ConnectContent One-Day Maddness Offer
If you’ve not taken advantage of ConnectContent yet, and you want SEO backlinks targeted to specific terms for your website and website pages, you really need to read this.
What is ConnectContent?
ConnectContent is a search engine community network comprised of individuals who are all looking for the same thing: Relevant links to their sites that contain relevant anchor terms.
It’s a network that exists so that members can tell other members what terms they want linked to their blogs and websites. Nothing more and nothing less.
The Offer
RT Cunningham, the founder of ConnectContent, is pushing hard to take the network to the next level with this offer. The normal way of becoming a member of ConnectContent is by subscribing ($12.00 per month or $120.00 per year).
But, for a very limited time until midnight February 14th (Pacific Time), he’s offering you a one-time deal that may never be repeated. It’s more than one day of madness, but he’s trying to cover all the time zones from California to the Philippines at the same time.
For a single payment of $30.00, you can become a lifetime member without any further obligations. You get the same service as any other member and you can get affiliate referrals the same as any other member.
This is one of the services I use to get relevant back links to my sites and it works! The search engines love the links because they are content driven and relevant to your site.
Here’s How To Take Advantage of the Offer
- Read the introduction pages at ConnectContent, but ignore the payment options. It gives you a good idea of what the network is all about.
- Send a PayPal payment to RT at his special email address set up just for this offer: ninong1@gmail.com. There is a place where you can leave a message. In that box, include your regular email address (not your PayPal email address since he will already have it when he receives the payment, unless your PayPal email address and regular email address is the same) as well as this special coupon code: WFYRVCC01
That’s all there is to it. Once RT receives the notification for payment from PayPal, he will send a message to your regular email address with your login details. Remeber, he’s in the Philippines so give him a chance to get some sleep if you don’t get an answer right away. Also remeber you need to make your Paypal payment to the special email address he listed above for this to work. If you make your payment to any other email address by mistake or due to misinformation by some scammer, use the PayPal dispute service to get your money back as quickly as possible.
You can also confirm this offer by contacting RT Cunningham directly. Just use the contact form at ConnectContent to verify anything and get all your questions answered.
Become-A-Blogger is Closing
Yaro Starak just notified me that he and Gideon Shalwick are closing the doors to new members for their Become A Blogger Premium video training program for a while. They opened the program in December 2008 and had well over 850 members join the program, which was a bit better than expected. They feel their capacity is about 1000 people and since they’re getting close to that number, they’re going to shut the doors so they can ensure the first group of students finish the program about the same time.
In case you don’t know what this program is all about, I invite you to head to the sales page and read the details:
If you haven’t already done so, grab their free report, The Roadmap To Become A Blogger, which has now surpassed 13,000 downloads. It’s a great report and a great introduction to what they are about as blog trainers. If you haven’t got your copy yet and you’re interested in succeeding as a blogger, make sure you grab the Roadmap report (it’s available in PDF and MP3 audio)
Also, be sure to read the second half about the X-Factor strategies, as that has proven to be the key learning lesson from the report, especially for those of you who are already experienced with blogs.
The 10 free Become A Blogger videos are always available if you haven’t set up your WordPress blog yet and have now been viewed by over 118,248 people.
The Deadline Is This Friday
They are closing the doors to the premium program on Friday the 6th of February at just before midnight Eastern USA time, so you’ve got a little over 5 days at the time I’m posting this article to join.
They set up a special blog post inside the membership site to collect feedback from members in order to improve the program, and as a tool to collect testimonials from members. Here are just a couple of the comments they’ve received:

Why Join Become A Blogger Premium
I’m not going to spend too much time selling the program as I think the sales page does a good enough job talking about what is inside the course. If you’re new to blogging, enjoy video training, are the type of person who prefers to learn how to do things yourself (or you can’t afford to hire people) and blogging is a part of your online strategy for 2009, I suggest you join their program. I did, and I’ve been doing this for a long time. There’s always something new to learn.
I was one of the first to join. I prefer to personally go through anything like this before I recommend it to anyone. I have to say this is one of the highest quality blogging training programs I’ve ever been through. The videos are professional, clear and easy to understand and complete. If you can only afford to purchase one blogging training program, this is the one I recommend over all others.
Yaro told me they won’t be re-opening the premium program until the second half of 2009, after the first group of students graduate, so if you don’t join now you may have quite a wait ahead of you.
No Risk
Since this is a Clickbank product their mandatory 60 day refund period applies, so you can join now and try it for two whole months before you have to decide whether to continue or get a refund. The course goes for six months, but you can cancel at any time during that period.
You receive lifetime access to all resources that you pay for, so you shouldn’t feel pressured that the materials will be taken away from you if you don’t keep paying. There are six monthly payments and that’s it.
Deadline: Friday the 6th of February

One Way Back Links, The Best Kind
In an earlier article I mentioned how getting links from other sites to yours is one of the best ways to get noticed by the Search Engines. Of all the types of links you can get, relevant one way back links are by far the best - especially if they’re anchored correctly from content-rich sites. The Search Engines place a high value on this type of link because they are the most difficult to get. I have several methods I use on my Workamping blog to get these types of links. Some work better than others, and I’ll share them with you in this article.
Properly Anchoring You Links
One of the most important points that need to be made here is your back links need to be properly anchored. Search Engines look at the anchor text of a hyperlink to determine how to index the page that’s being linked to. Many people don’t understand this, so they make the common mistake of linking to anchor terms like “click here” or “click this link to …”. These anchor terms don’t mean anything to the search engines and won’t do any good for you when you’re trying to get ranked higher for your keywords. Use your keywords as your anchor text in your link references.
For example, notice how I used the keyword “Workamping” in the very first paragraph of this article. I link that back to my site so that anyone reusing this article will link back to me with the keyword I want to target. A properly formed link for example is something like “Visit my <a href=”http://www.workfromyourrv.com”>Workamping</a> blog for all the latest on working from your RV.” An improperly formed link would look more like, “<a href=”http://www.workfromyourrv.com”>Click here</a> to visit my Workamping blog all about working from your RV.”
I also need to use the word Workamping several times in the article. Keyword density is important as well, but that’s the subject for a different time.
Syndication
If you haven’t set up RSS for your blog yet, do it. Syndicating your blog is a great way to get one way back links. By using RSS to make your blog articles available to others, you can get your blog articles on other sites. That alone won’t necessarily get you the links however. You need to properly anchor your link in the teaser area of your article to achieve that one way back link. The teaser area, as far as RSS is concerned, is the first paragraph. RSS uses only the title and first paragraph as a teaser, then usually includes a link to read the rest of the article. If someone uses RSS and subscribes to your blog to add content to their site, that’s usually the most that will be displayed unless the link is clicked. That’s why it’s important to get your link into the first paragraph.
Article Directories
Article directories are another way to get your content distributed out to other sites for republication. Post your articles to these directories. Many of them allow you to keep the links in the body, so your first paragraph link remains a valuable one way back link. Others don’t allow links in the body, or at least above the fold. In these cases you’ll have to remove the links from the body, but you can still add them into the author bio or signature block at the end. Just remember to anchor them properly as before.
Link Exchanges
I personally don’t do link exchanges any more. They have lost almost all their value as far as the search engines are concerned. The engines are putting more emphasis now on relevancy when valuing links. If the content of the page with the link isn’t relevant to the content of the site being linked to, the link has little to no value. Most link exchanges put links on a links directory page with no value-added content. This isn’t scored high with the search engines.
Link Associations
Link Associations are one of the fastest growing, and best ways to get high quality, relevant, and content-rich one way back links to your site. I use ConnectContent as my primary association. These are groups of site owners that agree to include relevant content one way back links to each other. Because you link to different site than link to you, the links aren’t seen by the search engines as being reciprocal. This is by far the most effective way to get high quality back links at the moment. You usually have to pay a small fee (ConnectContent is currently $12/month) for the service, but the value of the one way back links is well worth it.
