By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.

What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free. Before discovering Maverick Money Makers, I was solely using this and made few hundreds of dollars. I recommend this for newbie marketers because it is affordable and easy to comprehend.

Anyway, Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and the 2007 2.0 update he is now releasing his third version of Blogging to the Bank helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.

I got this book as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010 that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success in 2009 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers withtodays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2010.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.

As a newbie, the main problem that one may have is how to make your site popular, how to make it known to the online world. Considering that there are millions of blogs out there that you need to outrank. Some are existing years ago in which you need to compete with. Building link popularity might be a scary thought for some newbies but I have found ways on how to solve this problem.

This blog is barely legal (I mean young, not the porn one, LOL). I have read many articles online on how to increase my blog’s popularity and so far I can say that I am quite successful. I am now ranked 1,470,125th worldwide in Alexa. See screenshot below.

Alexa Ranking of my Site

I have read books of Michael Cheney, Brad Callen, Rob Benwell, Michael Jones, A. Thomas Perhacs, Adeel Chowdry and Bobby Walker, Soren Jordansen, Rosalind Gardner, Alvin Phang, Jamie Lewis, Michael Jones, Adam Short and Alen Sutanic to name a few. At first it was really information overload. But according Alvin Phang, you really need to take action. You will really get overwhelmed by the bulk of information that you will be encountering. And all these will be useless and you won’t get to something if you will not move your butt out and do something. Implement what you have learned. You have paid a lot for those coaching ebooks, monthly membership sites, softwares. Don’t let them be put to waste. And don’t ask a refund, when in fact you haven’t done anything to improve your site.

I’ll show you how I have attained a high ranking in Alexa. This is through my mentor and previous employer, Michael Cheney. Yes, I am part of his Delta Squadron team.

Anyway, I’ll just copy his exact words so you won’t miss a single detail, alright?

How To Increase Your Link Popularity In Just Four Simple Steps

Many people believe that link popularity and exchanging links to increase your traffic and your website ranking is no longer a worthwhile exercise. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Swapping links is still one of the best ways to get highly targeted traffic into your web site and to improve your search engine ranking.

But how do you actually go about doing it? What I have created for you in this article is a simple four-step guide to increasing your link popularity. So let’s get started.


Step 1: Do the research.

All too often I see people approaching other web site owners to exchange links when there is no real relevance in doing so. You need to find websites that are not in competition with you but at least will be visited by people that will also visit your website. To try and get into this mindset, think about where visitors that are coming to your site will have been before they land on your page.

What else will they be thinking about buying or what other services did I need. Are there other products or services that your visitors might be considering before during or after they come to your website.

These are the types of sites you need to approach. On the other hand, don’t always restrict your approach for link exchanges to sites that are too related to yours.

You need to broaden your horizons a little bit but not so much that the search engines will see that the links you are getting are irrelevant.

Step 2: Link to them first.

One of the biggest mistakes I see people making in link exchanges is that they don’t actually place the link to the other site on their site first. You need to place the link to the person you are actually contacting on your site first.

This way you can contact them and direct them to the page to prove to them that you have already taken the time to create a description, a title and a link to their web site.

Step 3: You need to contact them.

When you contact the person who you are hoping to exchange links with try and be a little different. Keep your email short, concise and to the point. Try and use the word you as often as you can.

You might also want to consider actually telephoning them. This might sound extreme but as more and more people are using the idea of link exchanges you need to think of different ways stand out from the crowd.

Step 4: Always follow up.

If you are anything like me it could often take two or even three reminders to act on a link exchange. So don’t be disheartened if somebody doesn’t get back to you immediately. Maybe send them another email a week later telling them that their link is still active on your site and you would like them to reciprocate.

What I would advise against doing is issuing a warning saying their link will be removed if they do not get back to you. This to me creates a bad atmosphere in the email and it is likely to have a negative effect.

So there, if you implement Michael Cheney’s advice, I believe that you will get a high ranking site in no time just like me. You will get targeted traffic to boost your online earnings.

Talk to you soon,
