(Now a nine page full color PDF.) Link sculpting can be done without using nofollow links or Javascript. You can use good old regular links. I’ve been doing it this way since 1998. It works just as well today as it did back then.
There’s no tricks or black hat SEO voodoo involved. It’s pure white hat. Google publicly states. “Link to your most important pages with your Home page.”
I show you how to aim “link juice” where you want it by paying attention to how you link. By linking the most important pages at the right times, we can spread link juice around our sites and increase our search engine rankings in the process.
Here’s a colorful nine page PDF with linking diagrams and detailed descriptions on how it can be done…

FAQ: I just watched a video by (brand name guru) and he says there are only three niches that will produce profit on the web: business, dating and health/fitness. What’s your take on this?
Also, I know very little about affiliate marketing and have never done it. Can I be profitable with Goobert using Wordpress?
Answer: Yes, those are highly effective categories, but they’re also highly competitive. Your offer would need to shine like the North Star in a crowded night sky. That means getting good at PPC, SEO, all forms of marketing and the science of advertising.
You’ll also need to convert that traffic into paying customers. So unless you’ve got the sales and persuasion skills, and the biz smarts, why join that fight?
Proclaiming such a statement, “there are only three niches that will produce profit on the web” is stupid and irresponsible, no matter who said it. Perhaps those are the only markets they could succeed in.
Here are 15 profitable niches that have made fortunes for average people, simply because…
1) They’re passionate about their topic.
2) They’re “best at” a certain skill set.
3) They figured out how to monetize it. -
FAQ: There is plenty of confusion and many questions about Google’s new search options. “Should we change the way we build our sites?” Should we change the type of content we produce?” And a bazillion others…
