FTC and Affiliate Notices:
Beginning December 1, 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began enforcing new rules
regarding transparency in advertising relations between product endorsers, advertisers, affiliate
marketers, product reviewers, bloggers, celebrities, and other marketers, and the general public.
Opinions on this blog or website are my own. No one else is responsible for the content. I have
not received any compensation for writing this post, article, review, ebook, or other content, and
I have no material connection to the brands or products mentioned, except as noted below.
I do not accept free products from manufacturers or advertisers or free books from writers and
publishers in exchange for a review. All of the product reviews on this blog are influenced solely
by the performance of the product itself. I do not receive any kind of monetary compensation for
my content or reviews including cash or free products.
AFFILIATE NOTICE:
I maintain an affiliate/publisher/republisher relationship with hundreds of companies. This
page or report may contain affiliate links to one or more of these companies. An affiliate link
is a special URL to the affiliate merchant which lets him know you reached his site/sales page
through my recommendation, text link, or banner ad.
In many cases, I do not personally review products but pass on news I have discovered from
research. I often quote from other sources of information or from the manufacturer/product
owner’s site. Any product features, statistics, quotes or other representation about a product or
service should be verified with the manufacturer or distributor.
On occasion, I may write or blog about a product or service and include an affiliate link. If you
purchase a product via my affiliate link, I may receive a commission for referring you. In fact,
that is the whole purpose of the affiliate link.
This site may contain in-context textual ads or banner ads, such as from Google or Kontera,
over which I have no control over the content. I may or may not have an affiliate/business
relationship with the companies advertising on those services. If you click on one of these links,
I hope to be paid a small sum for sending you to that merchant's site. Otherwise, I would have
no reason to give Google and others space on my website.

4. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more
detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain
practices. We cannot control the activities of other advertisers or web sites.
Unless otherwise stated, the website guest or visitor should assume that any link to a third-party
vendor is a paid link, and that the author or website owner may receive compensation for that
link.

5. I find outlines easier to read than most Internet marketing manuals. If you like rags-to-
riches stories or questionable income screen shots, there are hundreds of so-called Internet
marketing “gurus” who will sell you some fluff for $27 or $47 or $97 or more.
What I present here are free resources I call “points of hype” - places you can promote your
website or brand.
Your marketing will benefit if you have a domain name that works as a user name for most sites
where you establish a profile. For example, when I Googled “pointsofhype” and found that no
one was using it, I bought the domain name - http://pointsofhype.com - and began joining social
networking sites and promoting my business.
Every post, article, profile, and email will help brand “pointsofhype” or “Points of Hype” without
any additional effort on my part.
Now on to Outliners - 3x:
1. What is 3x?
a. a brief manual which lists 3 resources in different categories for use by online
marketers and local offline business owners to promote their products and
services

typical website or business owner will be well ahead of the game

e. produce content your audience will love

● thousands of free search engines, Internet yellow pages, business directories, social
media, and online directories to promote your website or bricks and mortar business
● hundreds of free blog and website hosts, community websites, and article directories to
publish articles that create authority and expert status for you and your business
● best source of high PR backlinks
● organic SEO naturally
Are these the top resources in each category? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.
What they are is a bare bones minimum for the do-it-yourself marketer.
Some sites are chosen for ease of use as much as PageRank.

7. Article Directories:
1. ezinearticles.com
2. GoArticles
3. ArticleDashboard
“Article directories are websites where users submit unique articles to be categorized and
included to a specific niche. Well-written content articles released for free distribution have the
potential of increasing the authoring business' credibility within its market as well as attracting
new clients.”
~en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_directory
● your articles are available for republishing by other ezines, blogs, and websites
● good source of high PageRank backlinks to your top level domains
● top article directories are constantly re-indexed by the search engine bots
● many restrictions imposed by the site owners
● each article directory will disclose their own author guidelines regarding length of article
and links permitted
● ezinearticles.com is the gold standard
● lost influence after the latest Google slap
● want to spend your time submitting quality articles to the highest ranked and most active
directories
● create powerful backlinks using your niche keyword phrases in the bio/resource box
● most directories prohibit affiliate links in your article or bio
● popular directories are authority sites with good SEO backlink value
● submit unique, categorized articles
● less important with the growth of free blog hosts who impose fewer restrictions on
backlinks
“It's becoming fairly common knowledge amongst Internet marketers and webmasters alike that
in order to promote your website, blog or online business, a powerful and free way of generating
targeted traffic is to submit articles to article directories....To do this manually can be a slow and
painstaking process, but a necessary one if you want the search engines to rank your site as
well as deliver that traffic to your site. And not just traffic, but also those all-important inbound
links to give your sites the authority they need to compete in the search engine results.”
~http://www.squidoo.com/articledirectorylist
Caveat: The recent Panda update to the Google search algorithm reduced the
effectiveness and PR of article marketing, yet it will continue to be a useful marketing
and branding tool as long as your content is unique (or heavily spun) and gives good
value to your visitors.
As I write this, Google is developing the most significant changes to its search engine

8. ever, mostly to counter the growth of influence by Facebook. Search results will soon be
largely individual to you and include influence from your social media.
Pro Tool:
I love spinners. Some marketers do not. The one I use is simple, not too automated, and leaves me
in control. Magic Article Rewriter allows me to submit unique content to each article directory, blog, or
website. Magic Article Submitter is also available, but hackers have reduced its usefulness.

option is the use of a private domain name instead of one appended to the blog service; for

A web directory is not a search engine and does not display lists of web pages based on
keywords; instead, it lists web sites by category and subcategory. Most web directory entries
are also not found by web crawlers but by humans. The categorization is usually based on
the whole web site rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to
inclusion in only a few categories. Web directories often allow site owners to directly submit their
site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness.”

● similar to search engines, but most are human edited instead of compiled by bots
● edited and approved before inclusion
● can often take some time to be included
● many web directories have shifted to a paid model
“Web Directory – a collection of websites grouped by categories. Usually each site is verified
by an editor prior to approval. The most well-known web directory is Dmoz, but there are
thousands of such websites on the internet.”
