| We really do get so many testimonials that there's just no time to get them on site. But should you like some references I will be happy to provide them to you directly. Here are a couple of recent unsolicitied testimonials:

| February 2008:
"I just wanted to drop a line or two to thank you for the service that you provide. I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical at first, but you have certainly proven yourself to us. You have never failed to personally respond to any of our questions, which in itself is a rarity these days. Not only do you obviously know your business, but you are following the constant changes involved in this fast paced venue, and keeping us informed. We have watched our link popularity grow over these past months, and our site is now ranked in the top 3 for Google, Yahoo, & MSN for our targeted keyword (Christian Puppets) and is ranking well for very many other keywords and phrases too. Even though we paid for this service, we still want to say thank you for the quality of service that you are providing. It doesn't seem like you get what you pay for too often these days, but we definitely feel like we have gotten our money's worth with you. Thank you and keep up the good work!" Andriea

"That was a really interesting and informative newsletter. Prior to the re-calibration of the toolbar in 2007 my site was a PR4. I then joined your program and some other stupid ones that gave me thousands of links. I remember complaining to you about a year ago how my PR had dropped to 2. It then even dropped to 1. You told me the problem was the thousands of incoming links and to get rid of them...finally I listened. The site is back to PR3 :) Thanks for taking the time to write to us, it's easy to make time to read valuable information." Don

"Well, I guess I'll be writing a proper letter of reference shortly for you. I just thought you'd like to know that with you help, guidance and patience with my frustrated "but I want it now" attitude, the Unique Roasts site now ranks between 6 and 9 on Google under my preferred search terms. Beating out much larger and certainly older site. My one way links are almost entirely thought your system. In short both your one way link service and optimization service are both extremely effective and well worth the very small investment." Scott

I REALLY appreciate that you are auditing this system (as much trouble as I can imagine it would be). I does bring more value to the system, rather than being some "automated link farm" - the type that seems to exist in mass out there. Miker

"I have just sent the renewal payment to you via PayPal. Thank you for your message and all its informative contents. We have been very happy with the results of your program during the last year. It has obviously played a large part in the increased success of our website performance, which in turn has greatly increased our bookings in our Bed & Breakfast business in France. We find that in quite a few key phrases we are coming in the first one or two pages in Google and we are usually on one of the first three pages in Google with the phrase "Bed and Breakfast in France". We do also have a reciprocal links program with travel related sites and we will take your advice and be more selective with these in the future. Many thanks again, and we wish you and all involved in the links program, continued success." Sandra

"Thank you Ken! You are a good guy; you take the time to write relevant, informative email replies to all my inquiries. Ken, you have produced astounding results for me with my domains through both optimization and your linking building service, and I have 100% confidence in you. The industry which you target (SEO) is a very gray market industry. Your service is the best in the industry, you really do provide personal service, 150% professionalism, and you produce results. Fabulous work, I don't think I could imagine anyone doing things better than you in this market. For you to do your work most effectively the client must have trust in you, all your clients should be confident that they have the best in the industry on their side! Don’t stop being the best!"

| The HandSubmit One-Way Links Program (H.O.W.L)
|
Something to howl about!
The HandSubmit One-Way Links Program directs to you one-way inbound-only links. The program subscribers are divided into three pods (A, B, C). The pods are balanced for site themes (e.g. travel sites, hosting sites, etc.) and PageRank. Members of Pod A provide links including 100 words of anchor text to members in Pod B. Members of Pod B provides the same to each member of Pod C. Each member of Pod C provides the same to each member of Pod A. Eureka! One-way links!
The number of websites in each pod depends on the total subscriber base. That will vary and tend to increase. Presently there are over 550 member websites. That means about 170+ non-reciprocal links pointing to the partners in each Pod and improving their link popularity. That is a lot of one-way links, all legitimate, real working websites. Further, throughout the membership year, as new subscribers sign on, they will be added to the program and further help you in building link popularity.
See example links partners page.

| The Dao of Links Popularity
|
In Chinese Daoist philosophy birth is the coming together of Yin and Yang (opposites that arise together and depend upon one another), death is the disperal of Yin and Yang. Health is the balance between Yin and Yang and illness an imbalance between the two. One example of Yang is strength. An example of Yin is weakness. Is it better to be strong than weak? Not necessarily. It is better to have a balance between the two. Too much strength is associated with aggressiveness and brittleness. Some weakness is associated with suppleness and flexibility. The single biggest mistake webmasters make is the mistake of too much Yang. What inspired this harangue? I just came from a competitor's site boasting about how he'd have 1,000 one way back-links up for you within 24 hours. Duh!! Spam-linking penalty for sure.
Nature is the harmonious balance between Yin and Yang. Is it natural to receive 1000 links in 24 hours? In the real and natural world would 1000 people discover your site and all put up a link to you in 24 hours? The engines are smart enough to know that is not natural and they simply penalize those links as being artificial and unnatural. Don't be too aggressive; don't be too strong. Appreciate the balance between Yin and Yang.
In our program you will receive the links naturally over the course of some weeks. All comes to he who is patient.
Most of my link building clients are also optimization clients so I can't just take the money and run. I have long term relationships with these folks some lasting as long as six years now. We talk about site issues several times a year and I have to offer them a links service that actually works. One with accountability!

| Primer on Link Popularity
|
Link popularity is an off-site method for promoting website rankings. It is determined by the number and quality of external incoming links to your site. External incoming links are links on other sites that point to yours.
Search engines consider link popularity important because they see links from other sites to yours as a kind of recommendation or guarantee of the worth of your site.
Link popularity arose as a ranking factor because so many people used spamming techniques to position their site higher in the rankings. Engines started to use link popularity as a means of dampening that impact. Assigning a link popularity value to a website based on number of incoming quality links pointing to it was deemed an effective way to determine whether a site had useful content or not because if other people think it does, then surely it must.
Of course, this has not stopped people from finding ways to artifically inflate their link popularity to exploit this search engine ranking factor.
|
The above text mentions that link popularity involves both the number and the quality of inbound links to your site. The term PageRank refers to the quantification of these factors. PageRank or PR is a measure of how important a page is. Note that I said ‘page’, not ‘site’. A page has PR, not a site. Acquiring PageRank is more complicated that just acquiring a quantity of links. The quality of a link has great influence on PageRank. A quality link is a link coming into your site from a site that itself has a good page rank (PR4 or above). In other words, if a popular site links to your site it really helps your popularity. Google has PR10, by the way. But don’t expect them to link to you.
PageRank is the “second” part of a two part search engine algorithm. Part one pertains to ‘on the page’ ranking criteria like the title tag, the metatags, keyword position on the page and so on (standard optimization variables). The second factor involves link popularity meaning 1) the number of relevant inbound links from other sites, 2) where the links come from (i.e. high PageRank pages) and 3) that the Anchor Tag Text contains your keywords (more on this below). Simply put, if all else is equal or near equal, then the page determined to have the best Page Rank will rank higher.

| How Link Popularity is Built:
|
One-way links are just what it says. You get a link without having to give a link back. One-way links count a lot more than swapping links. They appear to be a truer endorsement of your site, an endorsement that says your site must really be good because there was no quid pro quo (i.e. no reciprocation).
Many of you already have the most valuable one-way link on the internet, a listing in the dmoz.org directory (Open Directory Project). The dmoz link provides a highly relevant, on topic, one way link. That is one of the main reasons people pull out their hair over trying to get in there. Another good one is a link from the Yahoo directory but that costs $299. Don't do that one until you have truly optimized your site as you need to try to influence the editor vetted Yahoo description so that it will benefit your rankings. But regardless, the link is a good one. Most other directories have little value.
|
In the last couple of years webmasters have worked very hard to develop reciprocal links with other sites. The reasoning has been that although one-way links (inbound only) might be more valuable than reciprocal links, they are almost impossible to get, but you can get some inbound links if you offer a link in return. The birth of reciprocal linking.
But the engines are not stupid. Reciprocal links are hardly an indication of the worth of a site. Most reciprocal links are a device to artifically inflate link popularity to exploit this particular search engine ranking factor. According to Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Watch editor: “Google combats these attempts by identifying what it considers "artificial" link structures and adjusting or eliminating their influence in the rankings. Google has also recently taken action against reciprocal link pages, link "farms," and guest books, downplaying their importance in its link analysis algorithms.” (See: http://www.clickz.com/search/opt/article.php/1025331)
|
By the way, some companies selling individual text links charge as much as $8-$16 for a PR3/4 link and $65 a month for a PR6. When you join our program, you will be paying much less than $1 per link, for valuable one-way links including PR5 and PR6 links. Why so cheap? Well, because our partners are in this to help themselves by helping one another. My fee of $150 is just to manage the program.
|
| And from the forum moderator at Webmaster World: "The way it is going with everyone hunting for links and the easiest way out being asking for reciprocal links, it would seem that long term, reciprocal links will be worth less than one way links. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours is ok for sending each other visitors (the original idea of links), but the question is if it will account for the same as a straight one-way link.” Actually, that boat left the dock more than a year ago with reciprocal links being now greatly devalued.
|
Anchor text is the text a site uses to link to your site, basically it is text describing your services or products or why the site is linking to you.
If you were giving me a one-way link the anchor text might look like:
|
HandSubmit.COM offers seo services to small businesses. Search engine optimization and hand or manual submission for only $102. This sole proprietor guarantees personal service and no month submission fees. Same day reply and complimentary pre-optimization analysis.
|
| Ideally, anchor text precedes, surrounds or follows a text link going to your site.
|
| The Myth of Relevant Links
|
While most believe that the best links are from sites that are thematically related to your own site, that really only applies to reciprocal linking programs. The best link for the Alaska Fishing Charter business is not the reciprocal link from the bait-cutter down the road but the one-way, non-reciprocal link from the Iowa banker who chartered one of the company's boats last summer and is now recommending the company via her 'average PR' personal website.
Giving weight to thematically related reciprocal links is just the search engine's way of controling for spam linking and the thousands of reciprocal links people pick up in order to artificially inflate their popularity. To not count any of them would be to no longer value link popularity in the search engine algorithms. And, of course, some of the links may well be legitimate votes of popularity. So, the engines compromised and opted to give credit for thematically related links. This is not an issue with non-reciprocal linking since the links are perceived to be legitimate by virture of the simple fact that they are not reciprocal.
To confirm the above just go to Google and check out the websites credited with linking to this site, One-Way-Links.com, a PR5 site. Very few if any would met the test of 'relevance'. They say, nothing spreads like a lie and that nothing is bigger than something of mythic proportions; 'relevance' is a small truth exxagerated into a myth to suit the needs of certain SEO companies and article writers (associated with those companies). The proof can be found in most any search at Google.

| "Old-fashioned service? I'm old enough to remember when they used to deliver milk right to your door. That was back in the early 1950s. The thick glass bottle usually had a thick plug of cream at the top and on Friday my mom always got Vico -- chocolate milk! That was real service back then and I pledge to serve you by providing you with legitimate one-way links from hard-working web sites many of whom have been clients of HandSubmit.COM for several years, many with PR4 or better." - Ken Sproul
