Caution: Stay away from services promising instant links. It's a dead-giveaway for spam linking! (See section below: The Dao of Link Popularity)
Also, be advised that this is not a directory submission program. Most directories are spam one-way links programs that have been penalized by the engines because they exist only to transfer PR. Simply, they are not legitimate directories. There are only about 10 or so PR-worthy legitimate directories (Yahoo, Dmoz, Hotfrog, etc.). All our links come from legitimate hard-working websites that exist to conduct business not to provide spam links - legitimate businesses vouching for the credibility of other legitimate businesses via membership in our program.

The HandSubmit One-Way Links Program (H.O.W.L.) is a link building service of HandSubmit.COM, a search engine optimization company since 1998. The member base of the program is comprised of the optimization clients of HandSubmit.COM and new members who join through the provisions of this website.
Building link popularity these days is not easy given the recent trend to penalize self-serving reciprocal linking programs. But you can increase your link popularity through one-way links by joining our link popularity program. All the web sites included in this campaign are legitimate, hard-working websites working to improve their link popularity at google and the other engines through the unique one-way linking strategy offered in this program.

| The HandSubmit One-Way Links Program (H.O.W.L)
|
Something to howl about!
The HandSubmit One-Way Links Program directs to you one-way inbound-only links. The program subscribers are divided into three pods (A, B, C). The pods are balanced for site themes (e.g. travel sites, hosting sites, etc.) and PageRank. Members of Pod A provide links including 100 words of anchor text to members in Pod B. Members of Pod B provides the same to each member of Pod C. Each member of Pod C provides the same to each member of Pod A. Eureka! One-way links!
The number of websites in each pod depends on the total subscriber base. That will vary and tend to increase. Presently there are over 550 member websites. That means about 170+ non-reciprocal links pointing to the partners in each Pod and improving their link popularity. That is a lot of one-way links, all legitimate, real working websites. Further, throughout the membership year, as new subscribers sign on, they will be added to the program and further help you in building link popularity.

We receive many more testimonials than we can display and you'll find many of our clients on page one of Google for some very significant search phrases. Keep in mind that not everyone sees exactly the same set of search results due to Google's different databases but these results will be pretty close. Search for 'summer camps' and you'll find our program partner MySummerCamps.com #2. Search for 'retirement homes' and you'll find our program partner #1 (RetirementHomes.com). These are not small search phrases. Search for 'singles travel' and you see Travis of MeetMarketAdventures around listing #6. Search for 'self defense products' and you'll find Jack of AAA-SafetyFirst #2 or thereabouts.
Here are a few recent testimonials:

Just wanted to inform you that my web site is #4 on Google for my primary key word. That's amazing! I'm positive your linking strategy is the cause. I had NO page rank for over 2 years. Thanks! I'll be a member for a long time!
And from his first testimonial when he originally joined the program:
Ken, Just wanted to let you know that my site went from #13 to #6 on Google in just 2 weeks for my target key word! Your one way linking really does work! I'd be happy to provide a testimonial if you need more:) Happy customer here!

April 2009:
Hi Ken, I just wanted to let you know we got $15,000 in consulting sales last month, all because of this program. We show up #1 in Google in certain search terms we wanted (such as "hp3000 consulting"), and, on the first page for 3 key others. More work to do as always, but, the point is, we've gotten our money back many times over and all terms we wanted should be #1 within 2 months since it was so easy to get first page. At that point, we'll likely have to partner with someone as we may end up with more business than we have people for. To rise so fast in the rankings has really helped us succeed and was a lot easier than all of the other work we had done previously.
Your program definitely was the key part in this success. So, thanks!

March 2009 (from a client who discontinued her membership):
I am sorry to inform you that I will need to cancel with "One way links". Unfortunately Seriesse International (her supplier, Sylvester Stallone no less) closed the door and I am out of business. I just want to take opportunity to thank you for your excellent work and extraordinary website optimization. Your work is unbeatable. I should mention that your optimization skills are way beyond the basics and I enjoyed your lecturing. Regardless of my poor English especially grammar (Blame not on me but my country of origin) I was able to understand the meaning of SEO in the whole new light. You are an excellent teacher. I would be honored to attend your classes. You will be highly recommended to all my friend entrepreneurs. Thank you very much for everything.

Thank you Ken! Your program is amazing and the proof is the successful businesses my websites have become! Thanks to your program I now get so much organic traffic for my main keywords I don't have to run pay per click ads anymore. My Wholesale Janitorial Supply site is now #1 on Google for 'janitorial supplies' and 'cleaning supply'. My Wholesale Warehouse Supply is doing almost as well. So, now I'd like to add

I have just sent the renewal payment to you via PayPal. Thank you for your message and all its informative contents. We have been very happy with the results of your program during the last year. It has obviously played a large part in the increased success of our website performance, which in turn has greatly increased our bookings. We find that in quite a few key phrases we are coming in the first one or two pages in Google and we are on page one for our main phrase 'bed and breakfast in france'. Many thanks again, and we wish you and all involved in the links program, continued success.

I have no questions or concerns and am quite frankly very pleased with the site's ranking. In the last 6 months I must have had at least 10 people tell me that when they search Palm Coast Real Estate I am the one that comes up consistently. That had not happened in the past.
I am thrilled with your service, my ranking and am patting myself on the back for having found you and listened to you, the least expensive alternative on the net. We've done good. :) Enjoy and I'll make sure the renewal is paid by mid next week. Is that ok?

| The Dao of Links Popularity
|
In Chinese Daoist philosophy birth is the coming together of Yin and Yang (opposites that arise together and depend upon one another), death is the disperal of Yin and Yang. Health is the balance between Yin and Yang and illness an imbalance between the two. One example of Yang is strength. An example of Yin is weakness. Is it better to be strong than weak? Not necessarily. It is better to have a balance between the two. Too much strength is associated with aggressiveness and brittleness. Some weakness is associated with suppleness and flexibility. The single biggest mistake webmasters make is the mistake of too much Yang. What inspired this harangue? I just came from a competitor's site boasting about how he'd have 1,000 one way back-links up for you within 24 hours. Duh!! Spam-linking penalty for sure.
Nature is the harmonious balance between Yin and Yang. Is it natural to receive 1000 links in 24 hours? In the real and natural world would 1000 people discover your site and all put up a link to you in 24 hours? The engines are smart enough to know that is not natural and they simply penalize those links as being artificial and unnatural. Don't be too aggressive; don't be too strong. Appreciate the balance between Yin and Yang.
In our program you will receive the links naturally over the course of some weeks. All comes to he who is patient.
Most of my link building clients are also optimization clients so I can't just take the money and run. I have long term relationships with these folks some since 1998 for SEO and since 2004 for link popularity. We talk about site issues several times a year and I have to offer them a links service that actually works. One with accountability!

| Primer on Link Popularity
|
Link popularity is an off-site method for promoting website rankings. It is determined by the number and quality of external incoming links to your site. External incoming links are links on other sites that point to yours.
Search engines consider link popularity important because they see links from other sites to yours as a kind of recommendation or guarantee of the worth of your site.
Link popularity arose as a ranking factor because so many people used spamming techniques to position their site higher in the rankings. Engines started to use link popularity as a means of dampening that impact. Assigning a link popularity value to a website based on number of incoming quality links pointing to it was deemed an effective way to determine whether a site had useful content or not because if other people think it does, then surely it must.
Of course, this has not stopped people from finding ways to artifically inflate their link popularity to exploit this search engine ranking factor. And, the engines have endeavored to dampen the impact of such spam linking by changes to their algorithm. In this regard, folks always worry about potential penalties but the reality is that only the most egregious spamming behaviour leads to site-specific penalties. Everything else is dealt with through the algorithm which serves to dampen the effect of any activity bearing a spam signature. Nonetheless, our program reliably takes program partners from PR0 to PR3 or PR4 within the first membership year.
|
The above text mentions that link popularity involves both the number and the quality of inbound links to your site. The term PageRank refers to the quantification of these factors. PageRank or PR is a measure of how important a page is. Note that I said 'page', not 'site'. A page has PR, not a site. Acquiring PageRank is more complicated that just acquiring a quantity of links. The quality of a link has great influence on PageRank. A quality link is a link coming into your site from a site that itself has a good page rank (PR3 or above). In other words, if a popular site links to your site it really helps your popularity. Google has PR10, by the way. But don't expect them to link to you.
PageRank is the 'second' part of a two part search engine algorithm. Part one pertains to 'on the page' ranking criteria like the title tag, the metatags, keyword position on the page and so on (standard optimization variables). The second part involves off-page factors like link popularity which refers to: 1) the number of relevant inbound links from other sites, 2) where the links come from (i.e. high PageRank pages) and 3) that the Anchor Tag Text contains your keywords (more on this below). Simply put, if all else is equal or near equal, then the page determined to have the best Page Rank will rank higher. By the way, in light of the above reference to quality. PR0 websites also contribute to your PR, just not as much. PR0 is not really PR0; it is a score somewhere between PR0 and PR1. You should never eschew links from PR0 websites because in a few months they might well be PR3.

| How Link Popularity is Built:
|
One-way links are just that - you receive a link from a website without having to give a link back to that website. One-way links count a lot more than swapping links. They appear to be a truer endorsement of your site, an endorsement that says your site must really be good because there was no quid pro quo (i.e. no reciprocation).
Many of you already have the most valuable one-way link on the internet, a listing in the dmoz.org directory (Open Directory Project). The dmoz link provides a highly relevant, on topic, one way link. That is one of the main reasons people pull out their hair over trying to get in there. Another good one is a link from the Yahoo directory but that costs $299. Don't do that one until you have truly optimized your site as you need to try to influence the editor vetted Yahoo description so that it will benefit your rankings. But regardless, the link is a good one. Most other directories have less value. Please stay away from directory programs that sign you up to thousands of directories. There are only a handful of quality directories and you should submit to those directories by yourself, thoughtfully and carefully. Most directories were created to exploit the one way links phenomenon and they have been penalized simply because they do not exist as sincere, legitimate directories.
|
In the last couple of years webmasters have worked very hard to develop reciprocal links with other sites. The reasoning has been that although one-way links (inbound only) might be more valuable than reciprocal links, they are almost impossible to get, but you can get some inbound links if you offer a link in return. The birth of reciprocal linking.
But the engines are not stupid. Reciprocal links are hardly an indication of the worth of a site. Most reciprocal links are a device to artificially inflate link popularity to exploit this particular search engine ranking factor. According to Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Watch editor: "Google combats these attempts by identifying what it considers 'artificial' link structures and adjusting or eliminating their influence in the rankings. Google has also recently taken action against reciprocal link pages, link "farms," and guest books, downplaying their importance in its link analysis algorithms." (See: http://www.clickz.com/search/opt/article.php/1025331)
|
By the way, some companies selling individual text links charge as much as $8-$16 per month for a PR3/4 link and $65 a month for a PR6. When you join our program, you will be pay only our annual membership fee which averages out to much less than $1 per link for valuable one-way links including PR5 and PR6 links. Why so cheap? Well, because our partners are in this to help themselves by helping one another. My fee of $175 is just to manage the program. I do not 'sell' links. I manage a membership club.
|
And from the forum moderator at Webmaster World: "The way it is going with everyone hunting for links and the easiest way out being asking for reciprocal links, it would seem that long term, reciprocal links will be worth less than one way links. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours is ok for sending each other visitors (the original idea of links), but the question is if it will account for the same as a straight one-way link."
Actually, that boat left the dock more than a year ago and reciprocal links have been greatly devalued. When I started this business in 2004 there were almost no searches for the phrase 'one way links' and hundreds of searches for 'reciprocal links'. It's exactly the opposite in 2008.

Anchor text is the text a site uses to link to your site, basically it is text describing your services or products or why the site is linking to you.
If you were giving me a one-way link the anchor text might look like:
|
HandSubmit.COM offers seo services to small businesses. Search engine optimization and hand or manual submission for only $102. This sole proprietor guarantees personal service and no month submission fees. Same day reply and complimentary pre-optimization analysis.
|
| You might think that the important text above is the blue hot-linked text, literally the 'anchor' text. But Google figured out a long time ago that folks use anchor text to artificially influence their rankings. So the text surrounding the anchor text is equally important. It should validate whatever text is in the anchor. That's one of the strengths of our program. Partners can include up to about 100 words of supportive descriptive text.
|
| The Myth of Relevant Links
|
While most believe that the best links are from sites that are thematically related to your own site, that really only applies to reciprocal linking programs. The best link for the Alaska Fishing Charter business is not the reciprocal link from the bait-cutter down the road but the one-way, non-reciprocal link from the Iowa banker who chartered one of the company's boats last summer and is now recommending the company via her personal website.
Giving weight to thematically related reciprocal links is just the search engine's way of controlling for spam linking and the thousands of reciprocal links people pick up in order to artificially inflate their link popularity. To NOT count any of them would be to no longer value link popularity in the search engine algorithms. And, of course, some reciprocal links may well be sincere votes of popularity. So, the engines compromised and opted, in the case of reciprocal linking, to give credit for thematically related links. This is not an issue with non-reciprocal linking since non-reciprocal or one way links are perceived to be legitimate by virtue of the simple fact they are not reciprocal.
To confirm the above just go to Google and check out the websites credited with linking to this site, One-Way-Links.com. Very few if any would met the test of 'relevance'. They say, nothing spreads like a lie and that nothing is bigger than something of mythic proportions; 'relevance' is a small truth exxaggerated into a myth to suit the needs of certain SEO companies and article writers (associated with those companies). The proof can be found in most any search at Google. Google credits many so called 'irrelevant' links because if those links are one-way links, then they ARE relevant. When you check for back-links at Google always remember than Google never shares more than a sampling of credited links. Only Yahoo shares a full links history.

The thick glass bottle usually had a thick plug of cream at the top and on Friday my mom always got Vico -- chocolate milk! That was real service back then and I pledge to serve you by providing you with legitimate one-way links from hard-working web sites many of whom have been clients of HandSubmit.COM for several years, many with PR4 or better." - Ken Sproul
