The Fastest Way to Get Links
Question: What's the
fastest way to get links? Google said that any page,
without at least one incoming link, is considered spam. So
where does one get links in a hurry?
Answer: From your blog, or any web page that you own. From
someone else's blog, an article submission, a press
release, or a directory like Yahoo, or Starting Point.
It doesn't really matter where the links come from. But
it's the quality of the link that has the most impact. The
more PR (PageRank) and link popularity that a page has, the
more of its "juice" that it will pass on to you.
For example, the "real" purpose of my old blog, was to get
deep incoming links to my main site. I posted just a
portion of an article on the blog, and then I deep linked
to the full story on my site. That way, all stories on my
main site, always had at least one incoming link. (These
days I'm buying press releases instead. They provide the
deep links to the download page for each issue, which link
even deeper to the individual stories.)
In addition to the PR of the page hosting the link, what
you say in the link is very important. Use your keywords in
your links. They will build a Reputation for the pages that
you link to. And that's important for good SEO.
But if you don't want to start your own blog, for incoming
links, you can use a service like Duncan
Carver's Authority Site X, or Mike
Liebner's Article Underground, both of which
include blogs, and provide incoming links.
Each page that you create, generates more PageRank for your
site. Sweet Google juice that you can aim however you want.
Remember... pages create PageRank... links distribute it.
My tests show that 100 words, four or five short
paragraphs, are enough to be considered a page worth
spidering.
So blog often, and link the blog entries to the most
important pages on your main site. That way, you'll be
spreading around that sweet Google juice, to the pages that
need it the most.
