High Quality Backlinks

This is actually a post from Bryan Clark over at Site Flip University. I’m going to put it in my own words but the credit goes to Bryan! Go check out his site!

High Quality Backlinks

Chain LinkGetting high quality backlinks is one of the most important jobs for you as a webmaster to make your website successful. Whether its a website or a blog, you want backlinks, ESPECIALLY if your planning of flipping them. When a potential buyer is looking into your website/blog they are looking for PR(page rank), traffic, backlinks, and revenue. Like Bryan said, you can kill two birds with one stone by building high quality backlinks, which in turn increases your PR.

Both quality and quantity are important when it comes to backlinks. I personally believe that it is better to have 10 HIGH QUALITY BACKLINKS rather than 100 not so great backlinks… But of course it is more difficult to get the high quality backlinks.

Certain sites are “looked up to” by Google when it comes to backlinks. The word is that .edu sites are best when trying to get backlinks, it’s a gamble trying to get one but it will pay off in the long run.

The Good Stuff – High Quality Backlinks

So heres the good stuff to get your backlinks. Go to google and copy and paste this string.

site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “your topic”

site:.edu [finds edu domains]
inurl:blog [ find blogs]
“post a comment” [makes sure we can post to this blogs]
-”comments closed” [does not show these closed blogs]
-”you must be logged in” [does not show blogs where u need to log in]

Great stuff right!

Also if you or a friend are in college use there free webpages to backlink to your website… there you go a .edu backlink!

Thats it for now, I would like to thank Bryan over at SiteFlipU for this great article and best of luck to all you website flippers.

Hosting And Domain Provider – Which To Choose?

Hosting And Domain Provider

World Wide Web PictureSo what’s up with this… Today I was on the Wealthy Affiliate forums and was helping a newbie pick out a domain and hosting provider. He said he was checking out this one domain provider and it was $15.00 for a domain… WHAT! Thats ridiculous… I hope no body is doing this. So I figured I would go over some providers I have used and my experiences with them.

With Website Flipping you will be buying a lot of domain names and will need a reliable hosting provider to keep your Website Flipping business going. There are lots of places out there to choose from, so here are my favorite Hosting And Domain Providers.

GoDaddy:

So when I first got my website up I got both the domain and hosting from, still my favorite place, Godaddy. To this day I have not had any problems with this hosting and domain provider. I still have brain-farts to this day and forget how to do something and I will call them up and they will help me within minutes. Also, there prices are pretty reasonable, they have $0.99 .info domains and $9.99 .com domains, but I have codes to get the .com for $6.99 if anyone is interested. All in all great customer service, and yes, you CAN understand them! If your just starting out AND/OR customer service is a big thing for you, choose Godaddy.

HostGator:

If you ask any one that deals with websites, they will almost always recommend HostGator for your hosting. I mean it’s $10 a month to host unlimited websites, you can’t get much better than that.

1and1:

I have mixed feeling about 1and1. I don’t know if I was just used to GoDaddy but when I signed up with 1and1 I really disliked the layout after you logged in. Another thing, I have called there support and have found it difficult to understand some of the technicians and after asking them a question they always put me on hold, seems like they are looking up the answer.

Others:

I have also used namecheap.com and name.com and they are also really great for domain names, I don’t believe they have hosting but I could be wrong.

Hosting And Domain Provider – Conclusion

Well those are the companies that I have had experience with and I hope this helped some of you out. The best way to start Website Flipping is to get your feet wet. So go find your self a hosting and domain provider and start building a website!

The Best Of Luck,

What Is Website Flipping?

confusedSo what the heck is website flipping you ask? Well, we have all heard of house flipping right? You buy a ugly, beatdown, house that nobody takes care of and you work your magic! Painting, repairing, showing it some TLC and then selling it for some good cash to buyers who love the new look!

So what is website flipping?

- It is the same concept except for with virtual property. Buy a runned down website fix it up, get traffic, add content and sell to someone interested.

- OR, create websites with the intent on flipping them in order for you to make a profit.

Well, as you can see I didn’t go in depth about what website flipping is. A basic understand of how it works is a good start. Of course it’s not as easy as I made it sound but it’s a very entertaining way to make money online.

I think the best way to get started is to go buy a website from eBay for anywhere from $1 to $10 and start working on it. If you know web design and how to get traffic you will have no problem, if not just keep reading and I will teach you everything you need!
