Backlinks: The Fuel that Propels Sites to the Top of the Search Engines
Many people spend thousands of dollars on beautiful websites and then wonder why they don’t get any visitors? You can have the most beautiful website on the internet, but it is not going to produce any results if no one knows it exists. You need targeted traffic. What is targeted traffic? Targeted traffic refers to your targeted market or audience. How do you get targeted traffic to your sites? You need to be on the top of the search engines for the product or service you sell (another word for this is keyword or keyword phrase). How do improve your search engines rankings? There are two ways. You can spend thousands of dollars using Google Adwords or you can hire a link building expert to create backlinks. Lucky for you, I am a link building expert and I am going to show you a few ways you can build backlinks.
Backlinks are like fuel. However, not all backlinks are the same. There are backlinks that Google frowns upon and those are the ones you need to stay away from. Here are a few examples: FFA sites, link farms and spam sites. Stay away from these and don’t let anyone sell you a backlink package that will get your site on one of these. What you want to do is get quality backlinks from high page rank sites. Some people like to ask webmasters for reciprocal links and that’s ok. However, one way links are the best types of backlinks.
How can you get backlinks?
There are many ways of link building. I know because this is what I do for a living. I build backlinks for my own sites as well as my client’s sites. I want to warn you, it is time consuming. This is why so many people would rather outsource this work. I enjoy doing this work. As a mother to 7 kids (of which the youngest is autistic), it provides a great opportunity to work from home.
There are three effective methods that work immediately that anyone can do.
1. Social bookmarking is a great way to create one way links. You can get a link from your profile and from the article or post you bookmark. Please, be careful. Bookmarking a lot of your content can get you banned from most sites. Bookmark other content too and be generous. Making friends with other bloggers can prove to be very beneficial later on. (Using this method may also bring you a lot of traffic in a short amount of time).
2. Article marketing provides a lot of benefits. First of all, many article directories have high page rank. Another great benefit is that people may take your article and post it on their site which would produce a backlink from a different Class C ip address. The icing on the cake is that readers will see you as an authority on the subject you write for. (When I use this method for sites, the page rank improves rapidly).
3. RSS Feed Submission provides yet another way to get easy backlinks. Most RSS Feed Directories have high Google page rank. They tend to be indexed by search engines. There have been many instances that I have submitted RSS Feeds for sites and they have appeared on the first page of Google within minutes.
The most important advice about link building that I can give you is: TAKE ACTION. If you don’t take action, you will never succeed. If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can outsource your link building. Whatever you choose to do, do it. If you paid someone to create a website, make that investment work for you.

Happy Link Building!

Finding a Job as a Self-Taught Coder
During my time as being a teacher of the Java computer programming language I’ve read or heard one question many times with out fail: “Can I get a career as a self-taught programmer?”. In a word:
YES! Here is why:
Fewer Organizations Need Post-Secondary Education
I did a research for Java programming jobs on indeed.com and inside the second job that was posted, they specified that post-secondary wasn’t needed. A certificate in computer programming was all that was required. This emerging trend is a very good one for almost any programmers that are self-taught, and if you might ask me, it makes a lot of sense. Presently, businesses in North America are struggling to search for talented computer programmers and can not fill open programming jobs. I actually know this from first hand knowledge as I worked for a reputable company and was involved with the interviewing/hiring process. If the company just arbitrarily slaps around the mandatory condition that they require a post-secondary education, they’re neglecting a big pool of talent.
Nevertheless, most will debate that in that pool of talent, you can find both great and horrible computer programmers alike. This really is what they say post-secondary education is for, it’ll eliminate the terrible computer programmers… on the other hand I also recognize from first hand experience, that is not very true either. What’s definitely required of companies is really a good interview process as well as a system that will effectively assess the new workers throughout their first three months of employment.
The Business Path
Often individuals just believe that learning a computer programming language will most definitely benefit them by rewarding them with a Nine To Five job. Although this can be undoubtedly a great reward, it is only half the picture. Getting a nicely rounded skill-set as a developer opens up opportunities for you to make your own products and sell them. This idea is sometimes daunting to many people, but just take a look at my own story. I started learning regarding online business way back in July of 2012, and after only six months had passed, I had already start a blog site, written an ebook and built my first membership web site with actual paying clients. Things had been going well enough for me to even leave my day job and start pursuing this new passion full-time! Ever since then I haven’t looked back and am really happy with my work being an entrepreneur.
The lesson in this article, is that the information you acquire from understanding how to program by yourself can lead to places you never dreamed. Everything required is hard work, as well as the right kind of online education.
