All about backlinks

For me the key is lots of quality backlinks at an organic rate. Automated. So I can spend time on coming up with sites.
 
this one is the only article i need,
yeah, hope i'm feel happy here,
i'm new here!!!!
and sorry for my bad english
 
I feel like I post on every one of HaRRo's posts but I just can't say thank you enough. Truly fantastic! Thank you again!
 
Is there a way we could get this updated possibly? The information is good, however many of the links don't work anymore.
 
I'm actually interested to know if this information is even valid anymore with the changes Google has made to backlink sculpting. Any comments?
 
Whatz a Fricken Backlink?
And how do I get 'em!
by HaRRo


One of the biggest factors of ranking high in the search engines is other websites linking to yours. And one of the most often asked questions on Blackhatworld is....... Wait for it........... How or where do i get them.

Cbox Links - CBox; a Tagboard software that bloggers and website owners can add to their website. It works much like the Wordpress comments part of the wordpress script only its a simple shoutbox type script that you can throw a few links onto.
Google query to find an updated list of sites running this vulnerable software: allintext:[get a cbox]

Two Quick free links - Two simple ones that you have probably seen around a lot when your searching for sites is the aboutus.org and the wiki directory , these can just be thrown up in about 1 minute flat, and make sure in the wiki directory you add some related categories for better potential. They should get you indexed pretty fast.

Referer Spamming - Quite a simple method and a software called PRstorm thats found around this board should easily get you started, you add in the urls you want to referer spam, and the ones you want to be linked. This shows up in referer logs and you can easily get a fresh list by searching sites with referer logs with good PR or those sites with the My top referers list. Yes you can find PRstorm around this forum somewhere.

Unlimited free .edu and .gov links - Another great potential is edu and gov links as Google and others give authority over these types of domain extentions.
The 'site:' feature in Google allows only results with that domain name or domain extension to show up. You can "hack" this feature to allow Google to find the most relevant university and government websites related to your sites.

Heres a few examples.
Google query: site:.gov blog [or site:.edu blog]
Results in: Google finds any .gov website that is running a blog or has a /blog/ directory. You can then visit these blogs and post comments (if you can find wordpress blogs like this one), and get hundreds of free .gov backlinks.
[Alternative queries: ‘blog' ‘blogs' ‘wordpress' ‘comment' ‘guestbook' ‘2007′ ‘2006′]

Google query: site:.edu *your niche* + blog
For example: site:.edu internet marketing blog
The top result is a .edu blog that links to a non edu blog, but that blog is related and is PR3 and has edu backlinks. That is also a great relevant place to comment, even if it is not directly a .edu. On the other hand, the third result was a PR3 highly related .edu internet marketing blog with zero comments. That is easy .edu backlinks!

You can easily replicate these queries to fit your needs, and it is highly scalable. You can find .edu, .gov, and if you are lucky, .mil blogs. If you are not as picky, you can just search specifically for the blogs without the .edu or .gov extension, and you can find some high pageranked blogs on the first pages of results. Play around with it, enjoy it, it's free! Then ofourse you know how to drop a link on the comments.

Edu Guestbooks - Guestbooks can too be quite good for dropping backlinks and if you want a few edu ones with good PR heres a small list below. Ill not go into detail on how to add your link as im sure you will all know, anyway heres the links.

PR5
http://lsa.colorado.edu/guestbook-add.html
http://www.campusrec.neu.edu/partsearchten/guestbook.html

PR4
http://www.studentorg.umd.edu/phibetasigma/guestbook.php
http://nsa.union.rpi.edu/Guest/nsagb.php

PR3
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~bethanyt/guestbook.html
http://www.uaf.edu/webauthors/wagb.html

PR2
http://cratel.wichita.edu/guestbook/pblguestbook.php?action=view

These are just a few just remember the trick i taught before this on searching google queries for edu links only you can use the + guestbook or whatever name is of a script you know of like vBulletin.

RSS Feed Directories - This ones for the bloggers and forum owners too, anything really with an RSS feed, even if you fake an RSS feed and randomize it, it can still work.
Here is a good list of places to submit your feeds or you can use those automated software like RSS Announcer or Submitter, Or Bloggergenerators free blog and ping tools, theres a ton out there.

Tagbox Linkdropping - Another like the Cbox is Tagbox it works the exact same way.
Powered by Tagbox

Contests - Contests are a good way of word of mouth or bloggers blogging about it, another good example is a giveaway for say the person who sends the most traffic to you, you can use a link trading script to check whos best or a referer script to see which person sends the most, this will bring links to you if you work it smartly.

Digging - Digging the same as any network like such brings an incredible amount of backlinks and gets the buzz around fast. You can use things like Piqq, which is a digg exchange, you can check my Piqq invites thread for an invite

Digg Comments - Digg comments can get you a few links and the latest comment is always usually at the top. So its an idea maybe to post on the popular diggs.

Commenthunt - Most of you already know this but commenthunt searches blogs without nofollow tags its a search engine type thing you can search for relevent blogs the url is http://www.commenthunt.com

Oggix.com - heres another shoutbox type way of backlinks Check This Query and get dumping links.

A Free EDU blog of your own - Get a free EDU blog of your own or many just by signing up heres the link. Free Edu Blog

Digitalpoint CO-Op Network - Another one that can work in some cases.
Digitalpoint developed a mass link exchange program called the DP Co-op Advertising Network (aff). After signing up, you then add 3-5 links on every one of your pages, and this earns you more linking power (coop weight). The more weight you have, the more links to your site you receive from other members in the coop. You can choose up to 15 anchor texts and there are over 30,000,000 available links in the network today. Sites have been using it to rank #1 for "Debt" "credit cards" "bankruptcy" and "loans." Such a simple method is allowing them to outrank massive authority sites like Wikipedia, but the main concern is how long will this gravy train last and when will Google do something about it?

Google staff already know about the network, but have not yet done anything to prevent people from quickly ranking for popular terms. I just want to clarify that I would NOT recommend this technique to anyone that is going to be doing a long term link building campaign for their blogs, but I would recommend it for "made for adsense" sites, and even blackhat/greyhat temporary high profit earning sites.

Flickr Spamming - Flickr allows comments on photos taken by other people, now you can go wild and mass comment but i wouldnt recommend it, instead pick suitable pics about your niche and simply write a comment saying something smart like can i use this picture on my blog here, then drop your link, or go wild and do it anywhere.

Article Submission - If you have a product thats going to be released or a new site, its best to get the word around fast, using something like Article Equaliser or something that mass submits to a ton of article directories, this builds fast backlinks but sometimes takes time to get approved, and its best not using spammy type articles but interesting ones work better. And you'll find that a lot of other sites scrape article sites for there own content. Giving even more backlinks.

Using Software - You can also use software like Internet Business Promoter, I prefer version 8, because it scans the engines for you, and gets links using keywords, to semi-automatically fill link submission forms to niche related directories. It works well and although is a slow process works perfectly.

Final thoughts
:jerry:​

Just as Jerry Springer has his final thoughts id like to just say im missing out a ton of methods including forum signatures, and things like that, this was a quick requested thread so i throw it up to get ideas flowing, feel free to add more in.

I have also left out custom scripts that auto spam and softwares as such, this is a post just to open the eyes up of some people and realise that you dont have to look for software to be able to get fast links.
Thanks. Really good info. How about the backlinks you get from press releases? There is a fresh new free list at: internetmarketingservicessite.com/press-release-submission-list.html It is really surprising how many websites offer free press release submissions and many of them offer your press releases in different places. Am going to use some of your info as it is superior compared to what I have seen on the net. Thank you again.

Have a question. I have never used a blog and only basically understand a static website so can you clarify what you mean by faking an RSS fee and randomize it? Everytime I see a blog I wonder how you would manage to get a regular website put there when I don't have another blog to list which is what they seem to request. Thank you for your help.

Just thought I'd share with you one of the things I use to easily find keyword releated backlinks which invite backlinks or exchanging links. I use google search and enter in the search bar: Page: " my chosen keyword + add link or addlink or add website " (remove spaces after the first " and before the last " This brings up all kinds of sites seeking to allowing you to add your website so no rejections as a rule. Thank you for the opportunity to share this with you. You have some great things I haven't tried yet though. I have used the .gov, edu, etc. with guestbooks and addlinks. It is surprising what you can come up with using a bit of creativity.

I was just going to use your free edu Blog link but the link says it is broken. Is there a replacement for it? Thank you so much!

This is great info, thanks Harro. Some other things to consider would be back-links from video submissions and pad submissions.

Another great site is Yahoo answers, just Google "Yahoo answers *your niche*" and start answering some questions there. You can also subscribe to Google alerts for your niche which will give you a daily list of blog posts and conversations which you can respond to.
 
great post.

I wish I could write like that. Writing was not one of my gifts. But what you laid out is a good foundation that someone starting out plus us old guys can fall back on. back to the basics.

Question about backlinks. Does google care whether its plain text or does the backlink have to be a standard html backlink?
 
No other place in the world u could get such an awesome thread.
but i have a questions. is there a way to automate this whole process.
 
nice post on backlinks.. awesome list for article submission sites.. thank harro :)

SEOSteve - Look at the info in the link below about Angela's backlinks.

Wow, I didn't know there were so many ways to get backlinks! Thank you!

Have a blessed day...
 
OMG...and just when I thought link building can be hard. This thread definitely bumped me back into the right direction.:D
 
hi. there ,
I am new to this forum and just finished up with your post and i understand the information u shared it is very excellent and just want to ask you can these things be done in the same way as written down....
plz do reply and provide me the best methods to get it done... i will be really so much thank full to you...
 
I just bought a technique to receive some high quality back links from niche related sites. I paid $10 for it, and actually I'm not so happy with the value this technique has for $10, so this is my way of saying thanks to the guy :)

It's still useful so here it is:

This technique is a variation of the old award-call-home technique. It takes a little more work, but is more likely to be successful, and the outcome is pretty much the same. I call this the "Mutual Admiration Society" technique, aka MAS technique.

First of all, if you don't have a blog or section with articles on your website, create a blog or a section with articles.


However, having an articles section or blog isn't enough. You do not want to start this technique with an empty blog or article section.


Populate the section with a few quality posts (you can find good articles at article directories). The articles don't necessarily have to be unique, but they have to be good and relevant to your niche. Of course, ideally, you'd have written them yourself.


You need about half a dozen, at least, to make it look as if the blog or articles have been around for a while.

Second, scour the web for 10 or 12 sites in your niche or verticle which you admire.
1. They must be actively updated (i.e. the owner or administrator is regularly adding new content to the site).
2. They must have some way of contacting the owner on the site. Some sites do not offer any means of contacting the owner. Skip these. Also skip sites where you have to sign up, or join a newsletter. You want a straightforward contact form or email address.
3. Do not include too many elite sites with PR7 or higher. Most of the sites on your list should have a PR of about 3 ~ 5.

Third, write an article extolling the virtues of these sites. For example, if your niche is shoe polish, you could write an article entitled "10 Best Looking Sites in the Shoe Polish Industry."
The article doesn't have to be about web design. It can be "Most Influential" or "Coolest" or "Most Useful" etc. The sites targetted can be regular websites, blogs, or forums.
The article will have a simple structure: just 10 or 12 paragraphs, each about a site and why it rocks.
For best results, hire a professional copywriter to do the article.

Fourth, publish this article on your own website or blog.

Fifth, email "courtesy" notes to each of the sites featured in the article: "Hi, this is a courtesy note to inform you that we admired your site [NAME OF SITE] and featured it in our latest article [NAME OF ARTICLE AND LINK OF ARTICLE]. Do keep up the good work.
Do NOT ask for a link back, or talk about your own site. Just send a rushed note (a note that seems rushed) to politely let the site owner know that his/her site was featured in the article.


The site owner will be proud and happy to have been featured, and (hopefully) blog about it, or post a note about it. Most bloggers are starved for material.


If you're very lucky, the best link will be a permanent **************** on the front page, and you may get as many as 5 links per article. Sometimes, you may get a link alongside media powerhouses (such as the New York Times) which also featured the site.


Even if the results aren't that awesome every time, you should still get a couple of good links out of every article. And you can use this technique again and again, featuring a different set of sites every time.


Of course, the links are reciprocal - but the efficacy of this technique is far above a "let's exchange links" request (which nowadays is rightly ignored more often than not), and in most cases the links won't be buried under "Links" or "Partners" as is the case with reciprocal links.
 
does it still count as a link if you post a comment but you only link to your site through your name and don't put any anchor text links in the comment area? Is it still worth it or do the search engines only care about anchor text links in the comment area?

It has lesser value than a backlink with anchor text. But it still counts, and it's good to have a variation of backlinks anyway to make your backlinks look more legit for Google.
