I wrote a script to check through all of the above supposed ping services, and found that quite a few of them were 404’s, parked pages, and various other errors. So I got rid of the invalid ones, and made a new list of correct ones below.

Enjoy!

There’s plenty of software out there that will tell you what your competitors are doing. We decided to put SEO Fox to the test to see if it’s the best option for people out there looking to increase search engine presence across multiple search engines – Google in particular.

First of all, SEO Fox services are extremely easy to use. The team is easy to work with, and will help you implement an entire marketing strategy for your business. We’re not just talking SEO here – SEO Fox services will get you going with PPC services, a social media strategy, and anything else that you need to get a full-tilt marketing plan going for your business.

This gets a thumbs up from us. If you aren’t approaching marketing for your business in a holistic way in this day and age, you’re missing out on valuable customers. We’re finding more and more that customers resent being “sold”, and that the best way to keep a customer coming back for your services is to get them interested as part of a process, rather than moving on to the next customer who you bug to death until a conversion happens.

With a service like SEO Fox, you can get the competitive data you need to understand what is attracting your customers, what your competition is out there doing, and you’ll get a friendly staff to help you develop a marketing plan for your website.

Is the Cost Worth It?

We’d have to say yes. A comprehensive marketing plan isn’t something that you should skimp on. As we’ve said before, you shouldn’t just throw your sail into the wind and see where you end up, or follow exactly what your competitors are doing rote by rote and expect to end up at the top of the market. It’s very important to create a unique marketing plan that fits your business, and SEO should be a major part of that.

So, why not work with a company that you know will have your best SEO interests in mind?

We found that the SEO Fox staff can put a plan together that will benefit your business, and will allow you to compete with a fully integrated, holistic marketing plan. This approach is one that few agencies seem to be using these days, as each agency seems to want to sell you on one point for money’s sake.

We’ve talked a lot more about the staff and the full plan here than the actual software – but believe us, this is worth it, too. You can see for yourself with a competitor back linking report that you can purchase for just a few bucks at www.seofox.com .

Now that it’s taking more to get customers to buy from you, it’s a must to be ahead of your game. SEO Fox can help you do that. It’s a good idea to have a fully integrative marketing plan for your business.

After receiving a large amount of requests to review textlinks.com, I decided to dive in, create an account and build some links. textlinks.com makes a bold claim, their motto is a “revolutionary new way to create quality, relevant backlinks to your website”.  I have to admit that with such a claim, I was initially skeptical, however after spending a good two hours building links through their site, I found the service incredibly useful for building high quality backlinks.

The most appealing feature of textlinks.com is the ability to evaluate their service with no restrictions for 21 days. On top of that, they don’t even require you to submit any type of payment information before you begin. Now how’s that for a trial?

Getting started

The sign-up process could not be easier. Simply provide your first and last name e-mail address phone number desired username and password and you are ready to begin.

1. Click Here to Sign Up
2. Enter your information
3. Login

Add a Target Page

Once you are logged in, it is very simple to begin building links to your site. First you will add a target page. This target page, use the page to which you will be building links.

1. Once you are logged in, click “sidebar links”
2. Click the “add target page” button
3. Under target anchor text, enter your targeted keyword or key phrase
4. Under target page, enter the URL of the site you are building links to
5. Click Add Target page

Now that you have added a target page, you have the ability to build links to that page through the various link building options.

Select the Type of Link You’d Like to Build

When building links through text links.com, you are presented with various link building options.

Sidebar Links

Sidebar links are some of the most popular, and most clicked. This means they are beneficial for both SEO, and traffic. Although it is most common to see sidebar links on blogs, you will often see sidebar links on websites of all walks of life. These links are highly visible, and most of the time they are  ’site wide’, meaning, they will be displayed on every page of the website.

Footer Links

Footer links are also popular in the world of link building. These links contain just as much juice as a sidebar link. The main difference between a footer link in the sidebar link is, visibility.  Obviously a footer link is not as visible as a sidebar link since it is at the bottom of the page. Footer links will very rarely get you traffic, however they hold their value in SEO.

Contextual Links

This is where text links.com begins to rise above their competitors. So, what is a contextual link? A contextual link is a link within a blog post which is related to the keyword that you specify. So if I wanted links from blog posts related to SEO, I simply type SEO in the search box and click search. textlinks.com Will locate blog posts related to SEO. The ability to build contextual links, is one of the great features of this system. One of the most important factors when building links is to keep the link within context. For example, if you own a website that sells computers, you want your back links to be from computer or technology related websites. This tells the search engines that your website is relevant to that topic. Throw in some quality keyword research and you have a recipe for SEO success.

Article posts

This feature allows you to write your own article or blog posts, which can be posted to one or more of the 8000 blogs in the text links.com database. In this post were allowed to include up to three different text links. Each post must contain a minimum of 100 words.

Build Those Links!

Once you have selected the appropriate link type, a list of your target pages will be displayed.

To start building links simply click the “select links” button.

From the select links page, you have the option to either search a keyword or browse sites by category. I have yet to find a category that is not listed in this directory.

Once you have narrowed down your search, you are shown potential pages where you can place your link, pricing is based on the pages Google page rank. You can even see eight page preview and the exact URL of each site. when you are ready to add a link, click the checkbox next to the link, then click the “add link to selected pages” button. It’s as easy as that. Now if you go to that site, you will immediately see your link. These links are never marked as no follow, so rest assured, these links will carry juice for increasing link popularity.

There are more words out there than the ever-coveted “top tier” terms. If you aren’t researching keywords that are a little less competitive and possibly a lot easier to rank your website with, maybe you should consider it.

There are a ton of great tools out there to help you figure out what those keywords are.

Google Insights for Search

For starters, Google has great tools that are built just so you can see what’s going on out there in web world – specifically, what people are out there looking for. Google Trends and Google Insights for Search.

http://trends.google.com and http://www.google.com/insights/search allow you to type in certain keywords, and find out different keyword trends that vary by city, and by date.

You unfortunately won’t get exact numbers – for instance, you would be able to see that 1,431,000 people worldwide searched for a particular keyword in May of 2006. If that is the type of specific information you’re looking for, you might want to look elsewhere.

Google will, however, give you an idea based on a linear of scale of how the search volume of a particular keyword has changed over time. You will also get city and country information for top searches, and can narrow your search by region.

Google Keyword Tool

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Google’s Keyword tool is also an incredible asset, as it lets you examine the competition you’ll find for each keyword. Take a look at the competition meter next to the keyword you type in within your results. It’s a very handy tool to determine which words have little competition.

Keyword Spy

There are plenty of other keyword tools out there that are subscription-based. Keyword Spy, Spyfu, and other popular tools can help you figure out what keywords your competitors are using. This could be valuable information to determining the lowest competition keywords out there for you.

I’ve Got My Keywords – Now What?

After you’ve made a creative list of low competition keywords, start local. Target a few local markets in major cities of your choosing, and make sure tracking is in place to see how your SEO efforts are going. When you get good rankings in those local markets, then you can move on to more and more cities. Make sure to keep track of your national or global rankings, if applicable, throughout the process.

There are plenty of ways to do effective SEO. Make sure that you continually improve your on page factors and continue to hunt for effective backlinks throughout building your SEO campaigns. And remember … if you don’t have tracking software in place, you really shouldn’t start any campaigns. If you don’t have any idea how far you’ve come, you won’t be able to measure tangible goals, and develop a plan to get there.

Some say that routing your URL to be accessible by WWW is the best way to go – some say the WWW is implied. Do you regularly type in the WWW when you access a website?

If you think it’s implied and possibly a little redundant, you’re not alone. There’s an entire movement of people out there who want to completely do away with the WWW, and are setting up their servers to do a redirect to their domain name without the WWW. They’re hoping this will dissuade WWW users from bothering to type in the prefix.

What About SEO?

There are differing standpoints on whether or not including the WWW prefix disrupts your SEO. Some say that Google will bump you up if your site can be accessed using both WWW, and without the prefix. Some want to do away with WWW entirely. Some only want to use WWW.

Whatever your flavor, the best way to figure out which is going to work for your site is testing. If your site has a ton of visitors and great SEO indexing, it’s probably best to leave the site alone.

There’s tons of info out there about how to do a 301 redirect using your .htaccess file. If you’re using Wordpress, you’ll unfortunately find it a little difficult to get your blog not to redirect for either WWW or non-WWW. Meaning, that if you want your users to get to your site using both www.example.com and example.com without a redirect, you’re going to have to get into your code.

functions.php

Your theme functions file should be accessible under Appearance/Editor. When you log into your dashboard, find that file. It’s called functions.php, but in the Default Theme for example, it’s called “Theme Functions”.

Once you find the file, insert this line of code under the header information in the file:

It should only take up one line, and not be attached to any other lines of code.

This code should allow any visitor to your site to access your wordpress site using both the WWW prefix, and without the prefix.

What if I want either one, but not both?

Forget getting into that .htaccess file – there’s an easier way.

Under your blog’s general settings, Wordpress asks what you want the address of your blog to be:

Rather than dealing with hacking into code, simply type in either the www prefix before your domain name, or leave the WWW off. Whatever you put in is what Wordpress will use to index you. It’s as simple as that!

Wordpress makes life on the web so much easier in so many ways. It’s a great, customizable CMS, and when it comes to optimizing your SEO in whatever way possible, Wordpress has that kind of flexibility. Just figure out what your preferred prefix option is, and use the handy tips above to customize your installation. Remember to check your SEO rankings regularly!

There are several reasons to back link, especially if you’re an affiliate. While it is true that 5 back links from a website with a great page rank can be more effective for SEO than 15 back links with a not-so-great page rank, back links aren’t only about SEO.

There are plenty of things that you should know about back links, and they don’t just have to do with the page rank quality. Read on to make sure you’re conceptualizing and using back links in the most appropriate way.

1. Bad Back links Many people pay advertising firms or freelance contractors to create back links to their sites. While this is a great idea, I’ve seen many situations happen where instead of reliable, well-written back links, firms are posting what essentially amounts to comment spam on blogs with good page ranks.If you want a link to a site with a good page rank, it’s better to approach the webmaster, offer the value of your site to them and offer to trade a link, and see what happens without pushing. If not, you could end up with a real PR issue on your hands. A company with a great page rank, and a site with lots of readers, could create real problems for you if you’re sending people over to spam on their blogs. Approach people with civility and caution, and you won’t have any problems.
2. Back Linking for More than Organic Success Sometimes, a back link isn’t only good for getting your site higher in the organic listings. Google may value back links highly as part of the organic algorithm, but other search engines like Bing rely more on on-site factors.If you are selling something on your site, or doing some affiliate marketing, it’s a good idea to use back links in order to get more converting visitors to your site – not just for SEO.You don’t necessarily have to worry about page rank if you’re doing it this way – find a site that’s relevant to what you’re selling, and politely insert a back link to your site than can attract attention from visitors that may possibly convert.
3. Back Linking with Social Media You can bump your SEO and increase your social media brand by linking your websites to various social media accounts. It’s always a good idea to get your brand’s reach out there as far as possible. Linking from Youtube, Facebook, etc. may not traditionally be the kind of back linking that’s referred to out there, but it’s important to establish your network and create a link between your various identities on the net.

Back linking isn’t just about seeking out who’s out there with a great page rank – it can be applied in all sorts of different ways. Choose the one that’s best for your marketing plan.
