Blog is moving!

The Official Neurolinker Blog has now moved to a new location on the Neurolinker website. I decided it was better to have the blog actually located on the Neurolinker site so that I can help drive traffic to Neurolinker rather than to Blogger. Anyway, the new location for the blog is http://www.neurolinker.com/blog/

Niche Inspector Replacement

I used the keyword tool Niche Inspector for a couple years and thought it was pretty good. Unfortunaetly, it seems that the owner Myleena Phan, has disappeared and Niche Inspector has stopped working. You can read about it here.

The good news is that I found a much better and cheaper program to replace it. The program is called Micro Niche Finder. This software only costs $67 (compared to over $1200 for NI) and it does quite a bit more. It still finds kewyrods that have low competition and high search volume. But it automatically saves all your searches so you never have to get orgnaized yourself or redo your work. It also have a nice feature where it shows its best guess for 'commercial intent" of a keyword pharse, ie how likely is it that someone who searches using this phrase will actually buy something. I think this is a great tool and I am now using it even on the Neurolinker site itself to create some low competition search pages to bring in more customers.

Closing in on 2K

I know, it's been a while since I've posted here. The past month has been a bit of a moving nightmare - I'm moving 20 years of accumulated junk out of a 2600 square foot house all by my self. It's a long story...

Anyway, Neurolinker continues to grow and now close to 1700 websites. So, 2000 websites is getting very close - my guess is that we'll get there in another month or so. People are starting to get well over 100 backlinks per site just from website matching. Lots of people are also actively engaged in doing the collaborative social bookmarking and are getting permanent one way backlinks from bookmarking sites. These links are starting to show up in Yahoo Site Explorer, and the search engines are starting to reward site owners with better search engine positioning.

Hopefully my moving and house renovations will all be done within a couple of weeks, just in time for Christmas. I'm looking forward to 2009 and I hope everyone out there is too.

Now at 1300 Websites

I haven't been posting in a couple of weeks since I've been very busy with helping someone in my family move. But now that I'm back to driving Neurolinker, I can report that the website count is now above 1300 websites. I fully expected the number of websites in the system to continue to grow at this rate, and I'm happy to see the promise of the Neurolinkr system coming to fruition.

More and more users are starting to use the social bookmarking system inside Neurolinker as well, which gives them permanent backlinks from social bookmarking sites.

New Collaborative Social Bookmarking Feature

Neurolinker continues to evolve, as I scour the web for more good ways to get links. The newest feature I added to neurolinker is collaborative social bookmarking (CBM), which is a fancy term that basically means the each user gets a chance to help out each other user by doing some social bookmarking on places like StumbleUpon, Furl and Delicious. When you do bookmarking for others, you get brownie points that Neurolinker actually keeps track of. If you have more brownie points than everyone else, then your sites filter to the top of everyone's bookmarking task list. So the more you bookmark for others, the more they will bookmark for you. This is a pretty simple way for everyone to get permanent one way backlinks to their site.

We Did It! 1000 Sites

We just passed the 1000 website mark. Neurolinker continues its robust growth at around 20-40 new websites each and every day. All these sites are indexed in the search engines, and all these sites are regular websites from real people, not some spammy blog farm. People are getting some nice relevant links. I have some sites in there as well. I have a credit card website (PR3) where virtually every single one of my outlinks and backlinks is related to credit cards, debt management or loans. I'm really pleased with how relevant the links are in most cases. Of course I've had a few cases where poeple with one and only one website in very obscure niches and no patience have been disappointed that Neurolinker couldn't get the a ton of links in their obscure little niche. But virtually everyone in the network is seeing some terrific backlinks and some good search engine ranking improvement as well.

I also started another backlink blog at my domain name neurolinker.biz to get a little more mileage out of my neurolinker domains.

Article Marketing in Neurolinker

I just released the new features in Neurolinker - the most important of which is the new Article Marketing feature. Now you can add up to 100 articles for each of your websites. These articles show up as separate pages on other people's websites, giving you some nice backlinks in context, just the way the search engines like. Similarly, you can also host other people's articles on your own site and get a ton of free content.

I added several other features to the latest version too:

• Users can now specify manual categories for their websites to help Neurolinker decide how to get more relevant links


• Users can now reject a small precentage (1 out of every 10) of their outlinks.


• The linkpage now has links to some of the links/resources pages on the member sites in order to give help the search engines index and rank the linkpages themselves.


• The Main Page now tracks user support requests to help users find their support request ticket numbers

Finally, we're closing in on 1000 sites - we should be there by the weekend at the latest!
