Link Building Course – Part Three, Methods of Link Building
Methods of Attaining Backlinks
Well now you know what makes a good link, so let’s go over the methods available for getting links to your site that you have been instructed to promote. There are many, and each comes with its own positive and negative attributes. Generally speaking, the more links you get to the sites you are promoting, and the higher the quality of the links, the
more benefit to you.
[] Homepage/Subpage Links: A link featured on a website: The best way of getting this type of link is email submission. It is extremely hard to get a website to give you a link without getting something in return….such as money or a reciprocal or three-way link.
mentioned above.
[] Articles: This option is only available to Advanced linkbuilders. It is basically writing a “fresh” chunk of content on a topic that relates to the site you are trying to promote. The article is between 250-500 words long and is submitted to 1 or more article syndicated websites
[] Link Directories: This type of link is obtained by searching for a relevant “link directory” browsing the topics and submitting the link of the site you are promoting for approval. This typically takes 3 days to 3 months to actually get the link accepted and displayed. It is also one of the easiest types of link building. You don’t get any points if your submission is rejected, so power of numbers is the way to make sure you make money. The point system is outlined below.
[] Forums: Find a forum related to the topic of the website you are promoting. Sign up and edit your signature in your profile. Edit it to any of the sites you wish to promote. (You can put up to 4 links in your signature) Now you go back to the forum and post a question or answer some one else’s question. When you post your signature will create a link. You can also place a link directly in your context.
[] Misc:
-MSN Myspace
-Newsgroups
-Others
[] Blogs:
[] Guestbooks:
–
Things to remember: Not every site will give you a link, often sites are a waste of time, it will take some time and experience to become efficient, but it is important to remember that the power of numbers is on your side.
Lets set up an example:
You are given a list of 10 websites to promote: You are given a list of everything you need except page urls. You should now go visit each of the websites you were instructed to promote and gather 20 deep-page urls and start a list for yourself. Beside each url you should come up with around 5 anchor texts or titles to use. This shouldn’t take you more than a hour. Now you have a list of 200 pages you need to link to, and enough anchor texts to link to each page 5 times. So basically you have 10 000 links. This is more than enough to get you started. You now break up each group of urls into sites and than further group them into general categories. So for instance you had a hair removal site, a acne site, a air purifier site and a cancer site, you could group those into a Health Category. Once you have all of this laid out you can start. Use the keywords given for each site to search all three search engines to find either forums, link directories and blogs. By putting the word “directory” or “blog” or “forum” beside the keyword when you search it will help you find the right type of sites. Start now by manually browsing through each site, one by one, and quickly decide if you can submit a link for free, if you can comment for free or if you can sign up and post for free. Check to see if the sites have any features that might result in a negative point by linking on them. Check to see if it is even possible to have a link on the site…as Some sites wont accept free submission, they might not allow comments, or they might not allow links in your forum posts. Every site you determine to be a potential – copy the url down into a text and move on. This is call the initial reviewing process. You want to review a few hundred sites at least…and Before you stop you want at least 50 potential sites you can add a link to for each main “category” that you grouped your sites into earlier. This will probably take a few days. especially if you follow the figures correctly. So after probably 25 hours of work you should have 10 000 links ready to be “builded to” and around 250-500 “potential” sites. You will be provided with a rough draft list of potential websites to build on.
Now start submitting your links to appropriate categories, start signing up on forums, and keeping track of every place you submitted to, what you submitted to it, and any other helpful info. Keep track of the type of forums and topics they discuss. Keep track of high page rank sites, or sites that accept free link submissions very fast. basically organize yourself so that you are most efficient. By time you have visited and submitted a link and posted some posts on all 250-500 “potential” sites you found…you Should have at least 75 backlinks…if Not 250…depending On how well you did your initial review. Whats even better….you Have a list of 75 or 250 sites that accepted your link submission or allowed you to place a link on there site or in your comments.

How To Treat Your Body Acne In One Easy Step
Body acne is the general term used for clogged or plugged pores of the skin regardless of which part of the body is affected. In laymen’s terms, it is usually referred to as blackheads, whiteheads and pimples or bumps on the skin. In more technical or clinical terms, however, it can be classified into six different specific types that range from mild to severe cases. These six types include comedones, papules, pustules, macules, nodules and cysts.
Types of Body Acne
1.Comedones
This type is considered the ‘mildest’. It occurs when the skin’s sebacious follicle has been plugged or clogged with dead cells combined with other substances such as oil and bacteria. This type of acne is commonly known as a blackhead or a whitehead.
2.Papules
This type of body acne is similar to comedones since they look like small whiteheads up close. They usually appear in clusters, making the affected skin area feel sand-paper rough.
3.Pustules
This type is considered more serious than comedones and papules since pustules usually contain pus, which combines substances such as dead skin cells, bacteria and white blood cells.
4.Macules
Macules are those red and inflamed marks or spots on the skin that have been left by a recently healed pimple, whitehead or blackhead. This type of acne usually takes weeks or even months to disappear.
5.Nodules
This type is considered severe. Though it is similar to the less serious papule, a nodule usually has a deeper root and causes inflammation of the affected area.
6.Cysts
This type of body acne is considered the most serious of all types. Besides having a deeper root and causing inflammation, cysts can also result in skin scarring.
Body Acne Treatment
There is actually no absolute best acne solution that is applicable to everyone. The best acne solution for one person may not be effective for another; thus, one can only seek the body acne treatment that works specifically for his or her situation.
However, it does not mean that you should simply go on a trial-and-error test of all available medications for body acne. You should go for one that has a good reputation for curing acne and for this I recommend a 4% Niacinamide Topical cream.
Niacinamide is derived from Vitamin B3 and 4% topical Niacinamide has been proven, in studies by the State University of New York no less, to be as effective at treating acne as the leading topical prescription medication…Clindamycin.
Niacinamide and acne treatment were the subject of a New York State University study, where 76 patients were studied for the acne healing effects of 4% niacinamide gel versus 1% clindamycin gel. The preparations were used on moderate to inflammatory acne, twice daily for eight weeks.
The result…82% of niacinamide patients showed improvement as compared to only 68% of clindamycin patients. Moreover, since Clindamycin is widely known to diminish bacterial resistance, niacinamide is even more preferred.
Acnessential, a 4% Niacinamide cream, is one of the most effective acne cream products in the market today. Some of its advantages are the following.
It is natural and safe to use for as long as you need it.
It will not make your skin develop bacterial resistance unlike most antimicrobials.
It is ideal if you have dry, sensitive skin and cannot tolerate retinoids well.
Furthermore, Acnessential can be used alone or alongside antibiotics and even retinoids.

Acne treatment: How to prevent and treat acne
Keeping Acne Under the Radar: A Guide to Acne Causes, Treatment and Prevention
Almost everyone experiences acne at some point in his or her life. Although there is no exact cause, cure or prevention, there are plenty of resources available for people to be able to choose the best treatment and prevention for themselves.
What exactly is acne?
Acne vlugaris, known by most as just plain acne, is a skin disease that happens when follicles, or pores, become blocked with oil. This causes bacteria to grow, and can result in what everyone calls zits or pimples.
According to acne.org, there are two main types of acne: Inflammatory and non-inflammatory. Non-inflammatory acne is usually in the form of whiteheads and blackheads. Inflammatory acne is more visible, and is the type of acne referred to as zits or pimples.
Acne usually occurs on the face, but can also affect other areas of the body such as the shoulders, back and chest.
What causes acne?
There is no exact cause of acne. There are many different factors that can cause acne, although it is not known why some people experience more acne than others.
One factor in causing acne is overactive oil glands, or sebaceous glands, which are located beneath the skin surface. Sebaceous glands produce oil when stimulated by hormones. This is one of the reasons why teenagers are more susceptible to acne: their hormone activity is high during this stage of life.
Other causes of acne include genetics, stress, the use of anabolic steroids and certain medications.
How is acne treated?
There are many products and medications available for the treatment and prevention of acne. Some common treatments are topical, antibiotics and hormonal. The best treatment is usually a combination of different types of treatment.
Over-the-counter topical treatment can work well for mild acne. Some topical products fight acne by drying up oil, killing bacteria, and getting rid of dead skin cells. Stronger topical treatments are available by prescription, which work by aiding in cell turnover or preventing hair follicles from plugging.
Antibiotics can be used to treat acne by killing bacteria and fighting the inflammation, but the results can take months.
Females with acne can sometimes benefit from hormonal prescriptions. Oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progestogen have been known to clear up acne.
Cortisone is another hormonal method, which can be used to treat severe acne. If a zit

Acne and Related Disorders
Acne is a disorder that involves the hair-oil (pilosebaceous) apparatus of the skin. Acne vulgaris or common acne (referred to herein as adolescent acne) begins in the teen or preteen years. In general, it becomes less active as adolescence ends, but it may continue into adulthood. Acne that initially occurs in adulthood is designated post adolescent acne or adult-onset acne.
Despite the clinical similarities and occasional overlapping of adolescent and post adolescent acne, the pathogenesis and treatment of each are often different.
Acne-like disorders, such as neonatal acne, drug induced acne, rosacea, and other so-called acne form conditions, are also considered separate entities because of differences in pathogenesis and treatment.
CLASSIFICATION OF ACNE:
Adolescence acne (Acne Vulgaris). Preteen acne and adolescent acne (which may persist into adulthood).
Post adolescent Acne
Female adult-onset acne.
Female adult-onset acne concurrent with adolescent acne that has persisted into adulthood.
Postmenopausal acne.
Endocrinopathic acne.
Male adult-onset acne (rare).
In addition, the following are acne disorders:
Folliculitis.
Hidradenitis suppurativa.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae.
Acne keloidalis.
Neonatal acne.
Rosacea.
Perioral dermatitis.
Drug-induced acne.
Physically induced and occupational acne.
INFLAMMATORY LESIONS
Papules: Superficial red bumps (“zits”) that may have crusted. Scabbed surfaces caused by picking or squeezing.
Pustules: Superficial raised lesions containing purulent material, generally found in the company of papules.
Nodules: Large, deep papules or pustules.
“Cysts:” Acne “cysts” are not really cysts. True cysts are neoplasms that have an epithelial lining. Acne “cysts” do not have an epithelial lining; they are composed of poorly organized, variously shaped and blackhead or whitehead. Alternatively, the microcomedo may become an inflammatory lesion, such as a papule or pustule. The development of inflammatory lesions is theoretically as follows: Androgenic hormones stimulate sebaceous glands to increase in size and function and thus to produce more sebum (oil). The skin becomes oilier and the microcomedo becomes more hospitable to the anaerobe Propionibacterium acnes.
No inflammatory lesions:
The combination of open and closed comedones, as seen here, is most common in younger patients.
Sized conglomerations are inflammatory material.
Macules: The remains of formerly palpable inflammatory lesions that are in the process of healing from therapy or spontaneous resolution. They are flat, red or sometimes purple blemishes that slowly heal and may occasionally form a depressed (atrophic) scar.
COMEDONAL (NONINFLAMMATORY) LESIONS
A comedo is a collection of sebum and keratin that forms within follicular ostia (pores).
Open comedones (blackheads) have large ostia that are black not from dirt but from melanin.
Closed comedones (whiteheads) have small ostia. A combination of both inflammatory and comedonal acne is most commonly seen in younger patients.

Fade Acne Scar – Acne Scar Removal
Acne is one of the most frequent skin diseases which often flares up at the onset of adolescence and at some phases of late thirties and forties. Although most of the acne lesions get cured up without our notice, yet some of them leave their trace in the form of ugly acne scars. Acne scars often cause extreme psychological depression and social embarrassment in its victims. Since these unsightly disfigurements leave permanent marks on our skin it is quite desirable to find some way which could effectively fade acne scars. The following techniques and treatment procedures could be quite helpful to diminish the appearance of scars.
As soon as you are free from acne blemishes or if you do not have any zits, pimples, or any other comedones at the scarred area then you should follow exfoliation technique to lighten the mark caused by acne. Exfoliation would help in peeling off the damaged skin layer revealing a healthy new skin from underneath. It is preferable that you exfoliate your skin every 2 to 3 days. Never use any chemicals like salicylic acid which could be harsh and irritating on your skin. You might use wither sand or cornmeal for this purpose, which would be effective, cheap, as well as soothing for your gentle skin. Mix the exfoliator with some mild liquid soap and massage the scrub over the acne scar in a circular motion. But, do not overdo this in an attempt to get the result overnight, otherwise you might end up with more inflammation and redness on your skin.
You could also use some topical applications to fade acne scars to a large extent. Pure vitamin E oil is one of the most popular topical applications which is found to assuage the acne scars quite efficiently without inflicting any side effects. After exfoliation of the skin cover your scarred areas with this oil to be absorbed by your skin overnight. Make sure that your skin is properly washed and adequately dry before you apply this oil. Regular use of this oil would spectacularly mitigate acne scar visibility making it smooth and soft.
Most of the eminent dermatologists throughout the world prefer lazer resurfacing process to heal acne scars. This lazer treatment which is otherwise known as ablative lazer treatment uses a beam of lazer to remove the external layer of the skin. When the lazer radiation falls over the blemished skin area the water molecules present in the cells absorb the radiation and this instantaneously followed by the vaporization of the water content inside the cells of the skin layer. This renders the destruction of the damaged skin layer and subsequent removal of the acne scar. This is not only an efficient procedure to fade acne scar but also a successful method to rejuvenate the natural collagen production at the dermal layer. This is an excellent treatment procedure to enhance the aesthetic appearance of any dull scarred skin making it more fresh, supple, and healthy.
As with any other skin treatment it is immensely important to figure out certain factors before you go for acne scar treatment. A few aspects like the severity of acne scar, your skin type and your requirements must be checked to ensure the best treatment procedure to fade acne scar. A good dermatologist could help you to meet your needs and heal up your acne scar and restore a normal and presentable skin texture.
