Submissions to Web Directories

What is your views when it comes to get links from directories? Do you think it is worth? Yes, absolutely it has got great worth. The links you submit is at the most relevant category. What is seen when it comes to link building is how many links point to the website you are getting link from, the title of the page that links to you. You will not get links from homepage but inner categories, so it will be treated as links coming to the main site from where the category page you are linked from is linked. So, it is not that helpful but you cannot deny that it is extremely cheap or many times free which is worth. There are lots of new directories build and offered free submissions for a time being which must be utilized and then once the directories gets bigger and better, you will benefit a lot from it. I have benefitted a lot and so would you!



I Prefer VBulletin Forum Software

Which forum software do you prefer to use? I'd choose SMF if I am not serious with the forum and it accounts to just a time pass because it is a free software and good looking with lots of features when it comes to free. However there is a lot to improve for them. Even IPB is good but it is equally costly to VB. So why not VB?
I would trust VBulletin when it comes to seriousness. In IPB, there are a lot of exploits and my forum got hacked tons of times when I had not updated to latest version. I could not because it was my friend's license and he was away at that time. I had to convert to SMF to become safe. And soon after I added VBulletin, I was pretty happy with the software. My rankings got a boost in search engines. My websites got indexed pretty faster  and adding codes and modifications are 100 times easier. I am always being with Vbulletin whenever I make any other forum.

Blogs Have A Lot Of Potential

Blogs have a lot of potential when it comes to snatching traffic from searches. It is because you can put articles with lots of keywords on your pages and they tend to provide a lot of content in your website easily. They have a feeding structure which helps getting you indexed pretty fast. Then there are a lot of websites that allows you to add your feed and it gets published in their websites. Popular websites will definitely help you rank well as they have great potential. You can even have content relevant urls which is meant to be a major factor to boost your rank in search engines, ofcource if you get correct blog post title. I'd prefer a blog over anything when it comes to content website. What about you?

Internal Linking Is Important

Have you ever wondered how important is internal linking within your websites for ranking good in search engines? Mostly when you have a lot of pages in your website like a blog or a forum. More Important than this is to link to your homepage with best suitable keyword from every page within your website. It will definitely help boost your rank in search engines. It is not the only factor which helps but it quite boosts up the rank. I can figure this out because that link is 200% relevant and so it helps.
You should also somewhere place random linking to your inner pages on your homepage. It is because mostly you build links and promote your homepage only and if you have no linking to internal pages correctly, your internal pages will not rank properly and you will not get as much traffic as you expect. So snatch the potential of homepage into innter aswell and see the results. You will definitely love it :)

Marketing Your Forums

Marketing a community forum is one of the most difficult thing in today's world. Morever when you are trying out for something that already have tons of established ones like when it comes to Webmasters Area. There are already tons of webmaster forums that are running pretty good and are active. So, at that point you need to think that why will visitors not goto those forums and come and instead join yours? You must have something unique and different that is not offered there but you do.
Another thing which is most important is to rank high for your main keywords in search engines. That is one most important thing that you must keep in mind because that is only going to get you visitors. And when you rank good and start getting visitors, you need to attract them to become members. For that you must have little bit active forum with some posts and ofcource to show some stats at the bottom. Either hire paid posting or make few accounts and post yourself to show off activity or get some automated postings. Slowly you will find your forum getting members and ofcource you will love it.
