Building Links And How The Top Bloggers Can Help You

Posted by onelife On November - 24 - 2009
I never really understood the link building process of an online business until I read somewhere that each link ‘is like a vote for you in Google’s ranks. The ones with the most quality votes get top billing’. This made sense to me so I went about the link building process and will be using outsourcing to keep this process going (in fact to lift it beyond my efforts). I did, however, want to see how other sites ranked on links to their site so I downloaded a link checker and started delving through. Read the rest of this entry »

However, with the move and all, I have got behind on posts so I wanted to do something. In another blog I had about hedge funds I used to do a section on ‘toys’ for hedge fund managers, it was popular so I decided to start doing a similar post here.

About Me

My name is David, I am very happily married and have one step son. We moved to Switzerland 4 years ago as we love the country, it is a hub of entrepreneurship, the people are fabulous and the skiing is not bad either!

This blog is about passing on some of the strategies I have learned in 20 years as an entrepreneur, from running a commodities operation producing $300mn per year of business to the challenges of owning a small hotel on a tiny Caribbean island and many businesses inbetween.

Others coaches are excellent at reading books and distilling the content for you, that is great if that is what you are looking for. I give you practical advice through my own successes and mistakes. I hope you find the blog useful.
