    1. What is backlinking?
    Any link from one web property (website, blog post, social networking site...) to another provides a backlink to that site. For example if you had http://www.yourdomain.com and someone from http://www.theirdomain.com references your website, then you will have a backlink.

    2. I read how everone has websites are these websites you pay for or ar they free websites?

    Not sure everyone has one, but many on this forum do. Websites have a few components:

    1) A webhost - suggest a paid webhosting account is best - these can range from $10-$30 per month
    2) One alternative is to create a blog on a site such as Blogger.com or Wordpress.com where THEY host your site and you create the content - this is Free
    3) If you create your own site, then you need to decide if it will be a static html page (where you need an html editor) or a blog where you can use Wordpress.org software (costs you nothing)
    4) Finally - most websites have graphics like a "header" at the top of teh page and perhaps other images which are typically designed for that page at a cost of between $30-$100 depending on the designer.

    3. What are soem of teh free websites you can get?

    To start with, you can create a blog on Blogger.com or Wordpress.com to get your own free website - don't recommend free website hosting though.

    4. How does adsense work?

    Simple, you signup with Google for a free Adsense account, they give you code to place on your website (blog or static website) and in exchange for every click on the ad that shows on your website, they pay you a portion of the click cost from a few cents to a few dollars depending on the ads.


    5. Are you selling a product, a tangible product like socks or tools or are you just selling ebooks and information?

    Money can be made from selling digital products such as information ebooks, reports, videos, membership content OR physical products (could be affiliate referals, drop shipping or your own stocked physical products OR through advertising where you monetize your site through on-site ads or CPA

    6. Are your blobing used to pump up a ebook or product only?

    If you mean blogging to help promote an ebook - Yup, that is one of our main strategies across 4 niche markets with 12 information products on the market. Blogs bring traffic and credibility to the product sites - that's why!

    That is all from now please inform. I do hope that you do not think that I am asking dumb question ( I already know I am) but I have some websites that sell products and I am looking to promote my websites.

    Hi mate, don't worry about asking what you think is a dumb question. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask!
    Now to asnwer some of your questions as best I can:
    1) backlinking is where you place a link to your site on another site or blog.
    2) Most people have sites where they pay for hosting and a domain name. some blogs are hosted free but you would need to still pay for a domain name.
    3) Blogger and wordpress.com are both free, but alot of people host wordpress blogs on their own sites as it helps with SEO.
    4) With Adsense, google places adverts on your site. you get paid when somebody clicks on an advert that google has placed on your site.
    5) I sell both tangible products and information products that I have created (mainly how to's). I use the information products to help me promote the tangible products, especially on ebay. This works really well!
    6) Having a blog is one of the best ways to promote your site.

    Another way to promote your site is to sell ebooks on ebay and on the confirmation of order and confirmation of dispatch emails you could put your website url in the email.

    A moredirect way of attracting getting customer from ebay to your site is to email them once they've purchased an item is to send them an email like this:

    "Hi Mrs Jones

    I am just about dispatch your item and iwas wondering how you would feel if I gave you the option to purchase another item from our website and pay no extra postage? If you do want to do that just click www.yoursite.com and enter the discount code xxx/xxx at the checkout.

    Yours faithfully

    Jacob
    www.yoursite.com


    Hope this helps!

        In the top left hand corner, on the main discussion board, right above the sticky posts and below the bread crums options, you should see a black button call New Thread. Just click that and fill out whatever you want to discuss, I do recommend reading the rules before making any new treads.

          Question 3) You can get free web hosting for 2 websites from weebly.com, with plenty of free templates to use. You still need to buy your domain(s) first though.
