Is it possible to get a backlinks for a 1 day old blog or website without…

- Submitting your site to directory?

- Exchanging links?

- Commenting on other blogs?

- Press release?

You might be wondering, how can it get backlinks if it’s not even indexed by the search engines such as Yahoo, Bing and Google?

Yes, it’s very possible and I did it with the latest niche blog that I’ve just setup containing one post only!

And now I want to turn this into case study. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the secrets as time goes by. Promise, I won’t bore you with technical details. If you  are curios on how I did it, keep reading.

To start with, I bought a new domain a month ago which I’m planning to sell later on,  but I decided instead to a make a mini-niche site out of it instead. Since I was able to make one of my niche site to be listed on page 1 of Google and got a PR in less than 3 months, I decided to try it on a new domain and applying all the SEO and other tricks I’ve learned over the years. Mind you, these are white hat SEO tricks, no gray nor black hat or any other magic voodo here.

BUT, that’s a big BUT here,  I’m using cheat sheets which I’ve documented and planning to share in this case study that I’m doing. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll tell you everything all the tricks I’ve under my sleeve. If you are, I encourage you to subscribe to my RSS feed so you’ll get the latest update from me.

Of course, just like any blog that I’ve set up for my own personal consumptions, my main goal is to monetize it. Come on, doesn’t most bloggers wants to earn? However, for this journey, I want all BlogDeManila readers to learn from these tips ((Warning: if you already know them – just don’t read any further), and I’ll write in a procedural way so you can follow step by step.

Again, the lessons you will learn here might be too basics for some but I hope you will still learn one trick or two. You can always unsubscribe from my RSS, if you think that you are not learning anything and if you feel I’m wasting your time. I’m sorry there’s no money back guarantee here, because I’m not selling you anything.

And again, the succeeding posts on this case study, although I’ve tried to be as accurate and complete as possible, I don’t guarantee that the contents are accurate due to very fast changing of SEO landscape. The tricks that I’ve applied today might not be permissible tomorrow. Like anything else, there are no guarantees whatsoever, including increase in traffic and SERP, and of course the most important thing – in monetary value. Results may vary according to your background, willingness to learn and passion on what you are doing.

I encourage you to leave your comments here if you are really interested,  so I’ll be encourage as well in writing my succeeding post. If you have any questions, you can already start to ask them now. And, don’t forget to subscribe to RSS.

A very, very quick post  here.

I’m currently watching a video while writing a post for another blog. My eyes (and attention) fixated on the video that I’ve almost forgot the post that I’m writing.

The video is about building a subscriber list. For practical reason, subscribers are readers who wants to get in touch with you. Sometimes they are passive (as if not reading your post or email) but others are active.

One of my goal this year is to increase the number of my subscribers, not only here at BlogDeManila but to my other blogs as well.

A lot of successful bloggers out there (or should I say Internet Marketer), build list in order for their business to succeed and this is the path that I want to go too.

And I’ve learned the tip on how to increase my subscribers which I want to share to you as well. Don’t get freak out because I invited somebody to tell you how. Just kidding,  all you do is watch the video by clicking on the link below and let’s all together learn learn how to attract subscribers using our existing blog.

Go watch the video now: http://www.blogdemanila.com/boost-subscribers.php

This video is COMPLETELY free… but I definitely suggest that you subscribe – because you will learn a lot from this site.

Setting up a blog or a website is very easy. If  you’re having a hard time, email me.

Putting contents in your blog is relatively easy if you know how to write.

Getting people to read your blog is much easier!

Oooopss, it seems that doesn’t sounds right, is it?

To tell you frankly, generating traffic is not really hard. In fact, it’s much easier than producing a content.
Would you like to learn a quick and easy way for getting traffic without paying anything?

Would you like your blog to be seen by search engine radars?

Look no further, this post  will show you everything you wanted to know about generating traffic , but don’ t know how to start.

But for now let’s talk about getting people to land on your blog.

Believe it or not,  a lot of bloggers out there think traffic is nothing but hits, page views, bounce rate,etc.; they’re looking at traffic as statistics, and forget the basics – there’s a breathing human being in front of the computer, with probably the same problems, wants and needs as you.

Here’s a tip: If you know the objective of your blog and have given a real thought on whom do you want to benefits from it, traffic generating will be a piece of cake for you.

The truth is, a lot of bloggers though traffic generation is rocket-science.
When you master the basics, blog traffic generating turns into a very simple task.

Go and check the pro bloggers in your niche.  Do you think they’re hunting for traffic? Not at all, they make traffic come to them. No need for a magic formula here.

A lot bloggers are trying too hard for their traffic; they’re publishing articles and writing blog posts every day;  tweaking with SEO, Twittering, forum marketing, and so on.

Have you heard the words” multi-level marketing”?

Multi-level marketing or MLM is a marketing strategy wherein the top leader generate sales by using the power of his sales forces or his down line (recruits).  This is called the power of leveraging!

You  should recognize the true power of leveraging in blogging- taking advantage of other people’s traffic, rankings and authority.

If you want to be counted among the pro bloggers, read the tips below on how to generate traffic like a pro. Remember the saying, “if you can’t beat them, join them.”

Here’s The Steps How To Use The Power of Leveraging Blogging

Step #1 – think BIG – keep your focus [answer these questions: who's your ideal client? who are you really talking to?]

Step #2 - run interviews, ad swaps and blog roll exchanges with like-minded bloggers in your niche industry

Step #3 – avoid paying for advertising unless you have your metrics tested and proven [for e.g. you know the exact click and lead value of your visitor]

If you have stats proving you that for each blog visitor, you’re making $1 a month on average, then you probably could afford to pay 50 cents a visitor; you’d reap half a dollar as profit. Wow!

With hundreds of web hosting companies offering all kinds of hosting plans, it has become challenging to find the best web host company that offers balance between  features, performance and support.

What about Prices? Well, this is relative in one way or the other. Some web host provider will offer you a “cheap” entry for as low as $1 only for your first month but you have to sign-up with them for at least 2 years in order for you to avail of that special price. Other providers, on the other hand, can give you a special prices which are valid for a limited time.

So what is the best web host provider for blogs? For me, no other provider can beat BlueHost in providing the best price-value for blog sites. Alright, maybe I’m lying because Bluehost is not only the best web host for blogs but for any other web site too from simple static page to social networking sites.

How do I know this?

1. I am using BlueHost, our company is using it for our corporate site, support website and in our social networking site. We are using BlueHost even in our business/project websites.  The only drawback is we cannot use BlueHost for our Windows hosting need. BlueHost exclusively provides their hosting plan in Linux only and I’m not aware if they have plans to offer in the future.

2. If you don’t believe on my personal testament, just do a simple Google search for “best web host for blogs”, check some of the sites on the first result page and I assure you that BlueHost is is always mentioned, if not listed within their top 3 choices.

3. Even WordPress,org, on their recommended web hosting page, put BlueHost on their first choice. see http://wordpress.org/hosting/

This is not a pay-per-post review. I’m just one of their satisfied customers but to be perfectly honest with all you my dear readers, the link to BlueHost contained my affiliate ID which may give me some moolah.

Wow…time flies so fast! I’ve been out of town for almost a month…travelling in all directions with my whole family.  Tiring, but a lot of memorable moments were bonded.

My last post was more than a month old already. I’m very sorry for that, but let me tell you that I did not procrastinate nor I’m a  Blogcrastinator.     A  Blogcrastination – the deferment of writing a blog post to a later time; often a mechanism for coping with anxiety.

In fact, all the blogs that I own and most of the sites that I’m maintaining ( I’m not the blog owner) were all updated even if I was on a vacation except for blogdemanila.com. This is of course due to WordPress scheduling techniques. All the articles were set to be posted on a scheduled date.

So how did I earn while traveling? Simple, by just letting my blogs run on their own. To tell you the truth,  my earnings for this past four weeks  where I was mostly offline are more than what I’ve earned  on my first year of blogging.

And here’s the other truth;  I don’t really do ALL the work. It’s all outsourced or automated.

It’s simple really when you already have set-up your “blog empire” and let the soldiers do most of the work. All you have to think about is the strategy you will use in conquering your next loots.

Just like the old English idiom, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”, there’s also there’s WAY more to blogs than running a few clunky ads.

Spilling the secret box

My secret box is composed of a mix of revenue streams including:

• Services (setting-up sites and blogs)
• Affiliate products and services
• Ads (such as Adsense and Bidvertiser)

I know that some of you are earning a lot doing product reviews and/or using pay per post networks. Honestly, I’m not good on this. I’m not a good writer and so I shy away from this task as much as possible.

Since I’m not good in writing,there’s another SECRET that I’m going to reveal on my next post.  I just have to schedule the articles that are needed to be posted on all the blogs that I’m maintaining. Don’t worry it won’t take long.

Imagine a world where all of your questions about making money online are addressed one by one, in a series of full-length videos.

Jeremy Schoemaker’s ShoeMoney System is about to be released to the public and he’s got some incredible content to share with students.

Check out his story: http://www.shoemoneysystem.com/its-coming

Jeremy has been releasing great content every week towards the launch.  One of my favorite videos is the one where he talks about the 6 ways to make money online: http://www.shoemoneysystem.com/6ways

I love how Jeremy breaks things down and explains it in a way anyone can follow.

A client of mine is looking for a new webhost but not just any kind of  provider. It should be a Windows hosting provider. There are numerous providers out there but mostly they are offering a Linux webhost only.

My client will not just simply install a blog  but he’s developing an ASP.NET website. He’s actually a Windows guy and it’s just natural for him to look for a reliable windows hosting.

I had a long chat with Jade  of MommaWannabe last week because she was looking for a cheap hosting. While searching for the right hosting provider for her, I’ve found out about this Window hosting company called  Hosting Fest.  They are supporting the classic ASP, ASP.NET,Microsoft SQL Server and other technologies such as ASP.NET Ajax extensions. This is exactly the kind of hosting provider that my client is looking for.

If you know any Windows hosting provider that can beat the offerings of Hosting Fest, please let me know. It would be great if they have affiliates program too

I don’t want to sound bitter against Nuffnang. This is not about the company nor the ads they are running on their network. I just want to rant about their support.

Last Thursday, September 10, 2009, I received an email from Nuffnang with a subject ” SMART is giving away Php 500,000 daily!” Within the body of the message there is this link to Smart’s website on where to get more information, but when I followed the link  I received a “404″ error. It means the page is unreachable or not existing.

I’m a bit curious ( “suspicious” is the right word) because how can Nuffnang broadcast an email to all their publishers where in fact the link to the Smart site is invalid.

I sent a message to Nuffnang using their support page on the same day  I received their email. Below was my first email.

Subject: Please confirm if it\'s true
Date: 11 Sep 2009 12:35 AM 

I received an email today regarding SMART’s BigTym Buddy Promo.
Is this true?
I'm asking this because I cannot find any news on smart.com.ph website.
I'm planning to post about this but I need the confirmation if it's true.
Thanks and God Bless!

And here’s what I received from their support the following day:

We have no projects with Smart at the moment, so we cannot answer that
 question, unfortunately.

I still could not believe it. How on earth they (Nuffnang) can announced a promo like this if they have no project with Smart?

I was not satisfied with their reply. I searched heaven and earth but I could not find any post on Nuffnang’s site and blog as well. The stubbornness in me was reigning that day so I sent another support email.

Since the staff  replied that they have no project with Smart, I attached an image of the email I received from them together with this message:

Hi Marcelle,

I'm just worried that perhaps somebody is using Nuffnang to send unscrupulous
 email to all bloggers.
See the attachment. This is the email that I received from noreply@nuffnang.com

I hope you can investigate this and update us ASAP.

Thanks.

Regards,
eric

On the next day, September 11, the date of the launching of the promo, I was monitoring Smart’s site if ever the page will come alive. And guess what? Smart’s website did not disappoint me. The promo was launched in the morning of September 11 as announced!

3 days after I sent my last support to Nuffnang, they replied to my “ASAP” inquiry with this:

 Subject: Re: Please confirm if it\'s true
 Date: 14 Sep 2009 03:09 PM  Posted by:  Marcelle Fabie  (Staff) 

All right. I checked, and we launched the e-mail blast on that day itself, and
 was informed about it only afterwards. Yep, it's a legitimate promo. Thanks!

I don’t know what is happening within Nuffnang. I like their network marketing company even if a lot of bloggers are telling me that they are not earning enough on it. This exchange of emails shows that either that particular staff doesn’t what do they have or perhaps  Nuffnang Philippines doesn’t know what are the projects of their mother company – Nuffnang (Singapore). I was just guessing that it’s Nuffnang Singapore who was able to bagged this promo from SMART and not Nuffnang Philippines.

Lastly, if anybody from Nuffnang is reading this post, kindly update the content of  your page with your current promos.

I received a tip in my email last week stating that “if you want to use your blog to build your list (and you should), then get a new theme”. And this is exactly the reason why BlogDeManila (BDM) is changing it’s theme.

Why Do You Need a List?

If you want to succeed as a blogger, a network marketer or just simply make your online business known, you’ve got to have a system where you can easily communicate with your readers or client. An email auto responder or generally called “LIST”, is the most important tool you will ever need if you want to make money online.

List building can take a lot of time simply because many strategies do not work right away. A perfect example of this is article submissions. You can wait weeks or months for your articles to make their way onto other people’s sites. There are much better methods available to you.

Here are five free strategies that will enable you to build your list much more quickly.

1. Ad swaps involve finding other marketers in your niche, or a complementary niche, who have an equally sizeable list. You provide each other with ads to promote to your lists for mutual benefit. In essence, this doubles the number of your potential buyers and multiplies your chances of enticing people onto your own list.

2. Giveaways enable you to distribute viral materials that contain links to your opt-in form. By encouraging people to pass your giveaway around, you can quickly reach a significant number of prospects. With giveaway events, you can leverage the marketing efforts of the participating marketers.

4. Forum participation is an excellent way to reach out to people who are in your niche. Find niche-related forums, respond to people’s questions with valuable advice, and plug your squeeze page giveaway in your signature file.

5. Social marketing puts you right in front of the people who are most likely to want what you are offering. Visit relevant blogs and add snippets of helpful information in response to posts that refer to the topic of your giveaway. This is key. You want your plug to naturally flow with the topic of the post so that people will be anxious to find out how your product can help them.

When choosing social media sites and forums, make sure they allow do-follow links and that you can add live links in your signature file, as this is the whole purpose of this form of marketing. Not all blogs and forums allow active links.

All of these methods work. It’s a matter of finding the ones best suited to your offer. Forums and social media work best if they have a significant number of visitors or members. If the numbers are small, it will be tougher to get the traffic that you need to build your list quickly.

By utilizing all five methods, you can reach more of the right people faster. Meet their expectations, and you will grow your list.

List building is one activity that you can share with other marketers for your mutual benefit. Not only will you be able to grow your list in record time, but when done correctly, you can see the results of your efforts years down the road.
