Are you looking to buy text links for your website? Then ensure that you consider the following before you make the purchase.

1. What is the purpose of the purchase? Are you looking to improve PR or increase traffic? Based on it, get the relevant information from the advertiser like PR of the page where the link will be placed, traffic to his site etc.

2. Demographic of the visitors to the advertiser site. If the site in question is a forum then the number of unique visitors will be less. In such situations your link will be more useful for transfer of PR rather than anything else. Read the rest of this entry »

We have been looking at various options to monetise your website. Google Adsense continues to be the most popular among the webmasters. No doubt Adsense is a very good revenue generator but as a serious entrepreneur, one must take care to ensure that all the eggs are not put in the same basket. We come across so many Adsense publishers getting banned, some of them for no fault of theirs. As a webmaster who looks at his site not just as a hobby, it is important to ensure that his risks are distributed. Other ways to monetise, like CPM advertising, direct advertising, affiliate marketing and text ads must also be explored. Also with the change in Adsense TOS, you can put other contextual ads on the same page as Adsense. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may also be interested in this person, all of 25 years old who goes by the name of Jim Westergren.

So far, we at www.myContentWebsite.com have concentrated on the different ways you can promote your website on the internet. We have looked at directories, articles, link exchanges, PPC campaigns and a myriad other ways. But these are things most webmasters do, in one way or the other. How can you market your site in a different way?

Our opinion is offline marketing could be the answer. Probably you have been doing offline marketing in one way and that is word of mouth campaigns. Beyond that there are other websites that have been very succesful advertising on the television, newspapers, magazines, billboards etc. Agreed, these are expensive ways and not every ‘information-based’ website can afford them. This is where the marketing savvy webmaster steps in. Learn to look beyond these advertising streams. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes we keep searching for things and finally find them right under our nose all the time! Webmasters keep looking for new unique content and some of them spend a lot of money and time to get some. This post, we disuss a source of free content (obviously with some effort) that can be profitable too.

We will discuss about how affiliate programs can be used as unique content. If you are part of an affiliate program (and most webmasters are), you will see that there are campaigns in multiple categories. If you find some advertiser campaign on a related niche to your site, why not write a small review on the subject with the advertiser’s link embedded. Not only do you get unique content but also scope for some monetizing. Read the rest of this entry »

There are so many hundreds of directories out there, all running on the same script and template, that it some times becomes very difficult to remember if we have already submitted to theis directory. Among this uniformity of directory structure and mundane-ness we came across this directory - deeplinks.us.

At first glance it looked like any other general web directory. Then the following caption caught our eye - “NO HOME PAGE LISTINGS will ever be published.” Looking further it dawned that this directory literally means what it is named. There are only deep links allowed in this directory. This directory encourages what other directories do not. Not to sound too dramatic but this directory is venturing into a zone which has so far been neglected. Read the rest of this entry »

Any webmaster will actively try and promote his website through various means. One of the most popular ways to do so would be through submission to good directory sites. The advantage with this type of website promotion is even a new website can get some quality backlinks and also some amount of traffic to get going. Obviously quality will be subject to submitting to the right directories.

There are thousands of directories on the net and new ones are sprouting up everyday. To know which ones to submit to is itself worth some research. With time being at a premium, webmasters do not want to spend valuable hours submitting websites not knowing how active the directory is. This is where sites like best-web-directories pitch in. This site, for example provides comprehensive tabulated information on the various web directories. Information includes as to the niche of the directory to whether it is free or paid, average time for approval of submissions and an editorial rating. Read the rest of this entry »

The best search engine technique to increase your link popularity would be by placing links to your site from relevant content. If an article about real estate refers to your real estate website in it, then naturally your site will be considered an expert on reas estate. Building up on this idea, V7 Network has launched the V7N Contextual links program.

As an advertiser (or a webmaster) looking to SEO your site, you may choose to buy links on various websites targetting traffic that are related to your niche. The links to your site will not be placed on link pages or on the sides of the page. In that way, the link becomes valueless. Your links will, in fact, be placed in the content itself.

V7N Contextual has hundreds (and very soon thousands) of bloggers and webmasters in its rank who would be willing to place links to your site. Since the websites are thoroughly reviewed before acceptance, the advertisers can be rest assured that their links are placed only on high quality websites.
