One of the best ways to get noticed in the search engines and rise up the ranks is taking time to do some SEO on your site. More traffic means more money and who couldn't use some more money right? It just makes sense to build your traffic up and do it the right way. I have seen so many e-books on how to get on top of google in 10 days or 8 days and blah blah.. or how to use a secret black hat trick. These tricks and tips are usually for the desperate or lazy webmasters.
It takes some time to build quality back links but one of the easiest ways is finding blogs with "do follow" tags and getting in on the discussion and leaving a link to your website. It takes time but good things come to those who do it right. You should find relevant blogs to post comments on for a better quality back link. Example: you own a blog about dogs so your better off finding a similar blog to post on than say a cooking blog. All back links count for something but a relevant blog will count for a lot more. So where do we find such blogs? Your in luck, I have a big list of blogs that are "do follow" and its yours for free. Just don't spam these bogs or the webmaster won't approve your comment plus its really rude. I didn't list PR because it does not matter as all blog comments are eventually moved to a non-ranked page sooner or later. Also blog ranks go up and down all the time.

Do follow blogs

We are proud to be a "do follow blog". I think its good for the bloggers and the blog to allow "do follow links" Nofollow stifles the incentive to comment. You get a nice little reward for making a good comment and more people will join the conversation if you allow back links. If you would like to remove the "Nofollow" tag from your blog its very easy to do.......
- Log into your dash board
- Click on the layout link or if your logged in click your Template Tab Save your current template!
- Then click edit html
- Check the box labeled expand widgets
- Look down the page or hit Ctrl-F and search for nofollow and hit enter
- Delete this part of the code rel= ' nofollow'
- search again and find the second one and remove it to allow backlinks.

Video search site
Video sites have become the new tool for web traffic. It's not surprising since most people had rather watch a video than read a bunch of text. Its hard to compete with videos as most people at some point has visited youtube or similar video sites to kill some time. Once you reach a site full of videos, its hard to not find something that catches your eye. Its amazing to see just how many people love to be in a video or produce one. Just about anyone today can easily make a clip and upload it to the internet.
One great tool to find relevant clips is to use a search site designed to search by key words you enter into a search bar just like goggle. There has been many such sites pop up all over the net and some have become really useful tools. Why use a video search site when I have a search function on youtube you may ask? One search video site called search-videos.org
will do a search on several tube sites and pull all the results to a single easy to use page. it will search youtube, metcafe, google video and daily motion all at once and give you many more options to choose from without having to visit each site individually saving you a lot of time.

Mp3 music site
There are numorous search sites out on the web today and new ones are popping up daily. Besides all the video you tube type search sites there are other type search sites that can be useful. How many people use peer to peer programs to download music? Well since the days of Napster its quite a few hundred million by now. One bad thing when using these peer to peer programs, you never know who or what your downloading from someone else. Many viruses have been spread from people using these things.
The new age of downloading music is here. Search mp3 sites have made it very convenient to find free music on the internet. One very good site that allows you to search for music mp3's as well as music lyrics is Gitmp3.com
Just visit the site and choose what type of search you want to do and type in your favorite artist or song. Gitmp3 will bring up all the known links and allow you to just listen or you can download it. They even have a handy bookmark and code for each mp3 so you can just paste it directly into your myspace web page or any other web page. Its a real neat search site.

Creat Your Own Website: Three Easy Steps!
1. Choose a template.
Thats easy! Just find a free website template distributor site. One site I recommend for free html templates is http://www.webtemplex.com
2. Inserting content into your template.
This is probably the most difficult aspect of starting your own webpage. Depending on how you want to do it, it most often requires basic knowledge of html. Fortunately, there are hundreds of online tutorials like w3 schools and quackit that are just a google search away!
3. Uploading your website to the internet.
Now that your website is finished, you obviously want to know how to get it on the world wide web so everyone can view it. To do this, you must first purchase a domain name then, you must find a host provider. Choosing a domain name is extremely important to the success of your website and choosing a good host is equally vital. Domain names can be bought very cheap nowadays, for as low as $6 dollars for .coms! Name.com is a very popular service for buying dirt cheap domains. As for website hosting, the industry is very competitive with a great variety of hosting providers to choose from.
How to Get free hosting
I have been working with online businesses for about ten years now. My how the time flies. I have been doing it professionally for about 5 years now. That means that I make a living doing it for those who need to make the connection. When I first started out in this business hosting and domain names were quite expensive. In todays world, everything has went up except hosting but if your in the business to make any real money then you already know you need more than one website to make a living. Ok, I admit some very lucky people have hit the jackpot with just one great idea and just one website but if your like me and I will assume most are, your not going to make it with just one site.
I'm not going to give you some secret concept here nor will it be new to a lot of people but if your just getting your feet wet in the business, this just might be an idea to build upon. It's very simple and require some work on your part but its not hard to do. Did I say you would have to actually do stuff? Of coarse you will, money don't grow on trees and you don't make it from doing nothing. I have over twenty websites right now and I pay absolutely nothing to host them and I have not paid a dime in over 3 years.
Did you know that there are still lots of businesses that do not have a business website? I am talking about everyday people running everyday type businesses like carpenters or car salesmen just for an example. The internet is such the big hype these days that most every business feels the need to have its own dot com even if it adds no real value to their business. Most feel the need to include a dot com on their business card. People feel like they aren't professional or people won't see them as a serious business without one. This is where you can cash in! This is where you make them pay for your web hosting. Lots of web hosts offer huge amounts of space for about seven dollars a month. I use servage.com but you can find many good hosting packages for around seven dollars. You get mega loads of web space.
All you have to do is go out in your local area and find some companies and offer to build them a web page for their company. Just use the example that they can include it on their business cards and explain how people can look it up and find important info like phone number, address or business hours. I charged forty dollars a year and included a domain name and web page plus hosting. Next year you can reduce the rate to thirty dollars. Just a plain simple html page and 10 minutes of your time. thats it and remember its not going to need updating on a regular basis. thats about thirty dollars profit per web site. Do the math, you get thirty dollars profit per site and just get ten businesses. Thats three hundred dollars in profit for hosting you pay sixty dollars a year to cover it all. These one page sites won't take any real space and you get the benefit from them. If you just sell two web pages you have made your hosting money for the year! Once I got one business on board and built his web page, he told a friend and before I knew it I had more business than I wanted. I now not only get my hosting for free but I also make a nice profit too. Not one customer has canceled the service since I started. If you wanted to, you could turn this into a nice money making business by itself. You just build it and let it sit on your server. You don't have to drive traffic to these sites because they aren't in the web business. It's like anything else in life, the more you put into it the more you will get out of it but it's not hard to just get two businesses to acept your offer and that alone will pay for your hosting for a year. It doesn't get any easier than this!
Ecommerce for Small Businesses
Ecommerce is selling your products over the internet but its also a lot more than that. Its also getting your products or services safely to the customer. Your business should process a payment very quickly and it should not be confusing to the customer. I have visited many online stores to purchase products to only come away wondering just what the heck the webmaster was thinking by the layout of the products page all the way to the processing of the credit card. One of the biggest mistakes I see made is the amount of pages I have had to click through on my way to the check out. Thats after I had picked my products. Every extra step you put between the products page and the final submit page is going to loose more and more business. The best check out is no more than 3 steps. Pick your product, fill in your information then submit and get a confirmation. Thats it! There is no need for any other steps. This will get you more sales. Most customers are buying on a quick though that they want your product. The longer you delay getting their money the longer they have time to decide that they really don't need the product. Be smart and keep your checkout as direct as possible.
