Now that we have an awesome Lead Capture page for your prospects to come to, let’s focus on bringing in more prospects to that page! Right now I want to talk about backlinks. What are backlinks? Simply put a backlink is when you put up a post, video, article, etc. on one website like EzineArticles or Facebook and add a link to your main site on that article or post.
Obviously, the goal of these links is to have potential prospects click on them and see the opportunity you are offering. But there is also a more subtle advantage to spreading backlinks across the internet, two words: Search Engines. Search engines rank sites heavily based on the predominance of backlinks they have on the internet.
But don’t just start posting backlinks everywhere! Placement is important. For example, backlinks on your Facebook status won’t be helpful at all, as they are only temporary anyway! Articles are a great way to get more backlinks, but not all article sites are ranked high enough to even make your backlinks useful.
Below I have a great tool that will help you automatically sort through helpful sites vs. unhelpful ones and I will share with you the steps I have made to take advantage of those backlink opportunities.
There are hundreds of automated article submission programs out there, but this is far superior to others I have seen, as their article site rankings are constantly being updated to give you the best article databases for your backlinks and it’s completely FREE.
Go HERE to get it now. All you have to do to get started is enter your information and download the software they will give you.Once you have ASH downloaded onto your computer enter on the top the log-in information you want to use for the article databases. Then, on the right-hand side, enter in your article information as you want it to appear on the websites.
Then simply click on the site you want to post your article on (the higher the number the better the rank) and it will automatically fill in all of the information for you.
Your only job is to review the entered information and submit! For today you can use the Ezines article you posted a while back and add it to all of these article sites to increase your backlinks. The more articles you write the better your results will be!
Note: EzineArticles is the BEST website to submit your articles to! However, they are not compatible with automated article submission databases, so you will have to manually submit all of your articles to Ezines. It is highly recommended that you continue to use Ezines also, as they will give you the most traffic and the best backlinks.
There are a couple of other tricks I use to get backlinks using Web 2.0 sites, but before we do that you will first need a source for all of those Web 2.0 sites to draw from. Tomorrow we are going to set up your very own website which will be the foundation for your online presence, and an essential element to branding yourself in this industry.
