Hi Friend,

Dave and Aaron here. Welcome to Issue #40 of the
"Your Journey to Freedom" newsletter.

We hope you had an enjoybale and prosperous week.

Wow, another week gone already. Don't they just seem to
fly by when you're having fun :-)

That's why you have to act fast on what we're about to tell
you. The way that time seems to be passing us by, you risk
missing out if you don't act while it's still fresh in your
mind.

If you're thinking about starting an online business (or
even if you already have an established online presence),
but you haven't yet decided on a webhost or where you
going to get all the services and products you need to be
successful, then we've got some very important news for you.

We've just decided that as at 1st September, 2004 we'll be
discontinuing the $4.95 special 30-day trial we offer to
new members of our site at Infinite Revenue. This info is
hot of the press and we haven't even had time to update our
website yet.

Plus at the same time we'll also be increasing the monthly
membership fee to $34.95, which by the way is still a
fantastic value for the service we provide.

And NO... we're not blowing our own trumphet. This is what
our members keep telling us and if you like you can check
out what they have to sat at:
http://www.infinite-revenue.com/testimonials.htm

We (and our members) believe Infinite Revenue is without
question, the best membership site on the net. Our one-on-
one support is unprecidented and to be honest it's what
sets us apart from all the other sites going around.

So if you want to lock in your membership and only pay
$4.95 for the first month and then $27 for the life of
your membership (it will NEVER change), then you'd better
make up your mind fast and jump onboard to get the lower
price... while you still can.

Otherwise you risk missing out on the 30-day trial,
plus you'll have to pay full membership price.

Check out the site and make your own mind up. If you want,
you can lock in your membership while you're there:

Nuff rambling for today... enjoy the newsletter.

Your friends,

Dave and Aaron

Top Tips for Requesting a Reciprocal Link

While most webmasters agree that reciprocal linking is a
very good way of increasing web site traffic, get your
reciprocal link request wrong, and you won't get the link.

To make sure you don't this mistake, here are some
important tips for requesting a link from a potential link
partner:

1. Make sure your entire web site looks professional.
Nobody is going to link to a scrappy or unprofessional
looking website.

2. Whether you use a linkbot or not, you must carry out
some physical research on any potential link partner's
website.

i) You need to answer these questions:

- Is the website of a similar or complementary theme
  to your website?

- Is the website content useful?

- Does the website look professional?

The key is to look at the website content from your
visitor's point of view. They clicked a link on your
website to find more information, make sure the
content at their destination is worthwhile.

ii) Traffic to a new website will come almost entirely
from reciprocal links. To maximize the traffic
through your reciprocal links, check out your
potential link partners "Links" or "Resource" page:

- Are the links useful?

- Are the links logically grouped and easy to search?

- Are there less than thirty links for each category?

(You will not get any traffic from a page that has
more than this)

- Do they look appealing?

- Are the links of a similar or complementary theme
  to the main website?

3. If the website is worth linking to, locate and copy the
"link code" that the Web site owner would prefer you to
use for their reciprocal link, such as:

- Link title

- Link URL

- Link description

You need to make a note of the web page you would
like your link to appear in, and if the website has a
categorized link directory, the category.

4. Find the contact details for the owner of the website.

The increased harvesting of email addresses means that
not many webmasters will put an email link on their
website, most will use a contact form.

Try to find the name of the owner. Many website owners
have a web page about themselves or their business.

5. Using the link information you found during your
research, make an html link which points to your
potential link partner and upload it to your links page.

The only time it is acceptable to use information
"discovered" by your linkbot is if you can't find any
linking information during your research.

6. Contacting the owner or webmaster for a reciprocal link
will mean you must do one of the following:

- Fill in their link submission form.

- Contact them using their contact form.

- Send them an email (This is the last resort). Sending
emails to the WhoIs contact details is the same as
spamming, DON'T DO IT.

Use pre-written templates of linking letters that you
can copy and paste into the contact form or your email
program.

To ensure the email looks personal, fill in the
following "gaps" on the template:

- The web site owners name. Don't use Hi John, or Hello
  John, use Dear John. If you can't find the owner's
  name don't use any salutation at all.

- The URL of the web page where you would like you link
  to appear. If necessary, state the category you would
  like your link to appear in.

- The full URL of the reciprocal link on your website.

- The title of your link.

- The URL of your link.

- The description of your link.

Make sure you state your email address and your website
URL after your name at the end of the email.

If your website has a low Google PR, state this and tell
your potential link partner that your website is new,
does not have a high Google PR and linking with you will
not do their Google PR any good.

Tell them you have a policy of linking with quality
sites that have a similar or complimentary theme and
consequently your Google PR is going to steadily
increase, as will the number of people visiting their
website from their link on your web page.

Anybody receiving a link request written using these tips
will be more inclined to swap links with you because you
have taken the time to check out their web site and your
professional approach will have a positive subconscious
effect on their decision.

Are You Using Your Thank You Pages Effectively
by Michael Hall
http://www.urllog.com/bsmbahamas/thank_you_pages

Have you heard of thank you pages? These are the paghes
you see after you sign up for a free newsletter or buy a
product or service. Usually they will just say thank you
for doing whatever you just did and sometimes tell you to
check your email for details.

Now some savvy internet marketer thought to himself why
don't I use this page to recommend a related(or sometimes
unrelated) product.

Then someone thought why don't I swap my thank you page
space with other webmasters, that way I can get some fresh
faces to see my ads as well as an implied endorsement from
the site owner. Set up a couple of these and you can easily
get a ton of visitors, optin subscriptions or affiliate
sales.

Now most people are content with just using a popup, exit
popup or those DHTML pop-in ads ... these are fine and
still work well(I use them too), but the problem with them
is that you are still trying to convert traffic that *you*
generated for your webpage.

By trading thank you page space you tap into an external
stream of visitors that were not already at your site.
More specifically you are targetting the traffic from
the other webmasters marketing and promotion efforts and
also receiving an implied endorsement.

Since the visitor has already done what they were expected
to do using the thank you page to present an offer won't
effect whether the visitor did what he was supposed to do
to arrive at the thank you page. They only see it after
they respond to the offer.

It is a good chance that you have repeat visitors to your
website, these people won't be signing up again unless you
present a different offer of course. So why not use a
rotating popup and link each pop up to a specific or
rotating thank you page? This way returning visitors can
have a chance to see new offers and also get directed to a
new thank you page after each new offer.

Now you can present many offers and link them directly to
different thank you pages with different recommendations,
and your returning visitors will see new offers each time
they visit. Offer a few free ebooks, reports or courses
using a rotating popup and link them to unique thank you
page offers.

This new website allows you to find thank you page partners
and they have also found a way to make it viral at the
same time http://www.urllog.com/bsmbahamas/thank_you_ads
