One way linking is probably the dream of every Web master who is striving for better page rank. While we usually hate to have links on our websites that point to pages where there’s no reciprocal link, we’d love seeing our one way links on other people’s pages.

The problem is that everyone else thinks just the same way. To successfully build a collection of one links takes special planning. Yes, it is possible to build incoming links if you will only spend some time devising a strategy.

Spend a few hours each month working on each of the following ideas:

One Way Linking Versus Reciprocal Linking

First, take a look at your own attitude towards other’s one way linking requests. Why do you usually refuse to give them a one way link? If you know that, you will gain some insight on why others won’t agree to one way linking to your website.

There are two most probable answers: 1) the website trying to convince you to link to it is of very low quality or, 2) there is a certain limit to the number of links you can put on your page, so you have to choose links carefully. Whichever is true in your case, the solution is are still the same. Follow it and start your own one way linking campaign.

1. Contact good writers/journalists

Start with finding good writers that write on the subjects of potential interest to your customers. Hire some of them to write some content for you and inform every visitor that your website has quality articles inside. If you have a good set of resource articles many other sites in your niche may begin placing one way links to your site as a service to their readers. You should also submit articles to other, well-known sites that are complimentary to your niche. When they place the articles on their pages you will be getting a one way links.

2. Create a Freeware Download Section

A sure fire way to get one way incoming links is to offer a free piece of software. It costs very little to pay a programmer to create a small, unique program that would be of value to people interested in your nice. Then let all other web masters know that their readers can get the free software if they will just place a link to your download page on their web site.

Submit Your URL to Web Directories

Last, but not least… you can get plenty of one way links by submitting your URL to web directories. Do a Google search for “web directories”. You will find that there are hundreds. Some will accept any URL that is submitted. You will get links with more value if you only submit to those that will review you site before accepting it for listing. Most of these charge a fee, but a few are reasonably priced. While it is very hard to get high quality links, some feel that it is possible to improve your page rank a little with several lower-ranked directories.

Nothing comes easy with business on the Internet, but you can improve you Web site’s search engine ranking if you will spend some time each month building one way (backlinks) links.

If you are looking for an immediate increase in your website traffic, and you don’t want to shell out a lot of money for pay-per-click search engines, I’ll let you in on a secret that has helped me make many sales and build large lists very quickly with zero cash up-front: it’s called “OPT” (Other People’s Traffic).

Other website operators have the targeted website visitors you need right now - you just have to convince them to funnel some of it your way. Your mission is to find people who can refer you their traffic either for a percentage of the sale, a flat fee, a trade for services, or on a per-click basis.

NOTE: I prefer to pay people a big percentage of the sale - as much as 50% - because it has the lowest risk for me as the merchant. I only pay when a sale is made and, therefore, I make it well worth someone’s while to work with me. That’s the whole idea behind a successful affiliate program.

The quickest way to find people who can refer you traffic is to take inventory of whom you know. Who operates a site drawing the type of visitors you need?

For example, if you have a website that sells fishing lures, then you want to find ezines, websites, and discussion groups dealing with fishing rods, tackle boxes, fish hooks, fishing trips, fishing supplies, etc.

Get the picture?

Once you have exhausted the list of people you know, go to the search engines and do a search for the keywords that would bring targeted traffic to your site. Make a list of the websites that rank well in those searches and approach those individuals with related, but non-competing sites about a traffic deal.

To continue the above example, that means go to the search engines and do searches for “fishing rods”, “fishing trips” and related keywords to your site to find others who already have the traffic you need, but who don’t directly compete with you.

Try to work all your agreements on a traffic trade or per-sale basis first so you won’t have to pay any cash out of pocket until after a sale is made.

If you don’t have any traffic to trade, or they don’t want to get paid by the sale only, then you should negotiate a per-click or per-signup deal.

Paying by the click or by the signup means you only pay when a visitor comes to your site or signs up to receive your newsletter or other information. With this structure you only pay for performance and don’t waste any money on advertising that doesn’t directly result in bringing visitors to your site.

You have 3 main choices for funneling another site’s traffic to yours: endorsed mailings, pop-up windows, and link trades.

1. Endorsed Mailings

Endorsed mailings are by far the best way to funnel traffic from another site. A well-written endorsement letter by a website operator who already has a relationship with people who can buy from you is often worth its weight in gold. An effective endorsed mailing can result in traffic, sales, and money in your pocket within just a few hours of sending it.

2. Pop-Up Windows

Focused “pop-up” windows represent the next fastest way to funnel traffic to your site. When used incorrectly, pop-up windows create an annoying distraction for web surfers. Make sure your pop-up windows are relevant to exactly what visitors came to your site for in the first place!

My experiments have shown that a “pop-under” works best. This is where your website pops behind the other person’s page. Go to http://www.7dayebook.com for an example. You’ll see my other ebook, “eBook Secrets Exposed,” pop *under* the 7 Day eBook site.

When the visitor is finished viewing the main page and closes it… your page is right there!

TIP: For maximum sales, make sure that your page is closely related to the page that is referring traffic to you.

3. Link Trades

The next way to funnel traffic from other sites is using “Reciprocal Links” - which is a fancy way of saying trading links with someone. Make sure you negotiate a high profile spot for your link on the other person’s site.

Creativity is key when negotiating with other websites to steer some or all of their traffic your way. Show them how sending you traffic will make them money through affiliate commissions, how their readers will appreciate being introduced to new and valuable products (yours), or how you can open a new stream of income for them by paying them a few cents for every unique visitor they refer to you.

They win by making extra money and making their customers happy. You win by attracting traffic to your site that is focused and highly targeted to your offers.

Creating win-win scenarios like these will cause people to jump at the chance to work with you and send you all the “OPT” you can handle.

You’ve spent many years in college and worked hard all along the way. With graduation nearing, this is a perfect time to treat yourself and get your own college class ring. Class rings normally have your college and your degree. Even if you attend school through online means or you are home schooled, a jeweler has made a ring for you (or they can make one special just for you).

Along with specifying the metal and the stone and year, now you can also select a special effect for your stone. Stone options add a little more to the cost of the ring. Depending on the jeweler, here’s some of the stone effects you can pick from:

– Astralight stone effect

Astralight is a special option underneath the stone and it gives the stone the illusion of a rainbow beneath it. Astralight can be done on either smooth or faceted stones. It looks really good.

– Sundance stone effect

The Sundance effect also can be done on either smooth or faceted stones. It is a special effect under the stone that gives the illusion of rays beneath the stone.

– Encrusting effect

This is where an embedded yellow gold symbol or yellow gold letter is placed into the top of your stone. Encrustings look better on darker stones and are available on the smooth stones. With this effect, you would not want to combine this with either the Sundance or Astralight stone options.

– Protected emblem effect

This is a symbol or letter design located underneath the stone. This effect works better with the lighter colored stones and is available on smooth stones. You wouldn’t want to combine this with Sundance or Astralight either.

I wish you an awesome graduation. It’s a wonderful time in your life and your class ring is that something extra you can always carry with you. It serves as a reminder that you “made it.”

Should we be concerned about buying conflict or blood diamonds? What are the moral and financial implications of buying blood diamonds?

Buying diamonds for most people comes at a time when they are buying an item of jewellery such as diamond earrings, an engagement ring etc. This not only involves a major financial investment but an emotional one as well. The jewellery is likely to be kept in the family for years to come and so being confident about what you are buying is paramount.

In a way you need to feel that you are not only buying your diamonds from a reputable source but also that your supplier, whether it be an online retailer or traditional high street shop, obtains it’s goods from sources that also meet certain social, political and environmental responsibilities.

Most people have heard the term Blood Diamond or Conflict diamond but do you know what they are? In essence there are diamonds that have been purchased from rebel movements, terrorists or thieves. In the majority of cases the money made from theses diamonds ends up funding terrorist movements and civil wars.

With this in mind it is important that you buy your diamonds from a retailer who is able to confirm that your jewellery has passed the “Kimberley Process”.

The Kimberley Process is an International Certification Scheme that regulates the trade of rough (unpolished) diamonds.
Given the current political climate and the events of the last few years the last thing that anyone wants is be to be inadvertently funding these shocking activities throughout the world. That is the reason why they are called “blood diamonds” as literally people (in some cases many people) have been murdered as a result of the theft of these diamonds from their original source.

The Blood Diamonds are normally smuggled out as rough diamonds which have yet to resemble anything that we see in a shop window! The main countries where these diamonds originate are the Central and West African countries such as Sierra Leone. You will usually find that wherever there is conflict and diamonds are easy to mine there are blood diamonds.

In reality there is little that can be done to stop the smuggling of these diamonds from their original sources. However we can do what we can to stop the trade of these diamonds and therefore making smuggling them pointless. To do this we need to make sure that we are purchasing our jewellery from legitimate sources and that they can prove the origin of the diamonds they are supplying.

House Of Security14 Sep 2008 12:11 am

The sight of a uPVC door on your home immediately acts as a potent visual deterrent. Burglars know that not only are these doors more secure than their wooden counterparts, they are also fitted with multipoint locks: a locking mechanism that secures from several points (from a basic 3 point, to the ultimate 7 or 10 point).

An experienced burglar can force a wooden door open in a matter of seconds. They only have one security point (the mortice lock) situated in the centre of the door. The same potential burglar, faced with a multipoint locking mechanism, does not know where the door’s weak areas are - their job is 3 to 10 times more difficult. For this reason, homes fitted with multipoint lock security are unlikely to be targeted as they cannot be accessed by traditional methods.

The New Threat - Lock Cylinders

Due to increased car security, which makes modern cars virtually impossible to break into, homes have come under increased threat of burglary in order that keys for vehicles can be stolen. Because of the improvements in uPVC doors and multipoint locks, burglars have had to become increasingly more sophisticated in their approach - with the potential rewards of a vehicle to drive away in being a huge incentive.

The ‘weak spot’ in modern doors has been isolated as the lock cylinder. Once this weakness has been exploited, it doesn’t matter if the lock has 3, 5, 7 or 10 locking points - the burglar can open the door by simply pulling down the handle.

Mul-t-lock are one of the first companies to develop a cylinder that can withstand this new and devastating access method. By installing their locks, you keep your home and your family one step ahead of the criminals.

More information and advice on UPVC Door Locks and Multipoint Door Lock Cylinders can found at the MPL web site.

Graham Bitchenor is a UPVC multipoint door lock specialist who has written articles for a number of security publications. More information can be found at http://www.multipointlocks.co.uk

Has your house lost power? Did you notice if your refrigerator broke last night? Do you have concerns regarding the stuff you had in your freezer?

Not to worry - there are some simple guidelines to food safety in such a situation.

If the food has been completely thawed or even warmed to room temperature, throw it away. Discard it if it has been out of the refrigerator for over two hours.

Make sure to cook the food right away if it’s almost thawed and still a little cold. As long as you have cooked your meal it’s fine to eat and stick it in the fridge to eat later.

The food can be refrozen if there are still ice crystals visible on it. You can put it in a cooler with some dry ice if no freezer is available. The food will need to be cooked, because it won’t last as long as with a normal freezer.

If you notice any food with even a little freezer burn, you need to throw it away.

You can’t avoid sudden power outages caused by storms or accidents, but you can be prepared to deal with the results.
If your existing fridge or freezer has seen better days, the best advice that anyone can give you is you invest in a new one. If you have the space, you should certainly consider a large American Style fridge freezer. Any kitchen will be much better by having this. This site contains a wide range of American made fridges and freezers, aiming to serve you better.

VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and is the process of placing a voice call over the Internet using Internet Protocol (IP) Packets. Packets are bits of data that are passed, or routed, from node to node, until they are received by the final digital device (node). The final Node then turns the packet of information back into an analog voice stream that can be heard over a regular telephone.

While both types of phone service, VoIP and Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), rely on switching the telephone call through the quickest connection. The POTS telephone call creates a static, dedicated connection, traveling over the same exact route in both directions. This connection stays open until the callers break the connection. The packet switched phone call over the VoIP system actually contains the complete destination address of where it is going, and each packet can take different routes and different amounts of time to reach their destination.

To make a VoIP telephone call, the user has to have two things, a high-speed Internet connection (256kbs or higher) and a broadband telephone adapter. The telephone adapter plugs into the users existing system, either directly into the modem, or into a router. Many of the new broadband phone adapters have a router built into them, so that the user just plugs it directly into their high-speed modem and they can then plug their computer or router into the broadband phone adapter.

In most situations, it is best to have the router built into the broadband phone adaptor, so that if the user is making a telephone call and on the computer at the same time, the router knows to give most of the bandwidth to the phone call, thereby reduce lag time and the frequency of dropped calls. While the new VoIP phone systems are a hundred times better that the ones seen just two or three years ago, they can still drop calls when confronted with a slowdown in the network between the caller and the person receiving the call.

So, while the new VoIP can save the average user a lot of money, VoIP telephone service is still only practical for home and small business users, since the stability isn’t there that is required by large business ventures. Anyone who is thinking of switching to VoIP should remember that anytime their Internet service goes down, so does their phone service.

For more information on VoIP phone service is available at http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ip-telephony.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOIP_Phones.
