And then there is this one: If you stare into the centre, you can see a green dot going around the circle.

Here is a great post on how RSS feeds work.I found it to be quite interesting and helpful. Hope it helps you just as much.

I can tell you right now, it’s not a place you find on the web where you join a link exchange program to get some links to your web site. I made that mistake already. You don’t have to.

It’s not a web site on the Internet you find and hit “submit link” and think your rankings will get you on the first page of Google and thousands of people will come flocking to your site because they can finally find you.

And it’s definitely not an automated link exchange program you found to get you automatic links while you sleep.

What about a free link exchange? Don’t do it if it’s an FFA (free for all) web site. Period. Just do not submit your web site link there, ever.

So what CAN you do to get started on some serious link building techniques that will get you listed on the first page of Google?

1. Do your homework.
2. Find out what keywords people are actually typing into the search engines, not which ones you “think” you want to rank for that people “might” be typing into a Google or Yahoo search engine box.
3. If you merely “guesstimate” which keywords you want to build links for, you just wasted one valuable year of your life. If you want to know the # 1 Keyword Research Tool is that I use, please go to my web site and view item 3 of this article.
4. Check your competition’s web sites. Type a keyword you want to rank for on Google, then look at the first two organic (free) web sites’ source code. What keywords are in their title tag? Grab them. Start making a list on a piece of paper of these keywords.
5. Repeat step 4 for any keywords you’ve researched that actually GET searches, then, and only then, can you start some serious, one way link building efforts.
6. There is quite a bit more research I can tell you to implement regarding your competition, and you can find out how many links you will need to beat your competition, but that will have to be for another day. You’re already 99 per cent ahead of the game with the steps I’ve outlined for you in this free link building article.
7. Start writing articles. Not just any articles, either. Make sure the title of your articles start with one of the keywords you just spent time reasearching. If you want to rank for SEO Services, then make sure your article title is something like, SEO Services for Less. Always try and make the first words in your title tag and article titles your primary keywords. The search engines read from left to right.
8. Place the primary keywords in the first sentence or paragraph of your article, then again in the last sentence or paragraph of your article.
9. Make sure you place other secondary keywords you have researched that are in direct relation and highly relevant to your article and product–place these secondary keywords throughout your article. Make sure they flow for the reader. It must make sense.
10. Once you have an article with at least 500, preferable 750, words, post it on article directory site in the related category to your product or service. Make sure you choose an article directory site that lets you make your primary keyword an anchor text link. If they only let you place your web site in the article, or only under the author’s information, I wouldn’t waste my time submitting my unique, original article on their site. (Do not submit the article on more than one article directory site.)
11. You are trying to get one way links with anchor text primary keywords to your relevant landing page.
12. Do not send every article to your home page. Send it to an article or page you have written that has the article and title keywords in the URL. This will then be highly relevant anchor text link, and you will rank easier for that keyword.
13. We all want to outsource. But you will get seriously burned if you hire someone who has no idea how to get you one way link building correctly. Hire an extreme SEO expert. Everyone says they are an expert though. It takes more effort for an SEO professional to undo the damage done by uneducated link builders all over the Internet who seriously do not have a clue how to optimize for true, one way link building.

If you have a website, and you would like to help me out by putting my web site link on your home page, it would mean a lot to me.

Or, perhaps you can grab my RSS feed and share my new articles with others when I publish them. Hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask for help, because I enjoy helping others, too.

Keep up on link building, because it is an ongoing effort. Your competition will keep adding more links for your primary keywords, so you have to keep building yours to get higher search engine rankings, too.

As you can see, I am new to this. I got my ispiration from Here.

What is a trackback?
A Trackback is like a remote comment.

It simply allows you to comment about another blog on your own blog and then the software lets the other blog know you’ve referenced it.

Why should you use trackbacks?

A trackback is good for both blogs. You want to use them and you want other people to use them.

The trackback allows you to continue a discussion from another blog on your own blog.

For instance, your friend might blog about her daughter’s favorite toy. You read her post and you decide to write a post on your own site about that same toy and how your daughter also likes it. You want to link to her post in your entry and then send a trackback to her post.

How do you use a trackback?

Using a trackback is actually pretty simple. After you’ve done it once, you’ll wonder why you waited so long.

See my video How To Use Trackbacks Tutorial on Google Video!

How to trackback can vary slightly depending on which blogging software you are using, but the main steps are the same.

Unfortunately, some free blogging software, such as Blogger, does not support trackbacks. If your blog doesn’t offer trackback functionality, you may be able to use the free commenting service HaloScan to add trackback support to your blog. You can read what Emily Robbins has to say about HaloScan on her blog.

I’m going to step you through this. Don’t worry if it sounds a bit complicated as I try to explain the process. It’s a bit like tying your shoelaces – it can be hard to explain the steps, but once you know how to do it, it’ll be second nature.

Step 1
Write your new post as you normally would and mention the blog entry you’re going to send a trackback to.

It is good etiquette to include a link to the other blog in your post. To do that, you want to link to the permalink url.

To get the permalink url, click on the permalink hyperlink at the bottom of the post you want to reference.

Then copy the url from the address field of your browser and paste it into your new blog entry. Include that url in a link as you normally would.

For example, you might say something like…

Step 2
Get the trackback url from the blog you want to reference.

Look at the bottom of this post, and you’ll see a hyperlink called “Trackback url”.

Right-click on that hyperlink and select “Copy Shortcut”.
(If you’re using FireFox, right-click and select “Copy Link Location”.)

The link url should be something like
http://www.5minutesformom.com/47/using-trackback/trackback/

On other blog platforms the url may be written out under a heading called “Trackback URL for this post” as shown below. In that situation, just select the url and copy it to your clipboard.

Step 3
Paste the trackback url into the field where you are writing your new entry.

The field should be labeled something like “Send trackbacks to” as shown in the two examples below.

In WordPress, it looks like…

Step 4
Publish your post as you normally would.

Voila! You’re done. You have just used a trackback.

You can now go to the site to which you sent the trackback, and look to see if your trackback is showing. Different sites may show this differently. On WordPress blogs like this one, it will show in the comments section as a trackback. See the sample below.

Make sure your blog can accept trackbacks.

Most blogging platforms allow trackbacks and I think most should have the default set to allow trackback pings. (Ping is just the term used when one blog notifies the other blog about the trackback.)

The images below show two examples of trackback settings. The checkbox on the right that says “Allow Pings” shows how WordPress controls trackbacks. Other blogging software may say something like “Allow Trackbacks” as in the image on the left.

See my video How To Use Trackbacks Tutorial on Google Video!

Let’s Summarize
Trackbacks are great and you definitely want to start using them to help promote your blog.

To use a trackback, write a post on your blog and use a permalink to link to someone else’s blog entry. Then copy that other entry’s trackback url into your post’s trackback field and publish your post.

Now you can write a post on your blog about how you love to trackback and encourage your readers to start using trackbacks.
