, write down which sites already have
the top listings and visitors that you need.
4. Next contact the webmasters of the sites that you found so
you can get free advertising on their sites by offering reciprocal
links. The beauty of this process is that it is absolutely FREE
and you can profit from tons of traffic.
I'm confident that your time is as valuable as mine. And because
you know how much your sales
can benefit from traffic and direct sales that link from the top-ranking
sites.
Background Information: How Links Can Generate Your Targeted
Traffic
It is very important that you understand how powerful links are
for your web site traffic. Links are the lifeline for your site.
Now let's take Home Depot, Yahoo.com, and eBay. These corporate
icons have made their businesses ACCESSIBLE/ VISIBLE. They gained
their brand identity by linking and being strategically located
for the American public.
So how does this apply to your online business?
The Internet was created for a vast matrix of information. Through
this information, sites are
supposed to be linked like a web of data. In other words, your
web site is not just an address on the Internet. It's a place
and location where other companies can link to you and direct
their traffic to you and vice versa.
By creating links and creating cross promotions, for your online
business, it establishes CREDIBILITY and ACCESIBILITY for more
targeted traffic.
Why does your site need credibility?
Sixty-five percent of all sale decisions are based on trust.
For instance, if you are shopping for the best mortgage rate,
would you trust just any online mortgage site? How comfortable
would you feel entering your personal data? However, if one of
your friends highly RECOMMENDED the web site or maybe a website
that you are a regular at directs you to a particular site, you
would feel like the website was CREDIBLE.
This is what happens when people stumble onto your site. Without
the recommendation or cross- links of other sites, we have a tendency
to question the credibility of an online business.
In other words, your web site presence should include more than
pretty photos, and outstanding products and services. Regardless
of how attractive your site is, if you're not getting the traffic
and business...it just doesn't matter.
The breakthrough of this strategy is so powerful because your
online business will have the selling atmosphere for streams of
perpetual potential consumers -- from everywhere. Search engines
gage rankings based on link popularity. Your profits will literally
skyrocket once you implement this link-infrastructure strategy.
NOTE: If you want increased traffic to your site, link popularity
is the key to earning top rankings in the major search engines.
My objective is for you to get the most success out of targeted
traffic to your site.
But your objective is making a connection.
If you have the potential for doing business, with "big wigs",
it is best that you directly contact the
website owner. This way you can establish a level of trust and
rapport.
It's really misfortunate how many people scoff at this technology.
But at the same token, it makes
it that much better for people like you and me, who see how simply
yet highly effective it is.
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that your web site will
get a steady stream of
traffic in just two days. Theoretically, the process ranges between
3 weeks to 7 months in time span. And with your commitment and
diligence, your reward will command crazy traffic and drastically
enhanced sales.
SPAMMING
As we all know, spamming is illegal and it can shut down your
site. I'm not trying to scare you but you just need to keep this
in mind.
HOW TO AVOID SPAMMING The most full-proof way to avoid spamming
is to:
1.) Find the web site owner's first name and to put his name
in the email of your query letter
The best site for searching for a web sites owner name is to
go to this link and find it http://www.coolwhois.com
2.) At the beginning of the letter include the name of the company,
address, City ,
State/Province and phone number .
In the body of your email, always include the URL of the web
site you are requesting do get a link, or partnership with. Therefore,
the letter will be deemed personalized versus general "Spam"
or junk mail.
With that said, let's get started...
Step #1:
Type your contact's e-mail address in the "To" field.
To: <e-mail address>
Step #2: Type subject line into the subject line field of your
e-mail letter that you're sending:
Subject: Interchange links
Step #3: In the body of your email message, copy and paste the
following letter message:
