Places to put your link – links are the foundation of almost all internet marketing.  Without links, you can’t be found.  A link in an e-mail, a link on a web page, etc.  Links on web pages are the foundation of SEO.  If you want to get ranked, you simply MUST get places to put your link – the more the better.  Now, that being said, where exactly do you find places to put your link?  Well, forums, social media sites, and forums are often the best places to get links and places to put your link.  You can also get .gov and .edu links this way, which are very valuable links. 

I LOVE blog comment spammers, when I view the comments for this blog, I find awesome place to put your link.  I look for footprints, and then find even more.  For example, if you search for smflogo.gif which is the logo for simple machines forums, which are a popular forum software, you can literally find thousands and thousands of places to put you link.  You can also find by searching for “powered by kick apps,”  another popular forum software.  I just came across the smflogo.gif by observing and looking at the places that other people are putting their links, and one in my blog comments.  Places to put your link are invaluable, and something not to be overlooked or taken lightly.   Link often, link smart, link fast.   Find the best places to put your link, and watch you site sail up the SERP’s (search engine results pages).

My Pay Pal account locked – my pay pal account was locked about 5 days ago, and is still locked.  I’ve not had a complaint, I’ve not done anything wrong, in fact, quite the contrary.  I’ve grown my business like most people in business try to do…  In fact, I did double the business this month that I did last month.  In pay pal’s eyes, I guess this is a crime.  My pay pal account was frozen about a week ago, just under.  pay pal account locked – AGAIN…  and on top of that, I”m being blackmailed for my money.  They are demanding that I upload my social security card, my drivers license, and quite a few things, or I’m out of luck and I’ve lost my money.  I believe this to be blackmail and theft, and believe they should be prosecuted.  STAY AWAY FROM PAY PAL.  DO NOT USE PAY PAL.  They seem to not be subject to the same rules and regulations as other financial institutions.  FIrst they had problems claiming to be FDIC insured, and in fact, it’s “pass through” which means it doesn’t exist like they’ve claimed all along.  I know MANY people who’ve had their money illegally stolen by pay pal, and I know many people who’ve been blackmailed or extorted, in my opinion, by them.   As pay pal account locked, if I do nothing further, my account is gone, as is my hard earned money.  If I don’t submit to their demands, I loose all of my money.  Pay pal account locked is NOT a pleasant experience, and they do nothing to make it better, and in fact aggrivate the situation.  STAY clear of Pay Pal as a payment processor.  There are PLENTLY of alternatives.  2Checkout, Merit Card in Dallas, and I’ll post more as I open a few new accounts due to my pay pal account locked.  Pay Pal account locked or frozen – do you have any experience with being extorted by Paypal or blackmailed by them to get your money?  Let us know below about pay pal account locked.

Local Search Blast – How would you like to show up in all of the online yellow page sites, 411 sites, GPS database sites, telemanics sites, OnStar, and dominate local search?

Now many of you I suppose… why on earth would you want to dominate the “New” yellow pages, online, with exponentially more visitors than the original could hope to scrape together? 

Well, I’m in the process of setting something up JUST for you, if you might be interested.  In a week or so, I’m going to publish a page where you can share this information with a few people, and for doing so, the first few folks will win a completely complimentary “Local Search Blast” from me.  A $697 value.  Keep your eyes peeled and, better yet, sign up for the e-mail list to be one of the first to find out about my latest freebie.  This will be delivered immediately.  If you are one of the fortunate winners, you will be sent a spreadsheet to fill out and return to me.  Upon it’s return, you’ll be entered into and appear on dozens and dozens of local search sites – Yelp, City Search, Online Yellow Pages, InfoUSA, etc. 

If you are the winner of my “Local Search Blast,”  make sure to have your phone staffed and answered.  The process of it going out to all of the sites can take from 4 to 8 weeks, but typically, close to immediate results are more apparant.

If you are involved in affiliate programs and generate marketing and/or advertising revenue online from your blog, or other type of website, you may soon be in for a very rude, unpleasant surprize.  Especially with the current economic situation, state governments could be looking to increase revenue any way possible, and I”m sure that there will be increased instances of state legislatures trying to pry more and more of your hard earned money from your wallet and from your families.

What exactly is the Advertising Tax?  Well, a very short, basic explanation of it is that some people, governments, state legislatures, etc are trying to use the existance of an affiliate program as basis for the establishment of “Nexus” of a company in that state.  Once Nexus is established and has been determined, states can then use that to force those companies to collect sales tax for that state, at a minimum.  It opens up quite a can of worms, and sales tax could just be the beginning, as they could impose other legislation and control on those companies, and make business prohibitively expensive and an accounting nightmare at minimum.   Instead of dealing with this, retailers will just drop affiliates who reside in the offending states, further eliminating jobs and income when it’s difficult enough as it is.

One thing you can do is to visit this page at the Performance Marketing Alliance and let them know about yourself and how it would affect you.  They can then pass this information on to legislators in your state, and let them know that you don’t approve of it,  and the harm it would cause your business and your families.   http://performancemarketingassociation.com/advocateform.html

Better to take a proactive stance to this instead of just waiting for that e-mail that lets you know you’ve been dropped from the affiliate programs that are putting food on your table.  I’ve been through this once before, in 2006 with the online casino industry, with all of my eggs in one basket with that, and within a months time being dropped from every revenue source I had.  Not a fun spot to be in… 

Contact your legislators, representatives, congressmen, whoever, and let them know your stance on this…
