When something like link building using forum and free membership site member profiles becomes popular and hits the mainstream marketing crowd, it gets over-used and causes what is known as a decreasing rate of return for people.

Therefore, there needs to be some sort of best practices guide put out there for people who decide to add this link building method to their SEO strategy and portfolio.

Profiles link building best practices

Based on my research, there have been some common denominators for successful profiles link building:

#1 - Do not expect much from using the most popular links packets being sold because they cause a massive influx of new profiles creations of the new sites added to the lists people are getting.  When the new list of sites to create profiles on gets mailed out to people, they immediately get slammed with new membership creations, causing some alerts to go off from the site administrators.

Some of the recent rage for the last year or so has been profiles link building; the practice of creating member profiles on high PageRank, DoFollow sites.

1. A lot of people swear by this method
2. A lot of people say it’s not worth the effort and doesn’t work
3. Some say that remaining old school is the way to go.

I did some research on a marketing forum where a lot of these links packets are being sold and the following is what I came up with (with the help of the people who responded to the thread) for Profiles Link Building Best Practices.

What is Profiles link building?

It’s the practice of getting free memberships at certain types of sites, then creating profiles on them. When you create a “fleshed-out” profile or just a bare bones profile you get to place a URL or two in these “bios” /profiles.

However you only want to target high Page Rank site for profiles link building that have DoFollow attributes enabled, otherwise the whole exercise is pretty much worthless. (more…)

Who is the Internet Oldest Directory? I don’t know. But Best of The Web (BOTW) is one of the oldest web directory since 1994. I think is a must for serious Blogger and Internet Marketer to submit their site here.

Why submit to BOTW? BOTW is a Page Rank 7 site, and BOTW blog directory is Page Rank 6. You could reach a broader audience via this online directory. Perhaps gain more exposure to your blog and generate more feed subscriptions.

BOTW Directory Pricing

However, submission to BOTW is not free. Instead very expensive for most of us here. The annual recurring charge is $99.95 USD or $249.95 for one-time only charge.

Are you going to stop reading after see the expensive price? Don’t worry. Fortunately the BOTW blog submission is cheaper at only $39.95. The actual price should be $49.95, however it auto discount 20% without need of promo code. Yes, you auto save $10 bucks if submit now.

Still it sound expensive for you? Yes, I know you like Free things. So do I. Here you can submit blog for free, without time guarantee. (more…)

Have you install the yahoo widget and write for those daily hot keywords? I have monitoring the daily hot keywords list, but do not have suitable topic for my blog. I just like to write content on my own, so I use hot keywords suggestion tools more than daily hot keywords widget.

There are too many keywords suggestion tools in the market. Some free, some need to pay. As I said, a good blog post is not only the content, but also to choose a good title! A good hot keywords suggestion tool can help you to choose a good title.

Hot Keywords Tools

Today Im going to reveal two of the hot keywords suggestion tools that I use the most. These keywords tools help me to see the trend of what people are searching for, what is the market value for that keywords and so forth.
