Balkhis - Vision For Success

Good looking website can earn you backlinks

Free Backlinks?? Everyone wants them. These are not just any backlinks, but these backlinks are from some highly popular galleries that will send you tons of traffic along with a strong backlink only if you have a good looking site.

I have been using these galleries to stay updated with the current designs, and I often use them for my inspiration also. Why I never submit my designs to these galleries. Because I am a fan of tables. Tables make my life easy (Less problems as in with browser compatibilities) whereas paddings have issues with different browsers. Therefore when I make a website that I know I will be managing in the future, I make it with tables. Many others prefer CSS because it makes your site look much more neater, works faster, and everything is organized. If you want one of the sites like those feel free to contact Uzzz Productions. If you have a good looking website that is entirely based on CSS, than you are eligible for a backlink from these quality webdesign galleries.

Advertising Banners and grabbing attention

Sorry guys I am not very active on the blog because I am away, but I am trying to do my one post a day promise. In this post i will be talking about the use of advertising banners, and how some of them are trying this technique that is grabbing attention of the users.

Noticing this now a days, it is happening more and more that the banners contain female models in the lesser clothes. One of my main reasons for stop displaying Shopping Ads… even though it was getting clicks, but it was making my site look very cheap because i had those ads displayed below every post, and all I see was a women in their bakini watching TV and it was a Online TV Advertising.

Now believe it or not fellas, that does get alot of attention. If you put a Girl’s picture in the banner rather than a guy’s picture you are tend to get more results because it is proven by Psychology that both men and women like feminine style faces. Now do you need the indecent exposure?? I dont want it for me, neither do I need it, but some people say it is necessary as it grabs attention.

But there are other creative ways to get attention as well.

I remember aviva directory used to have one which said Most users can’t even find their own ass, how are they going to find your website, list them in aviva and help them find your website.

I would’ve posted it here, but Jeff i think removed it, but there are other creative ways that you can use .. using analogies and such.

OK Jeff posted in the comment so here is the banner

Aviva Directory

My question to you guys is do you think it really makes the ad attractive it have a hot girl standing half naked?

Using Digg for your advantage

Digg is one of the nicer resource for blog in the market. What is digg? Basically a website which lets you submit an article or story which people can vote for (digg) and make it popular. I always thought about how to get my posts to get dugg by many users because i have a new blog. Even if i post a phenomenal topic, it won’t get noticed because i only have so many users. And NO, you cannot buy diggs because it is against the Terms of Service (TOS).

How you can use digg for advertising?

It is very simple. Just have an article, and submit it in digg if you think it is worthy. Now don’t go submit all of your articles because you can be banned. But you may submit the cool ones that you think other might want to know. This will get your site some exposure.

How to get more Diggs on your post?

Local Advertising, Key to your Success

We are running a web business, but we do not live on the web, and people who you are targetting also does not live on the web. They most certainly browse the web often, but not live on the web. I found the success point of business is to be in local advertising. For every business branding is necessary, and you have to start somewhere. While i was promoting Balkhis on the web, I actually decided to promote it locally in the Gainesville community. So i decided to get some shirts with Balkhis logo on it and started distributing it to close friends.

Yes that is necessary. All of my friends really supported me and helped me by wearing the shirt around, and you will not believe how many people will ask you. Hey What is Balkhis? I went to this group thing for an association, and this was a completely public event. I went and sat with some people, and this one girl asked hey what is Balkhis? Is that a new brand or something. I said yeah this is my brand, and then i explained to her and all who were sitting on my table, and they were really impressed.

Words getting around…. Now you will see that from my friends the words moved onto their friends, and Balkhis spreaded across the town. Now i have majority of my traffic from my friends and supporters here in Gainesville. While alot of it is coming from other places, but a big chunk of the traffic is from Gainesville. This gives my U.S traffic a little boost. Now if you live in United States you should actually use this to your advantage because there are alot of the affiliates program i see on Azoogle Ads that specifically requires United States traffic and they have one of the highest payouts.

There is a Video inside the full post so don’t forget to watch it ;)

Increase subscribers to your blog


I was looking at my subscribers that i gaines in one month and i was quiet happy with the number. I have 87 Subscribers on Balkhis which is quiet an accomplishment for one month the blog has been launched. Or atleast i think so. I believe if i go at the rate i have been going for the past couple days it won’t be far away that i reach 1000. Now i analyzed strategies of other bloggers as well as used common sense and advices that i recieved from online friends to achieve this. Here are some of the things i notice that helped me increasing the subscribers.

You need to have the RSS Button embedded into your design and have it stand out. As you see many top bloggers such as Shoemoney, John Chow, and many others have the RSS Button on their site stand out. You will notice top quality blog designers will make sure that you have the rss button visible to your user without having to scroll the page. When i designed Balkhis, i read alot about rss and embedded it in the design at the top of the page.

Next thing you want to do is…. Read on the full post.
