Why do you need back links to your blog? Back links help you get higher ratings on the search engines. That helps you to get more targeted traffic to your blog. That also helps you to get more sales if you have your blog monetized ( with things to sell or a link to a web site that has things to sell.) You want people to read what you are writing and buy what you are selling. These are the main reasons that you want as many back links as you can get.
Now how do you get back links?
1. Write good content that people want to read. This way people read what is here and tell others that they found a good blog. This takes a long time to do it this way. It does help. When people follow your work they have it on the blog that they write so that others can see it as well.
2. Write quality articles and submit them to article directories. This helps more, your articles can be picked up and posted in other forum, blog and ezines. They are always looking for new things to put in the publications. They also get directed back to your blog, from the other sources.
3. Participate in forums, discussion boards, that are related to your blog. Write good comments. This get you known in a lot of different places. Make friends with the people in these groups. ( a note do not spam them in these groups. If you are always saying buy my products every time that you say something they are not going to want to come to your blog. They already know what you are selling and do not want it.) Make comments that are relevant to the topic that they are talking about.
4. Find other blogs that are in your niche. Make good comments on their blog add good information to the topic. They might even come to your blog if they like what you have to say. You might even gain a friend. If you like something that they said on their blog, write about it on your blog with a link back to them. Send them an email saying that your blog has a link back to their blog. Do they want to see what you said? They might even do the some for you sometime.
5. Submit your blog to web directories, as many as you can. The more the better. This gets you more targeted traffic and higher on the search engine rankings. Start out with the free directories and when you have more income coming in also do the paid directories. These directories already have the high traffic so the search engines find you sooner than they might otherwise. With the keywords that you use. Make sure that you are using good keywords.
How are your back links? We would like to know the progress that you make. Please leave a comment.

What Is Good Customer Service, How Can It Help To Grow Your Business
Not to long ago we had an experience with a company, that made us upset with them. We wanted to cancel the service, every month they would send out a training cd. We had contacted them several times. A customer service person emailed asking if we wanted to cancel. We sent an email back that we did want to cancel. That was the end of Jan., today we get an email that they shipped the cd. We wrote them another email ( not very HAPPY) told them to cancel it again and get the money back in our account. We unsubscribed from every thing that we got from them with another ( not very HAPPY ) email. So we are not keeping this quiet, we are telling every one if you do not want people talking bad about your business then your customer service had better be in top shape. We will not say the company right now. If it does not get taken care of then we will write again and say the name of the company. You get enough bad things said about you and soon no one wants to do business with you no matter how good the products you have might be. Bad word of mouth travel a lot faster then good word of mouth.
STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE AT WALMART
Good service only stays that way by evolving. Employee should always be on the lookout for new ideas and innovations that will improve the level of service. A prime example was Sam Walton's "Sundown Rule." If a customer makes a request, it has to be answered by sundown on the day it is received. Store associates were also admonished to follow the " Ten Foot Rule," which meant they were expected to make eye contact, greet and offer assistance to any customer withing 10-feet radius.
WHAT DO CUSTOMERS EXPECT?
1. To be treated with respect.
2. That the company at least acts like they care about them as a customer.
3. When they contact someone with a problem, that they can get something done about the problem.
This is something to ponder...
1. It costs five times as much to attract a new customer as it does to keep your current customer.
2. The average business never hears from 96% of its unhappy customers. (But 90% of them will not visit or buy from that business again!)
3. For every complaint received, the average is 26 customers with problems.
4. Complainers are more likely than non-complainers to do business again with the company that upset them, even if the problem wasn't satisfactorily resolved.
5. Customers who register complaint; between 54-70% will do business with you again if you resolved the complaint. 95% if the problem is resolved quickly.
6. The average customer who has had a problem will tell 1-20 people about it.
7. Customers who complain to an organization and have their complaints resolved tell an average of five people.
WHY CUSTOMERS STOP DOING BUSINESS:
* 1% die
* 3% move away
* 5% develop other friendships
* 9% leave for competitive reasons
* 14% are dissatisfied with the product
* 68% quit because of an ATTITUDE OF INDIFFERENCE toward the customer
(part of this information was given to us by our friend Curtis.)
Do you want your business in the 68% range of customers that stop doing business with you? That will not grow your business much when that 68% tell 1-20 people bad things about your business.
If you are not working hard on good customer service then, that is a lot of people that will not be doing business with you any time soon or never again.
GOOD BUSINESS IS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. If no one buys form you, then you do not have a business at all.
