Building Backlinks - Problems

When I started this blog a few years ago. I read and learned that the main ways to build backlinks to your site was: post comments on other blogs, post comments on forums, write articles etc.

Today, these methods work less then before. Most blogs have "nofollow" tags on your comment links, articles if used on another site doesn't give your site any juice and you may have to worry about the duplicate contact penalty (maybe against your site). And as I believe I have mentioned before a number of site just post a snippet of your article with a link back to the original article directory where they got it from.

So what do you do? New way to build links back to your site come out everyday but don't work for long.

So if anyone knows of a good way to build backlinks, let me know!!!

Tracking--Are You Tracking Your Visitors

I'm sure, that you have heard that you should track your visitors on your website. What pages they view and what links they click etc.

So I started to do this lately and to my surprise, I found out that a percentage of my visitors did not leave a trace of what pages they were on.

Now I know you are asking yourself, then how did you know they were there? Because I am also tracking most of my links and they were getting clicked. And then I remembered talk about link theft and cloaking our affiliate links and how many sales were lost to this.

But when you think about it, how many affiliate sales are lost because of a visitor having their browser set so that cookies are off.

There are a lot of scripts out there to help with this, but I haven't found any that have worked. So if you read this post and know of one that works and is simple to install leave a comment.

Good Luck
