Frankly it is easy to make your WordPress Theme SEO friendly, yes it needs efforts, but not big efforts, it takes only few modifications. There are several areas you need to tweak to make Google understands which part is important and which is less important thus our content will be properly ranked and as the result we get better ranking for your targeted keyword.

Ok here is the steps:

1. Make sure you give <h1> to wrap your blog title! Just like mine, here is the example:

<h1>SEO Blog And Internet</h1>

And the code looks generally like this one:

<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

2. Make sure your post and page title is wrapped with <h1> or <h2> tag, pick one that fits with the overall of your design because each of the tag has its own size, but <h2> will be better for post title on the homepage, considering on that place, there are several posts listed, and then use <h1> to wrap post title in Single Page (Single.php)

3. Make sure each of your post and page title has the name of post/page title like this:

If your title is not like on the image, then open your index.php and single.php replace the existing title code with the following code:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

4. Why not giving each of your post or page a unique description and keyword? I have written tutorial to do so in: SEO Your WordPress Description and Keyword.

5. It is better to place your sidebar on the right side just like mine, so your page will be on the upper side of the sidebar.

6. Use <h3> to wrap your widget title, for example <h3>Popular Post</h3>

7. This one is just an additional factor: Make sure the code is Valid HTML

Actually, SEO is all about backlinks and on page optimizations like having SEO Optimized Theme is an additional force to arm your blog to compete with other blogs on Search Engine, if it is necessary enough why not practicing the above steps? You can speed up your WordPress theme loading time too to complete the steps, Site Speed is scheduled to be a factor to determine blog or site ranking on Google on 2010, you better don’t miss this one, I will write about how to speed up your WordPress blog in the future just wait!

Well c YA!

You can remove SEO plugins that are designed to optimize your meta description, keyword and to have canonical url feature to avoids duplicate content, the plugins that work that ways are All In One SEO Pack and Platinum SEO Pack, but we can have the same abilities offered by those plugins even without using them and remove them from your plugin storage. By replacing their roles with PHP codes, why you want to do that? Well, WordPress will be working much better if it’s using less plugin

Let see, we all know if using All In One SEO Pack as the result each of our page will have a unique description and keywords, they will help Google to identify our page and what is all about.

How if we use PHP code to replace their role? That sounds better

1. Ok now to have unique description you need to add the following PHP code inside Header.php (below title tag: <title> </title>)

<meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>" />

Note: the above code will automatically fetch the lines within the Excerpt to use as description, thus you need to write description in the excerpt box:

But if there’s no lines or description in the Excerpt, then there is no description, so if you want the code to fetch description whether there is description inside excerpt or not, replace:

<?php the_content(); ?>

With the following:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

The code will grab description from the first paragraph of yours even there is nothing inside your excerpt box

2. Now about unique keyword, what we need is “Tag” and turn it into keywords tag, well to have it, add the following code inside your Function.php:

function csv_tags() {
$posttags = get_the_tags();
foreach((array)$posttags as $tag) {
$csv_tags .= $tag->name . ',';
}
echo '<meta name="keywords" content="'.$csv_tags.'" />';
}


And then to call the keywords, add this code (put it below description tag), now:

<?php csv_tags(); ?>

So the whole codes will look like this:

<?php if (is_single() || is_page() ) : if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt_rss(); $post_desc_length = 20; ?>" />
<?php csv_tags(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; elseif(is_home()) : ?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Keyword1, Keyword2, Keyword3" />
<?php endif; ?>

So each of your page will have unique description and keyword now

3. Now about Canonical Url, just upgrade to WordPress 2.9, then you will have canonical url by default!

YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine now. With many hundreds of videos being posted on YouTube every day, there is a really huge potential for search engine marketers there. In terms of search engine optimization, every comment posted on YouTube has the potential to ensure that the person who posted the comment finds himself on the top of search engines like Google.

Much like Microsoft’s deal with Twitter and Facebook for real-time search results, YouTube will also offer real time search for comments posted by people on the site.

You will be able to read the full comment on search result pages that get updated continuously. Another feature of this real time search is ‘trending topics’ that will show the hottest and most popular topics on YouTube at that time.

Aptly named Comments Search, this real time search is an excellent way to market your website and reach a global audience. Not only can you build a steady fan base but you will also be able to post comments on other people’s videos and make your way on the search page.

Comment Search is another method to explore and establish and online reputation of your business. Being the biggest online video website in the world, YouTube comments are definitely something brands like you wouldn’t like to ignore. Especially when posting comments allows you to write comments that contain your keywords making for good Search Engine Optimization. For people who subscribe to RSS feeds, getting to know the latest comments, hottest topics of discussion, and most popular videos is now based on real time data.

While many of you may believe that YouTube comments are not worth reading, but being able to use them to leverage your business can’t be a bad idea. A website marketing tool that has immense potential, YouTube comments make a lot of business and branding sense. It has very real potential and one that businesses looking to establish their dominance over the Internet can’t ignore at all.

Comment Search has been available for some time now. Though it is still unclear for how long it will be available. You can try to use this feature here:

www.youtube.com/comment_search.

Better still, start posting your short business video clips on YouTube if you already haven’t as well as start writing comments on videos that you find interesting and that are similar to your business in nature.

Make sure you add a relevant keyword when writing a comment and write in an interesting and witty manner so that people find your comment interesting. It’s important to understand that writing comments on YouTube videos isn’t spam. It is vaguely similar to viral marketing. It is about engaging with other members of the site on relevant topics and trying to interest them with your ideas and thoughts so that they become a part of your world.

Comment Search offers those people who are seriously monitoring their fan base and reputations to increase the follower base more and in a real time manner that hasn’t been explored before in the online world.

Link building is 90% of the battle when succeeding in the search engines and properly succeeding at search engine optimization. In this article, we are going to break down some innovative techniques that other top SEO’s use to find and obtain quality links to their website. Let’s get right down to it!

A: Use Google Alerts – You can use Google Alerts to find certain phrases that are highly relevant to your website. For example, if you are a company that offers solar panels, you can set up Google alerts to tell you whenever their are websites listing companies that offer solar panels.

For example, you could create an alert for phrases like “Solar panel companies”; “solar panel providers”; “solar panels”; “solar providers”; “solar links”, etc. This will allow you to see what people are talking about in your industry and request links or to contribute information to active and relevant websites.

B: Find Top Commentators or Top Commentator widgets on relevant websites… Start reading the blog and make a daily post. As long as the widget isn’t a “NoFollow” widget, you can get some great links from the home page of the blog. Not bad, not bad at all!

C: Get links that produce traffic. Surprisingly, websites that produce traffic often times are trusted a lot more by the search engines as well, so chances are the link will be higher in quality.

D: If your industry is a popular industry that has a lot of organizations involved that talk about or support your industry, you can always find websites looking for sponsors. Often times popular organizations link value can be incredibly high and trusted.

E: If you are an ethical company, get involved in the Better Business Bureau and they will actually provide a link to your website – and this will likely increase sales as well since you will be seen as a reliable company.

F: You can offer to guest post quality information on relevant and popular blogs in exchange for a link back to your website. These links often times carry a large amount of weight and value.

G: Get involved in popular and relevant forums and always place a link in your signature to your website.

H: Look at the links pointing to your competition’s website. For example, use Yahoo and search for inlinks:www.website.com

I: Do a simple search for company lists. For example, if you are a dentist in Phoenix Arizona, search Google for terms like Phoenix Dentists, List of Phoenix Dentists, Phoenix Oral Surgeons, etc. You can also repeat the search for surrounding cities and you will find some websites that are authoritative directories.

Be creative, there are hundreds of ways to get quality links and they are often times easier than you think. You don’t need thousands of links to succeed. Work on getting one quality link per day and you will be beating your competition in no time.

This post is provided by Dataflurry search engine optimization and website marketing services. Dataflurry has a special emphasis on Law Firm marketing for lawyers and attorneys.

We have been working as a search engine optimization firm for around 1 year now; however I have worked in the search engine optimization field for over 12 years and have optimized for ancient search engines like Alta Vista, Excite, ASK Jeeves, MSN, Yahoo, Google and others. This has given my company an excellent grasp on what the search engines like to see as well as what to be careful of.

To rank high in the search engines, you need to do 2 things properly. You need to get your website in order and properly optimized. Then you need to show the search engines that your search friendly website is credible by building it’s authority through inbound links from other websites.

As a search engine optimization firm, we will occasionally outsource certain aspects of our operations to stay competitive, and I am going to give you some insight in to how you can do the same (even to a further extent if you would like).

Let’s start with your fresh website that has not yet been optimized and show you the most effective steps to take in order to improve your rankings cost effectively and effectively. Working smarter instead of harder is a huge benefit when it comes to search engine optimization and marketing; this can propel you forward at an extremely speedy pace compared to doing it all on your own.

First off, Once you have your website online – we recommend that you outsource one aspect of your SEO campaign to an organic SEO consulting firm. I recommend that every business with a website obtain a certain amount of consulting from a respected firm to help ensure that your website is properly optimized to rank properly. Search engine optimization firms make most of their money performing link building on a monthly basis, so simple advice can be a cost effective way to utilize a search engine optimization firm. If your website is optimized properly, you will be able to pinpoint that problems are originating with your link building instead of your website design. Consulting will allow you to ask questions while you are launching your search engine optimization campaign, so that you are as efficient as possible.

Quality SEO consulting usually ranges from $80 per hour to several hundred dollars per hour (but you can accomplish a lot in 2-3 hours). I simply recommend that you hire someone that has over 5 years of on-site optimization experience so that they can save you time and money by doing things right the first time.

After you complete your on site optimization for your website, you are ready to build your websites authority through link building so that you can rank in Google, Yahoo & Bing (as well as others with similar algorithms). Link building is necessary because the search engines treat links to your website like a vote of trust. Once you have enough votes for your website from high authority websites, you are going to begin beating your competition. I would recommend that you outsource certain aspects of your link building, however you should always be overseeing everything to ensure that you only obtain quality links from websites with authority. If a website doesn’t seem like a valuable website you would find useful, you should not probably not obtain a link from it.

One high quality link is often times more valuable than 100 low quality links. Low quality links can actually have an adverse affect on your rankings and penalize your website, so you need to stay away from sites that seem to have no value or websites that aren’t active. I have seen website owners obtain some amazing inbound links tied in with hundreds or thousands of low quality ineffective links, and then Google really penalized them and it took a long time to get back to where they were before. Don’t obtain links from websites that are only link farms and offer no relevant or useful information.

We obtain links in a wide variety of methods, and the major methods are outlined below:

A: Article and News distribution to highly relevant and authoritative websites and blogs.
B: Press release distribution through companies like Market Wire, PRWeb, PRLog and others.
C: Hunting down your competitions most powerful links.
D: Obtaining local listings in websites like Yahoo!, Google, MSN (Bing), Merchant Circle, SuperPages, Yelp and other high authority websites.
E: Get involved in popular forums that are relevant to your business niche and include a link to your website.
F: Create high quality information and resources on your website that will naturally attract links from other website owners and web users.
G: Update your website bi-weekly in order to always show the search engine spider that your website is constantly evolving.

The search engines know that a truly valuable website will be talked about on blogs, forums, link pages, articles, press releases, EDU websites and more. This is a type of link mesh that the search engines like to see. Now, let’s examine all of the above ways to obtain links and determine how we can outsource different aspects of link building.

Article & News Distribution
First off, when you are writing and distributing news and articles, you first need to have content written. You can hire ghost writers to write content on your behalf. This will save a large amount of time, and often times you can have an article written for $8-$30 a piece (depending on the quality) – You just need to find a quality writer to create the information. After the content is written you can submit it to popular article websites like Ezine Articles, ArticlesBase, American Chronicle, Buzzle, Google Knol and other popular and quality article websites. Something that works even better is submitting your articles to popular blogs or websites that are relevant to your industry. We recommend changing articles titles and content each time you submit it to a new website (if you want to submit to several locations). If you don’t change the content, Google’s guidelines state that you should link to the original article post if you post duplicate content on the web; which we recommend you do if you aren’t changing the article content.

Press Release Distribution
Secondly, When submitting a press release we recommend that you hire a ghost writer to create the content or else prepare it yourself (whatever you prefer). After you have the press release written, you should submit it to popular press release distribution websites. This will help you obtain some high authority links that are often times syndicated to a large numbers of other quality websites which gives you more link value! You can also submit your press release to free press release distribution websites like PRlog as well that also carry a large amount of link value.

Some other press release distribution websites we would recommend are PRWeb, MarketWire, PR.Com and PR News Wire. Each time a press release is submitted, it is best to slightly re-write the content to ensure you obtain maximum link value from each press release distributed.

Seeking Out Your Competitor’s Links
Third, you can find out what links are helping your competition by simply pulling up their website in Yahoo!. You go to Yahoo.com and type in the following query including your competitions url:

link:webaddresshere.com

Then once you hit submit, you will be able to see all the links pointing to their website (by clicking on inlinks). Yahoo! will categorize the links for you and show the most powerful links first and lower authority links further down in the results. This makes the link building process very easy for you because you can see the top links pointing to main competitors websites. If you obtain links from the top 20 sites in your industry, you will probably be able to quickly rank and beat your competition online. If you wanted to outsource all or part of this link building tactic; You can save time by hiring a personal assistant with link building experience to find the best links pointing to your top competition and report back to you. Also, if you trust a link builder; you can have them obtain the links on your behalf (Make sure they report back to you in order to maintain quality standards).

Local Authority Directories
Fourth, we need to obtain listings from local websites and popular directories. Make sure to always include your website address (link) whenever you create a listing online or submit content online. These websites are very trusted by the search engines, so there is a large amount of value whenever you obtain a link anywhere on one of these websites.

There is a company out there called Universal Business Listing that will do a lot of the work for you by creating your listing on a large number of high authority websites for a minimal fee. Most companies charge $40 per month for this service; Universal Business Listing has a minimal annual fee to maintain these listings. Their website is http://www.universalbusinesslisting.org – UBL will automatically provide you local listings on a large number of powerful directories & data feeds including:

Get Involved In Online Communication
Fifth, you need to have one of your employees, contractors or yourself talk online in popular forums and bulletin boards that are related to your business. Whenever they talk online they should include a link in their signature pointing to your website when talking online. This will be beneficial to boost link popularity as well as company branding and relationships. There is no better way that a business can be marketed than word of mouth marketing (and that’s coming from an SEO!). Make sure you hire someone to talk online for you – ensuring that you choose someone that will represent your company properly while protecting your image.

Always attempt to leave your link online whenever possible. For example, if your Human Resources department is posting a job online, make sure they link back to your company website if possible.

One Last Tip To Obtain Long Term Success
One of the best long term link building tactics is to create compelling free information, tutorials, videos and or tools that will attract links to your website without manually hunting them down. Natural links are usually the best links that you can obtain, because the search engines are pretty good at deciphering between organic and manipulated links. This should be a long term tactic to improve website traffic and rankings without constantly obtaining new links to your website.

I recommend that you show the search engines that your website is active and full of helpful information by updating your website bi-weekly (at least). This will show the search engines that you are not a website that is simply dying off from old age. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this would be to create a blog located on your website itself using an application such as WordPress. Obviously you can outsource this aspect of ongoing maintenance by hiring a ghost writer to create the information for your website.

Always focus on deploying quality information on the internet, this will help internet surfers socially bookmark your content and spread information about your website for you.

It’s a good to find that both search engines which are Google and the newest one, Bing discussed give special attentions to blogger to rank better in their search engines, both of them recommend site architecture that every blog should build to get best position in search result page. Generally the both of them recommend the same advices, which are summed in 4 areas by Webpronews.

1. Check that your robots.txt file has the correct status code and isn’t returning an error
2. Keep in mind some best practices when moving to a new site and the new “Change of address” feature recently added to Webmaster Tools.
3. Review the settings of the robots.txt file to make sure no pages — particularly those rewritten and/or dynamic — are blocked inappropriately.
4. Make good use of the rel=”canonical” attribute to reduce the indexing of duplicate content on your domain.

If you are looking to indulge into article marketing on the Internet then you should know that it is an effective way to generate publicity of your product and your business. Online article marketing involves search engine optimization and copywriting of content.

Therefore, before starting out you should know all that there is to know about article marketing on the Internet. The first thing that you should be clear about is what you want to gain from article writing. Are you interested in promoting others’ businesses and products and their websites or do you want to do the same for yourself; because the two agendas need to be approached in very different ways. If you are writing articles for another website to advertise their product then you don’t need to use your real name to promote the issue.

But if you are marketing your own product or business then using your own name instead of a pseudonym can be of valuable consequence to the advertisement.

However, you need to keep in mind that whatever you do it is virtually impossible to make any changes to articles that have already been posted once, since there will be numerous copies of it posted on various other websites. In order to retain your credibility it is always advisable to stick to your area of specialization when choosing subjects to write articles on. If you indulge in a variety of subjects you fail to make a niche for yourself. Therefore, there will be a lack of optimization of your website through search engines if you don’t stick to relevant subjects.

You don’t need to be an expert in the language, grammatically or literarily, in order to be successful in article marketing. Although posting your articles on many article directories on various sites does provide you with a higher chance of circulation which in the long run benefits you, you should be a little selective before posting them anywhere you get a chance to do so.

Websites that have high rankings and good search engine optimizations should be your priority. Also, try not to post the same article that you have used for marketing your website. This might result in penalty of your website by search engines.

Keep in mind the length of the article that you will be writing. Don’t push yourself to write a long one if it is not necessary. Shorter articles with relevant information can go a long way too. Also keep in mind your potential to write on a specific subject.

You may be able to write a large number of articles on entertainment, but have a limited creativity for articles on fine art. Therefore, don’t push yourself to write on something you are not comfortable with. Most of the time they will turn out poorly and wont be published by anyone.

Also remember that your article will be read by a human being. Therefore, in your quest to include the perfect keywords into your article for maximum search engine optimization don’t end up making your article a shoddy one.

How To Make Use Of Article Marketing Strategies:

If you have an online business then you must have heard about best affiliate marketing programs. For those who don’t know what it is, affiliate marketing simply means promoting other people’s goods or services with the help of your website. This is done by posting the affiliate links of the merchant sites on your website and hoping that, those visitors who come by to explore your website, click on these links that transports them to the merchant’s home page. If they make final purchases of goods or services from these sellers, you get to keep a commission on the cost.

But how to attract so much web traffic?

One of the best ways of doing this is by article marketing. And what exactly is article marketing? Well, you write articles about the goods that you are promoting; sprinkle them with a handful of backlinks and submit them with various article directories. In case the directory does not approve of backlinks, you can simply provide your website address.

These directories put up your article/articles, as search engine results when someone looks up the requisite keywords. If the web traffic finds your article to be useful and interesting, they travel straight back to your website and from there, to the merchant sites. It is not only an easy way of promoting your affiliate links, it also a relatively cheap one. As such knowing more about article marketing and the various types of articles is indispensable if you want to seriously take up affiliate marketing.

This article is an earnest attempt to help you in this venture. A common problem that writers face when they need to write a lot of pieces is how to come up with newer and fresher content. The best way is to brainstorm and come up with novel ideas. But since that is an extremely backbreaking exercise, here are some simple tips that might help you decide the subject of your cogitation, with a lot less effort.

To start with, you need to decide what type of an article you would want to write.

Broadly there are four categories:

· The List Article:
The most common type of article found on the internet it is the easiest to write as well. All it needs is putting together a bunch of associated information. Examples of such type of articles can be -
· “5 home care tips for glowing skin”
· “10 ways of reducing your carbon footprint”
· “100 places you need to visit in your lifetime” etc.

These types of articles have three essential parts -
1. an introduction
2. Short paragraphs of minimum 2 lines describing the various objects that
your article addresses.
3. A short conclusion.
· The “How to” Article:

This is the most interesting type of article as it describes how to make something new. Everyone likes to experiment once in a while, don’t they?

These kinds of articles are generally of the form -
1. “How to rekindle the romance in your marriage”
2. “How to make paella at home”
3. “How to prolong the life of your desktop computer”etc.

· The Review Article:
What would you do if you were to buy a new moisturiser launched by a renowned cosmetics brand? There are some who will rush to buy it simply because of the brand; but most would want a second opinion, a kind of a review. And people are looking for alternative opinions all the time. As such the widespread popularity of review articles does not come as a surprise.

The essential issues that need to be touched upon by review articles are:
1. The USP (unique selling point) of the product. What results does it promise.
2. How much of that claim does it fulfil.
3. Are the benefits worth the cost; and if so, who can be the prospective buyers to benefit from this. Make sure that whatever way you choose for writing review articles you adhere to these three guidelines.

· The Round Up Article:
This is also a simple kind of article writing. All you need to do is to consult various sources or experts and provide an overview of a situation. This is kind of a general deduction made on the basis of certain given parameters – like general remarks, facts, arguments and judgments. It’s kind of a rounding up piece.

For example:

Now that you know about the various types of articles, you can channel your creativity in a proper course. Diversify your literary skills in exploring issues that are not exactly mundane or commonplace. Best of luck!

Well Tukang Nggame is finished right at the time went to 00:00 WIB about 2 hours before I write this post, and 3 winners are decided as they are able to place their blog at 1st, 2nd, 3rd position on Google search result page, congratulation guys, and here are their names:

1. http://tukangnggame.com/
2. http://belajarseo.com/bebas/tukang-nggame-seo-contest.php
3. http://newreil.com/tukang-nggame/

And I am only able to place my page on 5th position (according my own browser) for less than 5 days left before contest ended up, which was at 00:00WIB and it’s awesome achievement for me, although I failed to be number 1 but to be on 5th for less than 5 days, it’s satisfying enough. And I am very please with this blog’s ability in skyrocketing position.

But even though I succeed to be on 1st, still I won’t be counted as champion since I am not registered yet, it’s because Yudishtira site was Bandwidth Limited Execeed for 5 days, and backed online tonight. Sigh I should be earlier next time.

Well congratulation for all the winners, and the ones who are not lucky enough this time, don’t worry there are more SEO Contests in the future! And see you in the next post.

Article marketing is an effective way to enhance the advertisement of your business. However, unless you use excellent keywords to optimize your website you will not be able to generate enough traffic to it to earn profits on it. Therefore, it is important to do extensive research on keywords to find out which one is the best for your website.

In order to maximize the search engine optimization (SEO) of your articles you need to keep track of the traffic ranking of different keywords that you can use to optimize your article on the Internet. You can research the data on a monthly basis. You also need to keep track of the level of competition that each of these words have for you. Use Microsoft Word or Excel to record these findings instead of relying on your memory for them, just to be sure.

If you are starting a brand new business then think of all the relevant words that can be used to generate higher traffic to your website. Note them down as soon as you think of them. If your business is about parcel delivery then hit the search button on this. You will be presented with a host of keywords that have direct relevance to your business. Along with this list you will be presented with the monthly search hits on these words so that you can compare which one is more popular than the other. You can also put in additional words that you have come up with and see the relevance quotient of it to your business.

Now in order to estimate the level of competition of your keywords you need to type them in and search them out. If the main term, like “Parcel Delivery” has a competition higher than 6, 00,000 then try something like “next day Parcel Delivery”. This might generate a competition as low as 2,500. If this bears direct relevance to your business and the article that you are writing then use it as the keyword. This will cut down on your competition and come up as one of the top search hits on a search engine. Therefore write for human, designs for search engines.

Repeat the same process for every keyword you think is relevant enough to be included in you article marketing strategy and note down the details of it on your MS documents. Compare and consider the best options before using them.

If you don’t want to come up with keywords yourself, then you can use free online tools that provide you with suggestions of relevant keywords that you can use to optimize your website on the search engine. You can use free programs for this instead of buying software for this purpose. After having a list of such suggested keywords you should run a competition search on them on the Internet to be aware of the competition level of those words for you. Accordingly you can use them in your article marketing strategy to maximize your search engine optimization.

This one a short tips to Increase traffic to your site.

The more web sites, blogs etc. you got, the better your chances of linking. Let’s say you have a decent site and a good blog, now you can get two links from the same directory you are submitting to. This way you have more leverage, furthermore you can link to yourself as well. Please note that Google shouldn’t be aware of the fact that you are linking to your own sites if you don’t want to lose link power.

If Google knows that your sites are related, your links will count less. Therefore you shouldn’t use Adsense on all of your sites. Google can see your Adsense ID and therefore they’ll know who owns the site. Try to separate your sites into 3 categories (if your sites apply for them)

• Bronze → Very low quality, slightly spammy, spun articles, PLR content,
• Silver → good quality content, containing secondary affiliate programs,
  secondary revenue streams
• Gold → High quality content, supreme quality site, your main money
  making sites

Now this is how you can build your network of links:

• Your bronze sites can link to your other bronze sites, they can also link to your silver sites and gold sites.
• Your silver sites can link to other silver sites and they can link to your gold sites as well.
• Your gold sites can link to your other gold sites.

Never link downwards from your gold/silver sites to your bronze sites. Always link “up” in the ranking. Bronze to Bronze/Silver/Gold, Silver to Silver/Gold and Gold to Gold.

Building our network we want to use third party hosted sites like Blogger (Blogspot) Squidoo, Hub pages and WordPress.org. I consider them silver sites, that’s why we want to build good links to those pages.

We want to use these silver sites to point/link to our gold sites, which we host ourselves. That’s how you start building a network using your own sites and sites like Squidoo.
