2. Using the SlideLinks System 3.0
To Build Inbound Links
Our new SlideLinks System uses Power Point slides to quickly create
inbound links for your spaces through http://www.SlideShare.net
Slideshare.net is a file upload site much like YouTube except it uses
PowerPoint, Word and other file types.
As search engines become more sophisticated, they can now read the
content of these types of files online and do use that content in ranking
determination.
In the same way we use the Rapid Launch Video 3.0 Package to quickly
build incoming links to our spaces, we use the SlideLinks System to do the
same thing.
The way this works is that you will upload a content relevant PowerPoint
file for each of your spaces to your SlideShare account.
Then, adding a Title to the slide which MATCHES the URL for the
specific space, that file when put online through Slideshare.net
become in inbound link to your space, thus adding one more high
WARNING: As with most any upload site, if they decide you are
quality content link to boost your positioning in local search.
“spamming”, your account will get closed down. Spamming would be
uploading too many files at one time. So, keep it to a reasonable pace. It
would be recommended that you upload no more than 2 or 3 files per
week to play it safe. If you are following my recommended method for
getting your spaces positioned, then you are working on them ONE at a
time. So, uploading files at a pace of 2 or 3 per week should be more than
sufficient.
The process of using the SlideLinks System is very simple. The details of
each step are detailed on the beginning of the next page.
STEP 1 - Sign up for an account at http://www.SlideShare.net
Please read ALL of it before starting!!!
(that’s dot NET, not COM)
STEP 2 – Confirm your Email address to activate your account. SlideShare
will send you an email to the email address you registered with. You will
need to find that email, open it and click on the link that says, “Please
STEP 3 – Login to your NET SPACE Back Office and go down to the
confirm your email address”.

3. Find the first file you are going to Upload. Using “Catering” as an example,
you would put your mouse over the link “Catering” and then RIGHT CLICK
and select “SAVE LINK AS” and save it somewhere on your computer
where you will know how to access it (your Desktop is the recommended
location to save to).
STEP 4 – Go to the “UPLOAD” page in your account at SlideShare.
STEP 5 – Click on “UPLOAD” and that will open the File Menu of your
computer. Locate the file you just saved to your Desktop, select that file,
and click on “Open”
The file will begin immediately uploading to your SlideShare account.
Once your file is at 100% complete, you are done and ready to move to the
next step.
STEP 6 – Once your file is uploaded, the SlideShare platform will take a
few minutes to “convert” your file into a format that can be published in its
network.
You will know the process is complete when your file then shows in the
upload window.
Once fully uploaded and “published” you will need to click on “Edit” next to
the file name.

4. This will open up the section where you can add Titles, Tags, and
Descriptions.
Step 7 - THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP!
Adding a TITLE, TAGS, and DESCRIPTION to the uploaded file is what
creates the inbound link back to your specific space the file was
A = Title. Always put ONLY the URL for the Space this file is for in the
uploaded for. Very important!!!
TITLE field.
In my example I used “catering”, so my title is:
B = TAGS. We know from our Video uploading that “tags” are keywords
http://catering.inboulderarea.com
separated by commas. Don’t overdo it here. Keep it specific. In my
example, my tags are:
C = Description. Again, don’t overdo it. I simply repeat my tags and then
Local caterer, Boulder Colorado, catering in Boulder CO
add in my URL.
Once uploaded, saved and online, you can go to the top, right hand side of
your Account page and click on “My Uploads” and you will see the files
you have online.

5. Congratulations you have completed your first upload using the new
SlideLinks System!
Our recent experience has shown these files getting picked up by the
search engines very quickly and it appears that the search engines
consider SlideShare to be a very “credible” site. Therefore, the value or
“weight” the search engines put on the links found on SlideShare seem to
be high value! Great for boosting our local positioning quickly!
FINAL NOTE: As with all of the other uploads you do, I still strongly
recommend you do these in Internet Explorer. It seems to be the
most reliable browser for this kind of stuff. If you have trouble
getting the whole file to transfer then you will need to temporarily
loosen your security settings, turn off pop-up blockers and firewalls.
Once uploaded you can re-activate this stuff, but it is quite possible
taking these steps will be essential to complete most uploads/file
transfers.
