General |
| Do you offer a full report when you are done? |
Yes, we offer a full report of everything when we complete your order and order systems sends you an email when we start processing, update, or complete your order. For directory submissions and article marketing, we report the directory, PR, and category we picked when we submitted your site while for social bookmarking, we send you the URLs of the profile pages where you can see the bookmark. |
| When should I expect to see results? |
You should begin to see backlinks right away via Yahoo Site Explorer as the submissions go on. Generally, you'll see keyword ranking improvements using social bokmarking within a few weeks, while the full results of directory submissions and article marketing will take around 3 months. This is because social bookmarking links are immediate, while directory submissions and article marketing have an approval process that can take up to a few months, plus it then takes time for Google to find and index those links. |
| Do you support adult/foreign language type sites? What do you recommend for that? |
Yes, we certainly are able to promote adult and foreign language websites. For both of these, we'd recommend directory submissions, social bookmarking on unique accounts, and article marketing on unique accounts. For foreign websites, the best chance would be to have everything written in English with the link linking to your website. Squidoo/Hubpages would also be a suitable service for foreign language type sites but not for adult sites. |
Order Entering |
| What do these title/description/keywords/etc. fields mean? |
- Title: This is the anchor text of the link you'd like to promote. For example, if you would like to rank highly for "woogy boogy", you'd put "woogy boogy" down as the title text. This should be around 8-50 characters and should be 2-5 words.
- Description/Short Description: Just a description of the website ranging from 100-150 characters. This isn't nearly as important as the title tag/anchor text, so don't need to worry about this one too much.
- Description/Long Description: Same as the short description except the optimal range should be 400-500 characters.
- Keywords: These are just around 5 tags that are related to your site. Note that this is not the anchor text of your link.
- Resource Box: A summary of yourself or your website. This is the primary means by which you'll gain backlinks in article marketing. For example, if your site is about blue widgets, you'd write something like "<a href='http://www.bluewidgets.com'>Blue Widgets</a> has various types of blue widgets for sale". You can include up to 2 backlinks in each resource box.
|
| Do you allow more than one title/url/description? What do I do if I want to rotate titles and descriptions? |
Yes, we allow as many variations as you'd like for titles/keywords/descriptions/etc. Simply separate each entry with a ~. For example, if you are promoting your website goodstuff.com and would like to use the titles "Awesome Stuff", "Good Stuff", "Great Stuff", simply enter in the Title field "Awesome Stuff ~ Good Stuff ~ Great Stuff". |
| Can I just give you my web address and you can fill in order information for me? |
Yes, certainly. We can enter all your orders for you including writing descriptions and researching anchor text, etc. There is a $2 charge/order if we are writing the descriptions, etc. for you and a $.50 charge/order if we are just entering it for you. |
Order Payment |
| What forms of payment do you accept? |
We accept paypal, credit cards, and echecks from certain countries. Our payment processing is done by paypal and your order gets entered automatically. Simply go to any service page such as http://www.wlmarketing.com/directory-submission-service.html, click on Buy, fill out the form, and click on the paypal payment button to checkout. |
| Do you have discounts for bulk orders? How does that work? |
We offer bulk discounts if you prepay ahead of time. To use this offer, go to the form here: http://www.wlmarketing.com/bulk-order-discount.html and purchase the appropriate package. Your account will be credited immediately. For example, if you bought a 20% discount on $1000 package, you would pay $1000 and get $1200 of credits in your account. Then you can spend the credits on any of our services listed on the website. |
| How do I pay with credits? |
Credits work the same way as the paypal checkout. Simply go to any service page, click on "Buy", fill in the appropriate details, and click "Proceed" to add the item to the cart. If you have enough credits to cover the total amount on your cart, a link will appear that says "Pay With Credits". Then just click on that link and your orders will be entered into our system and the appropriate credit amounts deducted. |
Order Processing |
| What if I want to change my order details after I've submitted my orders? |
As long as your order is in the "New" status (meaning we haven't started processing your order yet), you can edit your order details by logging into your account, going to "View Orders", clicking on the appropriate order ID, and clicking on the "Edit Order Details" button. |
| Where can I find the report? |
When the order has been completed, please log in to your account, go to the appropriate order, and the report will be attached under the "Reports" section. |
Directory Submission |
| Do the larger packages include the smaller ones? |
Yes, if you order the 1000 Directory Submissions, it will include all directories in the 50, 150, and 300 directory submissions. The 300 directory submissions would include the ones in the 50 and 150 and so on. |
| What's the benefit of slow submissions? |
For sites that are brand new, Google doesn't like it if you get too many backlinks at the same time. To solve this, we will submit a smaller amount of directories each week. This'll allow a consistent amount of links to flow in over a period of time, which if combined with a diverse set of anchor texts, will make the entire process look very natural. If you have an established site though, there is no need to do this as it takes a while for directories to approve your website, and then a bit longer for Google to index those links, you'll get links spaced out over time anyway. |
| Why are slow submissions more expensive than normal submissions? |
Slow submissions take more time to coordinate, which is why there is an extra charge for the overhaed. Imagine doing 1 directory submissions per day over 1000 days vs. doing 1000 directory submissions all at once. |
| Do I need to submit to the same directories multiple times? How long do the links last for? |
Nope, there is no need to do that. All the links in the directories are permanent as long as the directory is around (and presuming that your link gets approved), so there is no need to resubmit. |
| I've already submitted to some directories - can you skip over them? |
Yes, definitely. When ordering, please list these directories (one per line) under "Directories To Exclude". |
| Can I submit a subpage? |
While we currently have not filtered out the list of directories that accept subpages, you can certainly do that. The acceptance rate will be lower than the normal submissions, but should still be worth it from a ROI perspective. |
Social Bookmarking |
| What's the difference between unique and regular social bookmarks? |
Regular social bookmarking is where we open one social bookmarking account on a variety of social bookmarking sites and then bookmark many people's websites on each of these accounts. The plus of this is that this can look more natural because the accounts have constant activity. However, it is also more susceptible to being banned in case a future customer's bookmark cause the account to have issues. Additionally, the link power coming out of that page is split amongst many people, making the link less valuable. There is also the additional caveat that your site will get scrolled off the first page in the profile of the user of that site, making it the effect more temporary.
Unique bookmarks, on the other hand, are where we register accounts on the social bookmarking sites just for you. This way, you get more link power since there is just one outbound link on the profile page and it'll never scroll off the front page. |
| Can I bookmark subpages? |
Yes, you can absolutely do this. In fact, this is the natural use of social bookmarking - to bookmark interesting content and is highly recommended. |
| How often should I order social bookmarking? |
We'd recommend our slow submission packages that does around 100 social bookmarks per week. This allows a consistent flow of links to your site and is relatively natural. |
Article Marketing |
| Can you write the article for me or do I have to write it? |
Yes, our packages do include writing a well researched, copyscaped passed article for you. Please pick the ones that say "Article Writing + Submission ..." if you'd like us to write the article. Alternatively, if you'd like to just submit the article, please pick the "Submission to ..." packages and paste your article in the order form. |
| What should I put in the 'Resource Box' field in the order form? |
A summary of yourself or your website. This is the primary means by which you'll gain backlinks in article marketing. For example, if your site is about blue widgets, you'd write something like "<a href='http://www.bluewidgets.com'>Blue Widgets</a> has various types of blue widgets for sale". You can include up to 2 backlinks in each resource box. |
