So today I used my Good Keywords v2.1 that I told you about way back when. I use it to check my links and my PR ranking on all my sites. The only option I wish this program had was to update all the sites at the same time. Maybe it does, but I don't see it if it does.
So back to where I was. I had been a bit disappointed that most of my new, from scratch sites weren't listed for a PR ranking yet.
Much to my surprise this morning ALL of my sites came back with a 1 or a 0 ranking. I'm certain this is because of the linking I've been working on, not to mention this blog! (never underestimate the power of the blog!)
So when I checked www.delightmenow.com and it finally had a PR I was happy. When I checked www.bouncingtatas.com and it had a PR I was happy. When I checked www.freemulah.com I was happy. When I checked www.bodyarttatoo.info and it had moved up I was thrilled. But then came my real surprise. www.bouncintatas.com (the one I JUST put online this weekend) already was ranked! www.tyneinc.com was already ranked! In less than a weeks time the 2 that I truly used SEO techniques for got ranked, where as it's taken 45 days for the others to get ranked. See the differnce between doing what is right and winging it?
Now what does that mean to me? It means that my websites at least look legitmate to those wanting to link to me. It also means on the one that hass moved up in ranking that I even have a little bit of clout. Not much yet, but give me time!
Now one of the things I have done is I've linke all the sites to each other. I know they are not related industries, but they are realated by ME! And apparently either Google sees that and says it is ok, or it does not matter as much as some taut it to be. I'll let you know as I can play with it more.
All for now, but I want to remind you it is important to START with where you want to end up, and then work your way backwards when it comes to programming a website!
Happy Surfing

All about the links
So this weekend I got down to putting some of my favorite links together, very legitimately on a single website. Tyneinc has been my uncles and I name for about 15 years now, and we just have piddled around with this or that. But we have not gotten a pretty decent listing of websites and website services, so I finally decided to put a website for us together.
So this weekend http://www.tyneinc.com/ was born. Each page there has at least one link to my other websites that I have been writing about here. I have an Adult Websites page, a Website Design page, etc, all with links to my websites.
Now again, I built this from scratch, so in doing so I was able to use some great SEO techniques. You will notice my pages, other than my home page, are all named accordingly. search_engine_optimization.htm, web_management.htm, etc. These will help me score higher with Google and the likes as they find my webpage.
I have also used proper Titles, and in this case was able to use the H1, H2, and H3 tags, all scoring points with the search engines. See how it works when you plan ahead and know where you are going before you ever get there? All of these little things will make my site rank higher when it hits Google.
So then what did I do? I went to my http://www.bodyarttatoo.info/ and put a link to my site from there. Remember I already am getting scanned regularly on that site, so Google should pick it up within the week. If I had a higher rated page it could be in as little as 24-48 hours, but that will come in time. A week will work for now, and by Google 'finding' me, I'll again rank higher than if I submitted it.
So check out the new website, give me feedback if you would, and I will be writing you soon.

Starting from scratch
You know sometimes when you are going to do something it's easier if you go to the end and work your way back. Try that with a maze and see if it's easier going forwards or backwards. I believe that website SEO can be the same thing. It's easier if you go to where you want to be and work backwards into your design.
I've recently done that with a website I did for a client. Mark from ADS asked me to design a website for him for his home theater, audio/video stuff. So I did. First I asked him "what words do you want to be found at, and then worked my way back from there.
So I went and registered his website as www.adsavd.com. 6 letters, nice and short. Honestly if I could do it again I might of choosen adsaudio.com or something like that so that it had the name in the link.
But then when I wrote the pages I would write the text to match the metatags that I had already written. I knew I wanted audio, video, custom installations, etc on every page. So I wrote the text to match that. Because this is a San Antonio Texas company, I made sure that it was put on every page.
Now when I'm done he might not get the #1 slot for audio video in general, but if they put San Antonio on the link, I expect it to be definitely first page. And what does first page bring you? It brings you traffic!! And what does traffic bring you? It brings you business!!
So if you're wanting to build a site, make sure that you start at the end, where you want to be listed, and then build the site from there.

SEO Services
Ok, I'm just letting you know that I've taken the website that I've done the least with and resubmitted it to a SEO optimizer. I know I know I should be shot for going right back to where I tried before, but I'm hopeful that this time www.servicewrap.net will take care of my website. I submitted www.delightmenow.com for services.
Now the fact that I've already gotten my website submitted to the search engines, and they are up and running, then I could either get a $20 refund, or have them give me a 'bolt on'. I chose to have them do all the programming for me instead of taking the $20 back. We'll see if it works. Supposedly I'll be top 10 in over 3000 catagories, and top 3 in most.
Now I have to say if I get that kind of results, an the traffic that naturally comes with it then I should start seeing some money coming in. I'll keep you posted. In the mean times I'll let you know what kind of changes they make to the website when I get the changes back on delightmenow.com.
Until then, happy surfing

eBooks
Ok, I'm sure somewhere out there is an ebook that is really worth the money, but I've yet to find it!!! I have 2 of my websites that have ebooks attached, and honestly I wouldn't pay for either.
Both seemed ok at the time, and both are legitimate, but both are 'self-help' ebooks. I even considered opening up an ebook website, but haven't because of this problem.
Understand that you have certain levels copyrites to an eBook. On my www.bodyarttatoo.info I have full master level rights to the ebook. This means if I want to sell the rights to that book to another resaler I can do that.
The second, www.freemulah.com I have only resale rights. Means I can sell the ebook to an ebook to an end user, but I can transfer those rights to another resaler.
Generally you pay less for the resale rights than the master rights for a book.
Now my problem is that if you look up ebooks in your search engine, 99% of them are self-help books. How to is the topic of every ebook out there it seems. Heck it looks like many have taken blogs like this and turned them into an ebook for resale.
So if you are looking at an ebook website, I'd suggest you make sure it has a flow on it, or that you are really ready to work to make it happen, because you're going to be one of a million trying to sell that book.
Now on one of my sites I also put the Google AdSense, that has made me more money that the book. So if you are using your book to get attention, then I'd say that's ok, but don't count on millions by selling your book.
All for now, happy surfing

Working with Googles AdSense
So why would you put links on your page to another persons page, leading them away from your infomation? The answer lies in my website www.bodyarttatoo.info. It is definitely a way to make extra money is why.
Now would i put this on all my websites? Heck no! If I am truly selling products or services to those coming to my website, then I am probably not in the best position to put AdSense on my website.
But if I have an informational website, and that's all it is, then why not get the site to make a few extra dollars in spending cash?
While Google is good about putting related material on your page, you do get some options on setting up your account. What kind of ads are appropriate. After all you do not want adult websites listed on a childs website.
Now you still have to work on your rankings for AdSense. Part of your bonuses are that the higher your ranking, the more ads that are available, and the more they pay. So make sure you continue to follow everything else we've been talking about to get your sites ranked.
On the website www.bodyarttatoo.info, in the first weekend i had it I made $1.60. Ok, through laughing? :) I know it's not much, but consider this, there are 52 weekends a year. That's $83.20 a year if I never got more traffic than that to my site. Now if you'll remember, I paid $20 for my site, plus a hosting fee every year of about $50. So my site not only pays for itself, but puts another couple of bucks in my pocket, and that's if I stay status quo. If I start getting more traffic, more hits, more people looking at the sideline ads, that number can be hundreds if not thousands a year. Google pays out over a billion, yes that's right with a 'b' in revenues to webmasters. Now it looks a bit better doesn't it?
Ok, but the one word of warning I'm going to make to you is that you can not, do not, ever even consider, clicking on the ads yourself to up your revenue. Google does track these type of things and will bust you and permenantly ban you from there AdSense program, and who knows what they could do with your rankings and/or listings? So do not even consider going there.
One last thing is that you can have one account for all your websites so that the $$$'s add up faster. Google doesn't cut a check until you have reached the $50 thress hold, so if you have 3 or 4 or 10 websites pointing to the same place, it will get you there faster.
