Linked and Loaded

The best way to build traffic to your website and generate ROI is to build outside links to your site. There are two advantages of inbound links: 1) The search engines often use the number of links as a proxy for site popularity and 2) links found on other websites might attract humans who click on those links and land on your site.

Market Research: How to Tell What Your Prospects Want

So, how do you find out what your prospective customers want? How do you find the terms they use?

What is a Trackback?

Essentially, trackbacks are notifications from one website to another that it’s been linked to. This action is sometimes referred to as a trackback ping.
Inbound links to your blog usually help increase your search engine rankings. Those links are more valuable depending on a number of criteria, including those coming from a related niche, a site with high page rank and good keywords being used in the anchor text.
