If you would like to make money giving this book away please click here for details Imagine for a moment that you have in your possession a source of complete and total power. You alone can command the warmth of the sun, the fall of the rain, the turn of the tides and the direction of the winds. What would you do with this kind of power? Would you abuse it causing the world to fall into utter chaos? Would you be benevolent and merciful, using your power to help the people of your planet achieve their ultimate potential?

Unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be) there is no way for a person to have that much power. Mother Nature controls the planetary systems according to her own rules and her own designs. You will never be able to have utter control over the environment you are inhabiting.

What if you could, however, have the power to determine the course of your own life? What if you could accomplish great things and acquire great riches just by using the power of your own mind? What if I told you that this does not have to be a “what if?” What if I told you that you possess in your psyche the power to chart the course of the rest of your life on whatever path you see fit?

Chances are you would tell me that I had obviously been watching too much Sci- Fi and needed to get out of the house more often, not to mention my obvious need to expand my vocabulary, considering the number of times I have used “what if” in this conversation. You would be wrong (about the Sci-Fi, anyway). Every person holds in their mind the power to shape the events of their life to achieve whatever end they see fit. This power is what is known as the law of attraction.

What is the Law of Attraction?

The belief held by many theorists is that the universe is governed by a set of universal laws; these laws cannot be changed, cannot be broken and apply to every individual, regardless of age or nationality. These laws are the riverbanks which guide the flow of their lives on its journey to its ultimate end.

The law of attraction is one such law. The law of attraction is the belief that anyone can determine their destiny through the power of their minds. "The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thoughts. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking." Joseph Murphy

The History of the Law of Attraction

Before we go too deep into the modern applications of the law of attraction it is important that you understand that this is not simply New Age nonsense (most descriptions of the law of attraction refer to it as a product of a New Age Mentality). The principles of the law of attraction date back far beyond the new found popularity of the New Age.

The immortal Buddha was actually one of the first to introduce man to the law of attraction. He said, “What you have become is what you have thought.” This was a principle that the people of the east were acquainted with for centuries before it began to sweep into the western hemisphere.

The concept of karma also may have drawn its roots from the law of attraction. Karma states that you will eventually be revisited by that which you have sent out into the universe. If you have practiced kindness and compassion you will receive in kind. If you have been deliberately cruel to another you will receive back into your life that cruelty which you have sent out. Your actions and thoughts morph into physical entities, causing the universe to react in kind.

The law of attraction began to gain popularity in the western hemisphere in the 19th century, as people began to appreciate the power of positive thinking and apply it to their life. This new concept was first introduced to the general public by William Walker Atkinson, the editor of New Thought magazine, who published a book called Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World in 1906.

As you can see, the law of attraction is not new. The concept that thought can have a predominate affect on the course of a man’s destiny has been taught by wise men throughout the ages, and has given rise to a whole new era of beliefs.

What is the Premise of the Law of Attraction?

The theory behind the law of attraction is the belief that energy attracts like energy in the vast expanse of space and time that comprises our universe. Each person’s being is constantly radiating energy out into space; the type of energy being radiated is determined by the emotional state of the individual in question and may differ from day to day-sometimes even hour to hour!

This emotional energy is what is commonly known as a “vibe” and is referred to as a vibration by scientists studying the law of attraction. Chances are that you are familiar with the term. Have you ever been with someone who is so happy they seem to be radiating a “glow which inspires happiness in all those around them? By the same token, have you ever spent time with someone who was so critical and unhappy that they consistently gave off a “negative vibe” which seemed to suck the life and happiness out of all those around them?

You do not have to possess psychic powers to be able to feel the vibes that people emit; this energy is very real on a psychological plane and will affect anyone, anywhere at any time. Our vibrations are usually an unconscious response to some form of environmental stimulus; something has happened which has caused us to feel happy, or sad, or scared, or confused, or stressed, etc., and our subconscious response to this (because vibes are generated and projected from the subconscious rather than the conscious) is something that is beyond our control.

Chances are the person who is emitting a negative vibe does not choose to be unhappy, nor do they wish to inflict their unhappiness on all those around them by the simple fact of their presence. (Before you say what you are thinking, yes, there are some exceptions to this rule. Misery does love company and there are many who take a great deal of delight in inflicting their pain on other people. It is important to understand that this is not usually done in a desire to cause others pain but out a desire to not feel so alone in their unhappiness. But we digress…)

There are a number of feelings which lead to positive and negative vibes being emitted, and it is important before we continue on any form of discussion about the law of attraction that you understand what each of these are (you’ll understand the reasons for this a little later).

Article Directory Goals

Define why you are starting an article directory.

People that start article directories usually do so for one of two reasons:

1. To make money from other people’s work.

2. To have quality backlinks to their primary site from a related niche site with an ever expanding set of posts without having to write a single word themselves.

A WordPress powered article directory is perfect for highly targeted niches that are competitive because there are usually a lot of articles being written on these subjects. A few of these niches are:

Weight loss

Psychic readings

Forex

And many more

Tip: Do NOT try to do a general article directory like EzineArticles to make money or get backlink power because you will NOT be satisfied with the results.

You need massive traffic to an article directory before monetizing with Adsense is worth the effort of maintaining the site. A niche article directory will increase the targeting BUT most authors don’t structure their articles in a way for Adsense to bring in more than pennies per click.

Forget about using your authors as a mailing list because it will be unresponsive IF your message is even read.

As the owner of a niche article directory, you may profit by giving a free course on something related to the niche or by using a plugin that dynamically links to affiliate or CPA offers.

My personal preference is to place text links to my primary site in the sidebar using anchor text I choose so EVERY published article is also a backlink to my New WordPress Plugin Gold members receive SEO tips, plugins, reviews and much more.

site. (When search engines index each page or post, the links on the sidebar are indexed with that page or post.)

Choose Your Niche

The niche you choose for your article directory depends on your primary niche.

If your primary business fits into the weight loss niche, you would probably want your article directory in that niche too.

Backlinks from this niche directory have the potential to carry more authority than other backlinks.

To maximize the authority and effectiveness of these backlinks, place your article directory on a different IP. Example: If your primary host is HostGator, I recommend WordPress friendly BlueHost.

You can use your own host IF you have hosting that includes multiple IP addresses. Search engines value incoming links from different IPs more than links from the same range of IPs even when the anchor text is on target.

Placing your niche article directory on the same hosting account as your primary site means you will need to work MUCH harder to get the backlink power you deserve.

Your niche article directory will also rank better if it is a .com, .net or .org with no monetization for at least the first 30 days.

Do a Manual WordPress Install

Scripts that automate your install may leave footprints that can be exploited.

Every site online is a potential target for hackers. The more visible your site is the more likely you will be targeted.

WordPress takes security seriously and every update usually fixes a few holes and some third party plugins add another layer of security to your blog.

Keep the script and plugins up to date AND back up both your files and database on a regular basis.

I rarely, if ever, use a one or two click WordPress installer because I know less than ethical people will study these web based installers to see if there are any weaknesses that can be exploited to gain entry into your WordPress installation.

You control a manual install and the information you provide is unlikely to be the same as someone else’s.

I STRONGLY recommend that you use something other than just plain admin as the nickname for the blog administrator. This is a common footprint that makes one less thing that has to be figured out by someone attempting to break into your blog. blogadmin, blogboss, etc. are going to be harder to guess. You can enter your name in the user profile and display it so the username isn’t revealed.

Recommended Plugins

These plugins WILL help you reach your goal.

Add Sig – This plugin lets you automatically define a signature that will be added to the folder of each post. This is a great place to put something like “Presented by XYZ article directory where we value of your comments on the articles that you read. Please take a minute to post your comments below thank you.” which will automatically be displayed at the end of the post.

AdRotate – This plugin is for monetization purposes. It is best used to create one or more groups of banners for advertising. Each of these groups can be placed in a different zone that you create somewhere on your theme. The zones can be in the header, above the post, below the post or in the sidebar.

Advertising Manager - This extremely useful plugin lets you easily add videos, PayPal buttons, CPA offers, other monetization scripts or opt-in boxes to your posts or theme without the WordPress script getting messed up by the code you add. You place a tag in your post where you want the data to be placed and the plugin places it without code being broken by WordPress.

Akismet - This spam catcher is included with the WordPress core files but you need a WordPress API key from www.wordpress.com (free) to use it.

All in One SEO Pack - This plugin is one most experienced WordPress users feel is essential to them for free targeted traffic from the search engines. Once set up, many search engine optimization tasks are completed automatically for you. Some of the things that can be done are:

Automatic placement of the post or page title before the blog name. (This is important because the first 60 characters of the title are used to index your post or page.)

Automatically use the tags you enter for a post as META keywords. (Meta crawlers like Dogpile still visit search engines and sites looking for websites that use META keywords to show their searchers.)

Autogenerate a 160 character description for the posts you write and it will truncate at 160 characters. (Most search engines display the first 160 characters of a description and truncate the rest.) You can manually New WordPress Plugin Gold members receive SEO tips, plugins, reviews and much more.

create your description when you write your posts and pages which I highly recommend. Truncated descriptions don’t look as professional or entice clicks from prospects as well.
