Lyrics:
You create a new site and its content heavy,
With the right amount of pictures you believe it’s ready,
So you launch it trying to put money in da bank,
But when you search and try to find yourself, you can’t,
So you thank until your mind goes blank,
Got titles and headers but no page rank,
Sooner or later it will show if I wait,
In the meantime make sure my code validate,
And it do, Hmm, now what I’m supposed to do,
Add meta information and alt tags too,
Still don’t get listing,
Something must be missing,
Brad and Chuck recommended doing link building,
So you start hunting down sites like a predator,
Doing back links on all your competitors,
Whoever linking to them need to link to me,
Is it free, do we swap, or do I pay a fee,
Well take it from us, before you take that step,
Some things about the site that you might want to check,
Did they use a link farm or some dirty tactics,
Could have a bad effect on your site that’s drastic,
Could’ve link baited, look at what they created,
Compare it to yours, is it even related,
Take the time, go inspect and see,
Take advantage of paid directories,
If you follow all the steps with a little bit of patience,
Get links from relevant sites that are favorites,
Update your content on the regular basis,
I’m confident you’ll make it to first page placement!
I’ve been talking about Malaysia Digg Version– Innit Nuffnang in my previous post. Basically it is a local social bookmarking website for Nuffnang users to promote their blog’s contents and let people to give a vote for it. It’s a quick method to bring bloggers extra traffics if bloggers use it wisely with the tips below.
1. Catchy Title
The title of the post is the only highlighted item in Innit Nuffnang’s “Most Popular Post” section. In order to get more votes (Nangs) from Nuffnangers, the title must be able to get their attention among the other’s titles. Title keywords like sex, porn, model, Nuffnang, Advertlets and blogging are current the hottest keywords. Therefore, a catchy title play a very important role to attract Nuffnangers to click at it without second thought.
2. Timing
Timing of when a post is added is the second key. After a post is added, a limited time is given for a new post to stay in the first page until another 13 new post is added. The exposure period in first page determines how many possible votes could be collected because normally people do not surf Innit Nuffnang till third page. That’s why a new added post must get as many votes as possible when it stays in the first page.
I have roughly analyse few golden hours to add a new post:
1.Weekdays(7 a.m to 9 a.m) – Undoubtedly weekdays have more active Internet users than weekend. These active Internet users are normally office workers. Therefore, add a new post before a day begins can ensure there will be less competitors and more readers in Innit Nuffnang.
Weekdays(12.30 p.m to 2 p.m) – Lunch hour is another golden duration to add a new post as people is relaxing at that moment. Moreover, it’s the highest traffics period of a day because many people are surfing Internet when resting.
Saturday morning – Add a new post on Saturday morning can target those Internet users who have no program for their weekend. If a post added is entertaining, I believe it will get a lot of “Nang” for whoever is bored at home.
Links are the main source of targeted traffic and very important to all the website because the popularity of a link is the top factor in majority search engine rankings. It’s good to know what links are but it would be better if we really get our hand dirty with playing “links”.
One of the most direct technique to get more back links is through “Link Exchange“. Webmasters could always exchange links with other webmasters in a traditional way. This kind of old method is detectable by Google bot and therefore, a website which has too much reciprocal links does not get high PageRank because a website receives many back links does not cover the outbound links that it given away.
Why Select Link Exchange Experts?
Link Exchange Expertshas developed a system that will allow you to quickly and easily get links pointed to your site with minimal effort on your part. This webmaster tool helps to increase search engine rankings and get over 600 links pointed directly to a website.
Link Building with Link Exchange Experts saves your precious time to ensure that the links that traded are still up. Moreover, there is nothing to install or link out from your website.

Affortable Pricing and Features
If compare the pricing with TLA or ReverseLinks, I think Link Exchange Experts offers a reasonable price for link building. The purchased link will point directly to your home page from real and high-quality websites but not link farms.
Nuffnang launched a new online application – Innit Nuffnang. This so called “nang-it!” online application works similarly like Digg.com.
