Get Backlinks To Your Site FREE

By John Uhrig On January 29, 2009 No Comments
get-backlinks-to-your-site-free

Well, you may know I like to talk about SEO, back links and internet marketing. Backlinks are a critical part of SEO and your overall marketing strategy online. So I had an idea??? — How about some free backlinks for Underground-Internet-Marketing.com readers?

Basically, I thought people might like some free marketing.

9 Free Back Links From StudioMonochrome collection of sites.

Here is how you can get 9 free “do-follow” back links to any 3 URLs that you choose (3 links to each of your 3 URLs).

  1. Link to this post from somewhere using some great anchor text like “free backlinks“. This gets me some much needed link love. Thanks! If you don’t have an easy way to generate a link (like a blog), then you can “Digg, Delicious or Furl” this post instead.
  2. “Twitter” the link to this post and tell about this offer. This gets some traffic to this promotion. Thanks!
  3. “StumbleUpon” this post. More traffic. Thanks!
  4. Leave me a comment in the area below this post… indicating you intend to participate. I will confirm you are “in the game!”
  5. Write a good article that includes 3 links to 3 pages of your choice. Use whatever anchor text that you like. Use PLR content if you like, but do not violate copyright laws or copy someones stuff.
  6. Use plain text HTML only. Use anchor tags in your plain text. No fonts, no paragraph markers, etc. Just plain text, carriage returns, and anchor tags.
  7. Email me at: (info @ studiomonochrome.com) proving you’ve done 1-3 and include the post text. Use “free links” in the subject line.
  8. I will post your article to 3 blogs in our StudioMonochrome marketing Network. This will result in 3 live posts on the net, each containing 3 links for a total of 9 backlinks for you free of charge.
  9. Be patient. Every post on our StudioMonochrome network is approved by an actual human. Network security is the top priority. It will take a few days for your posts to go live.
  10. I will email you with the list of backlinks. This list is confidential. You may not share the URLs with anyone ever.

That’s it — I get some much needed love… and you get some backlinks, FREE. I get some traffic, backlinks and we all win!

Simple. Transparent. No B.S.

Rules for this offer (can change without notice).

  1. This backlink offer can expire without notice. I’ll certainly stop offering this at some point.
  2. One offer per individual.
  3. First come, first served.
  4. Whatever I decide goes. I am a fair guy, so don’t worry. But if I cannot post your content for some reason, the deal is off. I will explain why.
  5. I can change the rules whenever I want (in case I’ve forgotten something).
  6. Post, sites & links must be 100% completely non-religious and family friendly. No exceptions. StudioMonochrome’s network has very strict rules on this. No profanity, porn, religion (includes Christmas, St. Whatever Day, etc), hate, etc. If you are worried about your content, ask me first.
  7. Feel free to use PLR for your content if you like.
  8. Do not put all three of your links at the bottom of the post. Mix them throughout the content naturally. (top, middle, bottom)
  9. Again, you may not reveal the location of your posts. The information is confidential. I will tell you, but you cannot tell anyone, ever.

That’s it for now… please let me know if you have any questions.

This should work out well for all of us!

Cheers,

John Uhrig

How to Get Things Done with Twitter

By John Uhrig On January 27, 2009 No Comments
Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow her on Twitter.

Let’s face it: a growing number of people are using Twitter these days, spending a lot of time on Twitter, and still need to get things done on Twitter.

If you want to spend a lot of time conversing with people on Twitter, that’s great … but many people still need to get their tasks done. Let’s take a look at how to do that.

Why use Twitter to get things done? Twitter isn’t necessarily the best platform for getting things done … but if you’re already using it a lot, it might be easier or faster for you to do things while still in Twitter. Note: I don’t take responsibility for any of these services — if they don’t work well, check with them! :)

Here’s how:

1. Reminders: Need a quick reminder that you have an appointment, or need to follow up on something later? Follow “timer” on Twitter, and send it a direct message with a reminder time and it will ping you at that time. For example: “d timer 30 pick up Chloe”.

2. To-do list: A couple of popular to-do services are on Twitter: Remember the Milk (on Twitter) and Nozbe (on Twitter). Follow them and send them direct messages to add things to your to-do list, or to check the items on your list.

3. Calendar: If you use Google Calendar (gCal), go to Twittercal, then follow gCal on Twitter and add events by sending direct messages to gCal. For example: “d gcal meeting with paul tomorrow at 7pm”.

4. Delegate: If you’re going through your to-do list or email and find a task that’s better suited for someone else, sending that person a direct message (assuming they’re on Twitter) can be quicker and easier than sending an email or making a phone call.

5. Follow up: The same applies to following up. I’ve done it a bunch of times — instead of opening up your email program, composing a new message, typing in the person’s address and the subject line, and then writing the email … you can just direct message them on Twitter: “d zen_habits don’t forget to answer my interview questions, you berk!”

6. Accountability with goals: Want some extra motivation to achieve your goals? Announce through Twitter or on your blog that you’re going to post your progress updates every day on Twitter. For example, if you’re trying to eat healthier, you can post everything you eat on Twitter. Trying to exercise? Post your workouts on Twitter. It’s great motivation, and you can get some support and encouragement from your Twitter friends.

7. Get info or ideas quickly: If you have a good Twitter network, you can ask a question and usually get a few responses quicker than many other methods. I’ve gotten website and service recommendations, ideas for a post I was writing, restaurant recommendations, people interested in a job, and more.

8. Do real work: It’s possible to do real work on Twitter — people have written stories or posts by writing them in little chunks in Twitter. It might be worth a try. But if that doesn’t work, my strongest recommendation is to turn Twitter off when you need to do some real work. Then, when you’re done, reward yourself with 10 minutes on Twitter.

Other useful Twitter services:

  • Tweetbeep: A service to keep track of keywords through alerts that you set up. You’ll get an email notification if anyone mentions you or your brand or your blog posts in their tweets. Note: It looks like this service is down right now but they say they’ll be back soon.
  • StrawPoll: create a poll. Your Twitter contacts can participate in the poll by simply sending an @reply message.
  • TwitResponse: allows you to schedule delivery of your tweets — very useful if you want to set up a bunch of tweets in the future.
  • Zen Habits: Yes, you can get updates on the latest Zen Habits posts, as well as The Power of Less Tips of the Day, and more.

What are your favorite methods and services to get things done on Twitter? Share in the comments area below! I look forward to your insight!

Thanks John Uhrig…
