Yesterday we talked about some of the basics of link building in the form of using directories. Today, as promised, are some of the better locales for making submissions and the approved Gypsy list ;0)
While there are thousands of directories out there, I decided to list the more important (powerful) ones that you can look at; we’ll start with the paid…. I will list some of the ‘FREE’ ones following this list. The reason we look at paid directories is that search engines tend to value them more (as they do with human edited). It is always advisable to have some of these in a balanced link profile.

Verticals
It is always a good idea to search out specific vertical directories for your given niche/market. I will add some as I come across them, but you really should search out some yourself as part of the directory submission plan with your programs. I have listed a few with links to more lists;0)

Yahoo’s Desperation
The bomb dropped late wednesday night – Yahoo, in an attempt to show that there are other suitors besides Microsoft, announced that they were running a joint advertising experiment with Google.
In a nutshell, Google will be serving up 3% of the paid ads on the Yahoo search engine (in the United States only) for the next two weeks. Assuming the joint venture is successful, (which presumably means that the Google ads perform better than the Yahoo ads) Yahoo would join operations with the sliding AOL, which already uses Google technology for paid advertising (further complicating the picture, Google owns a 5% stake in AOL). Time Warner would take a 20% interest in the venture, paying in cash. Then, Yahoo would use that money to buy back its own shares in the $35 to $40 range to raise the stock price, a significant premium over the existing Microsoft offer which hovers just below $30 per share.
Sound convoluted? You bet. It’s almost as if Yahoo is trying to throw out as many big names as possible (Google, Time Warner, AOL) in order to send a message to shareholders (and Microsoft) that plenty of other studs want to take them to the prom.
There’s only one problem – it won’t happen. At least not in the way it is currently being presented.
If Google and Yahoo were to combine advertising platforms, which is the logical conclusion when Yahoo is measuring Google’s ad serving technology against their own, the advertising alliance would control over 80% of online advertising in the U.S. Analysts are already proclaiming that this would not pass regulatory scrutiny, which would leave Yahoo right back where it started. Microsoft has already pointed this out, but they are still seen as the evil interloper in all of this, so apparently they don’t count.
I can’t tell you what’s going to happen – but I can tell you that beneath all of Yahoo’s name-dropping and exciting potential alliances I detect the underlying stench of desperation.

Yahoo and Microsoft at it Again?
After publicly claiming that they were through dealing with Yahoo! and had pulled all deals off the table, Microsoft would neither confirm nor deny that they had started talking to them again. This is tantamount to admitting that they are, since the ‘no comment’ stance is different than the ‘we’re through, period’ stance.
In the convoluted mess that this whole saga has become, I suppose nothing should surprise us. So eager was Yahoo! to ward off stockholder revolts and stay independent of Microsoft that they signed on with Google to use Google’s search advertising platform. This is stunning for two reasons:
The likelihood of this passing regulatory scrutiny is low (unless they know something that I don’t), since together Yahoo! and Google combined would control over 80% of the online advertising market.
Yahoo is basically admitting that their $1.63 billion purchase of Overture in 2003 (and all the subsequent R&D dollars that have gone into the ad-serving platform since then) were all for naught.
Item #2 is particularly interesting, since Overture, and subsequently Yahoo, had a huge head start in the paid search space. Adwords Select, the first pay-per-click model from Google, launched in 2002, while GoTo (the former name of Overture) launched four years earlier. What a message for Yahoo! to send to the world – we just aren’t as bright as those Google guys, and we’ve given up trying to be.
I wouldn’t want to be in Jerry Yang’s shoes right now…

Keywords For SEO
When I take on a new site, I like to place a lot of the keyword myself into the different areas such as Title Tags, META Keyword Tags (although not used by search engines so much these days), META Description, ALT Tags, H1 text and also keywords in inner page names.
Once place in which I am not so happy about placing keywords is in the actual content of the page. I like to ask the client to help me when creating text for the web pages. I always tell a client that they are going to be better at writing the copy for their own site as they will understand their industry a lot better than myself. I normally suggest that keywords are placed 5 times in the content of a page and one of these occurrences is in the H1 text, which leaves the client to try and find 4 places where they have to place each keyword. It can be hard work and may not read as well as they would like, and if so, I normally suggest adding more text to the site to try and fit the keywords in.
I would recommend having at least 300 words in a web page before you add the keywords to it. Search engines love text, but they hate non-unique text, so make sure you don't cut and paste - this is the worst thing you can do.
One final point to mention when adding keywords is to try and group your keywords together as closely as possible, so if you have the keywords 'Keywords for SEO' to try and place into the document as many times as possible, it would be better to group these together rather than using a sentence like this.... 'If you want to get you sites keywords higher by using natural search engine listing techniques (SEO) then this is for you' A better way to get the keywords in would be 'Adding keywords for SEO is a good way to help your natural search engine rankings.'

An SEO Expert That's Right For You!
Having been in the business of Internet marketing and SEO in Mumbai for the past few years, I have often been asked if SEO or search optimization is applicable and realistic for small businesses, home businesses and budding entrepreneurs.
Whether it's applicable for a garage enterprise, a local business or a large corporate is not the real question to be answered. The real question here is - Can the prospect of targeting billions of Internet users world-wide searching daily for news, entertainment, businesses, products and services be avoided by any smart businessmen?
Answering this part was easy, but what gets tricky is how to go about choosing a SEO expert and building an Internet marketing strategy that's right for your business.
The issue is that even businesses that are aware of the benefits of SEO and Internet marketing are not sure which way is the right way to go. And I don't blame them. After all there are so many misleading guarantees flying around, SEO gurus and experts who claim they have found the secret key to driving traffic and business, and the stories of websites who claim to be generating thousands of hits without raising a finger does not lessen the pressure to get it right.
So in this confusing marketplace, how is one to go about choosing a SEO professional right for your business?
There are no shortcuts in life. It's the same way if you want to hire a SEO professional and come up with a winning SEO strategy that works for you, then its best that you understand whatsoever you can about the ground realities of search engine optimization.
No I am not asking you to all to become SEO experts and spend your days and (probably) nights identifying the right keywords, optimizing the pages, creating compelling content, building quality links, checking and tweaking for rankings, analyzing analytics reports, analyzing competitors strategies, keeping up with search engine algorithms, and promoting your website across social networking and social bookmarking sites, blogs, RSS feeds and article submission sites. After all then I would be out of business.
There are many things the SEO expert, or a SEO company will not tell you. It's not that they are liars; they just don't feel you will be able to understand if told the naked truth. After all no one wants to be a wet blanket and destroy your dreams of achieving top rankings, and making your millions.
I hope to shed light on some of the blocks in your mind, before you go ahead and identify a SEO expert that's right for you.
SEO is for technology buffs, I am from marketing and sales.
I know my business, product and service better than anyone else. Why do I need a SEO
expert to identify winning keywords?
I boast a list of 200 keywords all listed on my home page, how can I miss?
I have read an article or two about SEO, and I know what works best.
I have applied the right keywords, and meta tags to all pages, now all I have to do is wait
for the magic to begin.
I have built links for 2 months, now I can rest.
The more links I build the better will be my rankings, quantity is the only factor.
As long as I apply the best SEO strategies, I do not need to create interesting content.
In two months my site will be optimized, I can then reap the benefits for years to come.
I have a serious business - social networking and bookmarking sites are for kids.
I am ranked number one, now I can rest.
Note that each of the above statements is partially false, and if we tell you the whole truth, you will feel we are the liars. So choosing the right SEO expert for your company is not so much about finding a good vendor (all good companies know how to do that), but about clearing the misconceptions about SEO in your mind, so that when the right SEO guy walks in through that door, grab him and don't let go.
PS: In case I have missed out anything in my list above, please add to my comments.

Reverse Yahoo Email Address Lookup & Directory
Yahoo! is a well-known and well-liked search directory, second only to search engine giant, Google, in terms of popularity. Many Internet users enjoy everything Yahoo! has to offer, including its email services. Therefore, even if you do not have a Yahoo! e-mail account yourself, it is likely that many of the people who send you electronic mail do.
Since Yahoo! mail is well recognized, it may have never occurred to you not to trust every e-mail you receive that contains Yahoo! as its email host name. You cannot make the mistake of assuming that simply because a web mail provider is popular, that every one who creates an email account with this provider is trustworthy, or will not engage in spamming activities.
Therefore, if you receive an email from an address that features a Yahoo! subdomain, but you don't recognize the name of the sender, or the message itself appears suspicious, you should find out the identity of the sender.
Why? It could turn out the sender is a spammer, scammer, or someone trying to abuse the system. In this case, the individual along with the email you received should be reported to Yahoo! so they can deal with the troublemaker accordingly. On the other hand, you may discover that the sender is your friend who switched email addresses but didn't bother to tell you.
How can you find out information on the email owner through their address? The most convenient and quickest way is to either search the Yahoo! directory for the address, or use different general reverse email lookups provided by other websites that include the Yahoo sub domain in their directories.
Essentially, what you will find is the more reverse searches you can perform on the mystery e-mail, the better. This is because you will quickly discover that the vast majority of free reverse email traces are limited due to web mail providers allowing their clients the choice of opting information in or out of their directories. Thus, finding useful or any results is not typical.
Therefore, if you really want to learn the unknown email sender's information, you will need to consider paying a nominal fee for a Yahoo email address lookup. You will have more luck at finding the details you seek with a pay search, because the technology tools this service uses is more high-tech than free lookups.

Profit From Domain Parking
In the beginning of 2008 year I read a book! I got it from my wife as a Christmas present, but I started reading only few weeks later. It was very good book - Bodo Schafer's "The Road to Financial Freedom".
It was like a light at the end of tunnel :) I started looking for ways how to generate passive income. I attended rapid reading courses, tried to work on self training to get to higher level. All my effort's took my minds to this mind:
I want to work for myself when I want and I want to feel free not to work, enjoy myself being with my family! Recently I read an article how anyone can make ROI (revenue on investment) at about 1000% in a month on domain parking. To start you need only 10$ (to buy a domain).
It looked great, but too great. That's why I did my own calculations on domain profit form domain parking.
Let's say we buy a domain for average price 10 $ (as Moniker.com offers .com domain for ~ 10$, .net domain for ~ 6$, .org domain for 11$ and .info domain for ~ 5$). We park it at Sedo.com or Parked.com (I prefer Parked.com, cause it is based by Yahoo, and most of my domains have many Yahoo links). I could calculate for a maximum revenue, but i would calculate for minimum revenue. Because I want to show you, that YOU can do this as your secondary way of income and after some time, when you'll fell confident to work only for yourself, it will become you first income way. Usually we won't get much from parking on first month, let it be 4$. After first month our domain's keywords and look would be optimized and Click rate would be greater. But I won't tell you - "from now on you'll be a millionaire". Of course we can be, but a little bit later. It depends on how hard you'll try to do this, and how many bucks you going to put in.
So let's start calculating ..
First we buy domain research services (there are many vendors and later I'll write some reviews) for 37$ per month. We buy a number of domains (let it be 30 for the start). First month you should get average 4$. And for other months we'll do calculations. We count on average unique visitors - 600 per month (it will be 20 visitors per day, 1 visitor per 1,2 hours). If average click rate is 10%, which is low rate, usually it is at about 20-25%, and average pay per click rate 0,10 $, which usually is at 0.25-0.5$ - we get 6$ from one domain per month. Remember you bought a domain for 10 $, and you get revenue of 10 $ in 2 months.
We bought 30 domains first month, so we would get 30*10 = 300 $ in 2 months. What it should be for 12 months ? After optimization your domain's click rate should go high. As working on minimum case, we count on 2% profit increase. But it can as high as 20 %. But let's stay on minimum case. After 12 months we will have ~ 2310 $. Remember we started from 337$. So we have ROI (revenue on investment) equal to 685%.
Imagine if you would buy domains next month and then next month? What should you get after that?

It was like a light at the end of tunnel :) I started looking for ways how to generate passive income. I attended rapid reading courses, tried to work on self training to get to higher level. All my effort's took my minds to this mind:
I want to work for myself when I want and I want to feel free not to work, enjoy myself being with my family! Recently I read an article how anyone can make ROI (revenue on investment) at about 1000% in a month on domain parking. To start you need only 10$ (to buy a domain).
It looked great, but too great. That's why I did my own calculations on domain profit form domain parking.
Let's say we buy a domain for average price 10 $ (as Moniker.com offers .com domain for ~ 10$, .net domain for ~ 6$, .org domain for 11$ and .info domain for ~ 5$). We park it at Sedo.com or Parked.com (I prefer Parked.com, cause it is based by Yahoo, and most of my domains have many Yahoo links). I could calculate for a maximum revenue, but i would calculate for minimum revenue. Because I want to show you, that YOU can do this as your secondary way of income and after some time, when you'll fell confident to work only for yourself, it will become you first income way.

SEO 20-20 Vision
Do you have SEO 20/20 vision? Charles does. I'm catching on partly because of Charles Heflin but he is not the only one helping me. What if he's a little too difficult at first? What should you do? Well hang in there with Charles and add one more teacher...
His name is Mike. I can truly recommend Mike because I am just a few months out from adding Mike to my list of people to help me and guess what? I'm finally getting traffic and free targeted leads every single day. I even had to send an email to the people on my list that haven't taken my advice to say "Friends, I'm swamped with leads all of a sudden and if it lasts, the only ones receiving my coaching emails from now on are those that learn from Mike with me." Or something like that.
The point is, I can now, after studying with Charles Heflin, Mike Dillard and Ann Sieg, just to name a few. I can now with experience say that I know what it's like to wake up every morning with at least one and often two new targeted leads every day because of one Mike - Mike Klingler.
Have you heard of him? He is the founder of Renegade University. He's the one with SEO 20/20 vision. All my other teachers have been great. Those I named above and many that I haven't named. But I can now say without a doubt, that if I had found Mike Klingler first and just learned from him and him only, I'd be wealthy by now.
Does that sound like hype? OK, then, let me rephrase it a little. Enrolling in Renegade University and following the video tutorials step by step, click by click, provided daily traffic and daily leads mainly because Mike Klingler got me into massive action.
I was the study wrong action crowd. There is also a massive action no study crowd. Neither creates wealth. You have to study, act, then study,act, etc. In that order OR (and here's a big clue) OR you can study and act simultaneously and cut in have the time it takes to get extra income and eventually create wealth.
Learning with Mike Klingler you see one, do one. See one click, do one click. The really awesome thing is that people learning with Mike Klingler click by click start getting targeted traffic and free leads without getting it. People who haven't ever heard of SEO, do it click by click with Mike and guess what? Money, extra money.
People who have never heard of monetization start learning internet marketing from Mike Klingler and guess what? Money, extra money. I could go on and on. Of course, sooner, not later, Mike Klingler's students do not just get their checks, they also get SEO.

SEO Tips For Higher Adsense Earnings
Anyone who has been using Google's AdSense on their pages obviously feel the need to somehow generate more traffic for their website. This would in turn translate into more AdSense clicks and a higher income.
The question that arises then is, how do you do it? The best way to get visitors to visit your website apart from using AdWords, is to use techniques that will increase your search engine ranking for searches relating to your topics of interest. This in turn will lead to more traffic to come to your website.
This technique is known as search-engine optimization or simply SEO and will increase your search engine ranking substantially. So here are a bunch of tips that come in handy for every amateur or professional optimizer.
The first thing you need to take care of is the source code and layout of your page. You must try and keep this as simple as possible. If you have a complex layout the search engines as well as Adsense will have trouble in extracting the most relevant keywords from your site.
The second thing is to try and have each one of your pages target only one specific topic. This way it is a lot easier for them to get indexed properly and for the AdSense ads to be consistent with the content of the site itself.
You should also try not to include too many hyperlinks in your page. This also means you should try not to use too many AdSense ads on your page either.
If you want to target certain keywords make sure the word you wish to target is present in the title, in the first paragraphs as well as in the name of the file. While you're at it you might want also want to ensure the word springs up in the page's last paragraphs.
And of course, it's very important that your content is original and compelling. How do you do this? Well the easiest way to do it is to find something you're really passionate about. That way, providing you give it a lot of effort you're bound to have a great page quite fast.
If the content you are using in your website is in the public domain (which is highly discouraged) at least make sure that you give it an original title, and add an opening and a closing paragraph of your own.
This takes a little while, but if, after waiting, you still can't find your page near the top, you should try rewriting your title and your first and last paragraphs. It doesn't take much, often just changing a few words but will give you the right results.
There is also the use of keyword tools that may aid you in finding some good keywords to include on your page that will drive visitors to your site more and more.
So those are the basic techniques in search engine optimization. You can find a lot of computer tools to aid you in doing this, and of course, Google is a great place to search for this.
In the end, you'll find that SEO is a complex topic, with entire books having been written on it. You might find that you need to do a lot of optimization in order to get more and more visitors to your site and clicking those precious AdSense banners.
