99 Cent .com Domain Name! Get in on this Deal

There is a deal right now at Godaddy.com that you can buy a dot com domain name for only 99 cents.  This is only available by using a coupon code at the checkout, and only one per account.  Regular price to register a domain there is 7 or 8 bucks a year, so this is a pretty good savings and elminates any excuses one might have to go register a creative domain name.

 

From time to time between real estate and finance related posts, I like to share SEO, internet marketing, and money saving tips with my friends.  If you want to get in on some of these bargains, just subscribe to this blog.

Submit Your Website to Free Directories Online

Yesterday I received an email from a fellow AR member who was asking me for a good source for inbound links.   I have my website included in many directories online, many of which I manually submitted it to myself, but also many more that I paid to have my site submitted to.  Directories are like an online version of the yellow pages.  They are simply central websites that contain links to many other wesites by category.  At one time they were extremely significant in achieving top search engine placement.  While they are not as significant a factor anymore, they are still important and a cheap and simple way to increase your websites presence on the internet and search engine ranking.

Directory submission is definitely something that you can do yourself, and there are lots of free directories that you can submit your website to.  The only drawback to submitting to lots of these free directories is that it takes quite a bit of time to search them all out, then to fill in all the same information over and over and clicking submit.  If you get busy doing submissions, you can maybe submit to 10 in an hour, so depending upon what your time is worth you may wish to do that.

 

A better way is to pay a professional submission service to submit you to the free directories.  They obviously utilize some automated script to fill in the forms, as they charge as little as 14 cents per submission!   For that low price, I can't imagine that anyone would want to do it any other way.

 

Here is the company that I have successfully used to submit my sites to the free directories:

 



I would recommend anyone with a website spends $30 or $40 on directory submission.  Having your site listed in all those free directories create lots of one way links to your site, helps the search engines spider it much much more often, and keeps you current in the search engine placements.

Link Exchange, SEO, Your Website, and What to Do Next

Many people have websites that go completely unknown and unnoticed due to their lack of proper search engine optimization.  For some people, they have no idea where to start when it comes to tweaking and improving their website so that it not only gets picked up by google but also is looked at by google as being a relevant website and receive a higher placement.

 

Take for example a site that I just recently started in mid-january, about 30 days ago.  That site is:  LethbridgeRealEstateBlog.com    This is now my outside blog for Active Rain and has received great traffic and has actually generated prospects for my business already.

 

Since starting from scratch I was able to take that website and not only get the top organic placement in google for my keywords, I have also taken 4 of the top 10 google placements for my keywords.  That is amazing, that I was able to take a website less than 4 weeks old and knock much older and well established sites out of their placement so quickly and easily, and you can do it too.  Some people without any experience at SEO will have their websites sit for weeks or even months without ever peing spidered by the search engines.

 

Learning SEO skills is fairly easy if you take an interest in it and spend some time tweaking and modifying your site to gather feedback on what works and what does not.  One of the criteria which has decreased in significance lately, but is still important for a few reasons is inbound links to your website.  Google believes that if other people see your site as credible, informational, and valuable then they will link to it, makes sense.  The number of links to a great site is many many more then the number of links to a crappy useless site with no content or value.

 

There are 3 ways to gain links.  1. Post lots of good content on your site and eventually people will find it and link to it.   2. Buy links on other sites and directories.  3. Exchange links with other people who have similar content sites with similar keywords and content.

 

"If you build it he will come."  If you build a great website you will find that people approach you and ask to have a link on your site.  As an example,  LethbridgeRealEstateBlog.com  website has had 3 requests this week from others in the mortgage industry requesting to have a link placed on one of my pages.  Now you do not want to become a link farm, but selecting key linking partners is a great way to increase your links to keyworded sites as well.

 

So here is your chance to get a link to your website out.  Make a comment here on this blog, list the url of your website and a description of it and invite others with similar content to exchange a link with you.  Dont post your URL if you will not exchange with other good sites and dont be offended if your site is crappy and people dont want to link with you, improve your site instead.

 

 

 

 

Here is my site and criteria:

 

LethbridgeRealEstateBlog.com
a blog about real estate and mortgage financing focusing upon Lethbridge Alberta. Accepting link exchanges from others who have sites that match any 2 of these criteria:
1. decent google pagerank
2. regularly changing and updating content (like a blog etc)
3. real estate and/or mortgage content
4. website about Lethbridge

 

*FREE TIP: hey AR people, notice how I hyperlinked the website name and my keywords so they link to my website.  Google notices not only what pages, but also what words link to your site.  Link your keywords to your site and your ranking for those keywords will improve!
