It is such a hassle. Even specialized reciprocal linking sites don't really help all that much. Many of the link requests that I do get are from poker sites that are totally irrelevant to my site's content. Most of the sites that I would like to link to don't respond. Some sites supposedly do respond Cheap Gerrit Cole Jersey , but, when I search their sites, I can't find my link anywhere. It is just so totally and completely frustrating.
Link popularity is a major factor in search engine rankings. How does someone like me, who despises reciprocal linking Cheap Jose Altuve Jersey , go about improving my site's link popularity?
Fortunately for me, I have discovered two ways to do exactly that. They are blogging and submitting articles.
I added the Work At Home Ideas Blog( ) to my website two weeks ago. Search engines love content and blogs are about the easiest way to add fresh content to your site. But, how can a blog improve your site's link popularity? Most blogs feature their own RSS or XML feed. If a visitor to your blog likes your content, then he just might decide to syndicate your content on his website. In the past two weeks Cheap Michael Brantley Jersey , my blog's XML feed has been hit more than 150 times. I expect to get at least some new links out of that.
Writing articles and submitting them to article directories is another great way to get more links pointing back to your site. You can place your own "resource box"(similar to the one at the bottom of this article) at the bottom of your articles. Your resource box wiil contain a link back to your website. The article directory will publish your article and--BAM-you have an instant link back to your website. Submitting articles is a great way to get your site's popularity going like gangbusters.
Here are some outstanding article directories that you should be submitting to: IdeaMarketers -- EzineArticles -- GoArticles -- ISnare -- Internet Home Business Articles-- is a little tip for your article submissions. Many article directories allow you to enter HTML code in your articles. This gives you the ability to control the anchor text of your site's link in the resource box of your article. The anchor text of your link serve as keywords for the search engines. Use a keyword research tool, such as Good Keywords( ), to vary your anchor text from week to week. By doing this, you will rapidly build up a number of keywords for your site.
By using your blog's RSS or XML feed and submitting articles Cheap Alex Bregman Jersey , you can increase the link poularity of your website without all of the hassles of reciprocal linking.

Money is the only thing that motivates a salesperson, right? Well, maybe it is time to give your sales staff a little more credit.
If you are like most sales managers, you were probably promoted to your current position because you were a great salesperson. But can you remember what motivated you to work so hard? Was it for the hope of advancement? Was it your loyal determination to help the company succeed? Or was it your fiery Cheap Carlos Correa Jersey , competitive spirit that made you want to outshine your colleagues?
Understanding your sales staff requires that you remember your own experiences as a salesperson and the roots that got you where you are today. Use your past incentives to motivate your salespeople, but also recognize that everyone is different and will respond differently to the same incentive.
Like your customers, your staff is made up of a variety of personalities, with unique factors that influence how and why they make a sale. Each take something a little bit different to really get their "A game" out of them. Understanding these differences will help you to create a diverse game plan that will motivate all your sales people by sparking each individual's desire to succeed.
It is best if you cover multiple motivational styles in all that you do. With salespeople you will find that many are motivated by recognition Cheap Nolan Ryan Jersey , achievement or just plain competitiveness. It is best that, in addition to money, you provide other outlets to motivate your staff. These alternatives may be more effective than just monetary incentives.
Think about it. When a salesperson receives money as a reward, where does that money go? Typically the money goes into a checking account and is used to pay bills. That is not memorable at all.
When you supplement your compensatory form of motivation with something a little less traditional Cheap Craig Biggio Jersey , your salespeople will remember that far longer than any monetary reward. They will remember it longer because it will mean more to them; it is more important. After all, which is more memorable: receiving a paycheck, or being awarded with a prize or special recognition?
The extra level of importance and sentimental worth that is placed on these supplemental forms of motivation is the key to the effectiveness of your salespeople.
So the next time you sit down to try to find a better way to motivate your sales staff, get a little creative! Run a contest to spark their competitive spirit Cheap Jeff Bagwell Jersey , or help them see their individual efforts as an important part of the company's larger goal. Whatever you do, make it big and make sure everyone has something to gain from it. Post these goals and give them a lot of attention. Your staff will draw from your excitement and will easily find the motivation to gain the incentive and to make that sale.
