The majority of Internet marketers have the tendency to not use the correctly the method of contextual link building and as a result it waste time and money as well as hosting space. So if you want to get the most out of this type of link building then here are some ways that you can do so:
1. Seek out popular blogs: Given the way in which search engines calculates a website page's ranking so the advantages that you will attain will be proportional to the blogs that are carrying your articles ranking. So the more popular the blog is the greater chances that your rankings will increase.
Quality link building services have minimum standards that are normally, between PR10 and PR3 for blogs that will be hosting the articles links. So this way you can be rest assured that you will have at least that much of improvement as to the sites ranking.
2. Seek more than one blog: If you want to be successful at contextual link building then make sure that you find more than one blog to host links to your articles. It is a great idea to have a list of blogs to ensure that your website, in order, for your website to improve in ranking. If you limit to just one blog it will take a long time until you see any advantages of the link building.
A good link builder will understand this fact and will try to address this issue. They will also have a list of some blogs that can fit in any niche and even a contingency plan if there is not a niche that covers your topic. There are some services are affiliated with networks of blogs which will result in your links to placed in as blogs as quick as possible.
3. Make and keep it interesting: It does not matter if your provider posts fresh articles on a daily basis, it will not be effective if all the content is on the same topic. As result the readers will not be motivated to keep coming back to your site, which will decrease the effectiveness of your efforts of link building.
The important key is to have variety. For this reason, it is vital that every post is fresh and unique that way readers will keep coming back for more. If there's something new and interesting everyday then most likely readers will return to the site. Also, remember that there more people that go to your site that you have your links, the greater chances they will click on the links.
4. Search out a good provider If you want to properly do contextual link building then, of course, you have to find a good provider that has the groundwork already thought about.

Bolt Mobile Browser Brings The Real Web To Mobile Phones In Russian
MARLBOROUGH, MA and BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwire - February 15, 2010) - Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) today announced a new version of the BOLT' Mobile Browser is now available with a Russian language user interface. BOLT 1.7 brings support for Russian, the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia, the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages, and the largest native language in Europe, along with enhanced streaming video features, and support for widgets to the free mobile browser. Since June of last year the BOLT mobile browser has been rendering Cyrillic fonts on websites, and now users can make Russian the default language for the user interface as well. New features and product enhancements make BOLT's lightning fast uncompromised browsing experience for phones of all types even better for BOLT users around the world.
As BOLT marks its first anniversary, the acclaimed mobile browser has surpassed 4 million users, streamed over 135 million minutes of video (equivalent to 256 years if played back to back), served more than 512 million pages -- as many as 3 million pages per day, and downloaded more than 132 terabytes of data.
BOLT is the only mobile browser for all types of mobile phones to support streaming video from multiple video sharing websites such as RuTube, YouTube, Yahoo, Google, MySpace and more. Now users can watch videos posted in CNN and ESPN, as well as watch embedded YouTube videos on any website.
BOLT perfectly renders Web pages just as they would be seen on desktop browsers, outscoring competing mobile browsers by earning a perfect 100 percent on the Web Standards Project's Acid3 test. The Acid3 test, created to help browser vendors ensure proper support for Web standards in their products, tests Web 2.0 dynamic Web applications and visual rendering, including Web fonts. Built in J2ME and able to operate on phones of all types, BOLT can work on an estimated 3 billion phones already in the market. A version of BOLT created specifically for BlackBerry smartphones includes all the features of BOLT but also includes default BlackBerry shortcuts and optimizations.
BOLT's Unique Capabilities Include:
-- Displays full websites just as they would appear on desktop computers
-- Fast page load speeds
-- Streams videos from popular video services such as RuTube and YouTube
-- Up to 24:1 data compression
-- Copy and paste text
-- Uploads video and photo files directly to websites from browser

-- Six levels of magnification
BOLT 1.7 New Features Also Include:
Widgets
Although BOLT already runs Web-based applications written in Ajax, Javascript and other Web programming languages, such as the popular Facebook game Mafia Wars and Google Docs, BOLT 1.7 is adding widget functionality. Now in beta, BOLT widgets allow users to install small self-contained Web applications that run directly from within BOLT. Because these widgets are installed directly within BOLT they load and execute faster than website-based applications, giving users a wider variety of utility for their mobile phones. BOLT users can discover, select and install specific Web apps through a BOLT Widget Gallery. BOLT's widgets are written as standard W3C widgets (www.w3.org/TR/widgets/), a standard with broad industry support.
Twitter Integration
BOLT now includes an easier way to post tweets to Twitter. BOLT 1.7 has integrated Twitter capabilities into the browser itself. Now users can post tweets directly from BOLT while they browse the Web.
Recognizing that some mobile phones currently in use cannot support the full size application and some network providers limit the size of application downloads, Bitstream also offers a light version of the BOLT mobile browser, BOLT Lite'. BOLT Lite contains all the essential features of the BOLT mobile browser, retaining BOLT's feature-rich functionality, best-of-breed download speeds and desktop PC-style page layout in a smaller package optimized for entry-level devices.
BOLT and BOLT Lite are both available for free download at http://boltbrowser.com.

Your Manuscript Is Complete - Now What's Next?
Obviously, all your good work has come to fruition and you are finally holding your completed manuscript in your hands! Of course, you have been re-reading everything many times over and, to your dismay, have always found misspellings and sentences that need improvement. It is amazing how difficult it is to detect one's own shortcoming. You virtually need to have a split personality and go over your writing with the eye of a different persona.
As the next step, you are looking for an editor. There are many freelance editors advertising their services in writers circles and it is a good method to start looking at the ones advertising at you state's Writers' centre.
There is a paramount need to ask for an editor's references, for previous authors to contact, or writing projects they have completed, their university training and for their fee. Like with resume's for job applications, everything needs to be investigated and followed-up to avoid financial and literary consequences.
Some editors prefer to have the manuscript sent to them printed out, some insist on an electronic transfer of the manuscript. Some insists on contacting you and discuss every word they find while others are happy if you tell them that you accept their improvements in advance. By approaching several editors, you get an idea of the standard fee. The rule here is that the height of the fee is no guarantee for quality and neither is paying a bit more for extra good work or payment in advance!
Once such editor I contacted is also the editor of a science fiction magazine and his correspondence was peppered with words like '˜new world order' '˜astro this' and '˜space that'! And her quoted fee, too, was astronomical! Some editors do very little work for their money, claiming that they were not '˜ghost writers', another editor insisted on being paid in advance and then did not touch my manuscript for two months. Upon cancellation of the contract, she wanted a cancellation fee. One editor seemed to be perfect in every way, but she was booked-out for almost a year with another assignments for a large publisher. One editor quoted turn-around time two weeks which was obviously far too short for a voluminous manuscript, another editor sent my manuscript back only half- way through because he's lost his interest. There are myriad things that can happen and it is very important that a first-time author checks and re-checks these editors before contracting one.
After the manuscript has been returned, physically or electronically. The author then needs to go over his writings once more and change the corrections into clear print.
Once this tedious work of probing an editor will not only result in getting a person whom you will enjoy working with really well and the waiting for the edited manuscript will be a joyful period instead of one filled with anxious nail-biting.
