Link Building 101: How to Evaluate the Power of Directories

Posted on October 30th, 2008 by Amy Nutt
by Amy Nutt

It’s extremely important to be able to evaluate the power of a directory for link building. Especially when you consider that the power of a directory listing is much more complicated than just looking at the PR of the directory homepage.

Hence, the goal of this post is to train the average Toronto SEO enthusiast how to quickly and effectively evaluate the power of general directories through link analysis and evaluation. The post is going to focus on the power of general directories because they are much more prevalent than niche directories; which obviously are powerful if your in the same niche. At the end of the day, there are hundreds of directories (both paid and free) that you can submit too, so you need to know how to quickly evaluate the power of these directories in order to make the most out of your time and money. Efficiency is key!

Without much further ado, here’s a list of the 7 most important criteria to look for when evaluating the power of general directories:

1.) Check the PR of the directory: Although PR isn’t everything; this is hands-down the fastest and easiest way to judge the power of any directory. As a general rule of thumb, any directory at PR 5 or above has good authority, while anything below a PR 3 has low authority.

2.) Check whether domain ranks in Google: This important test identifies if the directory has been penalized by Google. Simply go to Google and type in the directory domain name (without spaces); they should appear #1 unless the domain is targeting highly competitive keywords (should still be on first page). If they don’t appear at all and Google suggests a different search term, then they have been penalized by Google.

3.) Indexability and last time cached: This quick check-up is to determine how often the Google bots are indexing the sub-page’s content. Just go to Google, and enter a cache query. For a directory sub-page, a good cache date would be within 1-2 weeks, but no longer than 1 month. A higher frequency of cache dates indicate that the site is more powerful and authoritative.

4.) Number (and quality) of inbound links: Is a fairly simple measure of the overall power and authority associated with the directory. The higher the better. Being listed in DMOZ wouldn’t hurt either 🙂

5.) Number of outbound links and PR of sub-pages: When choosing a category to submit too, relevancy is the most important factor to consider. But oftentimes, a submission could go in several categories. In these cases, in order to choose the best sub-page or category to submit too, you need to look at the sub-page’s PR and also the number of outbound links. One of the most telling signs of an authority directory is if they have PR sub-pages, because Google loves to take the second level PR away from directories.

So, if you find a directory sub-page of PR 3 or higher: the directory is carrying a good amount of power, authority and Google credibility. The second point to consider is the number of outbound links on the sub-page. In many cases there will be so many listings that you won’t even get on the first sub-page of your selected category. You need to keep this in mind when deciding which category to submit too. You want to submit to the sub-page that has a low number of outbound links to ensure that your link gets the most link juice available.

6.) Does the directory have sitewide links in Google?: When you search for the directory’s domain name do they have sitewide links under their listing? If yes, this signifies that the directory has high authority in Google’s eyes.

7.) Check appearances at public events and industry conventions: The theory behind this test is simple; if the directory owners can afford to advertise in key industry events (SES and SMX for example) then they obviously have a long-term strategy and are an authority. Obviously this rule isn’t set in stone, but being at these events is a pretty clear indication of a powerful directory.

There’s also one more test, but it takes more time as it’s a bit more advanced because it can be time intensive. The anchor text test is a great way to determine the power of a directory by measuring the link juice that the directory passes on to your anchor text. Here’s how to execute the anchor text text:

– First you need to find a unique anchor text within a sub-category (that isn’t mentioned on the site’s homepage) – Next, check to see how that site ranks for that specific keyword(s) in the SERP’s

This test doesn’t take into consideration the other search engine optimization and link building efforts of the client, but it is an effective way to attempt to measure the link juice being sent from the directory to your site (or client’s site). The hardest part is finding the unique anchor text, because most of these anchors would most likely be targeting their site’s competitive keywords, which would be mentioned on the homepage. But this isn’t always the case, hence why the anchor text test can be very useful when you are trying to gauge the power of a link within a directory.

Another thing to keep in mind with the power of directory submissions is the featured listing or premiere listing option that enables your listing to be placed at the top of your desired sub-category for some extra dough. Is it worth it? Personally, I don’t see much value in these type of listings unless the sub-page has PR and a lot of outbound links. In this case, a regular submission wouldn’t get you on the first page of the category, so it would be worth paying an extra $20 or so because without it, your link won’t be getting the same “juice” as it would be if placed on that desired subpage with PR.

Remember to keep this quick checklist in mind when considering which directories to submit too, and also be sure to check out the last part of this series which will cover potential downfalls and other mistakes to avoid when making directory submissions.

Black Belt Must Mobilize Themselves and Others For Six Sigma

Posted on October 30th, 2008 by Craig Calvin
by Craig Calvin

In order to have an effective improvement project, the leaders, or Black Belts are depended on for effectiveness in leadership. This will most likely be the Black Belts because they should be the ones with the best knowledge of Six Sigma techniques, as well as being effective at mobilizing all parties required to bring about these improvements. First, they must be able to mobilize themselves.

Every Black Belt may not be good at mobilizing stakeholders and teams. Luckily, they can learn this skill, by first learning to mobilize oneself. The best way to understand everything is to be able to get into the team members’ heads to see their viewpoints. Once they can do these things, they can mobilize others.

A Black Belt has a very important task to mobilize the team members and to do so has to get into the shoes of the members. The first thing the team members would always wish to know is “what is in it for me”. If it seems on the face of the matter that there is not much in it, then the Black Belts should get the participation of all by asking them, ‘as to what they expect?’ The Black Belt can base his meetings accordingly.

Stakeholders are also in need of mobilization, as they will be affected by changes as well. The stakeholders are comprised of higher up management, peers and clients. It is imperative to relay project status to them. Keeping them up to date will assist you in getting them to accept projects.

The project leader or the Black Belts can mobilize others very well, if they are able to mobilize themselves first and understand the needs of others. By constant review and analysis of the members, the Black Belts can ensure that everyone is geared up towards the success of the project.

If you are taking on a project in your company, six sigma can provide tools for success. By having a six sigma black belt on your team, you can ensure success.

How To Market Your Home Based Business

Posted on October 30th, 2008 by Mike Schwartz
by Mike Schwartz

Now that you have started your home business you need to figure out how to market it. There are many ways for you to gain popularty. One of the quickest ways to do this is to write articles.

once your article has been accepted it goes live on the web and you start getting valuable back links to your website. Your popularity will grow the articles you write. And you will be more popular the more links you get.

Also the more links you have to your site the better chance you will have that someone will see them and go to your site. This is a great strategy for new home business owners because you can do this for free. This will take a little time to see the results but will be very profitable in the long run.

Another popular way to advertise is by using pay per click ads. This is when you write a small ad and pay a search engine so much per person that clicks on your add. The advantage to this method is that the public sees your add almost immediately.

You just bid on the key words you want and then pay so much for each one. This is very tricky and takes a lot of training and knowlege. You could loose your money very quickly if you don’t know how to do this.

Another great way to get a lot of exposer is to get involved with an advertising Co-Op. What you do is get a bunch of people together and advertise to a large group of subcribers. Home business magazines for example.

Your group size might be 50 people that pay about 500 dollars a piece and advertise in some of the top business magazines in the country. These are subcribers that are looking to start a home based business. These leads are very tageted leads!

This is a proven off line tactic that will bring many people to you door. Being involved in a Co-Op that goes in the top business magazines will give you a huge amount of credibility. It shows the world that even though you are new you are committed to your business 100%!

Avoiding Mistakes in Permanent Recruitment:The Right Tools

Posted on October 30th, 2008 by Amy Nutt
by Amy Nutt

Making permanent recruiting agency decisions is one of the most important things a manager does. Unfortunately, mistakes are common. Every manager has stories of new hires that turned out to be completely incompetent. But it’s not just these extreme cases we should be concerned about. Every time a company hires a mediocre employee instead of a strong one they are compromising the future of the company. An investment in more reliable permanent recruitment processes can pay off faster – and for longer – than many other investments. A great marketing campaign adds value this year; a great marketing hire can add value for a decade.

Why Companies Make Hiring Mistakes

One of the most common reasons companies make mistakes in permanent recruitment is because they tend to rush a rather ineffective process. When an important position is vacant managers may insist that HR “get me a body” rather than initiating a process that will get them a top performing superstar.

It’s understandable that managers are in a rush. They have targets to reach and spending quality time on recruitment in an already busy day is difficult. Managers just want to have the position filled and get back to normal. But no one who really understands the cost of a poor hire will want to make compromises in quality. A star programmer is not just a little better than a mediocre one; they write code many times faster. A star sales representative doesn’t just deliver slightly better sales than a mediocre one; they win the best accounts from the toughest competitors. Furthermore, the costs of turnovers are typically estimated at six to 12 months of annual salary for professional jobs – so a hiring mistake really hits the bottom line.

Permanent recruitment is made even more difficult by the presence of what we call “counterfeit candidates.” This refers to people who are very good at interviewing but not so hot at working. There are now websites that coach candidates on hiring processes so counterfeit candidates know the questions you are likely to ask and the answers you want to hear. Well rehearsed applicants know how to sell themselves in the interview – and can fool managers into making the wrong choice.

What managers need are recruiting tools that can help predict a candidate’s performance when actually on the job.

Predicting Performance

The best way to predict performance is to look at behaviours, not just qualifications. Managers often ask for candidates with very specific qualifications; for example, an MBA and five years’ finance experience in the retail industry. While it’s true that a certain baseline of technical skills is a requirement, the difference between superstars and average performers, between great fits and poor fits, is driven by behavior.

Many people are familiar with behavioral interviews and these remain a key tool for predicting performance. However, fewer people are aware of the power of testing for successful permanent recruitment.

The solution Drake uses, both internally and with its clients, is called P3. This psychometric instrument looks at the five primary behavioral drivers: Dominance, Extroversion, Patience, Conformity and Conscientiousness. These well established psychological traits are stable, measurable and predictive.

Behavioral testing can provide information on a candidate’s relative strengths, personality, motivation, likely team-role behavior–and many other characteristics–more rapidly and reliably than extensive interviewing.

Implementation

Drake doesn’t recommend using the P3 test in a generic way. The first thing to do is to look at existing high performers and use Drake’s P3 to build an ideal role profile. The ideal role profile captures the behavioral traits and personality for a person to thrive in the job and fit in that particular organization. The P3 is then used to judge applicants against that ideal profile and identify the most promising candidates.

When it comes to permanent recruitment no one tool – even a powerful one like the P3 – is sufficient. Many sources of information including behavioural testing, interviewing, CVs and reference checking should be used. It’s looking at a potential employee from many angles that distinguish truly high performers from counterfeit candidates.

The payoff of better permanent recruitment processes shows up in terms of lower turnover and higher performance. An Hr Consulting, or the in-house finance department, can help HR departments estimate the return on investment of new recruitment methods based on the number of hires, the type of jobs and an assessment of effectiveness of the current process. A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation is often enough to demonstrate that the payoff is substantial.

The P3 solution is a particularly good investment for mid-sized firms because it adds reliability while being easy to implement and deliver, taking pressure off the HR department and saving time for busy managers.

Effective permanent recruitment methods exist; it’s just a matter of putting them to work.

$2000 Commissions – More Money with Mor Vacations

Posted on October 30th, 2008 by Troy Broussard
by Troy Broussard

Tonight Johnny Bolton announced the new pricing for Mor Vacations that will take affect on November 3rd after the pre-launch promotional pricing comes to an end. What was the biggest surprise to all is that the pricing will allow for a staggering $2,000 commission payout per sale! That’s right – $2,000 per sale of a Diamond package once you are Q-Star qualified.

The company made, what I feel, was a very wise decission based on the quality of our product compared to the competition. We have a much higher quality product and it doesn’t make sense to price it the same as Global Resorts Network. New pricing for the top Diamond package will be $3997 cash or $4998 financed at only $498 down and $100 a month for 45 months.

Paying off your membership has never been easier or more flexible. Even if you purchase at the $498 financed route, you can change your mind within 30 days and still get the cash discount price. You also will receive pay off early incentives during the term of the financing wherein you will be eligible for a 20% discount to pay off the balance.

Also announced was that the Emerald package (5 year membership, with hot weeks starting at $249, no guest weeks, 3 travel weeks per year) will be available for $1998 with $1000 commissions paid out to Q-Star qualified affiliates. Emerald packages will not be available with financing.

Here is the payment breakdown. A Diamond package will cost $3997 cash. $3000 will be paid out in commissions. $1000 direct sale commission, $1000 Q-Star qualified commission, and a $1000 roll-up/matching commission. So, if you are not yet a Q-Star (reached after selling just 2 paid in full memberships, 1 of which can be your own) you will receive $1000 and the other $2000 will roll up to two levels – $1000 each. If you are a Q-Star qualified member, you will make $2000 on all of your personal sales and $1000 will roll up. The Emerald works the same way except all of the numbers are halved – three $500 commissions paid out, $500 direct sale commission, $500 Q-Star commission, and a $500 roll-up/matching commission.

Diamond purchases that are financed will be paid as follows: $4998 Total Price – $100 a month for 45 months and $498 down. Commissions will be $100/$100/$100 (using the breakdowns discussed above). Monthly commissions will be $20/$20/$20 (using the breakdowns discussed above). Q-Star Diamond qualified affiliates will earn $200 upon the sale plus $40 a month for a total of $2000. If you’re not a Q-Star, you will make half that much. Roll-up/Matching commissions will be $100 at sale and $20/month.

Web Conferences Can Help With the Economic Slowdown

Posted on October 30th, 2008 by Christopher Blanchet
by Christopher Blanchet

On Thursday October 16th, CNBC’s The Big Idea had a spectacular guest, Jim Cramer, an investment guru who provides great assistance to average, blue-collar individual investors. What Jim made clear throughout the program was that this looming recession will be deep and lengthy. A few callers during the program really stood out, however. Without going into details, Mr. Cramer’s message came across quite clearly: fight with everything to keep your American Dream alive. Quote Stork Solutions provides more than just surface motivation or product recommendations; it provides tangible solutions to help you keep your Dream alive.

One caller from the show noted that this year’s revenue would come in at only 20% of forecast, which means decades of strong sales have been wiped in a single year. For this caller, this has resulted in deep cuts to payroll, heavy layoffs, and reduced expenses. While Quote Stork recommends Reducing expenses in its 3-tranche model, this exercise has heightened importance at times like this when long-term survival is an actual goal for an enterprise.

However, Reducing expenses alone will not keep your business alive. Your business like any other needs one important component at the end of a recession: customers. So how do you pursue business development objectives and reach a wide range of prospects and existing clients when the economy encourages deep reductions?

Through a web conference of course. A lot of small businesses and entrepreneurs might have previously hosted seminars for new and existing customers and may still be putting on such events. These might have taken the shape of an open house, an information night, or other group meeting at some central location (hotel ballrooms are common for larger events).

Web conferences provide great cost savings compared to the traditional seminar. With the right service, you can eliminate the expenses associated with a hotel ballroom rental. And forget about booking those rooms weeks or months in advance. And also forget about losing your deposit should your event fall through. Web conferences cost nothing more than a monthly fee that, annualized, is less than a single room deposit for a traditional seminar.

And what about that gut-wrenching feeling when only half a dozen people attend your seminar? Not only does poor attendance increase the per unit cost of hosting such an event, but it reduces the likelihood of closing a sale — making the whole event a complete a waste of time and money.

The easiest to use web conference provider on the market today is GoToMeeting which allows you to host up to 15 attendees for as little as $39 per month. This provider uses 128-bit encryption making your meetings extremely secure and safe from prying competitor eyes. The way it works is you send attendees an invitation (GoToMeeting integrates Outlook and Instant Messenger) and then the link to your web conference. Attendees sign in and listen to and watch your desk-top presentation on their computer. At your choice, you can allow interaction. GoToMeeting gives you unlimited meetings and can be accessed from any web-enabled computer. For larger groups, GoToWebinar by the same company can host up to 1,500 attendees for a slightly higher price.

Currently, you can enjoy a free trial of GoToMeeting and through ProBusinessReview and QuoteStork.com, you can enjoy an additional $10 off. For web conferences of groups greater than 15, you should consider GoToWebinar by the same provider.
