In doing so his scrapper visits everyone of your affiliate links and so destroys your EPC.

So how do we overcome this..

We’ll I have been making my affiliate links with javascript, this makes it a lot harder for a script that searches for links using a function like preg_match_all.

So this is howI do it..

NOTE: Replace all square brackets with appropriate angle brackets to make example work.

[script type="application/javascript"]
function doit()
{
var a=’http://’;
var b=’www.ebay’;
var c=’.com’;

var d=a+b+c;
window.location.href=d;
}
[/script]
[a href="#" onclick="doit()"]JS Click test[/a]

As you can see, the link is fired only on the “OnClick” function in Javascript. As most scrappers don’t run the JS scripts, they can see the links.

Then to overcome the preg_match_all condition, the “doit”  function breaks the links up into smaller bits and then re-assembles them at runtime.

Doing this has really help me.

Let me know if this works for you.

The videos a little bit on the simple side, but if you are new to the whole SEO game then its definitely worth checking out

See it at : http://www.chaddo.com/index.php/nolinks

The otherday I was toying with the idea of setting up a lead capture page for a local mortgage broker here in Perth Australia.

Becuase the volume of Google searches specificcally for Perth is low, the keywords that BigG gives back is not always true.

But, imagine if I could “peep” into one of the top ranking sites and see what is driving traffic for them. How valuable would that be?

Well its not actually that hard, and our old friend Alexa comes to the rescue on this one:

In the example I talk about above, I was targetting the keyword PERTH MORTGAGE. I wanted to know if more people searched for perth mortgage and than for mortgage perth

So I typed PERTH MORTGAGE into google, and saw the following :

So off I go to alexa.com and type in the domain name.

Wow.. check out those keywords. It shows that MORTGAGE PERTH is type in more offen than PERTH MORTGAGE, plus it has thrown up a few other keywords that I hadn’t considered. Now, if I repeat this for most of the sites on the front page of Google, I should have  great list of keywords and know exactly what to call my domain name and what sort of content to target.

Plus, I will naturally be checking out each sites backlinks to see where they got links from and try to get a link from those same sites to my site..

Let me know what you think about this idea..

These are white hat sites and the website owners are very happy to have your link on their site.

Still Interested ?

Ok here’s the secret..

A lot of people are constantly looking for new content to post into their sites/blogs.

And one of the more common ways of getting content into a WP blog is to join up with Uniqe Article Wizard.

This is a great service, but they have one “flaw” if you can call it that( and its not even their own fault).

So how can we capitalize on this so-called “fault” and get backlink for ourselves?

UAW sends a test post to new blogs when they first join up and most people forget to delete this test post. So all we have to do is find these test posts and compile  a huge list of blog owners that want your original content.

Simply send the author an email, asking if they want original content that is NOT in the UAW system (most will kill for unique content) and then send them the article to post when they say OK

It couldn’t be any easier !

So how do you find these UAW test posts?

We look for blog posts that look something like :

All I do is search for the text string :

“Congratulations on joining our community! The Unique Article Wizard is the best and easiest way to receive unique content for your site. Here is some important”

Click this link (it just opens up Google in a new window using the text string above) and see for yourself the websites that are returned.

So, now you have no excuse now for not getting backlinks to your website.

Let me know what you think of this idea?

Just this morning, I was updating and old ebook of mine on how people can buy high page rank domains for just $5, and I wanted to redirect them through my affiliate link.

The affiliate link is the usual CJ (commission junction) links, in other words is long and contains lots of numbers and dashes.

So I wanted to put a link that went directly to the other site.

So, lets say we want to make a redirect on this site to Godaddy, using my affiliate link.

So if sometime types in http://www.websitesecrets101.com/godaddy they get sent to godaddy.com with my affiliate code in place.

So , how do we do it.

Its easy to do, all you have to do is open up your websites .htaccess file (please note this approach does not work on Windows servers), with your favourite text editor. Notepad works just fine!

Mine looks like this :

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Its the standard WordPress .htaccess file.

No I want to make a redirect that goes directly to the affiliate site. Lets say, for this example, I want to redirect them to Goddady. It may not be your most favorite registar but lets just se it for this example.

So using the above .htaccess file, I’ll edit so that it now include the line

Redirect 301 /godaddy http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3340454-10419685

The 301 part, means that its a permant redirect, you can use 301 or 302 here.

The /godaddy bit  is the path used on this website.

The http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3340454-10419685 is the affiliate link I will send them to.

So now the full .htaccess file is :

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Redirect 301 /godaddy http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3340454-10419685
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

See how I put it just after the “RewriteBase /” line? That means it will redirect without effecting your wordpress install.

So its pretty easy to make redirects by simply modifing your .htaccess file.

“Why not give something away, in exchange for a link back”

We do if for peoples email addresses, why not for links.

It could be any product or service that you create or buy the rights to.

You could also provide a service that people on the web need in exchange for a link to whatever site you wish to promote.

I know I’m being vague here, but I will clarify with an example soon.

I would suggest you find a niche (does not have to be related to your websites topic), and find out what they want and help to solves.

Here’s an example:

There are thousands, if not millions of frustrated programmers out there. Each one has written numerous applications but does not have a clue on how to promote it.
So they start down the path that every budding programmer goes down (I did this too when I started ). You turn the software into a shareware app, and look to distribute it on the web and hope to make a killing.

The first place these people go is to software directories to submit their software.

Now.. Imagine you own a software directory.
You will let them add their software to your directory for FREE, in exchange for them giving you a one way link form their website to any site that you onw. (You make them link to any site you want, as long as they give you a link).

I use this technique myself. I own 3 directories, and these budding programmers help make content for me as well as providing an almost endless supply of one-way links.

I get anywhere between 50-150 back links to my sites everyday.

I don’t do anything for these links except have these 3 directories.

I have a rotational script so that links are diverted to whcihever site I wish to promote at the moment..

Talk about link building the easy way.

They are all 1-way links and from 1000′s of different IP addresses.

So think about giving something away for free in exchange. Its a very powerfull link building tool, and much less effort that writing and submitting 100′s of articles

To get the search engines racing across to your website, we are going to employ a technique that blogs all over the word use on a daily basis.

Pinging!

It’s a silly sounding name, but it basically means it’s a way for one website to tell another website that its content has been changed or added to.

We are going to use 3 different pinging services (both 100% FREE) that will do the job very well for us.

Make sure you have read part 1, part 2 and part 3 before reading this section

1.Ping O Matic (http://www.pingomatic.com)

Pingomatic.com was one of the original ping servers that in turn notifies about a dozen or more other web sites that a website has new or updated content on it.

2.Pingoat.com (http://www.pingoat.com)

Pingoat is a newer ping server system that does a similar job to pingomatic but does notify other sites as well.

3.Pingler.com (http://www.pingler.com)

Pingler.com is one the newest ping servers to hit the web. They ping 90+ different websites, including Google, Yahoo and MSN directly.

So let’s start with www.pingomatic.com and show how easy it is to ping a website. The others, although looking different, all work on the same principal. So if you know how to use one, you then know how to use all of them.

Say for example you have made a post of Digg.com, and you now want to ping it…

So for our example, let’s say you have just written the following post on Digg

http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Didn_t_Make_It_To_The_Inauguration_Just_Pretend_You_Did

We are only going to use this as an example, nothing else.

So we copy the full URL of the post, and head on over to pingomatic.com

Put a title in for the ping, then the full URL of the Digg post.
Leave the RSS URL blank (or the default value of http://)

Then click the services you want to use, I suggest selecting all of them, and then hit the “Send Pings” button.

Once this is complete, then move onto the next social book marking site and, as they say in the TV ads, its simply a process of “wash, rinse and repeat”.

It’s that simple.

All you are doing with this process is getting links to your website and telling the search engines to visit these links and come visit your website.

Conclusion

I have tried to make this set of blog posts as “to the point” as possible and I have discussed the methods and strategies that I regularly use to get any website I create indexed in the search engines.

Do bear in mind that sometimes the search engines can be “fickle” and not behavior normally. So sometimes you can get a site indexed with a few hours and other times it may take a few 4-5 days before it will appear.

So, all you have to remember is to:

1.Get Links to your website (I have given 35 places to get links from)
2.Ping the links
3.See how fast you can get your site indexed.

Of course, this won’t guarantee you the coveted #1 search engine position, but at least you can have your site in the search engines and working for you.

Getting a better ranking position is for another blog post.

To Your Online Success!

We need links from 5 to 10 sites. You can submit to more site if you have the time, but 5 to 10 will do nicely for now.

I’ve managed to put together a list of 35 of the best social bookmarking sites that will give you the quickest results.

So choose 5-10 sites, register an account at each of your selected sites, and post some content about your site to each site.

It doesn’t have to be a 500 word article that you write, but it must be worthy of inclusion. So aim for something between 50-150 words. Don’t go over-do the sales pitch for the site, keep in relatively low-key.

So here are the 35 sites and their PageRank as calculate in February 2009

Next, we have to get the search engines to visit your new posts and come visit your website; we are going to do this via pinging.

See part 3 for the section on how to get the search engines to these new links and then get them to your website.

To get any website indexed and listed in the search engines you need two (2) major ingredients in the recipe.
1.Having enough content on the site for the search engine to figure out what your website is about.

2. Having a way for the search engines to even find your site and decide to even bother to visit it.

Make sure you have read Part 1 of this guide before readining this part.

Part 1:
I’m not going to go into a detailed explanation of website content, but I just want to say that your website must have enough text content, with your main keywords spread through the text.

Remember search engines can’t read images and videos. So a website with lots of pictures/videos on it and very little text will rarely if ever get indexed and appear in the search engines. So make sure you have enough text based content on your site.

Part 2:
This is the area that this post covers.

The best way for a search engine to find your site is via a link on another site -  preferably a website with high authority that gets visited by the search engines regularly – if possible dozens of times a day.

Then we need to tell the search engines to visit the links on these authority sites and then they will visit your site.

So this is how we are going to do this:

1.Get  5 to 10 one-way links on high PR social bookmarking sites (I’ll show you which ones)
2.Tell the search engines to visit these links , by pinging the links on the sites
3.Watch your site get indexed in the search engines in the next few days!!

It’s that easy, so let me show you which sites to get links from and how to ping your sites.

I’ll cover that bit part 3..

Read part 1 here first

You just spend days and days creating a great new website. You’ve agonized over the graphics. Checked the spelling and grammar of the site a dozen times and the site is now finished.

So you sit back and wait for the search engines to visit your website and start ranking your website in their listings.

After a day or so, you decide to check if the search engines have indexed your site.
So you decide to test Google first.

You type the following command into your web browser:

Site: yourdomain.com

And check the number of pages it shows up.

NOTHING!!So you wait a few more days, and do the test again.

Still nothing!!

A couple of weeks go past and still nothing!
You are now getting seriously dejected and want to give up on the site altogether.

All that work, time, effort and money invested all completely wasted.

It doesn’t have to be like that!

There’s no secret to getting a site indexed in the shortest possible time, you just have to do the right steps at the right time and things fall into place.

It’s a lot like making a cake.

If you don’t have all the ingredients mixed together in the correct sequence, with the correct quantities of each ingredient, you may or may not get a cake at the end…

But if you followed the recipe as written down, then at the end of the baking process you will have a cake.

Getting a website indexed is almost exactly the same.

So let’s get started …
