Hi Guys,

it’s gone a bit quiet on the test blog this week. There were a couple of minor changes with one of the programs adding one or two extra backlinks.

I have also added another tool to the mix.

I have been a subscriber to Traffic-Bug since the early days, stumbling across it during the 2009 Thirty Day Challenge.

But, because of the other tools I was using, such as Bookmarking Demon 5 etc, I sort of lost interest in it.

But the subscription was still there so I decided to see how it performs.   I know that as an indexing tool it is excellent, but I’ve never tested to quality or quantity of the backlinks it produces.

I have added two pages to the test blog, one to test the traffic-bug submitter and the other to test the RSS submitter side of the program and have set the program onto aggressive, which essentially means that it will drop lots of backlinks in a short space of time.

Anyway, let’s have a look at the figures from last week. Read the rest of this entry »

Okay, maybe that’s a slight exageration, but just look around, blogs are sloping off, into long forgotten, dark corners of the web and just fading out of existence at an astronomicalrate. Henceforth we can refer to these as Suicidal Blogs!

Why?

Well, lets’s face it, blog writers (me included) are fickle, all we care about is becoming popular (and rich   ).

If the blog they write doesn’t reap traffic in the the way they expect it to, they tend to neglect it, sometimes to the point it can’t Read the rest of this entry »

High Guys,

The end of week three of the easy backlinks experiment is throwing up a couple of odd results.

But first I wanted to mention that I’ve added a new tool to the test. It’s called Quick Back Links Generator and it is available from BlackHatMoneyMaker.com

It’s another simple tool which just requires you to edit an included txt file by adding the URL of your site.

There are a lot of lines of text to edit, so use the ‘find and replace’ function of notepad. Then just load the file into the program and hit submit. It fires your links at each site on the list and takes around 2 seconds per link – so I suggest leaving it running overnight.

After the run completed it reported that I had 380 backlink submissions, so there are a LOT of failures. (But 380 successes!)

Ok. On to the results of the experiment, at the end of week 3 the table looks like this. Read the rest of this entry »

We are still trying to get to the bottom of the recent Google ‘Mayday Mayhem’ algorithm change. But it seems like one of the factors which is receiving more emphasis is the Bounce Rate.

So what is Bounce Rate?

Well in the simplest terms it is the amount of traffic that visits your site and either leaves immediately or just reads one page without then clicking onto another page or post on your site. Googles own definition is “The percentage of single-page visits (i.e. visits in which the person left your site from the entrance page).“

It’s not clear from Google what it considers to be an acceptable bounce rate, but whatever yours is, you should make an effort to improve it.

The first thing that you need to do is dive over to Google Analytics and examine your bounce rates. (If you’re not using GA then I suggest you start. The information it provides is much more accurate than that supplied from within your C-panel.)

As I mentioned, it isn’t clear where the line between good bounce rate and bad bounce rate fall. But the nearer your rate is to 100% the worse it is. It is widely believed that a good bounce rate for your homepage is anything below Read the rest of this entry »

There comes a time for every Internet Marketer when we need some sort of e-cover.  Perhaps it’s for a product you’ve created or maybe for a piece of PLR which you have re-branded and made your own.

But how do you create an e-cover which will do justice to your new product?

Well, there are a few ways, the first is to outsource the design and creation to a graphic artist.  You should be able to locate one at Elance.com But be prepared to pay quite highly for this service.  Note: If you’re product is going to be a major release or a high ticket item, then this is the way to go,  Don’t bother trying to do your own, spend the money.  You could even contact Sean Lowery, he creates covers for the biggest names in Internet Marketing.

If you are on a budget or are just knocking out a quick viral freebie or list builder then hiring a graphic designer is probably not the right path to choose, so why not create your own e-cover? Read the rest of this entry »
