It’s time in my adsense coaching course to begin promoting our sites. The coach recommends 2 article marketing sites, so I’ve started checking into them. One costs and one is free. The coach’s plan calls for extensive submission of articles for months to come. Seems like the primary purpose for the article marketing is to get backlinks to our site. I have a couple questions about the process that haven’t been answered yet, so I’m sort of waiting for those before I move ahead with the article submission.
In the meantime I decided to try to get my sites indexed by submitting the homepages to a bunch of social bookmarking sites. It’s an experiment, and I’m very curious to see if it works. The major social bookmarking sites tend to have a pretty good PR, but even if the ranking isn’t passed on at all, I’m expecting my sites to be spidered very quickly.
My tool of choice is Bookmarking Demon. I did some research and this one seemed to stand out as being the best among the tools that automate social bookmarking. I actually found it quite easy to use, although had to rely on the videos on the sales page for the tutorial on using the software. I got a really good price on Bookmarking Demon through my Keyword Avalanche membership. You wouldn’t believe the deals I can get there on all kinds of marketing software.
Once my sites are indexed, the next step will be to announce all the content articles on Article Underground blogs. These will provide links for sure, as many as 50 per site if I take the action. I’ve actually developed quite a list of resources for bringing links to my websites. I’ll start my article marketing as soon as I’m clear on the technique the coach is recommending.
Another issue today is my fitness site that I’ve had for awhile. It’s getting some traffic, but few adsense clicks. I’ve decided it’s a good idea to redesign the site. I originally used a template from a package Joel Comm sold, so tons of people have this template. It’s all part of the duplicate content issue. Not a good idea to use anything on your site that a lot of other people may be using. So, another experiment. Will redesigning my site bring more adsense clicks? We’ll see.
That’s it for now.
