This week has seen a few changes on the home based business site.

Firstly the new page ranks are out. The website was given a PR3 rating. A good start. I really want to progress to the point where its rated a 5 or 6.

To this end I’ll keep writing articles and adding links.

Latest addition to the link program is Link-Vault. This free program places your links on member sites in proportion to the number of links displayed. Means that your link will appear on a selection of targetted sites, some of which will be high value. I’m expecting some good traffic from this.

Also added a couple of pages:

* One on web site hosting to provide information on good web hosts.

* The other on keywords as they are important in so many aspects of the internet.

Have made minor changes to the index page by adding a few more links and changing the Adwords layout a little.

Sometimes, link building is more than just searching out sites to request links from. Sometimes you have to get creative in how you build links.

In this article, we look at another way of building links that doesn’t really require you to go out and search for relevant sites to request links from.

The web is growing at a phenomenal rate.

Technorati, a popular blog search and syndication site estimates that the blogosphere alone doubles in size every 5 months. As of the end of July 2005, Technorati was tracking over 14.2 million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links.

Who knows how much the rest of the web grows? I would bet that while it doesn’t double every 5 months its rate of growth is pretty impressive.

It is because of this growth in the web that other forms of link building become somewhat easier. I am talking about building links through content creation and publishing.

Chances are you are reading this article on the Text Link Brokers blog, or one of a number of syndication partners who agree to republish the article with links intact.
Through such syndication, you could come across this article through a variety of high profile websites on the web. In addition, these high profile sites are industry specific.

This means that any links I embed into this article (which is then syndicated) will ultimately point back to this site on important key phrases.

Think about this, for the time it takes me to write this article, I could have built as many as 2 dozen high quality, keyword rich links back to both the main site as well as the blog site.

Normally, for me to build 2 dozen high quality links for one of my clients I’d have to start with a list of about 500 somewhat related sites, filtering out those that are lower quality and submitting to 50 to 100 sites in hopes of achieving those 20 or so links.

And it has been my experience that I would be lucky to achieve 5 to 10 links from that initial list of 500 sites.
All this would have taken me about 5 or 6 hours – even longer if I hadn’t used a few tools to help gather those links.

As you surf the net, you will come across a wide variety of business opportunities. Invariably, each one will claim to have the best compensation plan available and many will claim to offer “residual income”. However, a cursory examination of many of these pay plans will reveal that, although there may be a very real earning opportunity, it cannot truly be described as residual income.

What exactly is residual income anyway? Simply put, residual income can be defined as any payment system where you receive regular, ongoing payments as a result of a single sale. The frequency of the payments may vary – they could be weekly, monthly, quarterly etc. – but they are regular and ongoing with no further selling activity once the initial sale has been made.

Some potential residual income opportunities are listed below:

* Telephone calls and line rental
* Mobile phone supply, line rental and calls.
* Electricity supply .
* Gas supply.
* Web hosting supply.
* Autoresponder supply (monthly rental).
* Any software which is supplied based on a rental basis.
* Property rental.

These are just a few examples, there are plenty more. Any product or service which is provided on a lease or rental agreement has the potential to provide you with residual income. Ideally, your customer will automatically renew each week/month without any requirement for action (effort) by either your or your customer.
