Google isrepparttar most prominent ofrepparttar 125066 big boys to use this method, and it has brought me a lot of visitors to my hobby site. Hobby site? you may ask. Well you may be interested to read that I am alsorepparttar 125067 webmaster of www.irishboxingnews.com and have been for 2+ years.

The last time I checked on Altavista I had 169 sites linking to Irish Boxing News.com, and I am ranked number 3 on Google forrepparttar 125068 search term 'boxing news' . I get about 25 - 40 visitors a day from Google for this search term alone.

Before Google introducedrepparttar 125069 number of links to a site as a relevancy factor I wasn't even inrepparttar 125070 top 20, now however because I have so many quality sites linking to Irish Boxing News.comrepparttar 125071 googlebot feels I deserve position 3.

More search engines are likely to come around to this method of ranking as Google has shown with its tremendous growth that its a very effective method of establishing relevancy.

So hopefully you can see why reciprocal linking is so important to any 'serious' webmasters. My Irish Boxing News.com site gets about 150 visitors a day, not bad for a site without a budget plus it's a niche information site, and doesn't have broad appeal, anyway most of them come from search engines but about 50-60 come from links on other sites. Just Multiply them numbers by 4 or 5 for a site with mass appeal like an Internet Marketing site and you can really start to seerepparttar 125072 power of developing links with other sites. BOTTOM LINE - GET LINKING NOW

My list may be smaller because of it, but 3 times in a row and they're OUT!

You should now be able to narrow your list down to your favorite 3-5 ezines. The marketing "gurus" would give you a formula for determining ifrepparttar 125070 cost is within reason.

My formula? I like to place top sponsor ads or solo ads. (and free classified ads - but those I'll place in any targeted ezine! Hey, they only cost a little time!)

So... I look at all of my favorite targeted ezines, and discard any that are out of my price range. Then I look at those left to see which offersrepparttar 125071 best price per subscriber for a top sponsor or solo ad. I'll try that one first.

Oh, and... don't forget to track your results!
