A cheap way to get Great BackLinks

[nowares]

I searched the forum but couldnt find this tip anywhere.....


Don't have much money to buy top quality links?
Annoyed by buying $100 links that die in a week?

Well this is a little tip i have used a few times and it works wonders!
Using mans best friend (yes i mean google), search for a high ranking Charity site.
Get in contact with the support and say how much you think there cause is a worthy one :)

Then offer a nice donation in return for a backlink on the most popular pages ;)
It works wonders for page rank, as charity sites are seen as un-biased by search engines.
It helps the charity by giving them the much needed cash.
AND the link will last ALOT longer, cost less, get more hits etc etc


Any feedback please?

Very nice tip indeed. May seem a bit sly but you're donating after all so why not?

Bets new tip I've seen in a while, well done.

[Nithanth]

Good thinking! It's a profit for both the charity website AND us.... very good tip :)

[kh7]

That is certainly sly. It will also not work long term (they will likely figure the trick out if too many people do it). Charities really are good pages to get links on though: will be trusted by google and get a lot of natural sympathy links themselves.

[Subzero]

Not quite a charity http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/donate.html but the same kind of idea :D

[MoveForward]

Agreed - one of the best tips I have heard in a while. Thanks.

[kh7]

Well, that's a very different amount. $500,- is a lot of money. Still, to have that pay for one link, indefinitely, on a high PR website is great service. Not sure one can count on that lasting indefinitely, but still.

If I were a charity website-owner I'd do something like that exactly: you give more than $200,- (or something) and you get a 'free' link on the 'sponsors' page - for a year, or two years or whatever. The difference being: the charity is in control and sets the minimum amount for the link - and also sets a boundary (the link stays up one year, two years, whatever).

Fantastic idea well worth the investment.

[casperl]

Thanks for the tip. I will try this idea. And here is an additional tip i thought now: if you dont want to search for charity sites, you can hire someone to do that.. :)

[nicknick]

great idea nowares.

[livingearth]

Heres a site using a similar approach, Not yet in the high pr range but has potential and represents a good cause. Showed up in my ibl checks quickly and sends few visitors here and there... (i recommend)

I heard of a similar technique a while back from the text-link-ads blog I think. They were talking about sponsoring blog sites which then provide a link back which is a newish technique for acquiring good links. Sometimes the cost is comparable to buying high quality links though. May not benefit you much if the link is not in a related industry. W3C has been giving links on high pr pages to "sponsors" but google caught on and asked them to add nofollow to the links because they were on PR 9 pages which probably were screwing with the SERPs.

[nowares]

i think the key to this method is making the charity feel in control and like your doin them a favour....

as i sed, probly best to contact the owner and say "I love your cause, its important to me ... blah blah".

Obviously don't goto cancer research to trade a cigarette wholesallers link lol

[MrX]

In other news today: record charity donations were made all over the Internet.

[Freewebspace]

I think its a very great idea but some charity owners aware of this may quote at a higher price I think so

[nicknick]

get it while the getting's good.

[nowares]

yeah, maybe i shouldnt have shared this here lol *buys links fast* :)

[totoros]

good idea although I wouldnt do it just to gain a backlink. I would want to do it to help out someone else. Of course, it doesn't hurt to try

[ahkip]

It would be great if your site is about charity. If not..it will be an unrelated link without much power

[weknowtheworld]

Wow... an excellent Tip

[cornetto]

I'm not sure about this "unrelated link without much power" stuff. I have seen my website traffic increase as a result of getting links from other sites, with no real correlation between the content on the other sites and mine. I mean, my website is a bit complicated and rambling, and I'd have trouble telling you what it was about myself, so how does Google know?

In Google's original specification about Page Rank, there was no mention of content relevance. So if they have added it in since then, I bet it doesn't count for more than 20% of the total weighting. I think that a link from a PR7 charity page to your website is going to give you a boost, regardless of the website relevance.

Anyone got any experience or proof that contradicts this?

[nowares]

i think your right, and even if it doesnt affect Page Rank greatly, the visits they could generate would still make it worth it :)

[nicknick]

I've noticed the same thing with high power sites. A good strong link from a trusted site will work very well even if it is not on topic. But for the regular links, it helps to have them on the same topic otherwise you need a ton of them before they make a difference to your search results.

You are right. PageRank has nothing to do with relevance. Search engine rankings, on the other hand, have quite a bit to do with relevance. Were you getting more traffic from organic search engine results? If so, you could see what terms you are ranking well for and that will give you an indication of what Google thinks that your site is about.

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip.

Awesome idea there! Repped for sure on this one. I do believe MrX said it all in his statement though. Very funny, going to happen. I am sure many lurkers here have already contacted thousands of charities across the internet. Leaving little old me just now reading the greatest thread in a long time in the dust!

[katoved]

Great tip. I have contacted numerous charities about this, and they all do it!

I think that sums it up. The thing is that google tries very hard to find out which links are spam - there only to change the serps. Related links are more likely to be trusted, because they are more likely to be 'real votes'. But from a trusted site, that doesn't sell links, there is always value in the link - even if it is totally unrelated.

[syia]

haha.. great tips gonna test it myself 1st

[nowares]

Nice to know some of you liked the tip. Shame the only rep I got was bad -_-

[motherknucker]

But what if the charity site owner remove the link after the donation ?

[BrianR2]

I doubt that would happen since charities aren't usually the type to try and scam people. You could also try a monthly payment plan with them.

[jamaican]

thank you Nowares for your tips

[BittenLip]

Not a bad idea at all, you could then chime in on your site that you donate to.....If you decide to try this out, let us know how it works out, please. We're considering donating portions of our sales to a charity and are looking at all possible angles.

[mluther]

I do accept that this is different thinking. But will all charity websites accept your request?
Will they not deny your request?
What is the time that links will be there in their website?

Probably I think in this manner. If you really like to donate? Do the donation and ask for a link as addon. I do not recommend to donate to get backlinks.

Though this is great idea pal. Thanks.
