Update On How Things Are Going
I know I haven’t posted in some time, there has been so much going on and not always enough time to do all the things that need to or should be done.
Well last month I had my bankruptcy hearing, it was hard emotionally, I cried and then got drunk when I got home. Barry was not very good at filing his taxes so now I’ve had to do those so that the IRS and the State can’t get my bankruptcy case dismissed. One of the years I’m needing to file on, I couldn’t find the Profit/Loss statement so I’ve been having to do that year all over.
My lawyer and I have decided it would be best to convert my Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7, so he is in the process of doing that and that will give me more time and without the a time limit restriction that the Chap. 13 did with getting the taxes all filed.
My resolve that I had on Jan. 1st, is still there and I continue to learn and find ways to accomplish that goal. At times it has been slow going but as long as I continue to move forward, even if they are small steps that is what is important.
I can’t believe it is almost a year already since Barry’s passing and I want to again thank all of Barry’s friends for the support, knowledge, patience and understanding that have helped me and continue to help me through this new and trying phase in my life and in business.
Essential Link Building
It’s vitally important that you increase the number of websites that link to your website. Doing this helps you steadily increase traffic and generate more sales. However, if you are to be successful, you must be sure that your website is good enough for someone to link to you.
So, how do you do that?
There is an old cliche that always rings true in the Internet world – “Content is king”. And this is absolutely spot on.
You may be wondering how your content is related to our current topic of building link building, but there is a perfectly sound connection…
It is important that you have quality content on your website or other webmasters will most likely not want to trade links. Your website also needs to be informative and interesting, as this will increase the chance of getting a link from someone else.
Remember, links to your website are the building blocks to success, so it’s worth the effort to acquire them.
Now, let’s go over a small checklist of websites that would be good candidates for good link building:
* Websites with quality, related content.
* Websites that have higher PageRank than you currently have.
* Online directories like Yahoo and other business directories.
* Web 2.0 websites like Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com.
It’s no secret that Google (and other search engines) will list you higher in the search results for having a lot of quality inbound links. So, you should really concentrate on building quality links, which will do more for you than tinkering with Alt tags or any other onsite optimization.
The only downside is that building link popularity is not always easy to do. It tends to be a bit boring and tedious. Plus, it usually takes a big chunk of your time, which is probably why most people don’t like to do it.
Luckily for you, there is a solution!
