Building Internet Traffic & SEO Tips

Backlinking is a very important part of gaining SEO love. One way to get a lot of good backlinks is to write articles that others will post to their websites.  This could be a lot of work to try and find websites and blog owners willing to post your content. Far too much time to do it manually.

The solution is to join a place that has thousands of people who own blogs that want your articles. AMA and LinkVine are the two places that offer this solution. They both cost $47.00, but they are not equal. Not in my opinion. I have tried both. I use AMA.

AMA stands for Article Marketing Automation.

They both allow you to submit your articles to be published to other peoples blogs. Most people will spin their articles and then submit them for publishing. Each article has up to three links in them, however, most articles do not have any type of resource box so it looks as though the article was written by the owner of the website. Or a registered contributor.

There are pros and cons to article spinning. The pro is that each article will be spun into a different version and this helps the blog owners avoid duplicate content. In addition that adds a nice backlink to the article writer.

The con is that many people use article spinners and they do not pay attention to the quality of the content after it is spun. I personally will only use an article spinner to help me come up with ideas, but I do not allow the article to be spun without any proof reading.

This is where I found AMA a better option. Almost every article that I was receiving from LinkVine was horribly spun content. Articles that reside on my blogs need to make sense. Even if the content of the blog is not full of spectacular articles, I still want them to make sense. And I want my readers to actually find value in them.

If you do decide to use an Article publishing program like AMA or LinkVine, I highly recommend that you do NOT automatically accept any article.  Far too many articles can sneak in that are either incredible poor content, make little sense, or in some cases the articles are duplicates that have been resubmitted using different titles and categories.

Typically I have seen my articles will receive a 85 to 95% acceptance rate even when they are only spun at 40%. I believe this is probably because they are actually well written articles.

However, articles that are spun at 200% most times receive 100% acceptance. To get your articles to be as high as 200% you’ll need each sentence to be written 2 to 3 times.

TIPS FOR SPINNING

When you are spinning your articles there are a few things you can do to generate even more variety in your articles.

1. Sentence variety.

Example:

Sentence version 1  -  The little boy was swimming in the murky water.

Sentence version 2 -  On this hot day in May a small child was playing in a nearby creek. He was really having a good time.

Notice in the first version there is one short sentence. In the second version there are actually two sentences and they are longer then the first.

Paragraph Structure

In AMA you can create inner spinning. Too much to explain here, they have a pdf tutorial on their site. However, let me show you how you can very a paragraph in such a way that it adds even more variety to each spin.

Paragraph version 1:

If you are planning a trip to Hawaii in the summer, be sure to bring your camera, a big towel, and some shorts.

Paragraph version 2:

When you travel to Hawaii, it’s a good idea to have the following items:

1. A water proof camera
2. A nice big fluffy beach towel
3. Some swim trunks

Lastly, you can take one paragraph and make three version of it. One version is short. One version is very long. And another version has bulleted points or an example or some type of variety that is far different from the other two.

Using an article marketing program like AMA is a wonderful way to build backlinks over time. In addition AMA will show you the results of your submissions. You’ll learn how many people accepted your articles and in a few weeks time you’ll receive some data on where your keywords are ranking in Google.

More ways to obtain quality backlinks coming soon.

Yesterday I found this pretty nice bit of information. The more research I did the more I realized it would be something I could monetize. The problem was … I really had no idea how to do that.

People are so skeptical today, and they really should be. Imagine getting a phone call from someone saying, “Hi, my name is Joe and I found $7,000 of unclaimed money in your name.”

<<click>>

Of course that approach would probably not work. Too bad because if there was a way I could get a percentage of the unclaimed funds I’d start making phone calls. Lots of money out there just sitting and collecting dust.

I finally decided to share the information with people via video in order to encourage them to join the newsletter on the blog that contains financial resources.

There are several ways this video is going to help me.

1. It will drive traffic to my site directly from Youtube, Metacafe etc…

2. It will encourage people to join my newsletter by building trust in what I have to say because I just shared with them one pretty awesome tip.

3. Other people will place my video on their blogs and I’ll get more traffic.

The more traffic I get, the more Adsense I’ll earn, plus I have several affiliate programs and CPA offers I’m testing out.

What’s the point?

When you find something valuable, don’t be afraid to share it with people freely. This is what the wealthy affiliates are doing when they launch their new products. They share some really great tips for free and give you more if you join their newsletter.

Then they continue to give you more free tips in order to entice you to buy their product. This works very well.

If you’re wondering about unclaimed money that may be in your name, just go to Google and type in the keyword search term ,unclaimed money plus your state. It’s as easy as that. Some states have a really poor database and you won’t be able to look up that information online. However, there are plenty of stats where you can find this information quite easily.

In just 15 minutes I found over $10,000 of unclaimed money, including death benefits from what I think is from my grandmother that passed away years ago. It’s amazing how much money is unclaimed. I saw quite a few people in just one list that included my maiden name with over $5,000 in their name unclaimed.

I’m pretty sure people are going to enjoy that video and tell others about it. I’m hoping it goes viral. Maybe it won’t, but there are places that charge $39.00 for the information I just put on a video for free.

I have to get my newsletter for this blog up and running before I can upload the video. I’ll let you know how well the video does and if it helps my overall traffic and profits on that site.
