Link Idol http://linkidol.com Anthologies of a Self-Confessed Link Broker Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:23:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 Masturbation: Good for Your Health http://linkidol.com/2010/02/25/masturbation-good-for-your-health/ http://linkidol.com/2010/02/25/masturbation-good-for-your-health/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:23:42 +0000 admin http://linkidol.com/?p=52 Some consider it a taboo, while others are so ashamed to admit doing it. There are a lot of myths about masturbation. I remember my high school teacher told us that it may lead to sexual addiction. Contrastingly, another teacher told us that it’s good for one’s health and it is actually “exercising” the sexual organs.

Well, the experts have spoken, and according to the McKinley Health Center, it’s good for one’s health. What more can I say? They already enumerated the reasons…

  • alleviates premenstrual tension for many women
  • provides a healthy sexual outlet for people who choose to abstain from sex with partners or who do not currently have available sexual partners
  • can be a route to safer sex, to help prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV
  • allows for sexual pleasuring for those who are not ready to engage in vaginal, anal, or oral sex
  • increases blood flow to the genital region, which can help overall sexual functioning
  • helps women learn how to achieve orgasm
  • helps men to increase ejaculatory control and manage rapid or delayed ejaculation.

Are you ready now? :D

It seems that this release is a very urgent following a discovery of a bug that lets other logged in authors see the deleted entries of other authors in the blog. It may be a very critical bug, but if you are the only one authoring your blog, I think there’s nothing to worry about immediately upgrading to the newer version.

Anyway, to download the file, head on to their download page!

I’ve been very busy with personal matters and I haven’t even visited this blog for such a long time. As you can see, I still have to recover the old posts for this blog since the old server was terminated without me backing the old database. Well, just charge it to experience. For now, I will be discussing one of the most popular link building methods in the Web today…. LINKWHEEL. So what’s linkwheel by the way?

Linkwheel has been the talk of the town of link builders and SEO. For me, it is still the “old school” type of linking where you write contents on other websites then from those websites, you put links pointing to your site. It is only presented in a wheel-type structure where external websites are also linked to each other while each of those sites also link to a “main site”. To present this statement in a more visual form, then look at the image below.
LinkWheel
As you can see, the main site is located at the center of the wheel, and has links from external Web 2.0 websites, which are more known as “Web 2.0 properties” in the linkwheel nomenclature. These properties are said to be authority sites and have built their reputation to the mighty Google.

What are the types of LinkWheels? Linkwheels do not have a particular type, although there are some who classify them according to several factors. One of which is the interlinking structure. For this criterion, linkwheels can be classified as open or closed. The image above shows a closed linkwheel. If the last site (depending what you consider as last) does not link to the first site (e.g. Weebly not linking to Blogger) then it is an open linkwheel.

Linkwheels may also be simple and complicated. The image above is a simple linkwheel, why there those which are composed of two many web properties and can have “sub-wheels” like the image below.
Linkwheel and Sub-wheels
So what are the websites that can be used as wheels? There are many actually. Wordpress, Blogger, Blogsome, Vox, and Zimbio are just a few of them. But in my experience, I look for other sites with PR4 and above which I can create content and basically link my sites from them. The basic criteria for a Web 2.0 property is a site where you can: CREATE CONTENT + PUT LINKS ON THAT CONTENT.

Here are some notes on linkwheels before you start building one.

  • No reciprocal linking among wheels.
  • Use proxies, Web 2.0 sites may ban you if you repeatedly signs up for these websites using the same IP.
  • Use unique content as much as possible. If not, at least spun your content to avoid duplicate penalty.
  • Don’t just build up your main site, do the same for your wheels. You can do this by doing linkbuilding for your wheels. I will cover that in the future posts.

This post will be the first of a series of discussions on how to maximize your building up your site authority and how to achieve higher rankings using the link wheel method.

As you may noticed, it got a totally new look. I have switch servers from Dallas to Chicago and all the while I thought I have transferred all the sites. The old server had been terminated and now I only rely on Google Cache feature to recover my other posts. I hope you repost them one at a time.

Thank you for continuously reading this blog.

I am very busy configuring my link network which I also want to share with you once I am finished setting them up. For the mean time, let me share with you some Wordpress plugins which I think is a must-have. I do use plenty of plugins, but the list below is something I think each of my blog cannot live without.


Akismet - who wants spam? Well, this plugin doesn’t. It filters spam comments and you can have the option to delete them after a certain number of days. I am happy it’s bundled with the Wordpress pack.

Google Sitemaps - for easier crawling and indexing by Google, this should be top in the list.

All-in-One SEO - generates seo-friendly web pages by automatically creating seo-optimized page titles and descriptions.

Global Translator - generates translations of your blog posts using different translation engines in the Internet. Google translation engine can create more than 44 translations which means 44 more web pages with translated contents that can drive more traffic to your site as many foreign readers can read your posts in their mother toungues.

Wordpress SuperCache - this is based on the WP-Cache plugin which serves static files of your web pages to your visitors. The result… extremely fast loading pages which can withstand even the front page appearance of your on Digg! The drawback however, is that since it uses static files, it may not work on some occasions when your site needs to execute PHP codes (e.g. some advertising codes) during every page load. The get around is to use the original WP Cache engine which is also an option in the plugin interface. Another thing, you need to have plenty of space as it saves cached static files on your server.

DB Cache - this is probably one of best plugins I’ve seen. It caches database queries which WP SuperCache doesn’t do. The result is a more efficient disk space usage as it only saves important database information in your server. I once tested it on my site with 223 queries per page load. It reduced the queries to only 47 which was really a significant increase in performance and less strain on the server.

Yet Another Related Post Plugin - Not only it displays related posts at the end of your blog posts but also lets search engines crawl old pages and keep them indexed by search engines. Users can choose to automatically load the related posts at the end of each blog post without editing any template file which makes it usage a breeze.

I told her all what I know about SEO. We covered the topics from keyword analysis, competitor analysis, on-page and off-page optimization, link building, and eventually monetizing websites.

But in the end, I told her that SEO is not always about making money, it’s about achieving your objectives why in the first place you do SEO.

There are a lot of ways why people do SEO. It’s not just about getting traffic for websites, then convert that traffic into sales or advertising revenues. Some people are doing this to pursue a very different goal, something that money can’t even buy.

I’ve known a pastor who uses SEO to bring their Church at the top of the search engine results when someone searches for a church in their locality. In fact, an Internet user who landed on their site through this method eventually decided to be baptized in their Church.

As the Philippine 2010 elections is about a year away, other SEO enthusiasts, who also happened to support a particular personality who have signified their intention to run for a position in the government, started doing SEO for these personalities and the landing site contains valuable information about the would-be candidate and why do people should vote for him/her in the upcoming elections.

I also plan to do this by optimizing a keyword that when someone search for a practitioner of a certain profession (which I do have a license), he/she will be taken to my online portfolio. In this way, I will be able to gain more prospects, not just on consultancies but also expanding my network of contacts.

SEO is a powerful tool. Money. Advocacy. Religion. Politics. Job. Name it, just do it right.

For those who do not know what this thing is about, these sites offer opportunities to individuals to earn from Google Adsense program even without a website. All you have to do is to sign-up for a Google Adsense account, get your Google ID, and participate in these websites. The system doesn’t guarantee steady and huge income, but it has been used and utilized by other individuals who have been active members in either one or more of these websites.

If you know of other Adsense-sharing programs that are not on the list, please post a comment and put in the URL of the website/program that you want to share.

InLinks, is actually an off-shoot of an invitation-only program of Text Link Ads. I have been a member of that program and it’s actually working for me. In fact, all my earnings from TLA comes from the InLinks program.

What makes it different from other link selling programs?

First, it uses your existing content in your blogs. No banners, pop-ups, or annoying messages. Nothing will be changed on your blog, except for the underlined keyphrases on your site’s content when you have sold a link on a blog post. Isn’t that sweet? Second, the system is easy to install and implement. In my blog, for instance, since it is running on Wordpress, all I have to do is to install their plugin and the system will do the rest. I can continue blogging and they will do the work for me. That simplicity of use will entice more webmasters, and non-technical bloggers to try the program.

As for the advertisers, their sites gain more valuable and quality links since links to their sites are located within other website’s contents. Editorial links, as it is called, has more weight for search engines than those sidebar links or footer links that we usually find on blogs. Links appear more natural and more like a part of the actual content. These advantages will surely attract more advertisers to the system and eventually benefit more webmasters, particularly bloggers, who are part of the system, as the market for link buying and selling will expand.

My Tip: If you have a blog that you would like to submit to InLinks, always make sure that whenever you make a post, use keywords or keyphrases that are searched more often in the Internet, since these words are most likely what advertisers will buy on your site.

So if you have a website running Wordpress, Movable Type, Drupal or Ruby on Rails, don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to earn more from your content. Join InLinks now!
