Feel free to leave comments or questions anytime, I love to interact with my readers and I am always trying to make myself available to them. If you are looking to get your feet wet in Internet Marketing then this is a great place to start!

When it comes to Internet Marketing and Blogging I know that there are a lot of things that will determine my success. I believe that to be successful in the business you will need to make connections with other people in the business and you will need to promote your own business actively.

While a lot of Internet Marketers promote their business with PPC and other common strategies, sometimes they forget that they should also think broader and go all out! In this issue of the ‘One Year Millionaire‘ I am going to talk about Internet Marketing Forums and list the best ones. One thing I’ve learned in my time is that you can promote your site greatly just by being active on a Marketing forum and you can also build some great Backlinks as a bonus.

Here is a list of 8 Great Internet Marketing Forums:

1. www.digitalpoint.com
   If you are looking to become active on an Internet Marketing forum; whether it is to promote your own business or to learn more about the business, this is probably the best place to start looking. The community on Digital Point is very friendly and extremely helpful when it comes to new members. The forum is broken down into different sections including ‘Google Adsense‘ and ‘Link Development‘ that you could spend time to read every day!
2. www.warriorforum.com
   This forum is much like Digital Point listed above except it is not as widely known. It is still a big high trafficked forum; however, you should be cautious about how you post and behave because other users may be tough, but helpful! One thing I really like about this forum in particular is that they have a section regarding “Success” which is a topic I write a lot about.
3. www.wickedfire.com
   When it comes to Internet Marketing forums with the most style and the most outspoken members I would have to give it to Wicked Fire! Some of the members are extremely brutal when it comes to newbies on the site and the forum encourages harsh critique. This forum does seem to have a lot of great information and members who can prove that they know what they are talking about when it comes to Internet Marketing.
4. www.v7n.com
   This forum is a Web Development community that has a lot of members who discuss different things including Web Design, Web Development, Internet Marketing, Search Engine Optimization and Blogging!
5. www.ewealth.com
   This is an Affiliate Marketing Forum that concentrates mostly of everything to do with Affiliate Marketing. There are different sections geared towards members of different Affiliate Networks as well as a few sections about PPC Marketing and other useful Internet Marketing topics.
6. www.highrankings.com
   This forum concentrates on Search Engine Optimization which is great because a lot of Internet Marketers need to learn more about it in order to succeed. Use this forum for everything related to SEO!
7. www.sitepoint.com
   Site Point is an awesome Web Development Forum.. It doesn’t really focus on Internet Marketing at all, but I know personally that Internet Marketing and Web Development go hand in hand when you want to succeed in this business. One thing I would like to point out is that if you are looking to buy an existing established website or blog, check out Site Point!
8. www.internetmarketingforums.net
   This Internet Marketing Forum isn’t as active as all the ones listed above, but I can still find a lot of gems here once in a while. Also since there are a lot less users on the site, if you are looking for help from others or would like to share something it will be a lot easier to get noticed; whereas on other forums, your post could get flooded to the bottom in minutes!

Remember that being active on an Internet Marketing Forum can help a lot for your website’s exposure and you can learn so much! I spend about an hour everything other day on these forums to see what is going on and I feel that if I spent more time on them that my sites would grow faster. Check out these forums!

In the last issue of the ‘One Year Millionaire‘ I spoke about Alexa Rank.. what is it good for and gave you “5 Great Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank“. Today I am going to talk similarly about Technorati Authority.

Technorati is a powerhouse on the internet. It is almost like a blog ranking system that shows you how your blog measures up to the competition! In previous issues I have already talked about “The Importance of Technorati” and “Technorati Tags“, but today I will talk about what you can do to increase your rank, so let’s take a look:

1. Comment on Other Blog Posts.
   Leaving comments on other blogs is by far the easiest way to make your Technorati Rank sky rocket! It is easy to post useful comments that are relevant to other blogs without spamming and it is a great way to make your Technorati Numbers soar!
2. Guest Posting on Other Blogs.
   A good solid way to get a relevant Backlink that will be counted towards your Technorati Rank is to guest post on another blog that uses Technorati. Put a link back to your homepage in the author credits and you will have your rank go up. The hard thing about this is that you don’t want to write hundreds of Guest Posts just to build your Technorati Rank; it is a lot of work for just a little progress… but it is a good way to start!
3. Ask Others to Add Your Blog to Their Favorites.
   This may seem like a waste of time but I noticed that if you ask others to Add your blog to their Technorati Favorites than in turn they may also link to you. Also when your favorite number goes up.. other people browsing Technorati will likely see your blog and may link to its content!
4. Link all your Other Blogs to This One.
   For some reason this seems almost like a shady tactic, but I looked around and pretty much everyone does it, so there is no harm in joining the rest of the world. If you have a lot of other blogs, then you can put a small text link on the homepage linking back to the blog that you want to rank better on Technorati. When it comes down to thousands and thousands of Backlinks it won’t make much of a difference, but if you are just starting to build your Technorati Authority then you will notice how much of a difference 5-10 links can make on your number!
5. Link Baiting!
   This is the old fashioned way of building your Technorati Rank. This is the fact that if you post something that other Bloggers will link to then you are sure that your Technorati Rank will go up along with it. Remember that creating good well written and informative content will always be your best weapon when it comes to link building.

These are just some of the best ways that you can increase your Technorati Rank. Always try to keep in mind that whether it is Alexa, Technorati, or whatever else, you have to decide for yourself if it is important enough for you to spend time on. If you have personal goals or financial goals to reach.. you should know the difference before you set out to reach them and be prepared for obstacles and surprises! Good luck building your Technorati Authority!

The first question that may come to mind for a lot of readers is “What is an Alexa Rank?” The answer is simple. Alexa is a ranking based on gathered browser data. This information is taken and used to calculate your rank amongst other websites. Any time you approach advertisers online looking for someone to pay for ad space on your website, you will need to prove that it is worth their money and Alexa Ranking is an industry standard. When your Alexa Rank gets within the top 100,000 it is almost an accurate representation of the quality of your traffic.

Whether you put a lot of importance on Alexa or not, I am sure that having a higher Alexa Rank will benefit you. Websites with high Alexa Ranks have a tendency of keeping their audience and building it. This means that if you have a low Alexa Rank and a Webmaster visits your site, he may not think you are a credible source of information (especially in this Niche) and may decide not to come back; however, if you have a good rank and provide top notch information then you are almost guaranteed a returning visitor!

Here are 5 Great Ways to Increase Your Alexa Rank:

1. Install the Alexa Toolbar.
   This is the first step that will increase your Alexa Rank. Installing the Toolbar on your own personal computer and setting your website as the browser’s homepage is the easiest thing you could do to improve your rank. This won’t do much when you look at the big picture, but if you want a quick confidence boost then this will do the trick. This gives you the impression that you are getting somewhere! You can also install the Alexa Toolbar on all of your computers and it will multiply the effect.
2. Get Others to Install the Alexa Toolbar.
   Try to convince your friends and family to install the toolbar and set your site to the homepage on their own computers. You could potentially raise your rank significantly if a couple dozen people start doing this. Nag your friends every day if you have to until they do it. It takes only a minute and it is completely free!
3. Put the Alexa Widget on Your Website.
   Putting the Alexa Widget on your website doesn’t only show people your Alexa Rank, but it also summons curiosity. Those who aren’t using Alexa will wonder what it is, they will ultimately click on it to find out and install the toolbar. This will turn many of your returning visitors into Alexa Rank Builders!
4. Drive Webmaster Traffic to Your Website.
   It is a known fact that when you step into a Web Development Niche that a lot of your visitors are going to be Webmasters and other Bloggers. Alexa Rank doesn’t weight non-Alexa Toolbar traffic very highly; therefore, you will not see a dramatic increase in your rank if your readers don’t install the toolbar. If your website can catch a lot of traffic from webmasters then you know that a good percentage of them will have the toolbar installed for their own gains and purposes. This is probably the best thing you can do to Increase Your Alexa Rank! If you aren’t too sure about how to get webmasters to visit your site or you think your niche is wrong for it then you could always visit Webmaster Forums and ask opinions on your website and drop your link!
5. Write a Post about Alexa Ranking.
   This is something that not many people think about, but I believe that writing the post is a sure way to Increase Alexa Rank. The main reason is because it will put into perspective the value of Alexa and people who are already visiting the website will Install the Alexa Toolbar. Those who don’t believe in the power of Alexa may start to believe and those who have not been enlightened will have seen.

Now if you haven’t already downloaded the Alexa Toolbar then you should do it now. Every Blogger or Webmaster on the internet should be using the Alexa Toolbar!
