Dog help others: Free Website Linking Strategies: Part Two
Having effective Website Linking strategies creates new paths of traffic, customers, lead generation, credibility and trust to your site. The major search engines take this into account, when listing your site.
At the same time for someone to link to your site, you need to give a them reason why, a “what’s in it for me” for the site owner?
Ok, so now you need to tell me why I should link to your site? Give me a reason, is it because you are good looking 😉 or you like me very much (he begs on knees
)
One of the most common ways is that of the reciprocal arrangement, the exchanging of links for mutual benefit- A proven effective way to gain links and should form a part of any low cost linking strategy.
Another method is the affiliate arrangement, where you compensate me for my sales I create at your site. If done correctly a very profitable way as it creates a commission only sales force.
This is one of the most effective Website Linking strategies available and responsible for millions in sales every day.
The value arrangement- This is when you have the largest arrangement of items, information and help for my marketplace. A large site with targeted articles, products and free classifieds would form this model or a free webmaster tool you let me use.
The entertainment arrangement- This is for the sites that provide me with entertainment which then encourages others to share and use the content. The current example of this would be Myspace -the social network.
The Free arrangement This is where the site provides a free tool or software item, for webmasters to use and links are built into that tool when its in use. The best example of this would be a site that provides free webmaster tools like free web based forms -freedback.com .
In exchange for the easy to use tool, the program has a build in link back to the provider of the tool.
At the same time, very few sites encourage or make it easy, internal or deep linking, which is the linking to internal pages. For example a good article on a pet site should include, link to this article and provide the easy paste, html required to simply copy and paste the link on another site.
Some do have a “link to us” page, which is a start. Still the need for a reason needs to be employed for someone to take action.
As another example, I know of a marketing campaign by a software programmer who sells a product for webmasters selling for $97.00. In exchange for a verified link on a particular Page Rank on your site, he would give away a free full working version of the product (could you do this, with some planning?)
In conclusion, get creative and think outside the box. The budget does not need to large to find a way of getting others to link to you. A digital report or white paper, in Adobe PDF format on a particular focused problem can encourage others to link to you.
There are many effective linking strategies for marketing online at the same time, look at the reason why they should link to you, give a good reason for the webmaster to take action.
It has to be of excellent quality and value over deliver and you will build trust with your market. Under deliver and it becomes

Tips on How to Choose a Web Hosting Company – Helpful Things You Need to Know
If you want to build your home in the Internet, you’ll want to engage the services of a Web host. They will give you the space and the connectivity you need to get your site up and running in the World Wide Web. While there are free web hosting services available, paid hosting services are infinitely better and are the preferred choice for those who need more “power” and stability for their online presence.
Before finding a Web host, make sure you know what your requirements are. This is because the fee you pay generally depends on the amount of disk space and bandwith you need. Knowing what you need first gives you the chance to be specific with your Web host so you don’t have to pay for extraneous services you don’t need.
Web hosts offering different sorts of Web hosting services and plans flood the Internet. Weeding out the bad from the good and choosing the best over who’s simply better takes a little bit of patience and lots of research. Here are some traits that you should look for in a Web host:
1. Integrity. This is the first trait of any good Web host. Whether this provider is an individual or a company, your background check should reveal a reputation of professionalism, honesty and stellar service. Moreover, they should tell you all the costs up front. Some Web hosts offer attractively low package rates that have a lot of hidden charges should you decide on an upgrade later on.
2. Redundancy. No, this does not mean that they have to keep repeating themselves over and over. In Web-speak, redundancy refers to the number of connections they have on the Net. Ideally, a T3 connection is best, although T1 suits most small businesses.
3. Supportive. This is exactly what it says. Good Web hosts give you the necessary technical support when you need it. Do they offer 24/7 support? As some web hosts work from a different time zone, you’d want to have this kind of service so you’re assured that no matter what time in the day or night, you’ll have all the support you need in case of any glitch. How do they provide support? Will they be able to communicate through all means possible- email, chat, video conferencing or the phone? You have to be assured that they can be reached during critical situations.
4. Security. The Web host you choose should be able to guard your site against malware or hackers. With the rise of cyber crimes, you should have a web host that guarantees full security and protection for your website, especially if it’s a commercial site where customers share credit card information with you when they make a purchase.
5. Flexibility. You might start out with a simple web site, but over time, you might see the need to expand it. The Web host you choose should be able to accommodate your needs and upgrade your service plan without penalty. Moreover, they should also be flexible in terms of their platform features, templates and other areas that meet the needs of the people who patronize your website.
