How can build links fast Everywhere there is rel="no follow" So far I've found registering on dozens of forums and posting once, an easy way to get a backlink. But I feel like troll doing it. Not to mention some forums have nofollow or require like 50 posts to get a signature now. I have sites that generate money and I know realise traffic is the key to increase my earnings.. I don't need more sites. Just traffic. So stupid question, but anyone got any words of wisdom in getting backlinks? The sites I'm competing against in the serps already have like thousands of links so to beat them I will need thousands of links.
You could also try book marking, article marketing, blogging, blog commenting, and joining social/ business network sites. Good luck.
Building good amount of backlinks is one of the biggest problem for webmasters. Like two posts above me try submitting your site to free directories, make unique and good contents so that SE will love your pages, more returning visitors, hopefully some will blog and/or link to your site. You could also write articles and link exchanges will surely help you a lot too.
I agree this is the hardest thing to do, and the most time consuming. I have written 9 articles for my current site, and my plan is to submit each one to article directories. My Plan: I want to submit one at a time, and once the traffic dies down on the article, submit another. I have noticed that on ezinearticles the traffic only comes when it is on the front page, then you rarely get hits. So once the traffic dies down on an article, i'll submit another, sending a bit more traffic to my site. its really simple and actually effective...
I've tryed that bookmarking thing. I would say I get 20 visitors a day from stumble..and the odd ball once and awhile from Technorati. But this traffic doesn't convert well. High bounce rate.. Thats the easiste way, lol. No work involved.
One thing I noticed about this social boolmarking/networking is that you should also contribute something in order for you (your profile) to be known and finally people will be interested in whatever links you have on your profile (well at least they can see it) and if they like your site they will surely bookmark and share it then you'll get even more traffic. Again, after you get a chance to show your site it depends on the content of your site, if it's worth enough you will surely get free links. How to build that kinda site and content? let's say, I'm just as curious as you are
Well how about creating dozens of "fake sites" related to your sites niche on those free hosts, and putting your link on it. Google spider will come eventually find it from the directory on the free host. har..har..
You wont have to feel like a troll if you actually post as part of the community! Search before you post, find a resource thread, or better yet a thread needing an answer that you can give. Give the answer by quoting a part of your site with a link pointing to the rest of an answer. Utilizing the "fair use" of article quoting can generate links that most mods will overlook. Especially if you are posting in a name different then the article author. Even better, it will force you to actually be a part of the community before you can get something in return. Figure it this way, nothing is free, and the payment for such links is the time it takes to post +50. Not a bad deal...but don't waste it on a bunch of crap one liners...no one will follow your sig as you'll come off more like a spammer/troll then one of the community. The same can apply to link building with blog comments get a few posts off that add something to the blog. That way the author is more inclined to allow links in the future. EDIT:: I discuss that exact thing in this article: Promoting Links and Linkbait though I use Geocites as the place for the free page. (Googlepages is nice as well). In fact,there are several free sites that allow such a thing, and it only takes a few moments to get them up and going. Just don't copy/paste the contents, or it'll all get filtered. Of course once the free page is set it needs to be linked too from someplace so that the bots will swarm. Social bookmarking is handy for that...or even just putting it in your forum sig for a few days. Link exchanges are nice for these smaller pages as well.
i have two suggest for you. firstly, read the sticly thread on this forum. and second is learning more about link baiting
Yesterday, i posted some brief info about the no-follow myth ...and why, overall, you should keep on doing what your doing...yes, even if sites have "no-follow" tags..... please refer to that post ( same thread)
I personally have had no problem link building. I've found if I post good content, people will find it and link to it!
1st, I believe that the rel="no follow" myth is simply not true. 2nd, always make creative presentations of your contents and enticing keywords that would really attract more traffic to your site. Always make your site fresh in the eyes of the viewers. That's all. Good luck.
2 things: Point 1)With all due respect, if you don't believe what the site below says, then why do you promote in your sig file 'edu' backlinks? Don't you know that many of these edu sites have the "no=follow" tags installed in them? Point 2) I believe that you get major advantages even if the sites giving you backlinks have the "no-follow" tag.....here's proof: If you check my site, you will see that I have 3 edu backlinks.....all three have the "no-follow" tags...yet they have helped my site ( url from my sig below) ranked as high as 4th - google's first page- among 22,000,000 competing pages...some of them are even .gov sites This is the result of my collective effort....that I now have edu as well as web2.0 sites backlinks. I have found out that it's these edu backlinks that were mostly responsible for making my site's "sticky" = Ive maintained google 4th position if you go to google.com... I ranked 4th for the keyword phrases : guide to home health care , guide to homehealth care, homehealth care guide . And that ranking has stayed liked that for almost 4 months now Another PROOF? Go to: http://www.seologs.com/link-analysis-tool/backlinks.html then type www.medcarehealth.com ========== Overall, here's why you should not let the "no-follow" tag deter you from your ongoing promotions and quest to gain more backlinks: if you haven't read this site yet , just click here: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/how-google-yahoo-askcom-treat-the-no-follow-link-attribute/4801/ conclusion: There's so many things going around on the net, advices that may or may not work for you. In the end, you will need to do your own testing of what works in your case. I am simply presenting here what is effective for me (with proofs)...and who knows, it might work for you too... P.S. within the next few days, I will be sharing how I get edu backlinks.....my way.....this is based on my own experience...summarized in 3 sentences only....and is not found in any "edu" backlink report...
well i think free directory submission is good to increase traffice.. Thanks brooke.thom AT gmail DOT com www DOT bench-tek DOT com
Yes EDU links seem to be rated so highly but how can we get them? Looking into this - anybody got ideas? This backlinks thing is not as bad as most people think you only need a handful of good links not thousands...
hi you can find some tips here jkplayground.com/web-development/how-to-get-gov-and-edu-backlinks/ On how to build gov/edu backlinks
Try to get your self listed on someone's relevant blogroll using a keyword text link. You will then get a link on every post they have ever created retroactively. Depending on the size of the blog, the links could be in the hundreds+. The downside is that you may get too many links too fast and generally only the homepage will have PR. Be selective about directories, many have been severely discredited by Google and the interior pages may not have PR. Backlinks from sites that have been deemed bad neighborhoods can potentially hurt your rankings regardless of what people say, but that's another conversation. I don't want to hijack the thread. Set up Google Alerts for your targeted keyword combo and find out who is talking about your subject and contact them. Do likewise with the name of your top competition. I have a feeling that there is some value to a nofollow link. Reasoning, I used to use my name for my blog signature. A Google search for my name then turned up the link from my signature which had NO on page SEO for my name. Conjecture of course. I question the value of the generic requests for link exchanges that we all get. They all sound the same and usually get trashed. Matt Cutts says he receives them as well, that is a dumb move.
