Increase Google Rankings, Backlinks And Advertise For Free

I have just launched a new promotion that will help you increase your Google rankings. This will help you with increasing backlinks, gaining more traffic and allow you to advertise for FREE on my site. It’s called, “Category Sponsors” and it is completely free! My site design is very straight forward and to the point. I focus NOT on making money online with my site but rather I show you how to make money online instead. I write hundreds of articles that are designed to teach you how to find success with blogging. In addition to that, as my site continues to grow, so does my contributions and efforts towards giving back to the community. The bigger my site gets and the more popular it becomes, the more I give back to you.

What Is The Category Sponsors?

The Category Sponsors are links found on the top of my category pages. These links are the first to get crawled by web crawlers such as the famous Googlebot. My site is all about three things:

  1. Helping bloggers find success
  2. Gaining superior rankings in the search engines
  3. and giving it all back to you!

On the top of every category page within my site, I have opened up a brand new section that will allow your site to gain huge exposure and quickly increase backlinks and traffic.

(See screen shot below)

Advertise For Free

If you want your site listed in the Category Sponsors section here is how to do it:

Step One: Choose any of the following categories below:

  1. Blogging Tips
  2. Google Adsense Tips
  3. Google Ranking Tips
  4. Make Money Online
  5. Search Engine Marketing
  6. Search Engine Optimization

Step Two: Choose how to market one of these sections:

In order for me to include your site in the Category Sponsors section, I only ask that you link back to my category section! I am not asking for much and I will never ask for money! I just need a little link love in return. Your one link to my one category is going to get you a link back from every category within my site. Currently that is ten links to your one.

  1. Write a post about my category: If you write a small review or post about my category on your blog and provide a direct link to my category, I will then include your link in the “Category Sponsors” section.
  2. Add one of my categories to your blogroll. If you add one of my categories to your blogroll (use the anchor text above) I will then include your link in the “Category Sponsors” section.

Step Three: Leave Me A Comment Below:

After you have completed steps one and two, drop me a comment below and I will add your site to the “Category Sponsors” section. That is it! This is a very simple and easy way to help your site increase backlinks, traffic and gain more exposure! Web crawlers such as the Googlebot index my pages every 48 to 72 hours and I have over 500 pages indexed. Link to one of my category sections by writing a brief post or including the category in your blogroll and drop me a comment below. I look forward to including your site as a Category Sponsor!

Garry! How do you do it? I’m constantly amazed by your ‘Creative Thinking’.
I’ll be adding ‘Search Engine Optimization’ category to my blogroll by the end of the day!

2 George { 06.20.07 at 11:24 am }

I agree with K-IntheHouse… You have some pretty amazing ideas. Look forward to seeing how this works out for you. It should do amazing things for your Search rankings. Good luck with it.

3 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 11:54 am }

I have you added, thanks for adding me. I also stopped by your site today and dropped you a few comments as well. :)

4 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 11:57 am }

Thanks for the comment George. Let me know if you mention the site in an article and such and I will add you too! :)

Also have the blogroll back up and your site is in there. Thanks again for taking the time to voice your opinion about that.

5 Travelwell { 06.20.07 at 12:07 pm }

Hi Garry,
Your Professional Products Review site looks quite cool. I can see how this site is an Adsense money maker for you.
I have added the site to my blog roll at http://www.articlediscovery.com/blog
Anchor text “Best Deals Online”.
Keep the good idea coming. Great work.
Best regards,
David

6 George { 06.20.07 at 12:14 pm }

Thanks Garry. I will try to remember to mention it. Hope all is well with you.

Later,
George

7 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 12:29 pm }

Thanks man, same to you…
Looks like Google made some more shifts again… MMO has changed quite a bit.. and I am also listed too! Very far down the list though, but will keep an eye on it. My main word that I am really excited about is, “blogging tips” I went from being listed on the 5th or 6th page all the way to page two. So, I am really excited about that!

8 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 12:40 pm }

David,
Thanks a lot. I appreciate that and have included your site in that blogroll. That site alone makes quite a bit of money and I would really hate to lose it. Losing a site like that will cause me to have to put on a suit again M-F and wake up bright and early and come home late at night, never see my kids. So, by adding the link into your blogroll, you help me quite a bit. I really should invest more time into that site… but I have many other sites that require attention too! Where is my clone! :)
If you have room in your blogroll I would enjoy featuring your site as a Category Sponsor. Ten days ago when I redesigned my site I did two things. Improve the overall appearance but in the background, I have (hopefully) created a huge search engine super magnet. Only time will tell but if what I have done works, then I am rolling out the same format on my other blogs as well as publishing what I have done here on the site so others can do the same. Things are looking good so far.

9 Homemom3 { 06.20.07 at 2:05 pm }

Garry would love to help but I’ve got ya on my site already. Love the new categories. Oh BTW- did ya know that your mybloglog visitors are gone in your sidebar?

10 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 2:07 pm }

I just noticed that too… I wonder if it appears on other sites. Sometimes MBL goes down as I am sure they are constantly doing work on their site since the Yahoo buy out.

* and its back up and running! lol

11 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 2:09 pm }

Also, to be a category sponsor, you don’t just have to include that section in your blogroll… you can also write a post about one of my categories and I will include you as a category sponsor. :)

12 Deborah { 06.20.07 at 2:21 pm }

Hi Gary,
Ask and you shall receive :-) I’ve given a link to you in my Do Follow blogger’s list.

I’ve also added you to my blogroll using ‘Creative Thinking’ which would likely be the most beneficial to you considering my theme. I haven’t monetized my blog, but I’ll come back later to read your post more carefully when I have more time.

Cheers!

13 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 2:28 pm }

Deborah,
Thanks for including me in your blogroll as well as adding me to the DOFOLLOW list. I totally support the Do Follow movement and can’t understand why by default Wordpress would include this tag in their software? Oh well.. at least we all know how to remove it and at least we are all spreading the word about it. Your site looks great and I had fun visiting it and plan to come back soon. :)

14 George { 06.20.07 at 2:30 pm }

Congratulations on that. I saw you were on page 6 for MMO. I am up to #3 again, but who knows how long that will last. I have noticed some other big name marketers getting into the MMO mix. Unfortunately, John Chow made such a big deal about this, that the competition has become crazy for that keyword phrase. When I originally decided to target it (back in 2005) it was MUCH less competitive. Although, now it’s much more visible. So I guess that is good for my blog, eh?

I may have to go for another keyword phrase, something less competitive like “money” or “Internet Marketing”…

Just joking of course, well maybe not :-)

15 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 2:36 pm }

Everyone knows that the truth comes out in humor!
Hey more power to you if you can land “MONEY” that would be awesome! Should I update your blogroll listing?
As far as the MMO via SERP goes, man… don’t change a thing, you are listed there for a reason and I would keep on keeping on!

I am personally thrilled to have blogging tips… which I am now on page two. :) Ten days ago I did a major site re-design. Not only for appearance, but also for search engine marketing and optimization… and I believe I am starting to see the work pay off.

I am keeping a super close eye on things and if all goes as expected, in a few months I will be published an article that will show readers exactly what I did in a step by step tutorial. :)

16 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 2:39 pm }

Also, yes… as we all can see from the JC experience, it is very good to diversify your keywords just as you would with stock investment. You have your high risk stocks that typically can make you more money quicker, but are riskier and can burn you and you have your safe stocks that make money over time…

So with keywords… you can have your main huge high roller words like, MMO but it is a very good idea to have your back ups as well.

That is part of the reason why I am marketing my individual categories. My goal is to have my home page as well as my individual category pages all sitting well in the SERPs with established PageRank.

People will want to have their links in these sections because they are DOFOLLOW and get indexed very quickly.

And that is why I created the “Category Sponsors” section. So that I can give back to my readers who need a boost in traffic, indexing and backlinks. :)

17 George { 06.20.07 at 2:42 pm }

Cool, be sure to let me know when you post it.

I look forward to reading it. I probably should be doing more to increase my rankings, but the main thing I am doing now is focusing on this new project and continuing to put out good content on my blog (although my guest bloggers are making that a lot easier).

18 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 2:45 pm }

I will. and very sorry for not being more active on your site. I have been very focused and busy making sure I can get my bills paid!!! Ahhhh!!! I hate bills.
I intend to write another wonderful article for you hopefully by tonight. From there I have already written on BAYB and I want to write maybe two more… from there I will showcase my writings on a post here on my site and more likely close comments and encourage everyone to read the articles within the sites I made my guest appearances on.

19 George { 06.20.07 at 3:44 pm }

Garry,
I didn’t mean you needed to write a guest post, but feel free to do so. I currently have 7 people writing guest posts on my blog and out of that, I have about three in my drafts folder to post. In other words, inviting guest bloggers to write for my blog I think was a GREAT idea. As you know, I love your writing, so feel free to write as many guest posts as you like.

All the best,
George

Hello Garry :)

I’ve added link to your Blogging Tips Category on my http://www.blogging4everyone.info/ blogroll

Let me know if I did anything wrong and I will fix it LOL

Thank you very much for this great opportunity!

22 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 4:08 pm }

Oh I know… I enjoy doing it and feel it is a great way for me to expand on my readership at the same time by helping other sites continue to grow. That is excellent news about your guest bloggers. That has to take a load off your back! Nice work! If any of your guest bloggers need an additional place to write at, send them my way too… I could use a little help with writing and also open up the traffic flood gates a little bit for them too. :)

23 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 4:17 pm }

Thanks for writing a post about my category. I have added your link and you are now included in the Category Sponsors section! Thank you so much for helping. :)

24 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 4:18 pm }

Thanks again for writing that post about my category, I have added that post into the list and thank you for adding my category to your other site’s blogroll, I have provided a direct link to that as well. :)

25 George { 06.20.07 at 4:31 pm }

No problem, I will mention it to them.

26 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 4:39 pm }

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

BTW, is your blog a DOFOLLOW blog?
Meaning, have you removed the rel=nofollow tag from links in your blog, commonly done with a WP Plugin?

I am going to be replacing my links page (link on my top nav) and replacing it with a huge links page of DOFOLLOW blogs so that readers can quickly find blogs that open arms to commenters and reward them by allowing their links to be indexed.

27 K-IntheHouse { 06.20.07 at 4:48 pm }

Done! Thanks for adding mine..

Congrats.. you are the top commentator at ShanKri-la now. I am running out for a little bit but I’ll read & reply to your comments tonight. :-)

28 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 4:52 pm }

I am! Wow… that didn’t take long! Man, we need to send you some readers!!!

To Everyone Who Reads My Site

Take a moment to check out my buddy’s site and drop him a comment or two. His site is more than worth the visit, definately worth subscribing to and an awesome place to meet more people. Visit – ShanKri-la dot Com and tell him that Garry Conn sent you!
:)

29 Inga Oz { 06.20.07 at 5:06 pm }

Thank you very much Garry! :) I really like your blog, all the best to you! :)

30 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 5:13 pm }

same to you! And again, very nice to meet you… don’t be a stranger! :)

31 George { 06.20.07 at 8:05 pm }

Yes, it is a do-follow blog.

32 George { 06.20.07 at 8:13 pm }
33 Garry Conn { 06.20.07 at 8:59 pm }

That’s good… I will remember to include you in the list of DOFOLLOW blogs that I will be adding that will replace my links page.

34 George { 06.20.07 at 9:31 pm }

Cool thanks. I think there is a do-follow meme as well. You might want to search for it.

35 K-IntheHouse { 06.21.07 at 7:36 am }

Hey.. thanks for that big mention! I already saw a handful of visitors from here this morning..

I wonder if it is my writing style or if I am just plain boring.. I should work on encoraging more discussions on there.

Between, I am in the nofollow lineup as well. :-)

36 Tom LeDree { 06.21.07 at 10:19 am }

Hi Gary I have added your “Blogging Tips” link to my blogroll!

Happy Blogging

37 Garry Conn { 06.21.07 at 11:10 am }

Thanks Tom,
I have your site added as a Category Sponsor! Thanks a lot for adding my category to your site! :)

38 Garry Conn { 06.21.07 at 11:38 am }

ShanKri-la

where technology meets daily life!
Welcome to ShanKri-la! Hope you like the new theme and layout. I will be tweaking this here and there in the next week or so. If you see anything weird or broken, please use the contact form to drop me a line. It will be greatly appreciated!

I would replace and add this:

ShanKri-la

where technology meets daily life!
ShanKri-la is a blog that delivers useful information about technology and makes the lives of thousands of readers a little bit easier, a little bit more enjoyable and a little bit more manageable.

Reason why I would replace this paragraph, is because with the existing one, the very first thing that comes to mind is incompetence and insecurity. Both of which I know you are not. However, your very first statement doesn’t reflect excellence and competence in your ability to lead and direct thousands of people.

  • I hope you will…
  • I will be tweaking…
  • If you see anything weird or broken…

Are not things you want your readers to see first before anything else. Blogging is highly competitive and very social. Meaning in other words you are fighting for leadership. Everyone in life looks up to a leader of some sort. We are all followers of someone, and if you are a blog author… you are a leader, you are an expert and you never illustrate weakness to your people. If people are going to follow you into war, through thick and thin, you need to be strong and display confidence in your writing.

The Articles, Posts and Content

When you write articles, it needs to be more than something else I could easily find myself in Google News. Or if you do cover items already discovered, then I would get One on One with your readers and illustrate why doing certain things will help them, or better their Internet experience. Again, people look for leaders (subconsciously). If you write a post about a Firefox Extension, then you need to tell people why they should install it, why it will make things better for them, etc. Don’t just post the news… because the news is already covered in hundreds of other places.

I think you are doing very well. And I think that if you format your articles to where you are speaking directly (in first person) to your readers, that may help. When I write on my site, the reader feels as if I am speaking directly to them. It is a two way conversation between the reader and myself. Yet, in reality of things, I am really speaking to thousands. But you feel as if you are my only reader and nothing else matters except for you.

Keep up the great work. And display the confidence and natural leadership you already have instilled in you and things will get even better for you! :)

39 K-IntheHouse { 06.21.07 at 3:09 pm }

What do I say? You have hit the nail on the head. I am changing that piece in the header (which was meant to be on for just a couple of days when I changed the theme :-) ) tonight.

I am committing to your advice and hopefully it will reflect in my posts starting today.

About my posts, good point. I try to stay away from the breaking news line as there are tons of places to get that information. I select & choose the stuff I find useful myself and then analyze and dissect it for my readers.

Speaking directly to a single reader is a great point and I am going to adhere to that in every post.

Thanks for the words of encouragement and advice, Garry! I am here all the time for a reason and it is this learning experience that makes me come back. Plus, everyone else who hangs around here are cool too.. :-)

With your advice, maybe I’ll be a PR 5 or 6 when ShanKri-la turns 1 February 2008.

40 Garry Conn { 06.21.07 at 3:40 pm }

Your site is predicted to be a PR5 with 82.4 Accuracy and has 2,126 backlinks. Your site is doing quite well.

41 Thor Schrock { 06.21.07 at 7:34 pm }

Great idea Gary! Where have you been? I haven’t been able to get ahold of you for a while. autopost lives on after death, so I was just checking ;-)

42 Goldy { 06.21.07 at 8:10 pm }

Gary,

Off-topic: Finally got the new design for GoldyWorld up. Take a look when you get a chance dude.

43 Garry Conn { 06.21.07 at 8:54 pm }

Hey man,
How have you been. Very sorry for being a stranger man. I hear things have been going very well for you on the Millionaire! Congrats that is awesome! Something doesn’t surprise me though… I knew you would do well with the competition. I have been just plugging away… keeping very busy with all these blogs. I haven’t forgotten about MBA either, sorry for putting that on the back burner. You might be a little busy too with the Millionaire… but it is something I still want to do and soon. I am desperate to get these blogs all up and running and keep plugging away at them. Check out Boeing Aircraft Sales to see what I have been up to. This is a subsidiary site of my main site title, Internet Aircraft Sales. I have about half the other subsidiary sites up and running with a basic design, the two references given here are almost final products… and when the whole project is done I will have close to one site per every mainstream aircraft that is widely bought and sold.
I need a clone, I tell ya… I need a few of them actually. Not only for dev but also for publishing.

44 Garry Conn { 06.21.07 at 9:02 pm }

Now that’s a tasty burger!

:)

Wow, killer design man… I really do like it. What an amazing difference. I didn’t realize up until today that you are a TypePad user. How’s that working for you? Do you have experience with Wordpress as well?

45 Neo { 06.21.07 at 11:45 pm }

Hi Garry,

Gotta love the links. I have a quick post for you at http://www.million-dollar-website.com.

Hi Garry,
Sorry to take so long in getting back to you about being a category sponsor. I’ve been reworking my blog sites a good bit and just beginning to catch up with more normal business.
I just made a post about “blogging tips” at Article Discovery Politics and added you to my blogroll
with “blogging tips” as the text.
Thanks for all that you do and for your category sponser offer. I gladly accept!

Wow, that is a fantastic and generous idea. I linked to you in my post at http://buryingkilledtime.blogspot.com/ (although it included info on other blogs as well). I’d love to be included in the “making money online” category. I’m just experimenting, researching, and trying to make wasting my time online a profitable venture!

63 Jimsym { 06.29.07 at 5:45 am }

Hi Garry,
I really enjoyed your posts about Google Adsense and some of the points you made through the linked comments were right on the button too. So I’ve done a review of the Adsense Tips category over at my own blog Google Adsense, see what you think:
