Here's a simple strategy for building backlinks: Building oneway backlinks from high PageRank sites is a MUST if you want to get your pages or blog into some high ranking search engine positions. The easiest way to get backlinks is to put them on the high PR sites yourself! Hunt Old High PR Posts For Backlinks 1) Find a blog in your niche/market that's been around for at least a year. This also works with Digg.com posts. 2) Search through the archives and find the oldest, highest ranking PR pages. 3) Comment on those pages and don't forget to anchor your link with your main keyword. If you do this 5 times per day, you could build 5 easy PR 3, 4, and 5 backlinks per day. You'll save a lot of time swapping for high PR backlinks. Plus these are one-way high PR links – the most valuable kind! If you can do this 10x per day for a year, then you'll easily get 3,650 backlinks from PR 3, 4, and 5 pages. However, some blogs have no-follow set, which means search engines won't follow your URLs in your comments. But... tons are do-follow because bloggers are encouraging comments this way. Here's a good directory of blogs that follow: courtneytuttle.com/blogs-that-follow Be sure to anchor your link with the keyword you want to rank high for in the search engines!
Good tips, nice idea to look for the older posts that have become established with higher authority and PR. Thanks for sharing!
When I tried this on Digg and then looked at the HTML, it looks like links in comments are no-follow.
Another good tip is to use Google to look for relevant dofollow blogs, by using a query such as: “Remember my personal information†“your niche†“Notify me of follow-up comments†Then going through the blogs and checking if they are dofollow. Go through my post on building backlinks from blogs for a detailed guide and some additional tips to speed this process up.
Is there an easier way to find these high PR interior posts then having to look through each and every one?
That's exactly what I was wondering. How do you know which posts are high PR without opening each and everyone of them?
You can get the free seo for firefox plugin. Get the indexed pages listed using google (site:http://theSitedotcom) and the plugin will make it easy to check the pr of each page. Still a tedious task though especially if the site has many pages indexed.
Again, this is what we've all been doing. Is there any way to use Google to search through a site and pull up all the pages in search? We could then expand to 100 results per page and rank the pages via PR using the plugin. Come on guys, I know someone has found out how to do this!
They don't pass PR juice, but they still help your SERP. Exactly! Google does crawl nofollow links, they just don't pass PR. They still help your rank potion in search though. Well not really, but you can use tools to automate/speed up the process. Well yes of course! But now if we gave away all the secrets then they would stop working. I will say that you can use a tool like Scrapebox or a number of others. Use some crafty search strings, like the one mentioned earlier in this thread, to narrow it down. Really the key with the search strings is to find out things on the page that will make it likely to be a commentable blog. Like adding -"comments are closed" etc.. or adding +"powered by (insert your platform/CMS here)" With a scraping tool you can scrape lots of URLS that have a high likely hood of being what your after. Then just use a tool to do a mass DOMAIN Page Rank check. Then visit blogs with good domain page rank. See if the comments are dofollow. I like the stylish addon that can be found here, it makes finding dofolow/nofollow easier: http://www.inlineseo.com/blog/2008/06/10/how-to-easily-spot-nofollow-links/ Code (markup): If they are do follow then you can do a site search in Yahoo site explorer and pull all the indexed pages of the site (upto 1000). Then do another mass page rank check of the actual URLs. Select the best PR pages and craft relevant, useful comments and drop your link in there. Viola. Your done. Lots of work, but if you spend some time studying it and learning how it all works, and then find some good tools to help you automate it, you can accomplish a lot in a reasonable amount of time. Then if you get good at it you can even make lists and sell them. (as I do). And you can make money both ways.
