How To Choose A Not Terrible SEO Link Building Tool

Building SEO links by hand is still one of the most helpful things you can do for ranking your website. Suss out where your prospective market is hanging out. Attract them back to your site with top quality information and other memes, images, videos and hooks. You should also leave an open loop that keeps them craving more (we teach these sorts of link baiting methods in our certification events).

Everyone is selling backlinking tools and most nearly everyone uses them or is spending money looking for the best one!

And in these days of Google Pandas and Penguins the 1 Million Dollar question is: "How do you survive the potential SEO zebras and skunks in the future?"

How should you create inbound links but also avoid future Google SEO penalties?

The best solution is to make use of a link building tool that has an extremely normal link building pattern and does not leave a footprint.

We do not settle for "second best" when it comes to link building tools, nor should you.

Here is What We Look Before Buying a Back linking Tool:

The marketing copy and sales page must not be too sleazy on a backlinking tool. You know the one. Huge promises, empty features. If it's sleazy on the outside, chances are it will be sleazy on the inside. This is true for any SEO tool you buy. But this is especially true for link building tools because links are not something you can have removed easily once you make a bad link building decision. If you get penalized by Google the only way to dig yourself out is with purchasing or building quality links or by deleting the pages that have been flagged.

The Quality of the Link is Extremely Important:

Don't tolerate spammy 3rd party link building sites. Look for good sites. Some lesser quality is to be expected with most link building packages. However I'd rather pay a little more per link and have quality.

The Primary Things To Watch For:

1. I am not so interested in a network of blogs. Google has hit those hard recently. I have no clue the quality of the link if they don't tell me. Is it themed? Is there page rank? Is the content descent?

2. I want links from proven SEO platforms that drive traffic. They should also drive PR or Page Rank. Some of these back links will be from sites that do not follow or "no-follow" their links. This is just fine because it looks more natural.

Here is my preferred types of 3rd party platforms in descending order:

squidoo, storify, scoop.it

wiki submissions and article directories

.edu links - A handful of these is enough unless you have a very educationally rich topic or a topic that would appeal strongly to students (like concert ticket sales)

web directories, business directories -

articles on Web 2.0 blogs like Digg and Stumbled Upon are excellent when highly trafficked.

public blogs like blogger.com, wordpress.com

twitter and other micro blogs

social bookmarks and status updates are marginal, as are forums and blog comments - better than a hit in the head, but you have to have a ton to make any impact on your Page Rank.

content aggregator and RSS aggregator sites. These are useful and should be an automated part of your empire.

3. Being able to schedule the links or throttle the speed of your link building is important. New web sites need to build their page rank and link building process more slowly. This is true especially if the website has never had a link campaign before. Don't go from 0 links to 3000 links overnight. This looks very unnatural and suspicious to Google. Don't do it. Sort of funny that people actually PAY to get themself de-indexed, not even knowing what they are doing.

4. I want you to get an SEO link report, once the URL to your site has been created for two reasons:

You will want to check on the quality of the link. What does the content look like? Are there grammar errors? Do they stay true to the theme of site?

You will want to pipe the URLs into the second-level One-Feed. We train folks on how to do this.

How I Proceed with Testing a New Back Link Service:

Backlink testing can be extremely hard. It is best to start with a fresh domain- unpolluted by previous link building efforts. When testing the power of an inbound link campaign, you need a clear head and a fresh domain.

For example, it is best to have a minimum of six domains all with a similar PR. These domains should have roughly the same activity and same amount of traffic. It is helpful if they are ina similar niche. This will help you create a testing and ranking "baseline". Then on 3 of the 6 sites you should test the unknown non-sleazy backlinking tool.

Give your test at least three months and watch the traffic, conversions, rankings. Also keep an eye on the pagerank. Three months should be long enough for Google to have an algorithm update as well as a couple of the regular monthly evaluations.

Also keep an eye on Google webmaster tools for any signs of unnatural links. They may leave you signals and warnings about bad link building in your Webmasters notes. If you have a new domain get a message in Google webmaster tools, you still can't be absolutely certain that the offending issue is the new inbound links you have recently added, but it is a good signal to check.

It is a good idea to look at analytics and webmaster tools for our entire empire once per week.

How to Fix Your PC Problems

Even after using computers for long times, many people still believe that fixing computer performance problems require expensive tools. This is a very common misconception, as you do not have to be a rocket scientist to fix many common problems that you may face while using computers. There are some very easy ways to take care of these problems, without calling a professional for help. This does not mean that you undermine the skills of these professionals, as they have a lot of experience solving such problems.

However, the fact is that there are a lot of common problems that can be fixed by following some very easy tips. The best way is always to search for the solutions online. This way you would be able to solve even the more complex problems, if you invest some time to learn some things about your computer.

The first step is very simple; before you take your PC for repairs, try to look for some very common computer performance issues and their solutions. The chances are that you find the solutions online and save a lot of money. This is the most obvious benefit of fixing the PC yourself. As, getting your system serviced at a repair shop will cause anything between $40 and $100 per hour. Some of these services are cheaper than normal but most of these cheap services deal in software repairs and are useless in fixing hardware problems.

The other fact is to realize that you do not need a lot of expensive diagnostic tools to fix your PC problems. Chances are that you already have 95% of tools in your toolbox for fixing or repairing a computer. Other than that, many software diagnostic tools are available free online, and even the paid ones are not that expensive. For instance, the most common tool, registry cleaner, for repairing or maintaining the Windows registry is available online for as low as $25. All you need to do is search for such softwares. These tools will help you to speed up and optimize your PC by finding and fixing registry errors.

Other software tools like disk defragmenter, for speeding up system are included in the operating system itself. Many people do not realize that and spend a lot of money on improving PC performance. Disk defragmentation can improve your system speed to great extent.

Last but not least, you must realize the fact that you know a lot more about system errors or repairs, than what you think. So, do not undermine yourself and try to fix these problems.

What Evolution Is

The Theory of Evolution began with Charles Darwin and his book, Origin of Species. Interestingly, he did not conclude that evolution began billions of years ago in a chance combination of just the right chemicals. He simply observed that many species were similar enough that they appeared to come from a common ancestor. Despite its "evolution" into what it is today, it has become the default scientific explanation of the origin of life.

To understand evolution, one must understand the difference between the origin of life and the tiny changes that we do see happen and are clearly happening. The origin of life is thought to have taken place billions of years ago when the earth was rather young and was bathed in water and a plethora of simple molecules that included carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, chlorine, etc. In other words, the ingredients of life. It is believed that with the aid of energy from the sun, these chemicals combined in various combinations and every once in a while, or maybe just once, the one in a million chance (so to speak) would cause a combination that could be classified as primitive life giving molecules. Eventually these combined to make more complex molecules until they formed into what would be considered a very simple cell of come sort.

Now of course it is thought that even basic molecules were very uncommon, and the more complex they became the lesser and lesser chance they had of forming, but that the one in a billion billion billion billion, etc. ended up as a cell. Of course this took place over millions of years, it is not supposed to have happened in a short time. However, for some random reason, a tiny fraction, or perhaps even just one of these few primitive cells, through pure chance, happened to have the ability to divide, which it began doing. Soon there were lots of these cells and as they filled the ocean, natural selection began to take effect and most of them died off, but every once in a while, one would have a mutation that allowed it to adapt a little better and therefore reproduce.

It is this natural selection that we see every day. We know for example that wolves were the original ancestors of dogs. This is an example of evolution, just evolution that humans forced. Every once in a while, a wolf was a little tamer than normal and then bred to produce offspring that were also tame. Over many generations, they became what we call dogs today. There are also clear similarities between animals in different places because their environments demanded slightly different survival properties.

These distinctions are important because no one is positing that species can't change over time, but many deny that life could have come from a pool of non-living molecules purely by chance. So when you say that you don't buy into evolution, you don't usually mean that minor attributes of species cannot change over time, you mean that you don't think life originated with a pool of slime. Not understanding the difference can make it seem that you do not know what is evolution.

What's More Profitable? A Digital Product Or A Physical Product

When you create your own eBook and sell it online, you will typically keep 95% of every sale you make. Now that does not included marketing expenses. I'm talking about infrastructure related expenses.

In the case of digital products that includes website maintenance, payment processing, and product delivery. Paid advertising is not factored in here.

Now let's see how much we'll make from the same piece of content in paperback format. After all expenses have been paid (excluding marketing expenses) you can expect to keep about 30 - 40% of each sale.

Let's take a look at Amazon.com. A paperback there may sell for about $12. That means you'll make roughly $3-4 for every book sold.

If you take the same book and put it on the Amazon kindle store in digital format it may sell for $3.99 a copy. But this time you'll keep about $3.25 at least from each sale.

Now, which way could you expect to get more sales?

If you're a customer looking to purchase this book would you rather pay $3.99 or $12?

Would you rather wait 3-5 days (and pay even more for shipping costs) or download it to your phone or iPad instantly?

So, not only will you get a higher profit margin with the digital format, but you'll potentially get more sales too!

What if you're marketing this book on your own site? Would you like to make 40% or 95% on each book sold? Also, do you want to have the headache of dealing with the distributor, refunds, returns, repackaging, etc? Heck you almost need to hire a VA just to deal with that!

The upside to physical products is that they provide much more credibility and personal branding to the author than digital products. When the paperback book you wrote is sitting on someone's bookshelf next to John Maxwell and Napoleon Hill you get instant guru status simply for being there.

As far as personal branding goes, you get your face all over the place. Having real, tangible book that you can use as a business card goes a lot further than letting someone download your ebook.

For all the reasons I just mentioned it seems like only the truly successful entrepreneurs are the ones who can afford to deal with the nuances of physical product creation.

You can absolutely make money with either a digital or a physical product. If you're strictly looking at profit margins then digital is the way to go. However, if you want credibility and guru status then you may want to publish a paperback.

If it's your first time at selling your own information products online then I would suggest the digital route. After you have a few successful products under your belt then use the profits to cover the additional expenses of creating a physical product. Then you'll gain guru status in your niche!

Setting Up Your Own Aquaponics System

Aquaponics is a symbiotic, integrated farming system that involves raising fish in tanks and using their nutrient rich water to grow fruit, vegetables and other plants. Once it is set up and cycled (creating sufficient amount of bacteria to produce enough nitrates for the plants and keep ammonia levels down for the fish), a small or home based system should only take a few minutes a day to care for the fish. If the fish are happy, the plants will require little to no care; and if your system is properly set up, the plants will take care of cleaning the water, so you won't spend your time cleaning the fish tank.

Aquaponics is one of the best and easiest ways to produce fresh, natural and healthy fruit and vegetables for the whole family without the pesticides of mass production, the high prices of store bought organics or the chemicals and non-renewable minerals required to feed a purely hydroponic system. You can choose to raise the fish as a hobby or harvest them for food, either way you are getting two direct benefits: fish and produce. Additional advantages include pride and self-confidence that comes from building something on your own and an opportunity to involve the whole family in a productive healthy activity.

How do Aquaponics Work?

A basic system is composed of: a fish tank, a unit to remove solids, a hydroponics subsystem to grow the plants and a sump to receive the water once it has gone through the system. From there the water is pumped bank into the fish tank and the cycle begins all over again. A bio-filter mechanism is necessary to convert ammonia to nitrates, most systems do not require a separate filter because they are the filter (ammonia attracts airborne nitrosomonas bacteria that convert it to nitrites, the nitrites then require some media or filtration system, depending on your system, to flow through where the nitrite to nitrate converting bacteria can grow and do their job).

Your main task will be to keep the fish environment healthy with proper PH balance, light, and temperature. On a home system this should only require a few minutes so of your time every day to check conditions, makes whatever adjustments might be necessary and feed the fish.

Space: How Much Space is Required for an Aquaponics System?

One of the great things about aquaponics is that it is a scalable system. A home-based system can be almost any size: a small indoor fish tank/aquarium set up to feed a few plants, a corner of the yard, the whole yard. You can build a decorative aquarium style system in your house; you can use your garage. You can also decide to go big for your extended family, or even bigger for commercial purposes. You can make your decision based on the outcome you desire such as production volume or space availability. You can decide to grow it incrementally: start small until you get the hang of it and then grow it to any size. Really it is all up to you.

If you only have room for a small footprint but you need more volume you can build a vertical system. Vertical columns above the fish tank house the plants. A vertical unit that takes up 1m X 2m (3 feet by 6 feet), for example, is twice as efficient as a hydroponic system of the same size. You can get 200 heads of lettuce in one year out of a single five foot column and it is much more water efficient than traditional farming with soil.

Location: Where Should You Put Your Aquaponics System?

Make sure the space you are contemplating is suitable. It can be and interior or exterior location such as your yard, your garage, or even your living room for smaller systems. The following is a list of basic considerations that should go into selecting a space:

Keep it simple: make sure the floor or ground is level. Decide how you are going to get electricity to power the pumps. Be safe, avoid long extension cords and complicated setups: make sure you have or can easily install an outlet nearby. Consider whether the design you choose will require a cover a cover of some kind ( it depends on the system you decide to go with). Although it si not all that loud, there will always be some noise coming from the system ( pump, running water) and since it should run day and night, you will probably want to avoid locating it too close to your bedroom or anywhere else where you need absolute quiet. Will you be able to maintain proper conditions for the fish and plants? (temperature and light for example)

The System: Which One Do You Choose?

You will need to decide what aquaponics model you want to adopt. There are many designs but three main models to choose from. (within those there are a number of design options):

MEDIA BASED (ie gravel, clay pebbles etc.): This is the most popular model for home based systems. There are different types of media based systems that you may want to consider: Continuous flow (uses expanded clay pebbles) this is a simple set up and it works, Basically the water trickles down after having been pumped up to the media bed, there are some disadvantages that make some people prefer other methods such as Simple Flood and Drain. Flood and Drain (uses gravel), can be set up as an Ebb and Flow system or Simple Flood and Drain, which may be the simplest and easiest system to set up and is effective, you just need to ensure that fish tank levels don't drop too much when the water is flooding the beds. Other methods include CHIFT PIST (Constant Height in Fish Tank, Pump In Sump Tank and Sump Tank Two Pump. DEEPFLOW / RAFT - more commonly found in commercial systems. The medium in this case is water (30 to 40 cm /12"-16" deep) in long channels. Plants in net pots are floated on rafts made from Styrofoam, plastics or other floating material. Their roots are always in water. NUTRIENT FILM TECHNIQUE [NFT]: Can be used both commercially and at home but is the least common in either case. These systems require mechanical filtration and higher maintenance than any other. It is similar to Deepflow but instead of being immersed in water the roots receive nourishment from a rivulet of water as it runs through the channel.

Finally, you will also need to decide what fish to raise (for food or as pets, you will also need to consider legalities for some species, climatic conditions etc.) and what plants to grow (many choices here). Space, method, system design, prep, fish, plants, prep... this probably all sounds really overwhelming and complicated but it is not; just take it one step at a time. You can build a system and have it running within a short time producing food for you and your family.

There are a number of ways to achieve this. You can hire someone to build it for you, which can be costly and defeats the purpose of doing something from scratch yourself. You will also be less self-sufficient when it comes to maintenance. You can opt for a pre-fab kit, an intermediate solution that is more costly than doing it yourself but probably less costly than a custom design and installation. Aside from cost, the problem you run into here is that your choices will be more limited; you will be stuck with whatever the kit gives you. Finally, the least expensive, most flexible and most self-sufficient option is to do it all yourself, which, believe it or not, is simple enough. As long as you have a good set of comprehensive, easy to follow instructions, you will soon be eating fresh, healthy natural produce from your very own aquaponics garden!
