Grow Your Links Like an A-Lister

• Site synergy:

One way to grow your links like an A-Lister is to use your natural site synergy and refine your link quality so that the best links ‘rise to the top’.  What do I mean by that? I mean that we ought to deliberately seek out and propagate links with  sites that are keyword related to our own. We are more likely to get a good back-link when we post on a ‘related’ site than when we comment on totally unrelated blogs. The ’strength’  such a link offers is well worth the effort of getting it.

• Combine With Other Sites:

Justin Briggs has written this article recommending that you Gang Bang your Competition into Submission, making the point that in unity lies strength; that we can combine with other sites related to ours, and the resulting strength is greater than the input of the individual parts. Ask yourself  this; if A-Listers do it; then shouldn’t you fall in line too and then expect similiar benefits?

• Get ‘Hot’ Leads:

It seems to me that by seeking out and comment linking on related sites we are also doing just what Justin suggests. I’m happy when I get traffic from such sites because that traffic is pre-disposed to agree with my site’s message - these surfers are already interested in my general theme when they arrive, so they are more likely to become a contributory part of the site than to just click away and disappear.

• Plant Wisely:

To complete the analogy, we grow our links, not by sprinkling comments everywhere, but by planting them in fertile ground. I.E., ground that will produce quality backlinks.  The whole point of ‘growing’ is to get back more than you planted, thus creating synergy. So bookmark authorative related sites that will add to yours and try to support them with encouraging and constructive comment; then you too will  ‘grow your links like an A-Lister’ so that now you can have a top money-making blog.

Now You Can Have a Top Money Making Blog

We are compiling this list of Blog advisers who are both successful and tech savvy. There are masses of web-sites out there that claim to be able to tell you how to become a net marketing millionaire, and most of them start by wanting to sell you their E-book or their ’sure-fire’ course to do it. There are others out in the blogosphere that are happy just to share their accumulated wisdom and hard won experience.

I am confident to recommend the following bloggers who are willing to freely share and advise, and be assured that they support each other as recognized experts in one or more areas. My vote is based on my own study of their writing and methods.

Generate Income from Expired Domains

• Good Page Rank

A good way to cash in on Internet potential to make money is to find expired domains that have good page rank and set them up on your own site. Every week hundreds and hundreds of domains expire for whatever reason. Most of them are worthless, but you can trawl through each days new offerings and find domains with better than Page Rank 3. Maybe the owner forgot to renew, or they changed their e-mail address and didn’t get notified about the expiry, or they just plain lost interest, or they reached their ‘use by date’, and got sent to that giant domain in the sky…..

• Expired Domains

What you do is go to some expired listing service - like Godaddy, click on Domain Auctions and then navigate to “Expired Domains”. and the Expiring Tab. Click on the Traffic Column header to sort the domains by Traffic and you will

………………………………………… find some quite impressive traffic available for quite nominal bidding.

Another trick with Godaddy is to simply sort them by price, and list them in your browser window one at a time and watch the Google Page Rank scale. With a bit of mindless determination, you can find domains for $5 with PR3 or better. Try it!

• Finding Expired Domains

Another place to look for expired domains is this site , although you need to register here to see the ‘goodies’. This one has a FREE section and another PAID section with lots more info available.

A word of caution here - the PR may be faked. Check it out BEFORE you buy. If this idea is new to you, read some more here.

• Good Keywords

Having found some potential domains for a price that will fit your budget, choose the ones with good keyword appeal, and buy them. Set them up with appropriate keyword optimization on your own host and load them with Adsense/Affiliate/E-Book links, and let the Search Engines rediscover them. They will enjoy immediate traffic from the old PR rank in the SE caches and existing back-links; and if you did it right, your renewed site will continue to grow, and you’ll be smiling as you generate income from expired domains.
