Get More Sales With These 5 Proven Headlines
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
Yesterday it turned out to be a great sunny day... I loved it. Last night around midnight it started to rain and still is, huge puddles of water everywhere, windy with thick dark clouds and high humidity... hope it's only for today - we will see!
When someone arrives at your website or reads your articles the first impression of your visitor or subscriber is very important! What I mean by "first impression" is with your headlines on your website or articles that entice them to stay on and read what you offer. Your headlines will either lead to marketing success or failure to your online business! Over the years copywriting pros have used headline formulas that always work well, Alexandra shares her fab five ...

Get More Sales With These 5 Proven Headlines
by Alexandria K. Brown, "The E-zine Queen"

In the world of marketing communications, your first impression -- your headline -- can lead to either marketing success ... or failure.
It's important to realize that headlines work best when they appeal to your reader's interests (not yours). And not only can they *grab attention*, they can also make your message easy to read, convey your main selling points, and lead your customer to a sale.
Over the years copywriting pros have used several headline formulas that always work well. Here are my fab five:
1. The Question: "Are You Worried About Your Financial Future?"
A question headline automatically gets your readers involved in your message, because they answer it in their minds. Many people will read further into your letter, ad, or Web site copy just to find out what answer or solution you provide. Again, make sure the question focuses on the reader's interest, not yours. A bad example would be: "Do You Know What New Product We've Created This Year?" (No one cares but you!)
2. The How-to: "How to Get Thinner Thighs in 30 Days."
How-to headlines work very well, because people love information that shows them how to do something. (Thousands of book titles begin with "How to....") Think of the benefits your product/service offers and then try creating some "how to" headlines.
3. The Testimonial: "Jane Smith's Consulting Is Pure Magic -- Our Sales Have Increased by 30%!"
Why not let your clients do the selling for you? Their commendations can go a long way in convincing others to use your services. Tip: To appear credible, always include your clients' full names and the cities they live in.
4. The Command: "Boost Your Business Today!"
Turn your most important benefit into a commanding headline, such as "Make More Time for Your Family," "Look Younger Instantly!" and "Get 7 New Clients This Month." (By the way, throwing a number into your headline is another good tactic. And readers seem to like odd numbers as opposed to even.)
5. The News: "Introducing Our New 'Rest-Assured' Tax Service!"
Caution: This only works if you truly have something big to announce that is of interest to the reader. (Something that will make her life or business better.) Don't try to make news out of something that's not.
Once your readers know you have something they're interested in, they'll take the time to read your entire article, brochure, letter, ad, e-zine, or Web page. So put some TLC into creating headlines that entice!

No Customer Left Behind
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
The sun is out today and looks mighty pretty! I believe will have a beautiful day today and that makes me a very :-) happy gal.
Email as a means of communication has become unreliable over the last couple of years. Anyone who does business online should consider installing a help desk solution to manage their customer communication. Spam makes it impossible for a company of any size to operate with email-only support. In today's article Jim shares how to go about this annoying problem with spam...

No Customer Left Behind

As more companies make the jump to cyberspace every week and billions of dollars flow across the Internet, nobody can deny that ecommerce plays a significant roll in business today.
However, as the aisles of your local online shopping site get more crowded, the tendency for customer service issues and contact to fall through the cracks increases dramatically.
The main problem for any site revolves around the fact that email as a means of communication has become unreliable over the last couple of years.
Spam (unsolicited commercial email) lies at the heart of the problem since it clogs the email boxes of both the company and the customer.
In an attempt to stem the tide of spam, email gets filtered, lost, or deleted on both sides, often leading to hard feelings as customers think their emails have been ignored when actually they've never been received.
As a result, many companies, large and small, have started using "help desk" software to manage their customer communication.
Gone are the days of just emailing for support and getting a simple reply back from a live human being on the other end.
Spam makes it impossible for a company of any size to operate with email-only support.
A help desk makes it possible not only to maintain a "chain" of communication, but also avoids messages disappearing into cyberspace.
Help desk solutions run the range from free to several thousands of dollars for a custom program.
Two very workable and reasonably priced solutions are Kayako.com and Perldesk.com.
(You can also do a search in Google for "free help desk software" if you don't want to spend any money.)
Both offer the choice of installing the software on your own server, or paying a monthly fee to get a copy of the software installed and maintained on the provider's server.
Which option you choose depends on your level of technical ability, level of customization needed, and how much support you'll need over time.
I suggest starting out with the hosted version until you get the hang of the system, then switch over to a version on your own server to avoid the monthly charges.
An online help desk operates fairly simply.
A customer submits a ticket through a form on your website, the customer support staff (even if it's a staff of one) responds to the ticket through the website, and all communication gets posted on a private web page.
Both Kayako and Perldesk enable customers to search a "knowledgebase" or collection of articles to try solving their problems on their own (especially during non-business hours), thus frequently eliminating the need to get a live response.
Anyone who does business online should consider installing a help desk solution from the start rather than putting it off until the future.
Get your customers conditioned to operating with a ticket system rather than switching on them in mid-stream once your business gets too busy to handle support via email.
Here are a couple of other tips to help you.
Designate one person to act as the "sorter" answering the basic issues, then referring off the ones they can't answer to other staff members.
Also, post your help desk hours and stick to them.
Answer questions the same day if possible, but no later than the next business day.

Appoint Yourself the Expert!
Whatchya Waiting For? Appoint Yourself the Expert!
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
Do you feel you're not an expert in your field? Today's article is about making yourself an expert even if your not so you may benefit with your online business. It's VERY important to position yourself as an expert in what you do! Alexandra has a few pointers she shares to her clients if they are expressing doubt about their "qualifications"...

"Whatchya Waiting For? Appoint Yourself the Expert!"
by Alexandria K. Brown, "The E-zine Queen"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There's one marketing condition I see over and over with my clients, and it's called "but-I'm-not-an-expert-itis". These people are afraid to play bigger because they think it's not their time yet. (The important words there being "they think".) They're waiting for something to happen - a degree, a certification, a blessing from the gods in their industry, a recognitional nod from their respected peers.
Please listen carefully: This attitude will kill your business and take years off your life! It's VERY important to position yourself from the get-go as an expert in what you do.
Why do you want to be seen as an expert? Experts are more respected, get media attention, can market more easily and inexpensively, get paid more, and receive less price resistance (meaning people are happier to pay what you ask).
So, instead of waiting for someone to invite you to the top of the mountain, I urge you to simply "leap frog" your way over everyone else at the bottom.
Hear me loud and clear: You do not need anybody's permission to believe you're the best at what you do and share that fact! In fact, here are a few points I make to my clients if they are expressing doubt about their "qualifications" to sell information, programs, or services and charge well for them.
In the eyes of your prospects, clients, customers, and the media, you're seen as an expert if...
1. You Know More About Your Topic Than Your Target Market Does
When I first created my Boost Business With Your Own Ezine system, I wouldn't say I was an expert on ezines by far. But by studying the topic in depth to create my own ezine, I'd weeded through all the junky information to get to the good stuff, and I wanted to share it.
You'll find you can make quite a good living just teaching people how to get started in something. (You don't have to be the end-all wizard of the topic.)
2. You've Done What You're Teaching Others to Do
One client of mine, whom I'll call "Pat", teaches real estate investing. She wanted to create a high priced mentorship program of her own, but was nervous about it. She didn't feel right charging a lot of money for her personal time and advice, which meant deep down she wasn't confident in what she was teaching.
I asked her, "Did you make a million dollars investing in real estate?" She said yes. "Then just show them what you did," I replied. "Are you confident in that?" Her answer was a resounding "YES!" Once she realized she'd simply be teaching what she herself had already done, it eliminated her nervousness, made her sales much easier, and she was comfortable charging a hefty (and well deserved) fee.
3. You've Been Quoted on Your Topic in the Media
Sometimes the cart comes before the horse, and a brush with the media IS what makes you seen as an expert. A cosmetic surgeon friend of mine was recently a guest on a Los Angeles television show, and he now proudly promotes that fact in his ads, brochures, and office displays.
When I was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal on the subject of small business email marketing, you can be sure I added that to my bio as soon as I got off the phone!
4. You've Written a Book or Articles on the Subject
Nothing says "expert" like writing a book or by getting your name "out there" via articles. When you put a pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and simply share what you know, no matter how simple the information seems to you, people instantly view you as an authority figure. All you have to do is put yourself out there.
A friend of mine recently chose a financial planner based on the fact that he was a published author. "After all, he wrote the book on it!" she said. In her eyes, that sealed the deal, and she was happy to pay more for his services without question.
5. You SAY You Are the Expert!
I dubbed myself "The Ezine Queen" several years ago, simply because it had a ring to it. I had no idea at the time how much that would help me get famous and be remembered.
Did you know that Muhammad Ali became known as "The Greatest" because Ali himself said it? Yep -- he just kept saying it, and then eventually so did the media!
So if you have a good moniker in mind, go for it.
The Bottom Line... It's up to YOU.
Remember this: Your prospects, clients, and customers will virtually always accept the positioning that YOU choose for yourself and present to others.
So, whatchya waiting for? : )

Saturday Is My Day
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
Today I didn't post an article but I do have a quote at the end of this post...
On Saturday's it's my day of rest from work so for now on I feel I should not add to my blogs on this day. I enjoy playing with my blogs but it still turns out to be work. My day of rest should be for prayers and do fun and restful stuff out there... like bicycling or walking in the park, visiting family and so on, I will resume playing with my blogs on the next day... Sunday.
Burr... it's cold today!!! I needed to turn on and put wood in my furnace today, the wind is blowing and the trees are swaying back and forth. This morning I needed to wear light gloves to go out and feed my horse and an extra sweater under my jacket - it's not very nice at all out here!!!
I had a very nice belated Thanks Giving Day with my family yesterday. My nephew Pat is based in Barry Ontario and was not able to join he's family on Thanks Giving Day. I was driving all day to return home from my vacation that was in London and St. Catharines, Ontario. My sister decided to celebrate Thanks Giving Day again yesterday for the ones that was not able to join the family last weekend - it was really nice to see everyone and to catch up on family news.
In my family three generations served in the war...
First generation - my great great grand-father
Second generation - my grand-father, my dad and mom, plus an oncle
Third generation - my nephew Pat
My generation was missed, this week I started an album with my family that served in the war, so far I added three pictures. If your interested to view the album please go to Welcome to Flo's Personal Space to check it out. I will be adding more as I receive them from my aunts so I may share the pictures with my visitors as I find it interesting... maybe you will too.

Self Improvement Millionaire
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
This morning I opened my mailbox and received a Guestmap Notification of someone has just posted a new entry in my Bravenet Guestmap. To my surprise it was a special person in my life, he's name is Drew and at this time he's in Canmore Canada working hard and he says the mountains are very nice there.
*Here's a special message to you Drew*
Hi, thanks for dropping by and taking a moment to post and pin the Guestmap (:-) YOU made my day! It's nice to know you are safe and well, I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Take good care out there, also I'm letting you know... I miss you a whole bunch!!!
Today you have something different because last night I was on a powerful tele-class with Russell Brunson and Gary Ambrose. I’m not sure if you were on the call, so I wanted to share with you what was discussed - it might just interest you so judge for yourself...
-=-=-
First – The "self help" industry is huge. Just check out how many people were searching for this information last month alone:
Self-Help & Self-Improvement - 202,000 searches
Stop/Quit Smoking - 416,000 searches
Time Management - 60,000 searches
Motivation -150,000 searches
...and I have a list of about 30+ more of these.
2nd – To create an info product for any of these niches is VERY profitable, but usually runs from about $600 to $1,000 for each product you develop (and this isn’t counting cost of graphics and sales letters). With that said, you can usually recover your investment in under a week because the industry is so hot now.
3rd – Russell just created a site that will give you private label rights to "self-help" products that are already researched, already written and the sales letters finished for you also.
You get private label rights to two products each month for as long as you remain a member, but if you are one of the first 200 new members, then you will get 8 products this month.
So, if you’d like private label rights to 8 already developed products, then click on the link www.TheSecondTier.com... it might just be what you are looking for.

Get More Website Visitors
Get More Website Visitors Without Going Broke
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
The last two days of my vacation in St. Catharines it was raining and cold, since I arrived Monday night it was raining too with high humidity. It gets gloomy after awhile... hopefully the sun will appear tomorrow to get some warmth before winter! This week's article it's about how any business, large or small, should approach buying traffic to make sure you're building your business (and not wasting your time or money).

Get More Website Visitors Without Going Broke

In the never-ending quest to make money online, every website owner wants to get traffic to their website fast.
The main problem they face: finding traffic that converts into buyers without breaking their bank.
In their haste to get the traffic they need, many website operators start throwing money at the problem buying ads and exhaust their advertising budget without any meaningful profit (unless you count the person they paid for the advertising).
The following three rules should help any business, big or small, make money with their online advertising.
** Set An Online Advertising Budget **
Most businesses, especially smaller ones with only a few people (or even one person), don't operate with an advertising budget.
The advertising money gets spent when everything else gets paid, or worse, they spend money on advertising without a plan so they're basically gambling with their money.
By setting an advertising budget, you can factor it into your overall business picture and it gives you a yardstick to measure results.
If you budget $500 a month to advertise and look for ways to spend that money wisely, then your business will grow more predictably than if you advertise sporadically and then wonder why you don't operate with a predictable income stream.
** Follow The Numbers **
Unlike offline advertising on billboards, magazines or in direct mail, you can track virtually all aspects of an online ad, including: how many people saw the ad; how many people clicked the ad; how many sales and how much revenue the ad generated.
Since you can track everything, you can test various phases of the advertising process.
Regardless of whether you operate a real estate agent website, sell an ebook, or hawk your plumbing services online, you can and should measure each phase of the advertising process.
If clicks on your ads fall below expectations, then work on your ad until it generates a healthy click-through rate turning viewers into website visitors.
If you don't convert very many of the website visitors you get into buyers, then your site needs work to do a better job of selling people.
By following the numbers, you can see where you need to focus in the online sales process.
The number one rule of online advertising: use a unique tracking link for each and every one of your ads, preferably one that tracks not only unique visitors, but also sales.
This might add an extra 5 or 10 minutes of work to placing each ad, but it will allow you to see which ads make a profit (so you can run them again) and which ads don't (so you can change or cancel them).
** Go Beyond Pay-Per-Click **
Google AdWords and Overture, the Web's top pay-per-click advertising sources, have made people lazy.
Many website owners never go beyond buying advertising from these two.
However, a whole world of advertising exists buying ads on websites targeted to specific niche audiences.

Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
The last two days of my vacation in St. Catharines it was raining and cold, since I arrived Monday night it was raining too with high humidity. It gets gloomy after awhile... hopefully the sun will appear tomorrow to get some warmth before winter! This week's article it's about how any business, large or small, should approach buying traffic to make sure you're building your business (and not wasting your time or money).

Get More Website Visitors Without Going Broke

In the never-ending quest to make money online, every website owner wants to get traffic to their website fast.
The main problem they face: finding traffic that converts into buyers without breaking their bank.
In their haste to get the traffic they need, many website operators start throwing money at the problem buying ads and exhaust their advertising budget without any meaningful profit (unless you count the person they paid for the advertising).
The following three rules should help any business, big or small, make money with their online advertising.
** Set An Online Advertising Budget **
Most businesses, especially smaller ones with only a few people (or even one person), don't operate with an advertising budget.
The advertising money gets spent when everything else gets paid, or worse, they spend money on advertising without a plan so they're basically gambling with their money.
By setting an advertising budget, you can factor it into your overall business picture and it gives you a yardstick to measure results.
If you budget $500 a month to advertise and look for ways to spend that money wisely, then your business will grow more predictably than if you advertise sporadically and then wonder why you don't operate with a predictable income stream.
** Follow The Numbers **
Unlike offline advertising on billboards, magazines or in direct mail, you can track virtually all aspects of an online ad, including: how many people saw the ad; how many people clicked the ad; how many sales and how much revenue the ad generated.
Since you can track everything, you can test various phases of the advertising process.

3 Power Steps To Finding Elusive Joint Venture Partners
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
Joint Venture Marketing is a HOT topic right now but first, let me give you some proof that this topic is a hot one. Do a search for "Joint Venture Marketing" in Google, I found 52,500 targeted searches! Now that's a 'demand' for JV information. Learn more about Joint Venture Partners Marketing below so you may benefit too...

3 Power Steps To Finding Elusive Joint Venture Partners
by Dave Lovelace
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You've got your product or service on the web and it's proven to convert prospects into sales and you're ready to pack your virtual bags in search of a partner to joint venture with for an exciting and lucrative money-maker.
But there's one problem. You have absolutely no idea how to go about it.
Until now ..
I'm about to take you on a JV Safari in search of the elusive speckled-feathered Joint Venture partner.
Are you up for the challenge?
Grab your binoculars; cause this species is tricky to spot. You’ve really got to zoom in close when traveling the dusty roads of the Internet back country, but with a little practice, I’m confident you’ll develop a well-trained eye for spotting this creature with ease.
Here are 3 bushes you can search behind starting today:
1. Clickbank.com
2. Google.com
3. Alexa.com
With Clickbank, you can search for product owners whose product is related to yours. You can click over to their site from within Clickbank to review their site and product.
To start this search, look for the Marketplace link from Clickbank’s home page.
Alternately, go to Google.com and type in keywords or phrases related to your product. Investigate the first two pages of results as these will be the sites with the most traffic.
These are the sites you want to contact. First take a look at each site to make sure the product or service is a good match and compliments your product. If so, look for the site owners contact information on the page. This can usually be found at the bottom of the page or many times as a Contact link at the top or bottom of the page.
Now you’re ready for the next step. And this one’s the real kicker.
This secret method will keep you busy for hours as you collect a small goldmine of prospective JV partners no matter what niche you’re in. Here it is:
Simply take the research you’ve just compiled in the previous steps and point your compass North to Alexa.
Here's what I mean:
Start by taking one URL link that you found using the search methods above and go to Alexa.com. In the search box, enter that web address and start the Search. Alexa will then return two things. The contact information for the site owner (if available). And most importantly, Related Sites.
Related sites are links to other sites who offer related products and/or services. All of which are potential JV partners! And guess what
You can now take each of those web addresses and plug them into the Alexa search box and repeat the process. Can you see the power of this method?
Take an hour a day if you’re really "gung ho", or as little as 3 hours a week devoted to doing your research and you’ll soon come up with a large list of potential partners.
-=-=-=-
Internet marketing expert Dave Lovelace generated a 5 figure income in 7 days using the power of Joint Ventures. Now YOU can learn the step-by-step formula that some of the most successful one-man Internet businesses have used over and over again to sell tons of products and generate huge profits fast.

How Blogs And RSS Boost Your Search Engine Visibility
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
I arrived Monday at 5:30 pm, the traffic was light on my side but going towards Toronto it was very busy. I enjoyed my eight days in London, I stayed at my daughter apartment and slept a few nights at my sister. I decided to extend my vacation an extra three days so I drove to St. Catharines where I have another sister, I stayed there and visited my nieces and nephews. It was really great to see them all... now I'm home and feel refreshed and very ready to get back to my routine.
Today's article is very interesting for you and how you can boost your Search Engine visibility and how to get indexed within hours with fresh, updated, relevant content compared to the time it takes to index your website that will take days, even weeks...

How Blogs And RSS Boost Your Search Engine Visibility
Copyright © 2005 Priya Shah
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Marketers have found that blogs are excellent tools for communicating with their audience. Anyone who has something to sell or an idea to promote can benefit from using blogs.
Search engine marketers especially favour blogs because they have a number of features that make them the darling of search engines.
1. Fresh, Updated, Relevant Content
When you write a good blog about a theme that you’re passionate about and post to it frequently, you’re creating fresh, keyword-rich, content that search engines love.
2. Natural, One-Way Links
Search engines view links to your site as a recommendation of your site content. More links pointing to your site or blog boosts your visibility and search engine rankings.
Google gives more weight to natural, one-way incoming links, and blogs make it easy to get two types of one-way links to your site.
· Similarly Themed Blogs
A well-written, authoritative blog, with unique content, is likely to get linked to from a number of other bloggers writing on similar topics. These are natural links that are viewed highly and given more weight by search engines like Google.
· RSS Feed Syndication
Blogs and the RSS feeds built into them, help you build valuable, one-way links to your site by syndicating your content online.
3. Get Indexed Within Hours
When you post to a blog it “pings” a number of services that list blogs. This notifies the service that your blog has been updated.
Search engines like Google give more weight to blogs that are updated regularly. It is possible to get your pages indexed in Google and other search engines within hours of writing your first blog post.
Compared to the time it takes to index a website (days, even weeks), you can see why blogs are better search engine optimisation tools than static websites.
Indirect SEO Benefits of Blogs
Besides the SEO benefits, a well-written, authoritative blog can also create publicity and branding for you, which promotes even more people to read and link to your blog.

Eliminate Time Wasting Tasks
Free Software Quickly Eliminates Time Wasting Tasks
Welcome to Flo's Business Blog
Hi... Friday, I arrived in St. Catharines, Ontario. I had a great ride until Hamilton, it was just pouring and it poured all the way to my destination until next morning. I'm really enjoying this time off and I feel very refreshed - I'm ready to go home tomorrow!!! At 10:00 am I'll be leaving for a 7 1/2 hours drive, so that I may arrive before dark... I don't enjoy night driving because there is to many animals crossing the road during the day as I enjoy looking at the scenery along the way.
Do you spend a lot of time on email or other typing activities? Would you like to cut down the time you spend on email by 90% or more? In this article -- Jim reveals a cool FREE program that he started using that will absolutely change the way you type... especially if you type slowly or make mistakes. Why? Because it virtually eliminates time wasted typing the same text over and over... Jim LOVES this software! This article is especially valuable right now since I'll bet you really want to save time! And please, if it's a fit for your list -- *send it out* or post it to your website!

Free Software Quickly Eliminates Time Wasting Tasks

Ever find yourself typing the same things over and over on your computer? Maybe you type the same blocks of text into your email messages thirty times a day. Or maybe you find it hard to remember a long website address and never seem to get all the characters correct when you type it into your web browser's address bar.
Not too long ago, I came to the startling realization thatI spent over 45 minutes every single day just on completing repetitive email tasks. Bottom line: that amounts to over 273 hours a year doing the same things over and over again - talk about a waste of time!
Much to my delight, I recently discovered a free software program anyone can use that instantly gave me back almost all of that wasted time! With email, I found myself answering the same questions repeatedly. I spent way too much time retyping or hunting down the answer so I could copy and paste it into my reply.
On the surface, a task that takes only 30 seconds to complete might not seem like a time waster, but if you perform that task 100 times throughout the day you will chew up almost an hour on repetitive activity.
What if you could reduce that time by 90% or more? What if you could claim that time back and use it for other, more important things?
Well now you can, because a free software program called "ShortKeys" helps you reclaim the time you waste on most repetitive typing tasks. Log on to www.shortkeys.com/lite.htm and download the free version of the program, which offers all the features most of us will ever likely need or use.
"ShortKeys" is a macro utility, which means it performs repetitive tasks for you. In this case, it allows you to set up replacement text or paragraphs for any given number of keystroke combinations you can define. For example, I set mine up so whenever I type #7 faq into an email message, the program automatically inserts six paragraphs with the most frequently asked questions I get from people surfing my www.7dayebook.com site.
The program quietly monitors your typing activity and, anytime you type in a pre-defined keystroke combination, the program will automatically insert the replacement text. You can use the program with email, word processing, web browser, and even with your web page editor.
You simply choose a word and associate it with the replacement text. ShortKeys will then insert virtually anything you could type, including: simple sentences; extremely long web addresses; single paragraphs; even several paragraphs with up to 3,000 characters of text(and that's a lot of text!). Not only do you save time by not manually typing in the sentences or paragraphs, but you will greatly reduce the inevitable errors and typo's all of us make.
I don't normally get this excited about a free piece of software, but if you ever find yourself typing the same text over and over, get a copy of this program and start using it!

About Website Links
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Links to your Website have a big impact on your Search Engine Ranking for a number of reasons. But there’s a lot of misinformation about links and just how useful they are, here's answers from experts for some answers.
Successful Search Engine Optimization experts say:
"The anchor text and the PageRank of the page would be the most important factors... all links help -- whether they’re from sites with a low Page Rank or not.
"The thing about using inbound links to determine what a site’s about is that it's very scalable and it works very well. As soon as you start to base a page’s relevance on the number of times a keyword appears, people are going to fill their text content with keywords. Using link popularity as a basis of relevance, a site can be heavily optimized without the text becoming keyword-filled gibberish," they say.
Links are a major part of Search Engine Optimization. As the experts says, they are probably the best way that search engines can gauge the quality of a site.
Most experts agree that a link from a site with a high Page Rank (PR) is more valuable (in terms of increasing your won sites Page Rank) than a link from a site with a low PR.
3 ways to get links from high PR sites:
Hope for them.
Ask for them.
Buy them.
www.linkadage.com, www.linkauctions.com and www.buyselllinks.com are just 3 link selling sites.
Have a great day and the best to your online success
