JOIN in a 3 WAY LINKing for better search engine optimization? | |
Oct 9 - Friday
HELLO Everyone,
Initially, I will start with 15 or so participants - one group at a time. I need to know what hiccups I will encounter before I go full blast with this. Also, I have a wedding tomorrow and my parents are coming to visit. It will be about one week from now Oct 16th, for phase two.
Those 15 or 20 participants will get an email from me soon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you plan to join, please make sure your email that\'s in your FM profile is up to date.
NEVER TOO LATE TO JOIN.
INTRODUCTION
Links (many links) will help you get to page one! Many of us are paying Yahoo or Google and other online directories to be place on the first page. This is very expensive that it will take a lot from your profit. If you work on your SEO overtime, it will lead to paying out less on advertising since your clients will find you on page one from an organic google seach. SEO of your website is an on going work and it takes time to be number ONE.
There are several types of links that can help your website SEO. Each type of link has differing relevance, 2 way (reciprocating links) having the least relevance. For this linking strategy, we will be doing 3 way which is best since we do not link back to each other directly. 3 way linking is noticed by google as one way, so it has better relevance than a 2 way. Furthermore, linking to like websites have higher relevance than linking to none related sites.
What I am after are links that has the best relevance which is what this thread is all about.
I\'d like to keep this going and add people on the list on a monthly, if not every other month basis depending on the amount of people wanting to join after the initial FRIDAY start. Let me know what you think about this on going linking strategy for all our benefit.
This Friday OCT 9
Requirements:
You must have a website that you can add bunch of links.
Your blog site must be photography related - better linking relevance compared to different site.
Respond to this thread where you live (State or Country) - help me figure out where to group you and avoids a website pimping a next door competition.
Make sure your email on your FM profile is up to date.
Respond to this thread if you are interested. If you plan to be in this business for awhile, then it helps to do it now. Besides, it is getting slow and we will have more time to play with our websites / seo.

Please read: YOU DO NOT LINK TO OTHERS IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA.. Much like you, I don\'t like to advertise other photographers in my area. I don\'t really care if I link to someone in S. Cal but I do care if the link is to N. Cal or Hawaii photographer. Since some togs will travel to the nearest state, I am grouping photographers according to the area they live in. There are not enough Europeans or South Americans at this time but I know that there are plenty of UK/non-US photographer out there that wants to eventually join so they will be all group in one.
  Each group will link to a different group but not to each other within a group. Participants are group according to their geographic area so that you don\'t link to your competition. If you are in a group that will link to a competition, let me know via email. If you are an international ROCK STAR photographer , choose a group by letting me know via email. Tentatively: group 1 links to group2, 2 to 3, and 3 to1.

Email me:
YOUR FM HANDLE ALONG WITH THE EMAIL information I requested.
Oct8
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION SO THAT THINGS WILL RUN SMOOTHLY:
1. Email me. Under the subject heading of your email put which group your in - For example, if you\'re pacdzyne from Portland you will need to write \"Group 1\"
2. I need you to send me exactly what you want the other group to put on his/her website. Give me one anchor text (keyword) please. Choose wisely since it is very important that you use the right anchor text. Go to
http://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal to find out what is best for you. Feel free to just copy what\'s below and change the words. For HTML: Change the words between the quotation \"****\" , between >****< , and the last words.
Example: San Francisco Photographer - Best Dude Photography - Specializing in Nude Photography
Example: <P ALIGN=\"LEFT\"><A HREF=\"http://www.bestdudephoto.com\" TARGET=\"_blank\"><U>San Francisco Photographer </U></A>- Best Dude Photography - Specializing in Nude Photography</FONT></P>
Example: Best Dude Photography - San Francisco Photographer - Specializing in Wedding Photography
Example: <P ALIGN=\"LEFT\"><FONT SIZE=\"11\" COLOR=\"#000000\" >Best Dude Photography - <A HREF=\"http://www.davisphoto.com\" TARGET=\"_blank\"><U>San Francisco Photographer </U></A>- Specializing in Wedding Photography</FONT></P>
Here is a link to an html editor: http://flashpalette.com/help/text_editor/
3. Once I have received the above info from everyone, I will then email you the necessary links to add to your site.
4. Once you have added EVERYONE\'s links in the GROUP that I send you, email me the link to your link page so that I can email everyone in the other group to verify / check their links.
5. IMPORTANT: I will be the one that will notify each group. DO NOT CONTACT INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS / GROUP. People don\'t like to get bunch of email wanting things. Plese EMAIL ME with any problems and I will handle them. If you\'re having a
problem, most likely there are others with the same problem.
6. Please, respond to this email as soon as you can. I can\'t start until I have everyone\'s info. IF for some reason someone is not responding to their emails from me, I may need to change the grouping jsut a little bit to make it all even (I will let
you know).
7. If you don\'t know how to add links to your site, let me know.
8. If you want out, let me know and I will delete you from the list and notify the group.
9. Once everything is done - you can check for backlinks in several days to show or you can visit eash site to verify (I will email you the links once the participants are done).
10. If you are computer savvy and would like to help other computer challenge participants - let me know when you answer this email. Tell me what type of website you have - Flashpallete, wordpress blog, blue, etc.
11. I plan this to be an ongoing link exchange 3 way style for all the members here.
12. I hope you don\'t mind, as a bonus for me (sweating and puffing putting this together), I will add one of my website to all the group except participants in Northern CA (since that\'s were I am).
Thank you for participating!
Mike
If you\'re not on this list, let me know.

How to pick the right anchor text -
Just ask yourself - What does a bride type into the search field when they are looking for YOU.
Wedding Photographer - not a good choice since it takes a lot of SEO work to get to page one.
Your CIty Wedding Photographer - Best since you\'re not competing with the rest of the world but just the togs in your city. Easier to get to page one with proper SEO work on your blog plus linking.
Alternatives:
Wedding Photographer Your City
Wedding photographers Your city
Your city Wedding photographers
If you live in a small town, you will probably need to use the next bigger town. For example, Milpitas Wedding Photographer (a small town north of San Jose, CA) has \"not enough data\" meaning less search query compared to San Francisco Wedding Photographer which seems to be what SF people type in the search field when looking for a photographer.
The \"s\" make a difference. I believe that there are more searches for words without \"S\" at the end (for example: photographer vs. photographers).
