A tip to gain free high quality links

Recently I used aaron walls link harvester tool www.linkhounds.com/link-harvester/ to have a look at my main competitors backlinks. I googled my main term and used the top 10 results in link harvester.

It brought back a list of all backlinks to those sites, including .edu, .gov, .ac.uk etc, basically all the 'authority' links as well as your regular backlinks.

I figured, hey, if they can get links on .edu sites I might as well give it a go. I spent an hour or so finding contact info for these .edu pages, wrote a nice, personalised complementary email saying basically if you think my site is worth it please add my link.

Didn't think anything of this until today when I was checking my backlinks, who would have thought - 2 backlinks from different .edu's!

So, if you have an hour or 2 to spare its well worth a try and you may well be surprised with the results as i was!

 

Thats a pretty nice tool, thanks for the tip tiptopvillas! (Say that 5 times fast)!

Tiptopvillas - Great tip!

 

Yes, that's really a nice program. And I thought I'd know all those check whatever tools by now...

 

Seen that program before - it is nice!

 

thanks for the link.... going to try it out ....

 

good tip. I e-mailed a couple .edu and .gov webmasters to see if they were interested in adding our link.

do you think that .edu and .gov actually weigh in more when Google counts the links?

 

Tiptopvillas - nice tool and great tip.

There goes that sleep time I had set aside for tonight...

 

Sleep? Sleeping is a waste of time to me...same with eating, I have much better things to be doing....oh my :/

that was a nice tool. thanks for tip good luck

 

Very interesting and helpful. Thanks for sharing

 

Just to add to tiptops tip and along the same lines - google has a complete listing of universities at ...

http://www.google.com/options/universities.html

You can search each individual university for your topic/keyword and find all sorts of goodies. Much of what I found for my topic was on individual student pages and professor pages. Kinda neat ...

Also thought, hey if we paid each student 25 cents to place a link on their individual pages we would be set

cheers

Interesting strategy tiptop!~ thanks for sharing.

The trouble when you target student pages is that - once they graduate your link is all over.... - perhaps target the clubs?

 

mark1 ... then you'll have pick the smart students or preferably those on the 5 year plan

 

No question on the .gov links! Not sure on the others.

1 .gov link can do wonders!
