Building links with Article Directories..

Jimmy — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:07:56 +0000

This is a short sweet post on the art of article directory submission. Once again we are sticking with the link building theme for the time being. Submitting to article directories is a no brainer. Where else are you going to get genuine 1 way do follow links that always stick. There are a few general rules that I try to stick by when doing article submission.

1. Start with the high PR sites and work your way down

What you are looking for here is quality links back to your site. Obviously it makes sense to start posting on the directories with the most link weight. I haven’t compiled a list, but a great one is right here.

2. My duplicate submission rule

Some directories allow you to submit duplicate content and some do not. If you are not spinning your articles for uniqueness then I recommend this method. Use a current blog post that has already been indexed by google. If you don’t know how to check then read this. Now the hyperlinks that you insert in the article, link to the next blog post that you plan on publishing as an article. This is insuring that your next post will be indexed quickly, so that you can then publish it as an article. Duplicate content does not apply to the first website to publish the article and get it indexed. This way, you get to re-use your blog posts as articles and still ensure that you get the credit for the unique content.

3. Get these link pages indexed!!

You can use a few of your free blogs from this post, to push the spiders to the new article pages that you have. Make an effort to get every one of these pages indexed. These are long term links from high PR sites. Need I say more..

Boost your Rankings with FREE BLOGS!

If you have been reading all of my posts thus far, you should by now have some grasp on what it takes to get you good rankings in search engines. It is all about link building. Essentially, any link to your site is as good as the site that links to you. Although blog commenting is a good way to get a high quantity of links, you should also try to get some high authority links as well. How are we going to do that today you ask…

Free Blogs

Free Blogs are a great way to build some high quality links for your site. I’ve stated in previous posts the huge advantage a person has by owning several websites. This tactic evens the playing field a little bit, and allows you to do the same thing by taking advantage of free blog providers online. First I should state that starting a free blog for the purposes of link building or SEO is often against the hosting sites rules and I do not condone this action(be careful and be discrete).

This method can be very effective given the high PR of most free blog sites. PR is Google’s measuring stick, telling you how valuable the particular site is perceived to be by Google. These links are high quality because they come from trusted sites.

Now, if you simply go spamming the free blogs you are just going to get your free blog banned, so lets use some class in doing this. One thing that I like to do is write a generic blog post in word, then spin the article a little (spin – keep same content and present it in slightly different language) for each free blog site that I plan on posting it on. This means I write 1 article and alter it slightly for each blog so they all appear unique to the SE’s. When possible you always want to use ANCHOR text for a link, meaning that the hyperlinks should be inside of the article attached to keywords that you are trying to rank for. Use your imagination and come up with a similar game plan. You may even want to put 1 link to your site, and 1 link to another ‘free blog’ that you posted on for quick indexing.

I’m not going to give you a list of free blogs to use because they are increadibly easy to find. Type “free blog” into google, and that should keep you busy for a while. I would obviously start w/ Wordpress and Blogger and then move on down the line. A good percentage of the blogs use WP or a similar platform, so you should be right at home.

Making your Blog Comments Count – get them indexed!!

Today’s post is going to be on the art of aquiring links through blog comments. Blog commenting is not fun, so I’m going to show you how to get the most out of your blog comments and links. I’m sure that many of you have had the experience of blog commenting, waiting for the links to roll in, and then they never hit google. What a waste right? Hopefully after reading this this will not happen to you again.

So our objective is to get all of the comments that we have made noticed by google bot so we can pick up our sweet links. If you simply post a comment, then there is a reasonable chance that search engines will never pick it up. The solution is to gently guide the search engines to check out those links. I’m going to give you a quick easy way to do this. Please, be creative and try different ways to make this work for you.

1. First thing to do is to make a list of all of the pages that you made a comment on. If you make a comment, and it goes through, save the link in a notepad document.

2. Now sign up for an account at Wordpress.com or Blogger.com and start a blog. Now write a post that includes links to all of the comment pages that you saved.

3. Now sign up for an account at digg.com. Now submit your wordpress or blogger post that has the links to digg.

That is all there is to it. If all goes well your digg page will be indexed quickly. It will spit google bot out at your free blog, and your blog will spit google out to all of the links that have your comments on them. Now I’m not saying that this is a fool proof method or 100% successful. This method can however be applied in a number of different ways boosting its effectivness.

Note: Don’t use your own blog to post links to the comments you made. You’ll be turning your 1 way links into recipricol links and screwing up the link weight.
