From Web Design to Link Building

Don’t pay for backlinks! Don’t spend those $10 for a promised thousand backlinks! Those backlinks won’t help you! I’m CrescentSkies and I know this personally, I’ve paid for backlinks before and ended up with no change at all in my page rank. That’s because these sites promise low quality backlinks! A single high quality backlink you earn through my methods could be worth a thousand of theirs.

The Myths About Backlinks

First let us take a look at some of the myths surrounding backlinks and SEO marketing in general.

Myth 1: The Number of Backlinks is More Important than the Quality

Completely false, I could easily get a thousand backlinks if I wanted with some simple random posting in various websites. The quality of the link is of great importance to your page rank. Posting a thousand backlinks sounds all well and good, but if your website is trying to sell a Pregnancy Guide to women do you really want 586 backlinks from a porn site?

Myth 2: All I Need to do is Post My Link

Once again, wrong wrong Wrong. You need to make your backlinks surrounded by relevant and well thought out text. If you post a backlink on a blog comment and surround it with a quality post with keywords relevant to your site the search engines and crawlers will lap it up! It’s like nectar to them.

Myth 3: Buying Backlinks Will Help Me Get Started

Get started with what? Unless it’s a backlink service where you are paying a human being to go through and make quality backlinks for you, you’re going to end up with a thousand useless links and be stuck with a PR of N/A. Even if you’re paying a human to do it, you’re not guaranteed that they’ll make golden backlinks for you. They might skip out and make a few hundred on a link farm or a low quality website.

Now that you know the myths it’s time to learn the truths.

The Facts About Backlinks

These are pretty straight forward, I don’t even need to explain them!

1. Backlinks posted on websites with similar keywords to yours get you better ranking

2. Backlinks posted on or in high quality blog comments surrounded with relevant keywords get you better ranking

3. Backlinks posted in articles about a subject similar to your website’s will get you better ranking

4. Backlinks posted in social networking will get you a huge amount of traffic and possibly better ranking

5. Backlinks posted on social bookmarking services are not always reliable but will improve your rank

These are 5 simple facts to keep in mind. And better yet the explain the 5 methods of getting backlinks!

1. Website Guest Posts

2. Blog Comments

3. Articles

4. Social Networking

5. Social Bookmarking

Posting on these 5 sources will get you a huge amount of traffic and a better page rank, but how do you do it?

Step 1: Getting Guest Posts On Websites

Not all websites allow guest posting, but some do. Especially ones that update regularly. The best way to get this type of backlink is to look around for websites in your niche that have a “guest book” feature. You can include a critical comment about their website or product, place your link in the proper area, and earn yourself a free medium to high quality backlink!

Step 2: Getting Better Blog Comments

This one is actually easy! Go to Google Blogs (google search for it if you can’t find it) and simply enter your keywords in the search box. Other blogs with similar keywords will pop up, what you’re looking for are blogs with this type of comment setup:

Name

E-mail

Website

If they don’t have this comment setup then there is no point in commenting, except to speak your mind. Use something similar to your keywords in the “Name” section. For example if you’re running a video game website, in the “name” section put “Xbox Gamer” or “video Game Lover”.

Step 3: Using Articles To Build Backlinks

This is my favorite way to build backlinks simply because it’s so easy. Instead of finding blogs or websites with quality content and matching keywords to yours, THEN the process of convincing a webmaster or blog owner to confirm your comment/guest post and finalizing the backlink, you can just write an article about your topic and place a backlink in it. Gaming websites can write an article about a new Xbox game and link back to their site, political websites can write an article on the latest discussions and include a link back to their site, etc. etc. The following sites are some good ones to use for articles:

1. Triond

2. Ezine

3. GoArticles

Triond is my favorite, they’ll let you write about basically anything and as long as you have good content they’ll be happy to include your links. Plus you’ll get paid! After calculations I’ve concluded that every view will on average grant you 0.02 cents USD. It’s not much but it’s a nice bonus considering you’re practically getting paid to generate backlinks.

Ezine is a little less loveable, they’re more restrictive on their content and format and don’t like you using a lot of links. You have to really work to make these articles.

GoArticle is pretty good but you won’t generate a ton of backlinks with it like they claim. I’ve counted about 4 backlinks to my sites from GoArticles.

Step 4: Maximizing Your Exposure With Social Networking

So you think twitter, facebook, myspace, linkedin, and tumblr are just for kids with too much time on their hands? Wrong. If used properly it can be one of the greatest tools to build up your exposure. Remember to add both friends and acquaintances to your network first, then start posting like you normally would and start adding friends of friends. The more friends you have in common the more likely they’ll be to add you. But it all depends on your niche, some are easy to attract people to some aren’t. The best social networking websites to use are:

1. Facebook (best)

2. Twitter

3. Tumblr

4. Myspace

5. Linkedin

6. Orkut

7. Google+

8. Youtube

I list facebook first because it’s the easiest to get friends on. And friends will see your link. I list google+ last because although a lot of people have started using it, it’s not that easy to get a network going.

Here is an article on how to gain twitter followers and maximize your exposure, it’s recommended you use all of these networking tools though:

Four Easy Steps to Get More Twitter Followers

Youtube was listed last due to it’s rather…interesting nature with backlinks. Basically the more highly ranked your video is, the more views, likes, favorites, and dislikes your video has the better a backlink from youtube can be. Also Youtube isn’t the recommended choice for backlinks simply because each video you make has to to be relevant to your website for the backlink to be any good, and on top of that you have to get your video ranked highly not just your website. More work for you, less gain for you, unless you already have a successful Youtube account that is. If you’re set on getting every possible backlink method done, this article will help you build your video’s ranking:

Six Steps To Get More Youtube Views

Step 5: Using Social Bookmarking

First thing you need to understand, What Is Social Bookmarking? It’s actually pretty simple, you know how you can save websites to favorites on just about every browser? It’s effectively saving websites to favorites in a way other people can view it. It’s fairly easy to get the backlinks on these bookmarking sites, but slightly difficult to get them up in quality.

The reason I both like and hate bookmarking sites is because your backlink’s quality scales with how many views, likes, etc. it’s received. A backlink with 5,000 likes and 100,000 views will be considered a top quality PR 10 equivalent backlink. A backlink that’s received 1 like and only been viewed 5 times will be considered a crappy backlink. So remember, don’t automatically share your links the second you sign up for these sites! Build a following, post comments, like other people’s links that aren’t in your niche, get people to wonder what you’ll do next, then post up your links. Those little things you do beforehand is the difference between a PR 3 and a PR 10 backlink.

Some good social bookmarking sites are:

1. Digg.com

2. Delicious.com

3. Orkut

4. Stumbleupon

5. Hi5.com

6. LinkedIn.com

There are more but these are the easiest to use. If you don’t really have time to submit to all of these though, there is a good organic and best of all, FREE, service that I like to use each time I make something new called Social Monkee. Here’s an article explaining Social Monkee:

One Last Note

You need to pay close attention not only to what backlinks you have, but to where. In SEO there’s something called the trickle down effect, if you have a really high quality article but it doesn’t exactly match up to your website, don’t backlink to your website in the article. Make another article to act as the interim between the higher quality article and your website, or make another interim if it’s necessary. The quality will trickle down to your own website as the others in the web get more popularity.

Please Support This Lens

As it is many unfortunate souls still pay for backlinks and get scammed out of hundreds or even thousands from these “paid backlinking services”. If you know someone who is, has been, or may be scammed by these con artists please share the information in this lens.

Also please support this lens by sharing it via twitter, facebook, and digg (and whatever other social networking site you may use).

Thank you.

Of late, internet business people are up and about trying to build free banklinks to their websites. This is mainly because; search engines like Google are using a backlinks to index websites. It is for this reason I repeat that long gone are the days when best page ranking was only reserved for the internet marketing gurus. Today, you too can strategically position yourself and generate free traffic to your blog or website.

On this article I want to share with you just some few tips on building free banklinks thus get the best page ranking.

* Make sure that all your inbound links are from valuable websites. Using the Google Search for a particular targeted keyword, list the top 20 competing sites. You can also use Yahoo search explorer tool to help you get the back links to the top sites. Arrange the results in descending order, starting from the best. Once this is done you can then link to these sites.

* Submitting your link to search directories is also a great idea of building free backlinks. The best strategy is to target niche directories. Take into account that some directories take some time before listing their results while others take just a few days. Since search engines view websites that get back links in a short period suspiciously, go for directories that take a longer time before listing submitted URLs.

* For me Article Marketing is the best strategy to build free backlinks. This is mainly because it is gradual hence search engines will not view your website as getting inbound links too fast. Article directories allow authors to include links in the resource box which lead back to their website thus generating traffic and back links. The other thing about article directories is that they are friendly to search engines hence they have best page rankings.

I would advise you to register yourself in several article submitting websites and start posting quality content. Remember to make sure that your articles are rich in keywords and you are sre to with time get yourself on the first page of Google.

Follow the links below to learn more on Building Free Banklinks and Best Page Ranking Strategies.

Building backlinks for free can put your site on the first page of Google. That translates into a huge boost in traffic to your blog or website. What I intend to share with you is an simple to use, free approach designed to create numerous one way backlinks to you site.

As I was reviewing the statistics of an article that I posted, to one of the better article directories, I chose to click on a link that grabbed my attention. Here, I found out about a approach in place to help you start building backlinks to your blog for free. You can obtain up to 120 one way links going back to your website or blog for each article you submit, for free. This is how it works…

Building Backlinks For Free

A lot of blog owners are interested in a way to have quality articles posted to their blog on a consistent basis. This helps them satisfy their visitors with brand new content and helps them keep their search engine ranking. So they will allow this service to post your information with links back to your site or blog in them.

The articles you submit must include a minimum of 450 words. You can include two links going back to any site, blog, article, lens, or hub page you wish. You get to choose the blogs and the categories you want your information appearing on. For free, you can select up to 30 blogs where your content will appear.

Every post made to each blog will additionally include a tag page where your articles will be displayed. A tag is a specific keyword or keyword phrase you want your articles to be associated with. When you add these up, 2 links for every article posted to 30 blogs (60 links) with the addition of a tag page posting (60 additional links) gives you up to 120 links back to where you desire. All this for free, it’s awesome!

The major search engines, including Google, will see these links associated to your site and rank your site more favorably. One thing you should be aware of is that you would like your article to appear as being unique, ideally on each blog it’s appearing on. This free system has the capability of posting information that you spin. What spinning does is allow you to use synonyms for words in your articles so your content appears as being unique to the search engine robots. A video tutorial shows you how to spin your content.

Personally, I started using this system to augment how I’m building backlinks to my blog. Article marketing is one of my MLM lead generation strategies. In this strategy, you create an article for a particular keyword targeted market, spin it, and submit it to about 200 article directories. I use Automatic Article Submitter to spin and auto submit all my articles. Now all I do is take the spun version of my content, do some minor spin reformatting and submit them to this free service for posting to the blogs I select. It’s a no brainer.

An additional thing you’ll like about this system is that they send your content to two or three blogs per day. This is important, as it is building backlinks to your website or blog as they would occur naturally. This procedure is definitely more promising for search engine ranking. As your links increase in ranking so does your site traffic. If you learn to use this service wisely and choose good keywords, you might get your site on the first page of Google and that means enormous amounts of traffic. Learn to convert that traffic into leads and sales and who knows, you may be the next Internet success story.

It would be nice to think that you could just build a few good quality pages on Squidoo and then sit back and watch the traffic and money roll in – but this rarely happens.

Many of the top lensmasters who are making an income from Squidoo don’t rely on people finding their lenses by accident, and one way to get higher rankings, more traffic and income for your work is by building backlinks to your Squidoo lenses.

There are many ways to get backlinks and you probably already know about writing and submitting articles to article directories, using Twitter and Facebook as well as social bookmarking, but here I am going to look at some places you may not use yet.

I will also tell you about my two Secret Weapons that I use to create great backlinks to my lenses.

Using Your Squidoo RSS Feed

Your Squidoo account has an RSS feed. The easiest way to find this is to go to Squid Utils sign in using your Squidoo user name and click on the “Lensmaster RSS Feeds” link.

A place you can submit all your RSS feeds is RSS6. You will need to create an account here but then you can submit as many feeds as you like for free.

The best thing about RSS6 is that each feed you submit creates an individual webpage, that you can then promote by pinging if you wish – this isn’t essential and this site creates great backlinks which get indexed in the Search Engines rapidly.

Then all you need to do is go back to rss6.com every few weeks and update your feed (click one button) to show your most recently built/updated lenses.

Squidoo Directories

There are several sites that have been set up specifically as directories of Squidoo Lenses. You can use any or all of these for links but I have found the most effective one to be Squidom.com.

SquidUtils provides you with a handy list of these directories here.

My Secret Weapon #1 – ABC Plugin

First of all and most importantly, you can only use this method if you own a self-hosted WordPress blog.

Install this plugin on any blog you own and you can submit 550 links – for your Squidoo lenses, your own sites/blogs, your Hubpages, your articles published on article directories or whatever you like – if you don’t have 550 different urls to submit you can use the same one several times. Each link can have 3 or 4 anchor text keywords and be put into different categories. Your links then appear randomly on the 11,000+ blogs in the network in the form of a blogroll link. These blogs are all owned by different people using the plugin so will be on different hosts/servers, in different countries and on different ip addresses so there is a great deal of link variety. In return your blog will show 10/12 links in whatever category you choose to other people’s sites.

The Automatic Backlink Creator plugin costs $37 a month which in my opinion is good value for money for what it does.

I have been using this plugin for several months and it consistently builds dozens of indexed links to my Squidoo lenses. There are several other functions of this plugin but this is the main one I use it for.

The plugin costs $37 a month from this link Automatic Backlink Creator

Ask me any questions about this plugin below.

My Secret Weapon #2 – Build My Rank

This is my secret weapon for building powerful backlinks to my Squidoo lenses. Using Build My Rank is extremely simple but don’t let this simplicity fool you – it is VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE! If you want to see your lenses (or sites) on page 1 of Google for your keywords – you need this.

You just write articles 150+ words long (these are not even long enough to be called articles really) incorporating your desired keyword – place in the title and in the first sentence for best results – and submit them to BMR. They publish your articles on their own quality network of blogs (PR0-PR7) and then get them indexed by the Search Engines so that your links count FAST!

Build My Rank costs $59 a month for 5 domains – but ALL your Squidoo lenses only count as one domain! Take the FREE trial for a spin to find out how it works.
