There will always be people who will sign up and never follow through. That is just business, now as far as keeping your downline and helping them build their downline also is very easy which I am finally starting to realize. You first need to build a foundation for yourself to succeed before you can get others to help themselves. I send all of my members to this website below which gives them free training, downline building and free leads and traffic. This has helped me keep my gdi members active and recruiting themselves.

great ideas and that is a fun little way to generate new ideas.

How many sign ups will I call

How many flyers will I hand out

How many traffic exchanges will I join

How much time will I spend learning how to build my business

  This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have gotten the hang of it I suppose. A pr7 of course will get you there but getting a link that is related to your subject and on a pr7 is pretty non existant to say the least. There are many methods that I do use but I was just trying to let people know not to focu so much on what they cram in their page. Write your website so it reads very well and gets all the points across that you are wanting to get across. Do not write a great page then figure ways to cram home based business, and gdi into it. It always works best to write for humans as the robots these days are getting better at seeing if you are keyword cramming. I wrote a tutorial on seo awhile back and I will see if I have it and post it up somewhere or at least a link to it. This will help others be able to get the hang of it and market their website better.


  One great note though is watch out who has your link on their page. Having bad linking partners is a big downer as far as search engines go. Never exchange links with anyone with a pr0 simply because they are either new or they are on their way to getting grayed out and banned. Keep up on that. There are alot of great tools online that are free to use to help you with this problem which I can email links to people if they would like the information.

I am actaully an seo guy for many years I am seeing ALOT of bad info on this subject. For one don't ever pay for inclusion and it takes 3 days to get into google if you do it right. As far as meta tags don't use 100 keywords lol that does nothing. What you HAVE to do is build a page around a keyword without it sounding spammy at all. And for all of you new or misinformed with seo it doesn't really matter what you have in your meta tags or even on your page for that matter. The true key to seo is offsite optimization. As in if you want to target lets say global domains international alot of people for some crazy reason try and spam gdi within their pages and their meta tags. This does nothing BUT if you get alot of high page rank web pages linking to your page with the link text of global domains international that will earn you credit and improve your ranking.

Don't ever pay for seo ever and if you have questions just ask. SEO is very easy once you understand the REAL rules to it. Also keyword tags are only used by 10% or less of search engines so it is almost pointless to even put it in there. The only search engine worth optimizating for google and they have a year long sandbox on all new sites. Which makes it very hard to get included but I have a trick to get it done fast. I get my sites listed in about 1-2 days. Also I am mainly on the 1-3 position of whatever keywords i am optimizing for.


All of you who are reading this thread please dont listen to everything on here as most is incorrect and will actually affect your optimization in a bad way.

I actually have my own server since I do that on the side anyways. One issue that I had from the start with gdi is I knew that their webhosting was not going to be that great BUT as far as the income opportunity I think it is fine if that is what you are looking to do. Now if you are trying to market to more knowledgable people as far as web designers and other web hosts then you will be stuck. What I offer my members is the option to host with me as I have unlimited space and I do not charge for this service at all as long as they are on my team. Now most gdi members do not access to their own servers but some may.

GDI I do not see having a real control panel like cpanel with an x or x2 skin etc but they could in the future but I highly doubt it. Once people start to be able to create db's and host scripts it will cause a world of irritants for them. Most people trying to upload forums and other tpyes of scripts mostly do not know how to do it and then the gdi support will be blanketed with emails from people who may not know what they are doing.

No matter how you look at it I pay my $10 a month and soon to be free for the home based business only. I do not plan on hosting with the gdi servers even though they seem fast I do my own search engine optimization and need keyword tracking etc that I see never being supported.
