Getting Backlink Guide

One of the components of getting traffic from the search
engines is to have another site linking to you.

You want to get links from a site that is frequently
visited by the search engine spiders. The spiders will
crawl the site and find the link to your page.

To find sites that get visited by the spiders frequently,
you can view the pagerank of the sites. I will not go into
detail about how Google determines pagerank or even what
pagerank is for brevity.

You can find the pagerank of a site by either installing
the Google toolbar or visiting third party sites such as:

Sites are given pagerank between 0 and 10. A rule of thumb
is that you’ll want to get links from sites with a pagerank
of at least 5. Those sites get visited by the search engine
spiders at least once a day.

To get links from sites with pagerank of 5 you can send the
webmaster a link exchange request, submit content for their
sites or you can take the simple method as outlined below.

Ezinearticles.com is a site where people visit and submit
their articles for other publishers to use as content on
their sites. You can go there and sign up for free to
submit your own articles.

If your articles are approved, then they’ll be published on
that site and you’ll have a link to your sites. If you
check the pagerank of Ezinearticles.com, you’ll find that
it’s a pagerank 6 site.

Just recently, Ezinearticles.com has added a commenting
feature where you can put comments about any article.

Here’s how to comment on any of the more than 150k+
articles in EzineArticles.com’s database:

1. Go to http://EzineArticles.com and find an article about
something of personal or business interest you want to
comment on.

2. Click on the “Comments” link directly under the TITLE of
the article.

3. Add your Comment

4. Enter the CAPTCHA code to authenticate you are a human

5. Within a business day or so, your comment will be
reviewed by a human editor that is part of their comment
management team.

6. You will receive an email after your comment is
approved.

Now you can get a link back to your site without having to
write an article. Submitting a comment is only suggested if
you simply want the spiders to crawl your sites. I still
suggest writing and submitting your own articles for the
full benefit of one way links to your site.

There are many sites that you can get links from without
sending an email to the webmaster and waiting for a reply.
You just have to keep your eyes open and be aware of each
site’s pagerank.

As SEO professionals we are constantly searching for ways to get our sites ranked and indexed better.

We all know that backlinks are “life blood” that get a site ranked higher in the search engines.

Black hat SEO experts in the quest to get one way backlinks till now relied on various methods like blog comment spam and referer log spam.

The latest technique is using social bookmarking to get one way back links.

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is utilizing a web service, where users create a public repository of bookmarks pertaining to sites that they like.

The concept of social bookmarking dates back to 1996 with the launch of itList.com, followed by services like Blink and hotlinks and many more. But,the popularity of Social Bookmarking increased with the advent of the most popular bookmarking site till date, del.icio.us.

To the uninitated, these bookmarks may seem like geekspeak, but from an SEO standpoint these can build you a massive amount of backlinks which seem to originate from authority sites.

So how does one go about utilizing these social bookmarking services?

You simply sign up for an account and then post your urls. Each post requires you to enter the url, a title for the anchor text, a short description and of course the tags under which you want your link bookmarked.

A tag is a keyword which acts like a subject or category. Each user “tags” a webpage or image using his own unique tag. An image or webpage may have multiple tags that identify it. Webpages and images with identical tags are then linked together and users may use the tag to search for similar webpages and images.

Most of these services give you a personalized book mark page that has all your bookmarks displayed, and though when you start out the pagerank of your personalized page might be zero, it slowly builds up over time.

An additional important point worth looking at is that each tag page on the site has a pagerank which gets passed on to your site.

For example the page for the tag “advertising” has a pagerank of 3.

Below is a list of various services that you can utilize to boost your page rank

1) http://del.icio.us/ : This one of the most popular of all social bookmarking sites and has a huge pagerank of 8.

2) http://digg.com: Digg is a technology news website where users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do. Digg is a site with a pagerank of 7

3) http://www.reddit.com, Page Rank 7

4) http://www.blinklist.com, page rank 6

5) http://www.simpy.com, page rank 6

A great way to get visitors to your sites to bookmark your website is using a neat service available at http://ekstreme.com/socializer/

This service provides a small snippet of code that when added to your site creates a special link on your site. When any visitor clicks on this link they are provided with a large list of social bookmarking sites which they can add your site to.
In case your website is a wordpress blog a similar wordpress plugin called Sociable that can be found at http://push.cx/sociable

Thus, using social bookmarking you can improve the ranking of your website and gain valuable pagerank.

There have been so much fuss about how to get the best links back to your site. A lot suggested that reciprocal linking is the way to go and yet you get this reminders that not necessarily all backlinks are credited by search engine specially Google to a particular site if such link source is not related to your site.

Another is the submission to website directories which is a really over rated form of pr improvement, the benefits of submitting to these directories is not equal to the effort you put into it.

Directory Submission is a very tiring process where you must first find which directories are free submission sites because as a personal experience most of the website directories on the web are paid services. Some would even cloak product marketing by using a commonly formatted paid directory submission software just to improve the homepage visibility and pr rank.

And the most discouraging about website directory submission is that in the process of adding your site to the directory many of the free directory submission site would require you to immediately put up a reciprocal link to their site even before your site is approved. The result would be they do not approve your site and their site already has a backlink from your site.

Now, you would think that how can that be a problem?

Why dont you just erase their site if your site doesnt get approved. EASIER SAID THAN DONE! imagine compiling around 300 to 500 directory sites and submitting your site to all these site. Would you think you will have the energy to check site number 20 or 35 or 58 if they have approved your site if you are busy submitting your site to directory site number 90 or say site number 134? I dont think so.

For me and for the majority of the wise internet marketers the number 1 most effective way of improving backlinks and in the process promoting your product or site with a personal touch is …. ARTICLE SUBMISSION

Here are a few advantages of Article Submission:

1. Your get the much coveted backlink needed for the improvement of PR ranking of your site

2. You get the personal touch of promoting your site or product to the reader of the article.

3. Unlike reciprocal linking and website directory submissions…. Article Submission is a viral process.

Articles is a much coveted content source for ezine publishers and website owners. Imagine submitting your well written article to a highly popular Article Bank Site such as Article Avenue.com or Goarticles.com which are a source of articles for hundreds or even thousands of hungry content webmasters and then finding your article in 100 or more ezine and content sites in just a matter of weeks.

In my own experience after submitting my article to the big boys such as Article Avenue and Article City etc. in just a months time i already have hundreds of backlinks hitting my site not mentioning that my article is in the top 10 of its major keyword in major search engines.

Now, wouldnt that be a hell lot of a lighter job to accomplish!

Here is the Process of ARTICLE SUBMISSION:

Start making your article now and put a lot of thinking into it because one well written article is all you need to get your site to the top.

After creating your article submit it immediately to the big movers of articles which are:

1. Article Avenue.com (http://www.articleavenue.com) - Highly Recommended this site has a superb seo strategy that will help boost your article in the search ranking and also rotates all articles in the database in the its homepage making your articles ageless. Source of hundreds of content and ezine sites. No Popups.

2. Goarticles.com(http://goarticles.com)- Recommended Has a wide range of categories for your article and also a major source of articles by content sites. No Popups.

3. Articlecity.com(http://articlecity.com)- Has a large following of web authors and also a major source of articles by content sites. With Popups.

After submitting to a few other more article directories, just sit and wait for the fruits of your not so hard but effective labor.

Goodluck and See you at the top.
