When it comes search engines, google is still the king, and they are doing everything they can to maintain their lead, in the name of providing more relevant search results for it’s users, google engineers published blog post which indicated there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected, put it this way, google thinks about 12% of it’s search results are really bad and need to manipulated. Google started this change almost one year ago, maybe that’s why some of my ranks dropped out of first 10 pages, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, a few of these keywords ranked better than ever, it’s safe to say that old way of link building is doomed.
So what exactly is linking campaign the old way? There are a lot of SEO company out there are doing this, they put your links on websites which only exist for holding links, these websites will only be updated when new links are being added, and most of them are useless, the name link spamming are just for these sites. Now google algorithm probably will weed out these sites, any links on them will be affected too.
Examples will be great for explanation. When I got into online marketing long time ago, I started promote the keyword, truck tie down, it was old way of link building all the way, lately I figured that every site in the campaign had way too many links, worst yet, those sites had no content at all. This strategy worked in the beginning, eventually the keyword could be found on first page, this was the case until google made the change. Something opposite happened to this keyword, chain puller , we put the link in relevant context, with very few plain links, now we have really good ranking for this keyword. Now contextual links win the battle, then what? In fact the only thing matters here is content, when you create unique and quality content, you will attract readers as well as search engines. It’s never too late to build good blogs for business purpose, such as this interesting blog, top smartphones 2011 , I build it as a hobby and kept adding good or mediocre content, now it can even rank the highly competitive keywords. As far as SEO concerned, quality article marketing is much better than plain link building. Say you’re building your own bogging network, for instance Grade 70 Chain, then it will be easier to do article marketing.
Bottom line is that you should create great content, share the content with people, promote your business with the content, your effort will reward you handsomely in the end. Persistence and patience are the keys to success, long term strategy is required to improve anything of significance, be it your business or search rankings, keep writing, publishing, sharing and creating, you will see the day of success. Ezine is one of the best article directories out there, google will index a new article on ezine promptly, popular blogs will get your post indexed as soon as you post it, I believe you should see for yourself, say this one, e track tie down, quality content, nice presentation, indexed by google, this article serves it’s purpose well.
Last but not least, the social media is the must have channel for your marketing effort. For wordpress blogs, I recommend twitter tools, sign up for a twitter account and create a new application, configure your twitter tools prpperly, you should choose to post a tweet for every new post, it’s simple and elegant, if you don’t use this tool it’s just too bad.
Truck tie downs are not fancy toys, people use these safety devices for serious jobs, such as vehicle transportation, moving heavy machinery from one site to another, hauling steel wire rolls, etc., the quality and strength are the most important things for these tie-downs. When we look at tie downs we’re looking for reliable ones, we want the load on our trucks are safely secured, and don’t want people to see some funny tie downs on our trucks.
But there are always exceptions. Enter reflective ratchet straps. These reflective tie down straps are identical to regular ones, except there are 2 reflective strips on the webbing, in low light environment people can easily spot these straps, such as tie down vehicles inside container, flat bed trucks on the highway in the evening, of course we can go with regular straps with no obvious disadvantage, but if we can be safer with reflective straps why don’t we use them? You may think that these reflective straps are expensive, in reality they are just as cheap, each reflective one only costs a little more than the regular one, while you get the safety benefit by paying almost the same price.
There are reflective winch straps and ratchet straps available, two of the most popular tie downs for big trucks. Reflective winch straps are available for 4”x27′ and 4”x30′, reflective ratchet straps are available for 2”x27′ and 2”x30′, you can find these straps online by searching the term “reflective ratchet strap” or “reflective ratchet strap“.
The popular tie down system on semi trailers are E track tie down system, which consists of E Tracks and e track tie down straps or cargo bars, E tracks come in with a few different length, such as 2′, 5′ and 10′, and there are two different settings , horizontal and vertical. The E Track tie downs have quite a few varieties, such as rope tie off(e fitting one end, D ring at another end with a short strap), D ring with E fitting(no strap), cam buckle straps with E Fitting, ratchet strap with E Fitting, wood beam sockets, wheel chocks which usually seen with E Tracks installed on the truck floor for bike or vehicle tie down and there e track cargo bars with e fittings at both ends. But any E Track tie downs need E Track to be installed to work, so the most important thing is to install the E Track properly.
When it comes to the installation of E Tracks, the safety is our first priority, do it the right in the very beginning will be crucial.
When you install the E Track you will have to look for the wall studs on the trailer, we will focus on doing it on the wall but the same principle applies to the floor as well. The wall stud is basically a big channel with a couple of flat spots on top to attach the plywood to, we just have to do the same to the E Track and bridge two of them somehow, when you figure that out you can use screws to hold the E Track up, you will need deep threaded wood screws or tec screws to get the job done. Basically this is all about installing E Tracks on the wall, and you will have to make sure the E Track sit as flat as possible on the wood. For Safety reason, you’d better use deep threaded screws, put one screw into each hole on the e track, and run the track as possibly far as you can, the will spread the load across long distance and it’s safer. Remember that the there are only about 2 inch to outside wall, so don’t over assert the screws.
When finish installing E Tracks, you will need to test it, just put an rope tie off into the E Track, drag it all you want, see if there are any weak spots, loose ends or whatever feels not well secured, if there are any problems fix them before you put the system into real use. Now you need to get e track tie down straps from local dealers or get these e track straps online, the ratchet or cam buckle straps come in 3 popular sizes, 2”x12′ color yellow, 2”x16′ color gray and 2”x20′ color blue, it’s pretty easy to tell the length of the assembly.
