Is Your Online Business Generating Enough Backlinks?

By Kristina Crosby"

There is nothing quite as important as generating traffic to your website with internet marketing. While there are several ways you can generate traffic, it is vital you have as many website backlinks as possible. The problem is many do not know how to create backlinks for their business.

It really does not matter how you get backlinks, just as long as you have links on the internet for people to get to your website. You probably have heard that all traffic is good traffic or all backlinks are good backlinks. While this is true, there is such thing as wasted backlinks as well.

The point is you want to get your links in places where people who may be interested in your website will be. There is no point in getting backlinks in a gardening category or website if you have a home business website. Place your links in logical places that give you the best chance to increase your traffic volume.

There are several ways you can create backlinks that will better your business. An extremely effective method is to post in forums that give you the opportunity to create a signature. This way every time you post in those forums, you have a link in your signature that people can see.

One of the more common methods is writing articles and submitting them to article directories. You can then place your website link in the resource box giving you a website backlink. As you submit your article to article directories, you can place them in specific categories to reach your target market.

If you are looking to get your link on a particular website that already receives a lot of traffic, you can do a couple of things. You can pay to have a text link or a banner ad placed on their website. Or you can offer to give the site owner something for free like an e-book or web content in return for a free link.

Perhaps the most common method, though, is link exchanges. This involves you trading your link for another website owner's link. You are agreeing to place their link somewhere on your website for them placing your link on theirs. The hope is visitors to their site will see your link and make their way to your website.

Web site backlinks are crucial to having success with an online business. It gives people that more of a chance to find their way to your website. And with the competition online as stiff as it is, it is up to you to do whatever you can to set your business apart from the rest.

This is both an exciting and frightening time for me as I wade through this virtual online world of Internet entrepreneurs. I invite you to visit my blog and leave any questions or comments you might have.

Building Niche Sites That Sell

By Khaled Taleb"

When selling one product on a website, you do not need to create a fifty page website complete with flashy ads, lots of graphics, and other tricks that other online businesses do to increase awareness of their site. Because your product will be popular for a shorter amount of time, spending hours and hours finding the right fonts, creating articles, and customizing the sequence of the pages is not worth it.

Keep in mind that your niche group is hungry for information they are unable to find anywhere else. This means they will not need as much encouragement and pushing to place an order.

If you are the only game in town, chances are you will receive business regardless of whether you have pretty graphics and expert formatting on your website. A simple site that highlights the features and benefits of the product will do well.

You do not have to be a computer genius to create a professional looking website that promotes your products.

Since you will be using other forms of marketing including PPC, keywords on your site, and joining forums and creating blogs, your website will mostly be used as a platform to accept payment after a customer orders your product.

Your web host will have many templates to choose from when the time comes to build your site. Most niche marketing sites contain a sales letter page explaining the benefits of purchasing the product.

Sales letters also include links to purchasing your product; offer a free gift, or bonus report that entices people to make a purchase immediately.

Images of your product will also help when making a sale. Depending on the amount of information you want to share with visitors, most sales letters are between two and eight pages/screens long.

Another benefit of niche marketing is that you don't have to spend days creating a website. By using templates, writing an effective sales letter/page, and adding a few images, you can create an efficient website in a day or less.
