Marketing Tips

[Greg]

Ok then I am working on the right things right now.

I have done that. Free Search Engine Optimization.

I have submited to over 800,000 search engines, tried to list in DMOZ, Manually submitted to MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and MSN.

I think what I am missing out on is linking. My home page does not allow me to post most of the link commands required for linking to several sites I have seen that have good Search Engine Optimization and are willing.

I am equal to MBL in Search Engine Optimization. But struggling with Google.

Here is the Link Popularity...

I have a directory listing in FL to give him buisiness from time to time as well.

It couldn't hurt to ask him. I think if you were able to send him some business, and close his deals efficiently, he would be exclusive. He's coming up for Christmas, I'll talk to him and let you know next week.

Ok. Thanks for this. Very nice of you to think of me.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Google number... they delay updating cached backlinks usually until they run a PageRank update - which happens every other month or so. You'll see numbers there after the next update.

[Greg]

Yeah but look at LIH. Such unbalanced results for google versus the other engines.

I noticed MSN indexed every page on my site.

My page rank is 2. I had done nothing but post in forums when it was a 2. I wonder if I will finally get a 4 after all of this work.

[Erik]

Yeah... Google doesn't show all the backlinks they have registered, for some reason. They show even less if you try to look a site up directly from Google.com. If you use a tool from another site that taps into Google's API (programming interface), you'll see higher backlink numbers. I show 209 for LIH today on Google and 6,680 on Yahoo.

[Greg]

Is that tool on the web for free you are speaking of? Post a link.

[Erik]

Indeed, it is. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ - there are several very useful tools there, but the keyword tracker/backlink tracker is by far the best.

I signed up 3 days ago but the site was lagging badly so I did not use it so much. I struggled to enter all my keywords because of the lag.
