| Everything You Need to Know About Linking |
Websites that are able to amass a large number of links from related websites that contain relevant content, tend to have an advantage when attempting to rank well in the large search engines. The tricky part is understanding how to build a large quantity of quality links. With the growth of the web and increased competition, search engines are weighing link relevance, and link authority as part of their ranking algorithm.
Earning Links
Link popularity is a form of "social bookmarking". Think about it, a link is akin to a "vote" from the source. Just like in the real world, a vote from a source that is known to be trusted and respected in a specific industry carries more weight and contains more social clout, so does a link from a credible online source. Web links are seen as a recommendation or a website endorsement. If the endorsements are from established respected sources in a specific sector, the link is weighed heavier than an unrelated link or links from a source that is not yet established.
The easiest way to earn a link is to provide quality unique content.
How do you know who is respected?
One way to determine the value of a website is by accessing its PageRank. PageRank is visible in the Google Toolbar and is calculated based on the number of quality incoming links that a website has. Alexa Rank and TrustRank are also indicators of a websites popularity. Alexa tracks the websites that people who use the Alexa toolbar visit. Based on these visits, they determine the popularity of a website and rank it accordingly. TrustRank is a little more difficult to pin down. TrustRank is based on the assumption that good websites rarely link to bad neighborhoods.
PageRank and Alexa Rank can be used to help webmasters assess what webpages and websites are valued by search engines. Keep in mind, this is not an end-all/be-all. The rankings should only be used only as guides. Relevance matters, a link from a respected tree website will not help a software website unless they are selling software related to trees or landscaping.
Authoritative Links
Some websites wield great power. They are not topic specific and are considered quality credible sources or "authorities". Examples of authoritative sources would be other search engines or directories like Yahoo, DMoz and Wikipedia. They are respected resources on almost any industry topics. Authoritative links are desirable and can help increase a websites popularity.
Deep Linking
Regardless of a websites topic material, if the website is well designed and informative, its generally not too difficult to attract links to a websites' main page. But what many webmasters do not realize, it is equally important to attract incoming links to a variety of pages on the website. The more varied the links to various webpages within a single domain, shows search engines that a website contains an abundance of quality material.
Anchor Text
When a publisher links to a website, the search engines consider the link text used in the link. Varied but related text in the link shows what the material is about. All links that contain the same text look "unnatural" and may be considered as "purchased" or unreliable. Search engines are partial to natural incoming links. Ideally attempt to establish varied linking text that unite in a common theme.
An example: Software Marketing Resource http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com has a number of links with text containing things like: software marketing; shareware marketing; software promotion; online software marketing; promoting software; promoting shareware. All are synonymous with software marketing and are natural phrases that would be used to describe the same website.
Directory Linking
Directories should not be overlooked in linking strategies and while webmasters should not rely on directories solely when developing strong links, they can be advantageous. Particular attention should be paid to topic specific directories. A topical directories are often consider authorities and a related link can boost exposure.
Competitive Intelligence
Webmasters looking for links and don't know where to look, should have a peak at who is linking to their competitors. Use competitive intelligence to track down quality link sources.
Give it Away
An easy way to earn links is to give something away. Whether you are providing quality content free of charge or a free software application, webmasters appreciate quality content and products that are available free of charge. Use the free item or content to draw attention to your website, if you are truly providing something of value, it will generate unsolicited links that are invaluable. Develop a linking strategy as part of your website marketing plan.
The aim should be to attract authoritative links from related sources.

Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Words/Vocabulary
The two great words of antiquity are behold and beware. Behold the possibilities and beware the temptations.Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express.
If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future.Well chosen words mixed with measured emotions is the basis of affecting people.
It's okay to send flowers, but don't let the flowers do all the talking. Flowers have a limited vocabulary. About the best flowers can say is that you remembered. But your words tell the rest.
Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness. |

| Do you know the 24-hour millionaire |
A couple of days ago I sent you an email that introduced BRIAN KURTZ FROM BOARDROOM, INC. to you. Remember, he's part of the faculty at this year's Glazer-Kennedy Info-SUMMIT that we call the 100-Million Dollar Man.
Well now I want to introduce you to another member of this year's faculty that we call "The 24-Hour Millionaire."
His name is JEFF WALKER he's an 'under the radar' info-marketer, for years secretively selling millions of dollars worth of his investing courses. More recently, he has begun masterminding enormously successful info-product launches, notably utilizing the internet.
Everybody sat up and took notice in 2004 when internet-guru John Reese publicly credited Jeff's "6 Figures in 7 Days" strategies for his launch of a new home study course: $1.8-MILLION IN SALES IN 24 HOURS. (Now that's making money while you sleep!)
Since then, he's assisted other famous marketers including our own Yanik Silver (Platinum Member) and Brian Sacks (Info-Mastermind Member) with similarly, amazingly successful product launches....in total, creating over $8-Million from 1-day to 7-day promotions.
At the Info-SUMMIT, Jeff will take you "behind the curtain" on these launches...explain how he builds up "hyper-anticipation" in the marketplace before a product is released, so there's a huge crowd waiting and panting, credit cards in hand....how to "Re-Launch" an old product for a giant payday....how to secretly pre-test, so you don't waste a launch opportunity --- these are very advanced, proven strategies for promotions that bring in $20, $30, $100, as much as $200 per name on a list....instantly make you THE topic of discussion in your market....and obviously, flood your bank account with cash quite literally overnight..
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY IN INFO-MARKETING AT SUCH BLINDING SPEED YOUR SPOUSE'LL GO INTO SHOCK - this is the guy you gotta hear, this is the place you gotta be! To get all the details click onto the link below:
https://www.dankennedyssl.com/infosummit2006/
WARNING - WARNING - WARNING
WARNING: Yes, you could easily be locked out. This Info-SUMMIT was 50% sold out before I ever wrote this email!!!! --- from returning alumni, word-of-mouth, people jumping the gun and insisting on registering long before we even set its date.
Hate to see you locked out for a whole year. So, I'll put $500.00 CASH in your pocket for acting decisively and immediately. Register no later than June 5, 2006, and deduct $500.00 from your total fees. (Fool around until June 6th and you LOSE THE $500.00. And you might very well lose the opportunity to come altogether.)
https://www.dankennedyssl.com/infosummit2006/
Dedicated To Multiplying Your 1ncome,
Dan Kennedy
PS: I will even guarantee that your trip to the Info-SUMMIT proves to be one of the most fruitful trips of your entire life: if, at ANY time during the three days of the Info-SUMMIT, you honestly believe you've made a mistake and that you don't belong here or that I somehow misled you or you are otherwise disappointed, you need only say so to receive a full 100% fee refund PLUS UP TO $750.00 toward your documented travel and lodging expenses.
PPS: This year, the entire day before the Info-SUMMIT, Bill Glazer will be conducting an ALL-NEW "Accelerated A-Z Blueprints Seminar" absolutely ideal for anybody new to info-marketing.
His previous "A-Z Blueprint" is available at the Glazer-KennedyWebstore.com in edited home study course, and you should have it. But this year's new A-Z Blueprint is really Blueprints ...plural - because Bill is going to take you through dozens of different step-by-step business models, different ways to enter and develop an info-biz, each one fully demonstrated with real case histories and proliferate examples of ads, sales letters, websites, info-products, etc. For you, this is the ultimate "crash course," to get totally and completely up to speed BEFORE you walk through those golden doors to the Summit.
Once again...to get all the details all you have to do is click onto the link below:

| Motivation from Theodore Roosevelt |
I really like this quote from Theodore Roosevelt
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is ACTUALLY in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is NO EFFORT without error or shortcoming, but who knows THE GREAT ENTHUSIASM, the great devotions, who spends himself for a WORTHY CAUSE; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of HIGH ACHIEVEMENT, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither VICTORY nor DEFEAT.” |

| Friends, would you believe it? |
Remember that TV commercial where the guy
sat in front of his computer, typed in exactly
what he wanted to have, and *POOF* it suddenly
appeared, seemingly out of nowhere?
I think it was a commercial for insurance.
But what if something like that actually existed?
A website you can go to, type in exactly what
you want, and watch it materialize, right in
front of you... sound impossible?
If it *IS* possible, you'd probably want to see
it for yourself, wouldn't you?
You might even be curious enough to try it and
see if it works. Well, what if you didn't even
have to pay for it?
What if it was a gift?
Well, if you have a few minutes and would like
to see what the heck I'm talking about, find out
for yourself if it works, and even read HUNDREDS
of real testimonials from real people who now use
this website on a daily basis to get everything
they've ever wanted -- you can check it out here:
=> http://www.UseManifestSoftware.com
Put your plastic away, because you won't need it.
This is a gift from me to you, and I sincerely hope
you enjoy it and use it to get everything you want.
Enjoy the gift!
Johan Setiawan
PS. If you're even remotely curious about this brand
new website, I urge you to accept this gift now. It
can change your life, like it has for hundreds of
others you'll read about when you click this link:

| Easy, so easy it's sinful! |
Ron Popeil (the Showtime Rotisserie infomercial guy) will tell
you to set it and forget it.
The same holds true with Instant Attention.
Just paste a line of code on the webpages you want Instant
Attention to display on and you're done.
All other changes are done via the web administration area.
Change your images, messages, even turn it off.
Now, imagine how much work that'll save you if you have pop-ups
displayed on 100 webpages? (You get 10 pop-ups with your account
and they can be used on as many domains and websites as you want.)
Change your sales message press update and POW, all your webpages
update with your new message.
For busy webmasters and site owners it's a dream come true.
Oh, and if you're not too sure about html it will save you a
fortune on webmaster and image design fees, too!
Instant Attention is hard to beat.
"Great idea! It works great and it is very easy to
change your pop-up. This saves everyone a lot of
time."

| Who? |
Michael was studying to become a doctor, but people began to
worry when he started a direct-marketing computer business in his
college dorm room. In 1987 at age 19 he dropped out to pursue his reckless dream of
running the little company full-time. He had some radical ideas. For example, he never held any
inventory. He only built his computers to order. In 2003 his little company was recognized as the most profitable
computer computer manufacturer in the world. Michael's last name, and the name of his company, is "Dell." He is now one of the richest people on the planet. He said ... "There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't
like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that
cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing
my favorite activities." Notice that he *liked* doing things that brought him closer to
his Target. Through your Daily Target Praxis you train yourself
to mentally *link* your Major Targets to your daily activities -
thus filling you with enthusiasm and joy at the prospect of what
others dismiss frivolously as "hard work." All the best, Johan Setiawan
