I Want To Learn About Link Building

November 27th, 2008 |

John signed up at IMMembership.com yesterday and said he wanted to know more about link building, so I decided to answer him as fully as I can today.

Firstly before any sort of link building is done you need to have a website with content. This can also be an affiliate link redirect, but I would always use some form of content.

Now this man John used an e-mail that was from a domain he owned, so I went along to have a look. I wanted to see if I could get some background on him, but the site is just a fresh wordpress installation. I had a look using the way back machine as the domain is well over 4 years old, but there is nothing but a holding page to see.

There is something holding this man back from building a site and in most cases this is either that the person is chasing the next ‘greatest thing’ or they are worrying over building the best site in the world.

START TODAY. Get something up on the site, even if it a ‘I don’t know where to start, but I will’ kind of thing

Now once you have something on your site you can start building links. Below is a list of how to do build links, in no particular order. You will no doubt have seen this list before, but if you don’t do them you will not get backlinks. People always seem to think there is something missing and 99.9% of the tilme there is … they do not take action.

1) Social bookmarking - use a keyword rich title, description and as many tags/keywords as you can. Varying your title and description will help too.

2) Article Marketing - Completely unique articles will do the best, but If you are no good at writing you can just write one unique article and spin/re-write it to be about 40% unique (although the more unique the better) and submit it to the article directories. You can check the uniqueness for free at Dupecop.

3) Submit your RSS feed to the RSS Directories - if you have a html or php or asp site and are not using a blogging platform like wordpress that gives you a feed automatically visit Dapper.net and get an rss feed.

4) Trackback - this is only relevant to wordpress users, but if you link to another wordpress users blog post and they have trackbacks enabled they will see the post you made the next time they log into their dashboard and can approve or not approve it like a comment. Most people approve these trackbacks giving you a relevant backlink.

Now this list of 4 ways is not in any way exhaustive. You can also comment on other people’s blogs and post in forums with a link in your signature to your site. Like I have said more than once the most important thing is to start and once you have a few links in forums and on other people’s blogs and in the social sites other people will start to link to you too, if your content is worth linking to of course

A great example is at the end of this post there is a link with the title ‘Related articles by Zemanta’. Zemanta is a firefox add on that integrates with your wordpress dashboard. It might integrate with blogger too, I’m not sure. Anyway the link below was a suggestion from them on related content to what I am writing about in this post. Now the guy who wrote the article on the link missed out any links to his website in his article which completely defeats the object of article writing, but it still proves my point. People CAN and WILL find your website and use your content if you put it out there.

So get to it. Create 10 links to your site every day in the hope to get 4 and after a month you could have as many as 300 backlinks meaning you would beat most of your competition out of the water.

Let me know what you do to get backlinks or if you have had success doing the above. I love to hear from you.

Yes OR No To Automatic Updating Content?

April 12th, 2008 |

Author: Kelly Ifrah

This seems to be a hot topic at the moment, just next to site builders, which is a whole other topic.

There are very expensive scripts and website builders on the market that will allow you to build large sites, but they are not guaranteed to be human readable. If properly optimised this does not matter to the search engines as their bots (spiders) are not real people and cannot read.

If you are a marketer that is happy to ‘take no prisoners’ (be black hat) in your aim to make money online with adsense or affiliate programs or both then this is probably the best way to go. I will keep a look at what is on the market and let you know what I can find.

If you are looking to make more of an ‘honest living’ (be white hat) then you should creating sites that offer some value to your visitors. Of course you can use adsense and promote affiliate products at the same time, but even one new article every other week (which can cost as little as $5 each) added to your site, submitted to an article directory and promoted to 2 or 3 social bookmarking sites will be good, new, fresh content for the spiders as well as your visitors and you can target LSI (Latent Semantic Index) keywords to your main keyword boosting your position in the search engines.

Of course, the best of both worlds is to do a bit of both

There is a neat little product for your website that will allow you to add hot, fresh, search engine optimized, keyword-targeted blog content to your site automatically and you can click here to read more about it. With this easy to install script you can build a few pages or thousands of pages instantly, which is all real content written by real people and not have any spam pages.

These are my personal views and you should always do what you think is best for you, your website and your niche. Let me know what your views are by leaving a comment below or posting about this on your blog and using the trackback url.
