How I Got Listed on a PR 8 Site with 1,000,000 backlinks

It is a nice idea and thanks for sharing it. Content is King, if you know how to get a unique and interesting article.

 

Wow, thats one link I would wish to have
Really nice going Chris!

I've a website teaching German, and currently I'm making a section that will contain articles related to the German language, could you suggest something that would be a bit attractive ?

 

Rearly happens ........ that's ur fortune.

 

Thank you so much for sharing this info mate.

 

What you achieve is a result of efforts. You deserve it! ..and then others will say content is not kind? Now you prove they are wrong.

 

I am quite sure that there are many people who have really good content (may be, even without their knowledge)....and the problem they have is... they don't know how/where to promote it..... and in the first place.... dont have any idea about how much traffic a particular content can actually get....

 

Thanks for the info. Well Done. Listing from PR 5+ is a luck, yours is a very BIG luck

 

that was a fine move bro.
but i am a little bit curious, did you track how many ppl have visited you site from them?

 

Indeed, writing quality contents is proven to be the effective way to get more backlinks

 

Good for sharing nice info, i want to go try!

 

Thanks for sharing information and congrats to you..

 

They link to you as normally because you have something they want to link back. If nothing, it is useless !

 

Nice job but leaving a comment doesn't help any?

 

Great news, many people underestimate the value of long term keywords

 

Thanks for the info.

 

The key question here is: what is the PR of the actual page that has the link?

I see "Page Rank unavailable" for the page in question (googles_obsession_with_speed_comes_to_the_web_serv), which has the link to your munchweb article. You tips and comments are still useful, but it's a common mistake for people to talk about PR for "a site" (i.e. the home page) - PR applies to individual pages, not to a site. What matters is the PR of the page that has the link, which seems to be undefined (effecively 0) at the moment.

Having a link on that page is still useful, and if the home page has PR 8 that will probably filter down to the actual page that has the link, but that hasn't happened yet, so no PR juice is actually getting passed on at this point in time. That may change in the future of course...

First intelligent comment here, most of the people doesn't get it. Of course you get some of that page rank juice and probably decent traffic.

 

Not really. For two reasons:

1. Toolbar PR is about 3 months out of date. New pages will get PR instantly, but Google will not show this data to the public, they just show outdated data which is infrequently updated. Many also believe (me included) that toolbar PR is also very skewed to present some confusion to webmasters and make reverse engineering more difficult.

2. A huge authority site will have its individual posts referenced by other websites, so you can see that post pulled in links from a lot of other sources, and that juice is filtered straight through to my site. A lot of juice is flowing.

You are seeing Google public outdated version of page rank. In reality the pages will have page rank, but that won't update for weeks or months, and you only get a snapshot from one particular time, when in reality page rank is constantly shifting.

It has already happened which is why my sites rankings have improved. The effect of a link is taken into account by Google very quickly. Like I said, toolbar PR is an innacurate snapshot.

It is certainly a valid point that this is not a link from a PR8 page, it is from a PR8 site and there is a difference, but I was never pretending otherwise. A link from a page on a trusted PR8 site (assuming good internal linking which it has) is a very powerful link indeed that will pass a lot of authority.

The purpose of this post is just to explain to others how I did it.

 

With something that you want more viral exposure, or wider appeal, it is sometimes good to step a little bit out of your niche (but not too far as to alienate your audience).

I don't know your audience, but assuming they have a good sense of humor, then a Hitler movie remix might be a good choice:

Of course you would need to be completely original and relate it to your niche. Maybe even do something along those lines, but quite different (i.e from a different movie or speech).

Also browse stumbleupon with the tag German for inspiration.

 

Well,, it proves one thing.. 'content is KING'
