Public speaking is a massive market with all kinds of smaller markets within it. Often the segmented markets are higher volume search terms than the more general ‘public speaking’ keyphrase.

For example, while the phrase ‘public speaking’ gets nearly 800 searches per day across all search engines, the phrase ‘wedding speeches’ receives a whopping 5500. So by narrowing your target audience and creating a more niched product or site, you can claim a larger search volume.

I previously had a guest post about Using New Directories to Get Free Backlinks.  The guest writer wrote about submitting your articles to new directories, in order to get listed quicker, in turn having the link crawled and counted quicker.  He had a link to his website, where he had a huge list of directories for link building.

Well, I have come across a great SEO Friendly Directory List.

You can find that list at Directory Maximizer.

Scroll down to where you see a link for “our directory list” and click that link.

As of writing this, they have 800+ SEO Friendly Directories, with links to the directory for easy browsing.  They even have a little button which lists the PageRank of each directory.  Directories can be very beneficial with regards to link building, and this site has done the hard work finding the ones that are SEO friendly (don’t use redirects, are dofollow, etc.)

But, submitting to directories, and let’s be honest, link building in general, can be very, very boring and tedious.  I have a site dedicated to link building, and I still find link building to be very, very boring.  That’s why there are people who are willing to do the boring work, and get paid to do it.

Directory Maximizer is one of those places.  If you don’t want to spend any money for link building, then just go to the list above and start manually submitting to the directories.

But, if you’d like links to your site to appear in some good SEO friendly directories, and don’t want to have to do the work, then I’d definitely suggest using Directory Maximizer and have them submit to the directories for you.

Here’s what you get if you choose to let them do the work for you:

• Permanent links… with no reciprocal linking required.  That means one-way links to your site.
• As mentioned above, SEO friendly directories only are used.
• They allow you to choose 5 different titles and descriptions, for more “natural” looking submissions.
• There are a bunch of category choices, and a wide range of niches.
• You can submit to all, or specific directories, submit by PageRank, and even control the pace at which they make the submissions, so that you don’t get way too many links at once.
• They greatly increase the probability of your site being approved in the directories by making sure they meet all of the guidelines and post in the most relevant category.
• They are constantly adding new sites so you can always get new links.
• They help to avoid duplicate submissions on future orders (if you choose to not submit to all) because they keep track of previous submissions.
• They provide you with live reports of the submission progress.
• You can manage and submit multiple sites to the directories from one account.
• You can even earn FREE SUBMISSIONS every time you use their services.
• You can place orders for as little as $5 (think, you just got a lil extra cash in your paypal, why not link build with it.  You don’t have to spend hundreds at a time!)
• And the best part, each submission is only 14cents!  So, that’s 100 submissions for only $14!

Click here to sign-up for Directory Maximizer, and let them do the directory submissions for you.

Or, if you don’t want to spend money, just use their freely available list of SEO friendly directories and start submitting to the sites yourself, and get some great backlinks!

You’ve probably heard of social bookmarking before. If you haven’t, it’s not all that complicated. It’s just a way for users to store their bookmarks online. And here’s why this is hot for the end-user…

Basically, if all your favorite webpages are online; they aren’t limited by the computer you’re on. You can access them from your work or home computer just as easily as a public computer at the library.

Also, instead of putting them in folders you create (like the old fashioned way you’re forced to organize things in your Internet Explorer favorites tab), your bookmarks are accessible by tags. That means you can assign a single bookmark to multiple categories (in case you’re like me and forget if your Mambo Templates site was in the CMS Folder or the Blog Folder).

Is acne treatment a niche with potential or not? Let’s break it down here.

The word “Acne” is searched for an estimated 3,550 times per day across all the search engines.

But you’re probably thinking, ‘how hard would it be to rank for that term’? Probably pretty tough, but did you know that the first page of Google for this broad search term has sites on it with only a PageRank (PR) of 5? Although that’s competitive, it’s still possible for you to achieve.
