Do follow blogs comments are the other ways of getting inbound one way links to your sites, but there are something that you should be aware of – blog comment spams.
click the photo to enlarge.
The stories began that I received a person named Julia from Fast Blog Finder. Last month, when I wrote about “5 creative ways of link building“ and posted on this blog, she already left me a comment which showed below and in the photo aside. This time, I found, that Ms. Julia was doing it again. That’s nothing wrong leaving me a comment but it was the same as last time she did it with the exact wording! I didn’t think twice to quickly mark her comment as spam. So what did she say? Here is the exact wording that she wrote.
Thank you for your great link building tips, I was aware traditional link building service such as directory submission, article submission, social bookmarking and I was using these methods very well. Now I’m thinking about some other ways to build links and I’m glad that I came across your articles.
At the first glance, it seemed to be a good comment, doesn’t it? However when our friendly Ms. Julia from Fast Blog Finder did it the second time with the same comment on my blog, it isn’t impressive at all. Basically they just want to promote their software and did not really thankful of my article post. In other words, they just copy and paste the same comment anywhere else that is talking about SEO link building!
I have no problem when people are trying to promote their business. That’s nothing wrong as I am doing it either but please do it wisely! When you leave a comment on someone’s blog, make sure you record their URLs in a spreadsheet file with date and the comment that you wrote about. So next time, when you stumble upon the same blog, you won’t repeat yourself! This mistake certainly costs them money as people find out their staffs are using questionable techniques to promote their business. That’s bad right?
So, when you want to leave a comment on your neighbor blogs the other time, please speak from your hearts about what you like, rather than just copy and paste some pre-made “canned” comments from your boss!
We will continue our link building tips on Friday, so stay tuned!
Chinese new year posting schedule. As Chinese new year is just around the corner, (Next Monday – Wednesday) I will try my best to post three articles per week as usual.

]]>Few days ago, I received a newsletter from a fellow Internet Marketer and inviting me to join a special JV giveaway event that targeting of building 50,000 buyers in 30 days!
Well is it just a hyped up event or a real possible case? In December 2007, Odinn Sorensen joined the 117christmas give away events and he successfully build *1251* new subscribers to his list in ONLY 3 weeks.
Dennis Levy – Downlineprospector.com another marketer who joined 117network and successfully made $500 with sales with Henry Gold 117 networks as well.
Heriyosaradi – built 30,000 in 30 days with 117 networks!
The event host of 117 networks is the same host with this special event – Henry Gold. I did not try joining any of his events before but I am sure one thing, money is in the list of buyers! If you’ve got a list of buyers then you can easily make more money by selling them more of your quality products.
So what are the benefits of joining this special event?
- Giving you hundreds (or even thousands) of subscribers in 30 days
- Building your reputation among 50,000+ members
- Earning you the most profits from your referrals
What’s more if you can get 500 subscribers in 30 days, Henry and his partner will promote all of your products in the future! Honestly I did not join any Henry events before and beside this event is free. You DON”T have to pay anything to lock into a advantageous position like other giveaway campaigns.
You just have to refer members to that site and that’s it! Is it that hard? Not really, Because Henry prepares a special report where we can promote. Yes instead we promote the gifts we promote the free report so the members will no way know it is a give away campaign!
So I recommend you to join this event right at the beginning to gain its full advantage!

]]>Let’s recap what we’ve walked through these few days with JV giveaway traffic secrets:
|
and today we are going to look at some secret weapons that I am using and give me giveaway sign up conversions and high click through rate: ViralURL Gold Membership . ViralURL is developed by 2 marketers Frank Bauer and Colin Klinkert. It is a mixed system that combines affiliate link cloaker, email list builder and free credit based ads system. As a gold member, you can email your ads to 3000 random members in 3 days. The best part that I like about this system is it coverts about 5% of my gold mailing to many giveaway sites. The system is best used for giveaway, free stuffs and so on. It is one of my secret weapons.
Another secret weapons that I am using is by submitting this blog to blogcatalog.com (a social networking sites specially for bloggers ), join their groups and also discussing various issues on their related forums. At the end of the post, I would left a referral link to a giveaway site that I was promoting and said on the text that it was “the last days that they could get x+ (where x is some numbers) free gifts. so sign up now!” something like that. The idea is to get the members of the group feel it is an urgent matter. If they don’t it now, they might miss a chance of getting free products. It’s better for you NOT to copy to my text but think of something that brings “sense of urgency“. You can use it with forums that we discussed earlier or other social networking sites.
The last secret weapons that you should consider using is using a method called “cross promotion” That is you signed up as contributors on various giveaway events. For each giveaway event, you set up a different autoresponder so you know where are your subscribers coming from. As an example, you signed up 3 give away events as contributors named event 1, 2 and 3. Then you go and set up 3 different autoresponders accounts say A, B and C being autoresponder A for event 1, B for 2 and C for 3 respectively. Now let’s say event 1, 2 and 3 starts accepting members about the same time and you’ve got some subscribers from event 1 already. Then you cam go and send a message in autoresponder account A and tells them they can get more unique free gifts at event 2. After that, when you’ve got subscribers in autoresponder B, you can also email them they can have more valuable freebies at event 2 or 3 or both. That is what I mean by “cross promoting”
The same idea can be applied to safe list referrals, list builders such ViralURLs that we discussed early on. That’s about it for this series of how to succeed in any JV giveaway events. Of course these strategies can be used with other sites that you have. I strongly hope you can be benefited from these strategies that we discussed and certain please leave us a comment so that we can improve our site content.
Thanks very much.
]]>Yesterday we talked about how do we use forums to drive JV giveaway sites traffic and thus get some sign ups. Today we will focus on how social bookmarking sites can also earn you site referrals.
Write A Good Blog ArticleBefore you can bookmark, you need to write up an article that is |
related to the JV giveaway site that you want people to sign up. For instance, I will write some posts that tells people “how to make money online with no money at all” this type of article and post it to my blog. Another idea you may try is Google the related topics and see what good articles you can come up with. The idea is to write something that interests people. After you’ve got your article ready, now you can start bookmarking.
If you have some experience on social bookmarking, you will know there are high traffic, medium traffic and low traffic sites. Not every sites are created to have the same users and also some are created to target specific niches outside of “Internet marketing” or “make money online“. Therefore, when you go and sign up, it’s better to spend a minute or 2 to determine if it the sites allow your target niche to be on their bookmarks.
Finding high traffic bookmarking sites
You can find the high traffic sties by a hard way and by an easy way. The hard way, you log on to traffic statistic sites such as Alexa.com and search for the bookmark sites ranking (note: Alexa displays sites that they believes to have highest numbers of visitors as rank 1, the second most visit web sites as rank 2 and so on. In other words the higher the number, the site is believed to have more numbers of visitors but it is not accurate and should act it as a reference.)
The easy way is use a social bookmark tools like Social Poster or Social Marker which contains the site information such as Google Page Rank and Alexa ranking. Also you can “preset” your blog post title, description, and URLs to the Social Marker or Social Poster then you can post your blog posts to various sites. The benefits for that is your blog post will gain publicity and therefore increase your chance of getting referrals.
The most effective bookmark sites that get traffic so far by experience from “make money online” niche are Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Technorati, and Propeller. They seems are the most popular bookmark sites and can drive most traffic to your sites. So be sure you signed up those sites and book mark your post using either Social Poster or Social Marker today.
Tomorrow, I will you a secret weapon that I used, it works for me, may it works for you, I don’t know but I will show you anyway. Thus stay tune!
]]>Yesterday, we walked through some ideas of using safe lists, social networking sites to drive you traffic to JV giveaway sites. Today I want to spend some time on talking how to use forums and articles submission sites to generate site visitors.
Forum MarketingWhen talking forums, some let you advertise in a special area, |
some don’t let you advertise at all. So it is advised that you don’t register on forums and posting your referral links immediately. (and in fact most forums do not allow affiliate or referral links at all!). So how do you drive traffic? Some forums let you put a link to the signature file. As I said most online forums do not allow affiliate links, the way to work around is to use an immediate site. The immediate sites can be your blog, a squidoo lens, a hubpage, any post on blogger, wordpress.com etc. Then you embedded your affiliate link on your blog post, so that if whoever read your article and click your link, you’ve a referral.
But before you do that, you need to make as many posts as possible on those “make money online” forums. Most people advise you go and answer other peoples questions as it will label you as a “guru”.
Also you can make posts that ask controversial questions such as which is better format when you email to your subscribers “HTML or plain text?”. This way your signature will be publicized and increase the chance of being clicked ! 
However you need to aware, forums are sensitive in spamming and advertising, so if the moderators found you advertise in the area that you don’t suppose to advertise, or you just repeat your post in various thread, most likely they will first warn you and/or ban you(depends on the forums rules). So be warned!
To wrap up, I have prepared a list of forums that you can use for your giveaway events or normal sites sign ups:
Tomorrow, we will look at how blogs and social bookmarks get you sign ups or traffic. So stay tune!

]]>| Social Networking sites, many people thought it was created as a connection. Find your school mates, class mates, friends in the past that perhaps you lost contact with or something for fun. But until recently, the whole thing has changed. People still look for other people to express same kind of interest such as believes, hobbies , |
political views and business partners or customers! The reasons for such a shift, are social networking sites can let the company focused on specific demographic groups such as finding people whose age are between 18-25 that loves playing video games, or computer games, giving advices to people who are seeking employment advice, and so on. Before the age of Facebook, Myspace were born, people are pretty much rely on search engines to find those targeted people around. Those traffic, if you don’t know what you are doing, can be expensive. Especially search engine optimization, you can spend thousand of dollars of “so called professional” which brings no or little results! So how do social networking sites bring your website traffic (or in this case convert your friends to giveaway sign ups?)
Convert Your social networking friends to give away events sign up
There are couple of social networking sites that may bring traffic or signs to your giveaway event sites:
What you have to do:
Steps you need to do to get sign ups
- First login to one of your favorite social site such as Myspace.com and creates a profile with your pictures and your personal information such as hobbies, your current profession, people you would like to meet and etc. As an example: you can view my profile at MySpace. Note that I deliberately added Easter JV 2008 banner and the referral link in the profile image so that people will know this person is somewhat related to the site or the event.
- Once you created your profile, go and join some related groups for example, our discussions, join groups that are related to “internet marketing”,”make money online”, “email marketing”, “affiliate marketing”, “seo”, “social marketing”, “blog traffic” and so forth. The idea is get to know each other, by participating their forums and add some friends for personal “one on one “activities.
- Your daily routine should add 10 new friends on all the networks described above, join a new group and also communicate with your friends!
That’s about it for social networking. I recommend you first make sure your friend is interested in “internet marketing or make money online”, talk to them and see what level of “make money online experience do they have. If your give away event is a big one, such as special occasion one, (Easter, Christmas, New Year) , then you may try to persuade them to join as contributors. To other friends, may be you can leave them a referral link and see if they reply.
That’s it for today, tomorrow, I will show you how to use forums, and articles to get you sign ups.

]]>| Remember yesterday I showed you about the secret weapons of succeeding in any JV giveaway events, by looking how you can increase your gift ranking right? Today I will show the first method that you can boost your gift ranking. This method is proven working and also taught by many marketers around the net. It is called “safe list advertising”. |
Safe lists, some said they are useless, some said they use them to generate lots of sign ups. So who is right, who’s wrong? Well no one! Safe lists were created at the time (during 90s) because email were relative new and free email systems like hotmail was just born. Every one was excited at that time that they could send email to thousands for free. They reasons why it is “safe” is because everyone was willing to receive emails from others and involve no law breaking! : ). Enough of the history. Now what credit based safe list is all about? The concept behind it is easy. You open up a member’s email, read it and at the end of the mail, there always is a credit earning link. So you click on it then you earn credits. Next you can send mailing to others members. Depends on your members level (free, paid), sometimes you can send your mail ads once a day, twice a day or once in 2 days etc.
During my last 2 months of experience of credit based safe list, I found they are good for free membership sites, leads generation, and giveaway events. I myself used some of the safe lists and found they bring quite amount of click through rate.
A list of credit based safe lists that I am using are listed below for your reference:
And the secrets of success is to go and read the “solo ads” from Got Safe list, The Traffic Secrets, & The Traffic Secrets. They are the best for credits and you can send email more easily.
That is it for today. Next week I will show you another strategies that bring traffic to give away sites or gifts sites so stay tuned!

]]>| Want to build a huge list this May? Join me as my partners to IM giveaway with others 1000 JV contributors Now. More information: |
Yesterday, we talked about how gift’s quality helps you to increase your chance of building a huge list on JV giveaway. Today I want to show you the other important concept that boosts your subscribers rate during the event: Gift Rankings |
What is gift ranking?
when you contribute to any giveaway events,
there is always a single condition that you always have
to obey in order to gain the maximum amount of
subscribers. That is promotion of the event.
It is an essential concept to guarantee of success
of the event. Since it’s the heart of JV’ing.
Everyone does their own bits and finally it adds up.
Now let’s look at an analogy. Assuming you want to build a
a house. A 2 stories 1600 square feet house. If you
are going to do it all by yourself, how long is it going to take?
That is you have to design your house, finish all the state required paper
works, set up the foundation, prepare all the word work
for flooring, walls and celling. Purchase all the necessary materials
for renovation, cables wiring, gas and water pipe installation, hot water
tanks, telephone wiring, plumbing blah blah blah. How long it is going to
take? All by yourself? 1 – 2 years ? or may be 3? I don’t know.
But who’s going to do it like that? No one! Therefore you are going to
hire/partner with some professionals or workers and let
them doing their own jobs this time, right?
So this time you will not take 1,2 or 3 years.
May be 2 months or at most 6 months you can finish all the work.
Therefore by co-operating, things will be done quicker and better.
Now in case of JV’ing. Everyone is doing their own part by
inviting members or others contributors to join. The more contributors
or members that have joined, more subscribers that every one will get
at the end of the day. The numbers of subscribers that you can get depends
on your “gift ranking”. Therotically, the more members or contributors
that you referred to the site, the higher your gift ranking will be so you
will get more subscribers. But in reality, the actual numbers of subscribers
that you will have depends on
(1) quality of your gift(s) that we have
discussed in the last post, (2) your autoresponder email
deliverably rate and (3) the conversion rate of your opt-in pages.
Those factors, today we are not going to discuss.
But in general, the higher your gift ranks, the better. Therefore your gift
ranking is an important factor to success in any JV giveaway
events.
But how do you get members/contributors to the giveaway site so you can
increase my gift rank?
This question is essentially the same as asking, “how do you
get traffic to your websites, blogs, forums etc.”
Tomorrow, we will start looking on various of traffic strategies
that get an experienced marketer to have 100 subscribers per day
every day during Easter JV giveaway 2008 last April. So stay tunned!
]]>Yesterday, I talked about “How do you make money with JV giveaway”. Today I would like to show you how to build a huge list when contributing the giveaway events.
| When contributing such an event, the first thing you have to do is by looking for a quality of product. Remember the primary aim of Joint Venture giveaway is building a huge list. You have to know there are plenty giveaway events happening every year at every moment. Moments like Easter, Christmas, New year but sometimes out of nothing, there are still give away events. Therefore once you are decided to join one, the quality of gift offered becomes very important. |
Quality of gifts
There are 2 important aspects when speaking of quality of gifts.
- Freshness and
- Uniqueness
We can illustrate the above points by looking at an example below:
Imagine a moment you are the member. Every time you signed up for a giveaway event, you saw the same things. At the end of the date, would you bother to sign up for another one? “No, definitely not!
They are just the old stuffs that keep repeating!” This most likely what other people think as well. Therefore the freshness of your gift(s) is(are) important!
Also, when you signed up to a giveaway site, you saw at least 5 people are giving away exactly the same gift, you also you don’t bother sign up all, you probably just sign up one. The event host most likely will not let this happens: since what’s the point signing up to the site if most gifts are the same?
Therefore the best gift I think is to make your own product. It does not necessary to be a Private Label rights (PLR) , Master Resale rights (MRR) product but it is made by your own especially if you have special skills that are hot but little people know how to do it. For example, last Easter giveaway , I saw a fellow marketer, made his own gift by giving up video tutorials on “how to install WordPress on Cpanel hosting account”, “how to make the wordpress blog more search engine friendly” and how to make it more professional look. When I looked at their gifts stats, I found his gifts were quite hot. Probably 1 to 20 people will download his video and see how to do that. This is quite a good example on what you can do for giveaway gift. Also the gift was not a PLR nor MRR product but it was unique and not many people did the same thing as him. Therefore he did earned some amount of subscribers from that site.
Of course the “quality of gifts” will give you some subscribers but it will not give you the maximum numbers of what the site can give you. Tomorrow, I will continue to show you how can you get the max. out of a “good” JV giveaway event. From the time being, check out this: Reed Floren the infamous JV broker now
| is seeking partners to his JV giveaway this May. On May 16th more than 1000 partners will start inviting members and download their gifts. This is going to be huge! From past experience, I almost triple my email lists from such a big giveaway I strongly encourage you to join the party and build a huge list during this May. |
The event will not last long, it only for a week. So you better hurry start inviting partners while there are still time. To sign up simply go to Reed Floren JV GiveAway . Once you log in, don’t forget to take up “winning” offer so that you can get most out of the event if you have little or no list like me.
Till next time,
To your list building success,
Proson Cheng
