Hi Link Ninja, Thanks for responding to the call. I want to know your link building secrets. Please don't mention article directories, press releases, or ho-hum link building advice here. This is for advanced link building strategies that we can all pick up one or two new strategies from. Looking forward to being impressed.
DoFollow forums, such as these. DoFollow blogs, niche specific. There's some backlink packages floating around that I have heard are amazing. I do my backlinking manually, however, so the first two work best for me. More stable and more longterm (unless digipoint stops allowing dofollow sigs, oh no!)
I have over 500 WP blogs and I use Deep Link plugin to get pingbacks...that is one method. I also do a like of squidoo lens back links - look for the "Add to List" widgets and you can get good links on PR3+ lenses.
How long did it take you do get those 500 blogs? Are they blogname.wordpress . com? or .com domain names?' Ive tried squiddoo method, but it took too long. 90% of the lenses had no place to display public links, only products.
Heres a link to the Deep Link Engine http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/deep-link-engine/ Just installed it on one of my WP's, let's see how it goes..
My advise is to see what your Competitors are doing (the ones that are outranking you). Analyze their in-bound links with Yahoo Site Explorer, Google or websites like backlinkwatch.com You'll be able to see what they are doing differently and what (potential) link partners you've overlooked. A terrific way to generate a huge amount of backlinks is to analyze what these above sites need/use/want/like and develop specific content (or tools, or freebies) for these people. For example, a recent Client of mine had a Pet Food Supply Store that wasn't doing so hot and wanted to surpass their competition for several specific Keyword Phrases. I went to good ol DMOZ and Yahoo Directory, found the Individual Pet Owners and offered them a discount at my Client's E-Shop if they were to provide a link to our site using our Keyword Phrase. You'd be surprised how many responded positively. We did this not only with Individual Pet Owners but with Animal Shelters and Animal Rescue Organizations and instead provided them with donations that were well worth the link they provided us. Conversely if you don't want to spend money (in one way or another) getting links simply develop compelling content that these people could really use and shoot them a link to this info, if they like it chances are they'll link to it, retweet it, etc. etc.
Be careful with that deep link plugin. I installed it and tested it out. It deleted all of the text on my last blog post. The blog is only a week old, so it's the latest version. Needless to say, I deactivated it. Did anyone else try it?
Furthermore...my blog is dofollow. It added about 25 links to a post of mine about cars, and a few of the links were bad neighborhoods like viagra sites. Unless you truly want to kill your site (or if it's nofollow) then I would stand clear from this spam machine
I don't think there is a universal approach to it. For me personally the following worked: I created useful content and sometimes a really cool calculator or tool that is unique. Then I contacted sites related to that topic, excluding competitors. I used very personalised emails. It worked out pretty good for me, but at the same time it is also somewhat time-consuming and may not be the best solution for everyone.
may be this one is for you. 700 backlings (top and bottom of article) on (syndicated) blog content (not comments - articles). - 1 URL - 5 Search Terms Don't want to bump with any sales pitch here - contact me if you are interested.
Yeah, that deep link plugin is garbage. I used it for about 5 minutes ans then deleted it. I wish I had read lakeland's comments before I bothered
