Obtaining reciprocal links.

What we are talking here is about Reciprocal links, for many of you i need not to tell what they are and how important they are actually for a website's popularity and ranking indeed, but for those who have recently come across this term let me explain them what it actually is:

Reciprocal link is actually a mutual link between two websites to ensure mutual traffic exchange and indeed help each other to build a page rank too, it is a mutual agreement between two webmasters to place a hyperlink on their own respective websites to other's website.

What i want to tell you all here is, we generally confuse this term with backlinks or inbound links but actually its different in many ways from backlinks. For details regarding backlinks you can checkout my posts and you will find one on backlinks also there in that post i have expalined everything about backlinks. What we need to understand is that a reciprocal link is a backlink but a backlink is not a reciprocal link so when you will be making a list of all the backlinks (which indeed affect your google ranking) that you have you should also include all your reciprocal links but when you count all your reciprocal links, counting your backlinks in it would not be considered a valid count.

Now coming back to the topic, i would really like to talk very clearly here that in earlier days reciprocal links were a huge deciding factor in one's page rank but slowly and gradually as search engines like google and yahoo are constantly improving with their new and better searching algorithms, this reciprocal link system is slowly going down and it has been started to considered as a link exchanging scheme rather. And now search engines give more preference to one way links (backlinks) and three way reciprocal links (which is nothing but three sites linking to each other in a loop). But what we get here is that this factor still counts in a page rank, so the fact remains same that we still need them.

Now when a new webmaster with his site's page rank actually 0, requests for a reciprocal link he faces denies from everywhere which is really frustrating and disappointing for a new webmaster, but every one faces this easy in beginning and gradually everything start falling into rite places. But still i really want to share these very important set of advices i want you to follow if you really want to work it for you, those are as follows:

1.Be ready with your site ( Site should be totally ready )

Your site should be ready with excellent, unique and keyword rich content indeed. Content always has a maximum priority because search engines are always hungry for some unique and quality content. And after all that's wot you need to keep your users involve in your site and keep coming back.

2.Search engine submission.

If you have not submitted your site to popular search engines like google, yahoo and msn, i would advise you to do it quick as before your site is not indexed as for example in google there would be no use of working on reciprocal links or backlinks because then you wont have a page rank to work upon, so submit your site quickly to google especially and then wait until your site is indexed, once its done you are ready to work on your page rank part by indeed working on your reciprocal links. So you see everything is connected.

3.Open directories submission.

Its probably the oldest and the most working method to obtain one way links ( backlinks ). The reason i advised this is that when your site is indexed in google it is initially at Page rank (PR) zero, and when you request some reputed site with a high page rank for a reciprocal link, they usually straight away decline those requests as the take new sites as some unprofessional material which can harm their page rank. So when you submit your site to open directories, you are actually collecting backlinks and indeed gaining a reputation all around Internet, this way search engines would start to know your site and will assign you initial page rank according to your site's content, now you would have all the opportunities to at least request all those sites with basic page ranks to link with you and you will find that they usually accept your request because they themselves too are probably looking for higher page ranks and when they get some links they don't deny it. Thus you can kick start this reciprocal link stuff for your site now.

4.Article submissions.

Now you must be thinking why i advised this thing, so let me tell you that article submission is a very powerful tool for getting targeted traffic at first place and then getting quality one way links for your site. Now how you get targeted traffic is, usually these article submission sites are already with high page ranks due to a wast demand of articles now days, so when you submit your articles at these sites, you usually place links to your sites at the end of your respected article and when people see your knowledge and expertise they wish to see if the owner of that article got some site or something, now when they get your link at the end they are indeed interested in the content of site as they already are interested in the theme of your article thus generating targeted traffic to your site and also at the same place you are actually getting yourself a backlink on a highly ranked page. So its way too benificial.

Now for those who are actually not into writing stuffs and all, i would recommend you to hire a ghost writer which could prepare good articles for you and at the same time could prepare quality content for your site too, because if you are not into writing, you probably need a writer for your site's content so it would really not matter if you will pay him little more for writing a few more articles for your submission.

5.Work it out for backlinks.

I would really recommend that you should really use the power of Internet to popularise your site's link obtaining backlinks at the same time. Some of the ways could be, using all those social networking accounts for boosting your link popularity but please note that don't flood those sites with your links because then you would look like some spammer to them and they could probably ban you from the site, now more ways include forum posting, google groups, yahoo groups etc. So work your way out and research for more and more ways for link popularity.

But please do note here that this whole process takes time and is not a overnight joke probably 2 even 3 months some time and this is a fact so if you are not serious and patient at the same time, this thing is probably not for you. So be serious, consistent and patient at the same time and you will see things working out slowly and your effort will start paying back.

Till now From point 3 all i said and explained was for obtaining one way links so that you can obtain a initial page rank say PR 2 or PR 3 to work with. And now that you have a good basic page rank you can come to the main part which will be not be so difficult to perform now and that is asking webmasters with high page ranks to link with you. The basic strategy is to ask reciprocal links from those sites whose page rank is slightly higher then you take for example you have a page rank 2 so ask for reciprocal links from site with page rank 3 or 4 its more likely for them to accept your request rather then straight away jumping to sites with page ranks 7 or 8. So now gradually make your way to top ranks by going step by step.

I would say it concluding the topic that the constant rejection and disappointments take away all the inspiring forces from a new webmaster but i would like to say from my own self experience that don't loose hope there are people out there who are in same condition as you are but you have to be consistent and always remember that the sites with top page ranks started just from a zero page rank. I really thank you for visiting my blog and i really hope that my efforts help you guys in any way out and makes your experience more enjoyable and rewarding.

Important money making guidelines.

In today's time every one needs some part time income to deal with our personal expenditures and financial hard times. All you wonder is how other guys make it online?? I mean why when you do it, after searching for it for a hour or two on the net you find yourself into a complete mess and then you hit frustration levels and stop everything in the end of the day. I know its really hard to believe what i m just going to say and may be you will think " every other person whose explaining about making money online says the same thing " it is that making bucks online is not something which is impossible to do and this is straight away coming from my own personal experiences.

But i m here to make everything really very clear and i don't want to create sweet illusion for you the thing is anyone who comes into this field don't start making money overnight, this thing takes time and no matter where you go or on which site you go this thing ain't changing, you have to put efforts and be patient for the results. As a matter of fact if i take my example i started making efforts a year back to make money from Google AdSense scheme and i went all the way through making my own website to making my blogs one of which is this one, to waiting for i don't know how many days for my blog's google indexing. But finally after i guess around ten months struggle, all of my blogs and site are in google index and i m gaining a lot of traffic now and i have started making good money now but things were not the same one year back, i also got hit by frustration levels, so many times i decided to end it there and then but no i somehow kept going and regularly came up with solutions to my problems and gradually learned a lot from my mistakes.

One of the major mistakes people do is they expect making money overnight by simply making a blog or a site of their own which is not what happens in real and then they say " this thing never works " but as i already said you have to be patient for the results.

From many ways of making money online some them are there which take relatively less time to give outputs but irony is, the schemes that take time always pays back more then anything. Anyway now i will describe some of the ways by which you can make some bucks online and if you are a starter i will advise you to read everything carefully.

A very popular easy and fast way to earn cash online is taking paid surveys and you can look out for a post in my April section in which i have talked in detail about this paid section thing. But i can tell you this that if you are taking surveys for a legitimate site its, probably the most fast way you can make money online. Although this methods works for making a good part time income but it cant really take place of a full time job and its not really a good option if you are looking forward to establish a home based business.

Now i would describe a way which is probably the most successful and fruitful way in all the methods to make money online which is affiliate marketing and this is the only way if a go with the majority view, which can take place of your full time income and for those who are looking for establishing a home based business . But on the same hand it can be at times the most difficult one too as it demands a lot of patience and efforts to put in for it to show results. It is all about selling someone else's product on a commission basis. Most affiliate marketing marketplaces will give you a free website to promote a certain product. Its means you have a website to send it to people to promote a product and its all absolutely free. You start with your very own website, , up to 4 Major affiliates, and then the addition of 10 more. The 4 Major website s to choose from are Sony, Travelocity, Amazon and EBay.

I need not to tell that the companies that i described above are very reputed companies and would pay well to you as their affiliates. After a month or so they give almost 10 more spots for affiliates thus increasing your income even more. Their are two major tasks to become a well established affiliate and those are you should know how to run your website and advertise it well. Although their are many ways to make money online but the most common factor in all those ways are that you need a steady stream of customers or you will not be able to make any money. It don't matter even if you have a very well designed site if you don't have customers who are interested to bye your product. So you have to think of ways to attract relevant traffic to your site from different ways like submitting your site to major search engines like google, yahoo, msn, overture etc. please note that google can be a key to your online success as more than 50% of the searches throughout the world are conducted from google so your google indexing and ranking really matters if you really desire to earn some real money online. You should also look forward to submitting your site to open directories and promote your sites on social networking sites this could really generate relevant traffic to your site.

I hope my article has helped you in any way out i really thank you for visiting my blog and i really wish that my little efforts through my posts help you guys to earn some serous cash online.

Increase google ranking.

With this growning internet business and search engine rules getting strict day by day for publishers,advertisers and afiliate marketers and for all those who are on a never ending quest to gain top rankinks on google, results are really hard to temper especially for a always improving search engine like google. Google has already outgrown the compitetion and had established well defined standards for internet marketing. Google has a simple policy that when any user searches for a query he or she should be provided with the most relevent, distilled and useful results.This is the only reason that google is the most popular and most powerful search engine of the world due to its most relevent and unaltered results.

The reason its most working search engine and is capable of presenting most relevent results is its top secret search algorithm The actual Page Rank algorithm looks like this: PR(U) = (1-d) + d * sumV(PR(V)/N(V)). Here PR = Page Rank, U is the page we're looking at, d is a constant damping factor and V is a page that links to our page.

Getting a page rank and top rankinks is never easy especially for those who are looking for loopholes in google machanism and want to play with such loopholes although present google is almost loophole free. Google on its hand clearly defines what it takes for good ranking so its better to follow those simple criterias and be on good side of google rather than making a fool out of ourself coz theres a simple rule to understand " GOOGLE GUYS ARE ALWAYS SMARTER " so dont think google will not get to know if you get your site involve in frauds like link farms, traffic exchange or link exchange schemes, google guys will always get to no about any fraud and this is coming straight from my own experiences.

Now coming to simple criterias that surely work but takes little time are :

Go for quality backlinks links

A simple rule of thumb is the more backlinks you have to your site the more is the probability of your site ranked high on google. For those who dont know what backlinks are you can see my previous posts and you will get my post explaining everything about backlinks. Now coming back to the topic mind it that its really very important to note that not just every backlink will work good for you, backlinks should be relevent meaningful and related. This is as simple as that i mean you keep your links related and meaningful thus all your links qualify for quality links and indeed increase your google ranking for sure.

Relevent Title tags

Ya this is compleately true that google do take the title of your site into consideration so the usuall sugesstion is to keep your title discriptive and probably should include a keyword but on the same hand dont stuff it too much with kewords coz then google spiders would consider it as a effort to increase ranking and this could work negativly. So the conclusion is to add short and relevent title tags really helps and dont over look this point if you really want high rankings.

Keyword rich content but with balanced keyword density.

Keywords if i would describe in lay man's language are the words which users can probly search for on any search engine for getting their desired results. So the basic thing is think of the keywords that are related to your content and do include them in the content of your site. So whenever any search is made with keywords related to your content, your site could show up in the results. Although high keyword density in your content is taken positively by google but on the same hand dont stuff your content with lots of key words in order to get displayed in search engine's results this could work negative for your site's ranking, and probably your site could also be banned in google results for this. And also i must remind you here is about reciprocal links, what reciprocal links acturry are is mutal placement of links on each other websites. like Mr. A places the link of Mr. B on his site and mutually Mr. B too places link of Mr. A on his site to increase mutual traffic. Now coming back on the point what i was about to say was that place related keywords of your site in the reciprocal links of your site because google also take into account the keywords present in reciprocal links.

Use ALT tags for images

Dont you forget to place alt tags for the images present on your site. Because google do index images with alt tags present on the site so it can be really useful for someone do a image search and your site comeup in the result. So dont overlook this important point which can surely help in genrating relevent traffic.

Important conclusion

If you have not gone through google guidelines for indexing and attaining high ranking i will strongly suggest you to go through them and follow those guidellines because if you deliever google what it wants it will undoubtedly reward you with high search engine rankings. And always remember " GOOGLE GUYS ARE ALWAYS SMARTER THEN US "
