I did some looking around and I found black hat seo. I’ve read a couple of articles now and it’s brought some light to my eyes. For example, there are ways that you don’t have to write your own content, or maybe I can create my own sites to create links for me.

The latest thing I’ve discovered are content databases. The concept is that you can buy or find a database or database table that contains some simple information in it, like artist songs. The idea is you take this table of information and create a simple website that creates hundreds or thousands of pages. In my first attempt, I have a website with over 19,000 pages. It took me a while (week at night) to do the first one, and I’m almost complete. Then on each page, put a link or two to your pages. If you are able to get a listing of all the pages on your other sites, you can essentially put an entire sitemap of links for several sites onto this site. In addition, you can point to your affiliate sites. Heck, I even put those sitemaps on the pages. So, now, I have links to pages that point to my affiliate programs. And, in addition, have links that point to sites, that then point to my affiliate program sites.

It’s really pretty cool. I haven’t quite mastered it yet, but I’m learning. I’ll fill you in on more as it arises.

In order to get it running on WordPress, I had to install the OnlyWire Multi Autosubmitter. Then, I had to add a link to OnlyWire to my site. Have OnlyWire verify it and I was up and running. Granted, you don’t have to do this if you want the paid version. I can stand one more link for free services.

One good thing about OnlyWire is that I was alerted to several other feed networks I haven’t been using. So, a lot of my time with OnlyWire was actually signing up for these other services.

Also, in case you’ve been following my most recent posts, the changes made here have produced some good results. Granted, this isn’t the most popular site on the internet, but here are some results after one week of changes.

Use Header tags

Structure your page with different sections. For example use the h1, h2, h3 tags. This tells search engines a little bit more about your page and what are the important aspects of your page. So, add these before different sections.

Use descriptive links

Whenever you’re creating a link somewhere, don’t have the hyperlink text say “Click here”. Instead, make it state what the link is about. It may seem hard at first. At least it is for me, so I’ll make 2. In the sentence I’m writing, I’ll describe where the link will take them (make that a hyperlink) and then make a click here hyperlink. For example, If you want to know more about part time webmasters, click here.

Get the point across in the first 2 sentences

Most people won’t read beyond the first 2 sentences. So, get the point across and capture their attention. If the person is interested, they’ll read on or click somewhere else. As a matter of fact, that’s a pretty good concept. If someone isn’t interested immediately, give them something else to click on… hmm that should drum up some ideas.

Keep the minimum word count to at least 250

A lot of people say to keep it even longer. But, sometimes, I just don’t feel like writing an entire document and just want to send out a tip. But, the more text you have the better off you are.

One thing I did do was submit the RSS feed to YouSayToo. Guess what, the very next day, a link to my site was on page 1 with the company name. So, do I recommend them, uhh. yes.

Hopefully, you’re familiar with HTML. If not, don’t worry. The main things to remember when creating this email are as follows:

• Place your image on the internet somewhere. You’ll have to reference it in the HTML of your email. You don’t want to try and put the image in the actual email. So, the src will look something like this: src=”http://www.parttimewebmaster.com”
• Within the <img /> tag you will have to place the usemap attribute. For example, usemap=”mymap”
• You’ll of course have to create the map. If you’re doing this by hand, you may want to get out a piece of paper. Do a fake drawing of your image and start drawing out where the areas will be. Otherwise, it is a little hard to do when writing the HTML.

So, what do I do. I’d recommend creating an html/web page on your desktop of the email. Add the image map, image and all of the text of your email. Construct the page, then test it in a browser.

If possible, I’d use some type of web page creation software that will make all of this easier. Dreamweaver, FrontPage, etc. It will save you a lot of time.

If you don’t have software, you can always do it on your own. There’s some free software here: http://download.cnet.com/Imagemap-Applet-Builder/3000-10247_4-8401917.html?tag=lst-4-3

Here’s an example:
If you had a square image with a width an height of 400, here’s a simple example of what the html code will look like divided into 4 squares:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<!– HERE’S MY MAP –>
<map name=”mymap”>
<area shape=”rect” coords=”0,0,200,200″ alt=”top left” href=”http://dotnetprogramming.blospot.com/” />
<area shape=”rect” coords=”200,0,400,200″ alt=”top right
href=”http://bvcommerce.blogspot.com/” />
<area shape=”rect” coords=”0,200,200,400″ alt=”bottom left”
