Originally I had asked the man Ruck, over at Convert2Media what some good ways to promote my offer with some organic traffic, besides PPC.  The answer was short and simple, Yahoo Answers.  I actually did not pursue this at first, because I felt it would take to long for the traffic to hit, if any at all, and it would be hard to convert that traffic.  I was wrong on one thing already, and that was the amount of time it will take for you to get traffic after you answer the question. The first time I answered a question, with relevant information, and a good answer, I was reward quickly with traffic.  If this remains true, think about all the niches that are out there, and how many categories there are on Yahoo Answer. Don’t sound like Spam, and if you actually answer some of the questions with the correct answers, you might be rewarded for it.

To get you guys thinking, what if you were to do this for every offer Convert2Media had to offer? With some time on your hands, and some relevant good content, your bound to get some conversions.

1. Sign up for a network:
(Watch out shameless affiliate plug coming in)
Convert2Media
Ads4Dough

2. Sign up for Yahoo Answers:
Yahoo Answers

3. Answer some Questions.
4. Get Paid!

Pretty simple concept. This is just the beginning of the idea, but throw your own spin in there to get even more nuggets.

Okay, looks like I caught on to this idea too late, and Yahoo has caught on.  There may be other question sites out there that you can look for.  I’d like to hear if anyone finds any, for now this looks like a did.

1. Submit to PR Directories. Refer to this post:
Although, the weight of page rank link juice that it gives out has declined since directories started, it still is a great way to get your site crawled for a certain keyword. You can outsource this, however, make sure you get a detailed report, to what ones were submitted, the ones accepted/rejected, and also the anchor text used. Make sure you get one that is “manually submitted”, and high pr directories.

2. Link Exchange. This one may not be the best way, because you can end up linking to a harmful site that has been penalized in google, and this can weigh on you, so use this one as last resort. This way however can work with friends that have sites going, and know they are legit. Another way is to offer some content to another site in return for a link back to yours. You can also search around WickedFire, and DP. You can find me on there too.

3. Link Bait. I got this method from Mr. Chow. Basically , you lure them in with a post like:
“Review my site for a free backlink”, or something of that nature. On your post, you simply tell your readers that if they do a review of your blog, you will link to there review. Give them an incentive to write a good review too! Tell them the best writer gets a prize! Who doesn’t want a chance at winning, whatever it is. Just look at the Contest posts in DP, you will be amazed the quality of work you can get done, as long as there’s a prize for the winner.
Note: Read this post: http://www.johnchow.com/its-all-about-pushing-the-limit/
Seems like the man actually got penalized for using this technique. He no longer holds number one for his name. This maybe because he used the same anchor text each time when requesting the link.

4. Write Articles. This one takes the most time, unless of course you do like I do and outsource your content. If you have money in the game, and have enough time to write all the unique content it takes to get ranked now a days, and keep a kick ass blog like this (kidding of course) , then hats off to you, but just remember there’s kids on wickedfire/dp at your fingertips with English majors that are ready to write an article for you for .3c a word. However you get your article, submit it to article sites Like ezine.com. People that use your article must include a link to your website below the article. Chaching! Don’t get too excited, you need to make sure not to put the same article on your site. Use the article only for article purposes, to avoid duplicate content, from the article site, and others posting your article!

5. Add Your Link to Wikipedia

6. Digg stories- This one should always be done when first introducing a site to google. Digg gets crawled every single day, most of the time more times than one. As you were reading this post, Digg most likely has been crawled. Okay, you get the idea, submit to Digg, but what do I submit? Submit articles that you think Digg users with Digg. Do some research, see what stories are making it to the front page, and capitalize! If you’re on the front page, that M O N E Y . You will get enormous amounts of traffic. John Chow used techniques to get himself on the front page, and you can too.

7. Trackbacks – You know that option in WordPress when you’re writing a blog post and always skip, well if you are citing a site, don’t skip this part! This will notify the poster that you have linked to their post, and will most of the time , if they see it, they will link back.

8. Participate in Forums – There are thousands of forums out there just waiting for your link. The only problem is, you sign up, spam your site, it will most likely get removed. You have to be a ninja. Yes, a ninja, don’t make it so obvious your spamming. There are techniques you can do , one popular one, is ask for a review of your website. But remember, to add your correct anchor text! As stated in my directory post, don’t use the same anchor text each time. Switch it up.

9. LinkXL- If you have any budget at all for your project, this site is for you. Their main goal is bringing you quality backlinks on sites relevant to yours, with your anchor link. You can do a search for your niche, and find a relevant site that is selling a link on their page. Some are extremely cheap, like $1.00, and some are expensive, like $36.00. It is by a monthly subscription, and most of the time the renewal price is cheaper.

10. Comments – One quick way to get a link, is to search for a ranked blog, preferably in your niche, and comment away, remember to use your anchor text

10. Top Comment Plug in - This one is so good, it had to have its own post, check out:
Commenting isn’t everything but it got you here.

12. Social Media - This has blown up recently. Social Media is Internet and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information.  Sites like Digg, Reddit , Del.icio.us and Yahoo’s new Buzz are some social media sites. Make sure to install a plug-in on your blog to make it easy for your readers to submit your sites to these sites.  Doing this can gain you “votes”, which can maybe get you on the front page.  The more people that bookmark you sites like , Del.icio.us, the better for your site link popularity. Here are some other examples.. Flickr, Zooomr, Photobucket, SmugMug , YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, Revver , epinions, Yelp , Avatars United, Bebo, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Orkut, Skyrock, Netlog

More techniques welcome, I’m always looking for more, and I’m sure so is my readers ..

Finding the Directories

There are plenty of sources of directories of course, but you want the ones that are going to add your link the fastest, and ones that have at least a 1 page rank. Install the Google toolbar, and set it to display page rank. Some sites have pending links of 1,000+ , we’ll skip those.

Some other sources besides Google:

Digital point has a great category for directories and they are on their daily approving links. They will also welcome any site as long as it’s in their guidelines, with a fast approval.

Also sharing directory lists with others can prove to be quite helpful, as long as they are high ranking and active.

Submitting

Name: -Is not displayed to the public and/or is not indexed therefore it is not so vital.
URL: – This is your link-period. Make sure that this is all correct or you will have to spend extra time correcting the problem, which will set you back. As always directory links are do follow.

Anchor Text: This is very important part. There are two ways to accomplish this. One, is to submit them all with the same anchor text, ie your keyword. Or the second, which is doing it for multiple variations of the keywords.

Description: Take the time out and write a drafts, this way for each one you have something different to avoid duplicate content. Don’t even use text from your site, make it completely unique.

This should get you going on your submitting.  You can do it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you on WickedFire. 

Do you submit your sites do Directories?
What approach do you take?  Pay or do it yourself?

Once the first review is submitted, I will post a current review contest deadline.  This deadline will always be 1 week after the first review is received, and will be posted in the category for that specific contest.  You can always view what the current contest is, status, and when the deadline is here on that post.

First prize is review featured on the featured article on the front page of my blog.     

What are some things I am looking for in the review?

Unique Ideas, and useful, and thought out comments.  Grammar and good English will of course be a big part in me picking the best review.  It can be a design review, content review, SEO review,  any skill you have, you can apply it to your review, and more than likely that will result in a quality review, and will be very helpful for DiggaLive, which consists of not just me , but you, the reader as well.

If you do not win, I will still feature you under, the Reviews Category.  If writing reviews are not for you, and you still would like to take part in the site, you can also submit your own article.  I will be installing some Ajax forms, to make it easier for submission.  For now, both contests can be sent to my email at, digga121@gmail.com.  In the future, I am planning on offering nice prizes for the best articles, and best review articles.
