Mini website with social media

Social media is also very important. When you have a website make sure you also have a Facebook page, Twitter account and a YouTube channel for it. Also make sure you make it easy for visitors to share your website by adding share buttons.

The different kinds of backlinks you’ve created this far can also be shared on social media. Another way is to create little websites and to add a lot of social media to them and also, when the mini websites are finished, spread them on different kinds of social media.

Mini websites

We’ve talked about Web 2.0 properties before. Using these kinds of websites offers you the possibility to build little websites with backlinks to your own website. Instead of just adding one article with 300 to 500 words you can create a website with the following features:

1. Homepage
2. Content page 1 (Information about the subject of your website)
3. Content page 2 (Information about the subject of your website)
4. About Us
5. Testimonials
6. Contact
7. Social Media integration:
• Facebook
• Twitter
• YouTube
• Tumblr
• Email this
• StumbleUpon
• Booksmark this 

When you've finished the mini website you can share it on social media in different ways:

Website links: 

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Tumblr
• StumbleUpon 

Pictures: 

• Instagram 
• Pinterest 

Video:

• Youtube
• Facebook (link)
• Twitter (link)
• Tumblr (link)
• StumbleUpon (link) 

For the mini websites you’ve create you can also use SEO to make them more valuable in the search engines. When there’re more valuable, the backlinks to your URL will be more high quality as well! That’s why this method should really do the trick to get your websites on the first page in the search engines.

Great website to use to build mini websites and social media integration are:

• Blog.com
• Blogger.com
• Wordpress.com
• Jimdo.com
• Webnode.com
• Webs.com

Of course there are a lot more Web 2.0 websites you can use to build mini websites. It takes more work and more time but the quality of the backlink will be very high.

High quality vs low quality backlinks

With my new website on the way I’m trying to find out as much as possible about search engine optimization. The good news is that I think there’re a lot of possibilities to get backlinks to your website. The bad news is that I don’t know what kind of backlinks are the best.

Low quality

There’s a lot of software that you can purchase to create hundreds or thousands of backlinks in one day or spread over numerous days. Now this is an important difference. Search engines find it strange if a website gets one thousand backlinks in one day and I understand that. So if you’re using software like that you have to be careful.

I also read that Google is constantly changing to get better results. There for backlinks that are great one day can be worthless or maybe even dangerous for your website the other. That leads me to the conclusion that you should not focus on one kind of backlinks so that if Google changes it’s algorithms your website won’t drop in the rankings. I think it doesn’t matter if it are high or low quality backlinks but I think it’s important to mix it up. Of course I would go for more high quality than low quality backlinks.

High quality

Backlinks that are in a unique text under a relevant anchor are high quality backlinks. Also links from website that are high in Google already are very high quality. So getting backlinks from websites that are on the first page where you want your website to end up are fantastic. It’s hard to get these often but it’s worth the try.

One of the ways to get backlinks in a text under a relevant anchor is creating web 2.0 properties, wiki’s or blogs. You have to write a unique article and you can create the pages yourself for free. When you create more of these pages that link to each other they call it a linkwheel. In one of my next posts I’ll write about it because this seems to be a powerful method.

Like I said, I think you should focus on high quality links but to mix it up with low quality should be a problem. I think it’s also important to see what Google’s doing and to follow their updates. That way you know what you should or shouldn’t be doing.

My website’s price

Well, I’ve talked to my guys over at Invendy and they gave me a price for building a website in the niche I want. To develop the layout, put it in a Wordpress system, do the proper keyword research and providing the website with articles it would cost me a little under $ 1000,-. That a lot of money but to be honest I was prepared for twice as much. Now the question is will do it? When I started with network marketing I didn’t plan to invest these kinds of money. Actually GDI and Rolution offer you the opportunity to build a business and an income for just $ 10,- or $ 13,- a month. Now it’s not just that anymore.

On the other hand, how am I going to get customers and build my company without a proper website? I’m confused. I want this and I really think I’m on to something here but it’s starting to look like a serious business. If I wanted to invest this kind of money I would never go for a network marketing opportunity.

I asked them how long it would take for me to get to the first page for the keywords ‘Global Domains International’. They told me it was a very competitive niche but within six months it should be possible. Of course getting there wasn’t free as well.

To make a long story short, I asked them to make me an offer for building the website and getting it to the first page in Google for ‘Global Domains International’. They told me they we’re willing to help me with the SEO part and they didn’t necessarily want a profit out of it. Last night I received their offer. For $ 900,- they would build my website including the keyword research and articles and also a free SEO package came with it. I had a cup of coffee and thought about it and an hour ago I called them to say I agree with the price and they could start the process.

I’m excited but also I’m a bit worried/confused if I’m doing the right thing here. Now there’s a lot of money invested and I really want to see that back. Is this the way to become one of the big boys in network marketing? Am I doing the right thing here? Is this what makes the difference between success and failure in MLM? Who knows, for now I’m focusing on learning more about search engine optimization.

Building the website

I think I’m really on to something! I’m learning a lot from the two guys over at Invendy. Now that they’ve explained to me that keyword research is the first really important thing to do I feel like I missed that step when I sign up with Global Domains International. They say it’s impossible to get to the first page in Google when you’ve chosen the wrong name but I disagree. I read on forums like Wickedfire that it is possible and when I search the web I see all kinds of names and urls on the first age.

However the change of getting on that first page is bigger when I have the wright name. With the right name I mean a name that is often used when searching the internet. That way my website will be found a lot of times and that means a lot of visitors.

They also told me that building a website using a standard website builder isn’t the best way to build a website. The reason for that is that Google can’t read the website because of the different frames often used in website building programs/software. They looked at my current website and they confirm it was the case.

After hearing this I had mixed feelings to be honest. I sign with GDI, they offer free website building but in reality it allows you to build a worthless website. They also told me that a website should be running on Wordpress. When I logged into my account last night I saw that GDI provides plugins for Wordpress. I also read that they are providing this because people where requesting this for the same reasons I have at this time.

Maybe it’s time for me to ask how much it would be to create a real and professional website. Or maybe it’s time to quit? No, not yet.
