[HOW-TO] Get A Do-follow Link From Google (Chrome)

[roberto dumas]

----------------------------------------
Note: This method has been shared previously on BHW by 'GoogleCrack' (a friend of mine!) but I felt the post wasn't as clear as it could have been. Although the method is the same, I'll be providing a slightly different approach to obtaining the link.
----------------------------------------

For: Beginners - Intermediates

If you want to be successful in your link building efforts, there's one thing you need to be doing.

Building unique, DIFFERENT links.

Well, we have the typical, well known links:

• web 2.0
• social bookmarks
• profiles
• social signals
• video links
• outreach
• pbn links
• and so on...

These links, when used correctly, should work great. But the thing is everyone knows about these links. For example, web 2.0's are so well known that everyone seems to build them for their sites. Again, nothing wrong with this but a healthy, strong backlink profile should consist of links that are hard to obtain. Generally speaking, the harder a link is to acquire, the better that link is for your site.

This is why I'm constantly working on R&D, running custom scripts and bots that go out there looking for these harder to obtain link opportunities. We've managed to find a shit load of rare and unused platforms where you can place your links.. and the good thing is these links are do-follow.

While I'm not going to share them all (for obvious reasons), I will be sharing a few over the next few months. The first link is a do-follow link placement on the Google Chrome web store. Click here to see an example of the link (this link was only just created so it's not indexed as of yet; I don't force index these either - but they do index).

I've very rarely had these links taken down since there isn't really much of a spam check (I've known about these links since 2014 and in the last 4 years there has been no changes) but obviously don't try to build a link to your hack/warez/pharma/adult/casino site since the chances of your link being taken down are a lot higher. I'm also well aware that creating this post will mean more people will be using this link building method but I'm cool with this.. we've been using this for a very long time now and we have plenty more rare platforms that many don't know about. As mentioned above, this method has been around for a very long time but I don't think many people know about it.

Let's break down the link:

Essentially we're submitting an extension on Google Chrome's web store.

In terms of results, we've seen positive effects after adding these links - but only when used with other links. If you're expecting this link to skyrocket you from NA to #1, you're wrong. However, what I can guarantee you is most people don't know about these links so you get a slight advantage in that sense. It's also a great addition to your backlink profile since it's a harder to obtain link.

First things first, to acquire this link it's going to cost you $5. This is what Google charges for a "submission" to the web store. The $5 will get you an allowance of 20 submissions - so that means you'll be able to create up to 20 listings for a very little price.

As shown in the screenshot above, you'll receive 2x do-follow links. The great thing is you can even target your exact anchor if that's something you'd like to do. In the above example, the exact anchor would be "seo forum" and the brand anchor would be "Website". You get the best of both

The link will index over time - or you can force index them but that isn't necessary from experience. Take a look at all the other extension pages on the web store and you'll notice most of them are indexed so getting these indexed shouldn't be a problem.

Right, let's get straight into this.

1. Create a fresh Gmail account

I recommend creating a fresh Gmail account. This means you'll be able to use that account specifically for this link building method. Once you've created an account, log in and then click here to be taken to the Google Chrome web store for extensions.

You should see something like this:

Now click here to be taken to the developer dashboard. Make sure you're signed in!

IMPORTANT: Once you're inside your dashboard, scroll to the bottom where it says "Your Developer Account". You'll see "Edit your developer display name:". Edit this to whatever you want, for example you might want to input your money keyword/exact anchor.

2. Open a new tab

Open a new tab and go to https://extensionizr.com. This site will basically take away all the hassle of having to create the required files for a correct developer app submission. I'm not going to go into the details of all that - we don't need to know. We just want the link!

Once on the site, click "Browser action" and then scroll down and click "Download it!"

That's it.

You should now have a downloaded .zip file. If it's not a .zip then it will be a folder instead and the contents of the folder should look like this:

If the contents of your folder/zip look like the above, you're doing everything correctly! Not long now...

3. Open another tab

Open a new tab again (3 in total now) and head over to https://jsoneditoronline.org.

Click "Open", "Open from disk" and then select the file named "manifest.json" from the zip/folder you downloaded in Step 2.

Once you've loaded the "manifest.json" file, we're going to be editing the following:

For example, after editing, here's what mine looks like:

Now click on "Save" and "Save to disc".

Take this newly downloaded file and replace it with the existing "manifest.json" file. Now compress all the contents into a .zip. We'll be uploading this .zip file to the Google Chrome web store.

4. Back to Tab #1 (Google Developer Dashboard)

Click "Add new item", agree to the Terms of service and then upload the .zip file.

In the box that says "Detailed description", you'll need to enter your main content. It's important that the content here is optimized for the keyword(s) you're trying to rank. Go with minimum 350 words. You can enter up to 16,000 characters in this box. We usually use fresh, unique content but maybe duplicate content would work as well - that's something you'd need to try.

For the icon, head over to https://www.flaticon.com, search for an icon based on your niche and download it as a PNG in size 128 x 128 pixels. Upload this icon.

For the screenshots image, you could either take a screenshot of your site (make sure the size of the screenshot is 1280 x 800 - I recommend using https://web-capture.net) or you could search for an image using Google images, but make sure the image size is exactly 1280 x 800.

Now scroll down to "Websites" and this is where you'll be entering your money site URL. Feel free to add an additional URL if you'd like.

Once done, also select your category from the list of options they provide.

Now scroll down to the bottom and click "Publish Changes". You will then be asked to complete the $5 payment. Once you've paid, you'll be redirected back to your dashboard. Click "Publish" and that's it!

It usually takes around 20-30mins before your extension is published in the web store. As long as your site isn't in a toxic niche (adult, hacking, warez, etc) your listing should be live for a very, very long time. As I mentioned at the start, these links do index as you can see from all the other listings on the web store. Just give it time - or you can force index them as well if you're not a fan of waiting.

These links aren't going to do anything crazy to your rankings but they're a very nice addition to your backlink profile for a small cost of $5. You can also click "Add new item" to create more listings so you can target different pages on your site and really make things diverse. For just $5, you can create 20 listings and each of those listings will contain 2x do-follow links. That's 20 links with the anchors you specify and 20 links with the branded anchor "Website". For $5... no brainer really! Wouldn't you rather spend $5 on this than on a crappy Fiverr gig?

------------------------------------
READY FOR THE NEXT ONE?

I have 50+ platforms and link opportunities like this which others don't have a single clue about! For my next post, I'll show you exactly how to get a do-follow, branded link on one of the strongest sites on the Internet.

That's right. Do-follow. AND COSTS NOTHING!

Due to the nature of this method and just how exclusive it is (I haven't seen anyone sharing this anywhere online yet) I'll only be posting it in the Jr VIP section. If you're not a Jr VIP yet, I highly recommend you upgrade. The method is very exclusive as far as I know (way more unknown than this Google Chrome web store method) and I've actually seen a few SEO companies charging between $250 - $500 for a single link! I bet even the more experienced SEO's won't know about this (or maybe they do - if so, they're going to be annoyed, lol). And you could have this link for pretty much NOTHING. Well, that's a lie actually, it's going to cost you $97 to upgrade to Jr VIP but that will be so worth it in my opinion.

If you're already a Jr VIP then you just need to hang tight!

Please let me know if you end up upgrading to Jr VIP. BHW has an excellent community of members and it's only fair we contribute back and help make the forum even greater than it is. A $97 donation isn't that much compared to all the knowledge we have on here. Support the cause!

Until next time, take it easy!

Thxs in advanced..Great Post..wanna be Vip ...!

Dammit.

Now that I look back at it, I guess this thread grew a lot quicker than I had anticipated. Over 15,000 views... definitely wasn’t expecting the thread to get that big.

A bummer. Apologies guys / didn’t think it would get updated but I guess a lot of members really made use of this method.

Congratulations. You've accomplished your mission. Now the Amzn tip will follow to get rid of your competition. Can't believe people fell for this. Not only did you fool people to poke the bear in the eye you've also helped exposed nitches and pbn to big brother..making their job easier. Lol I warned you all

 

[Ozzyzig]

Not only did you fool people to poke the bear in the eye you've also helped exposed nitches and pbn to big brother..making their job easier. Lol I warned you all

I doubt the Amazon method is going to be overexposed since it's only in the Jr VIP section. As for knocking out the competition, have you got any proof that people in your niche used this before?

None of my competitor used this method and it's in a highly popular niche.

Congratulations. You've accomplished your mission. Now the Amzn tip will follow to get rid of your competition. Can't believe people fell for this. Not only did you fool people to poke the bear in the eye you've also helped exposed nitches and pbn to big brother..making their job easier. Lol I warned you all

LOL. You’re an idiot dude so I’m not going to bother replying to you after this..

I cringe at how uneducated you are when it comes to SEO. This method has been around for YEARS. My competition use far stronger techniques than this to rank in solid niches (which you would know if you were actually dominating any big niches). This method was me giving back to the BHW community. There are far stronger and unknown techniques out there which I’m keeping to myself for a reason.

If you think creating an app listing on Google Chrome’s extension store is some sort of super secretive link building strategy then that alone tells me how much you know about link building. You sound like those struggling ‘white hat’ gurus who think they have it all figured out. The Google Chrome method has been around for a LONG time. It’s nothing new, nor is it anything special. The fact that you think I made this thread to eliminate the ‘competition’ is a joke.. lmao. You have no idea the type of competition I have and the type of techniques we use to rank. Take your silly claims somewhere else. If I really wanted to take out my competition I would be exposing far more effective and highly secretive link building methods.

There is a reason I put the Amazon method in the Jr VIP section. If you still think I’m doing all this to eliminate my competition you’re a complete clown. You’re only embarrassing yourself. This method comes nowhere close to the link building strategies we use to rank in competitive niches.

It’s sad, because the truth is I genuinely posted this to give members an extra link building opportunity. And then for a clown like you to come and throw a wild accusation that I’m taking out my competition.. LOL. You have NO IDEA the methods we use to rank. Stick to your ‘white hat’ ‘content is king’ fluff.

Don’t have time for your nonsense and BS conspiracies. Keep embarrassing yourself

 

[KingPinger]

Lol you're the expert that convinced people that it will never get changed and what happened? Keep up the good fight kid. I'm educated enough to not fall for stupid tricks. I only hope others who are looking for quick results take the time to research carefully. Keep calling me names it will not bother me I was proven correct about what Google would have done yet I'm the idiot? Lol I have seen this trick before used with other platforms with very high TF etc. It's all over YT if you know what to search for also other forums. All I did was warn you all the same results would be seen with this method you proudly exposed to G. No one listened. You got what you wanted out of it. Congrats.

[KingPinger]

I rather enjoy some black hat methods. I enjoy reading and understanding the logic behind some methods I enjoy researching as well. I do white hat because I started that way. When I have more time to experiment I'll try some black hats that have better logic to them. IllI continue to do as I please. The Amzn method I already know since I saw all this before even on YT .. How ironic after you post them they all gonna get nofollow then I'll hear I'm an idiot all over again

P.S - PM me the Amazon method. If it’s the same one I shared I’ll gladly send you some $ for guessing it correctly. The ones shared on YouTube revolve around Kindle Publishing. The method I shared in the Jr VIP section isn’t available anywhere on YouTube.

If a PBN or sites depends on one stupid link from some google addon store being switch to nofollow, then it'S already fucked up.
As if that builded links would do anything bad. Google switched them to nofollow and devalued them, so no biggi.

Thank you

It’s not like Google penalised all OBL’s used on the app listings. They simply switched the links to nofollow. There are no negative side effects as a result of this. They simply changed the rel to nofollow. They didn’t penalise anything. This dude is making it out like I exposed a highly confidential Top 3 link building strategy, lol. This is one method out of, literally, hundreds.

So everyone who made use of this strategy now has a nofollow link from the Google Chrome store. There’s nothing wrong with that; it’s still a link that will go towards your link profile. Just because a link has been made nofollow doesn’t mean you’re in trouble, lol.

I hugely underestimated the potential growth of this thread. That was the only mistake on my part. Almost 20,000 views.. definitely wasn’t expecting it to reach that size.

 

[KingPinger]

I'll admit perhaps I'm being too harsh by thinking you're attempting to get the competition out. But, you're pretty much doing the exact same thing the others are doing with similar quick methods as this one on a long list. Stick these methods to VIP. It's doing more harm being in the open with users who don't know what they are doing or getting into. no name calling no attacks. Just my observation towards helping others. Have a good one

I'll admit pethape I'm being to harsh by thinking you're attempting to get the competition out. But, you're pretty much doing the exact same thing the others are doing with similar quick meeting as this one on a long list. Stick these methods to VIP. It's doing more harm being in the open with users who don't know what they are doing or getting into. no name calling no attacks. Just my observation towards helping others. Have a good one

Like I said above, the only mistake on my part which I happily admit was my miscalculation on the potential growth of this thread. If I knew this thread would reach 20,000 views I would have put this in Jr VIP. This thread grew too quick. I know for next time.

Take a look at the Black Hat SEO section. No other recent thread has managed to get the attention this thread received (in terms of views and responses). I didn’t expect this thread to reach this size either. But as I said, I know for next time and future sensitive methods will go in Jr VIP.

A few weeks ago someone Skyped me complaining that I’m not sharing anything on BHW anymore like I used to. And then when I do I get told I’m trying to eliminate my competition... so you can understand my frustration

 

[lucade55]

I think that method as good as this should be posted only in VIP Section.

I also think that this method was a great "hook" to convince people to join VIP Section, so maybe without this, there weren't so many people subscribing the membership.

So this is a nonsense to discuss these "philosophical" question

 

[r20041]

Any forum member tested this back link technique. Have you seen increase in TF/CF for your website..!

 

[SamLewis]

Did anybody see an effect to the previous links they made when they were switched to nofollow? Did it have much of an effect on your rankings?

 

[RandomX]

No more ******** link, Google changed to nofollow link.

 

[spmcnerd]

No harm no foul but think I'm going to go ahead and pull all 2 of mine.

Edit: Much appreciated Leith!

You Da Man - I will be upgrading once I reach 90 posts.
Any ref link? haha

Thanks Leith, I'm stalking every single one of your threads. I made an extension already
