Help Wanted: Backlinking!

21 Jan 12 10:55 pm

Anyone got any tips to easier find websites I can post backlinks on? As I mostly spent hours searching the web for one backlink and it feels to me that my time isn't getting me the results I hear everyone speak about they do it rather easy.

Also comments on the website itself are welcome : )

Hello John,

Welcome to the site.

Backlinking is always a main topic on any forum. With Traffic Travis you will be able to analyis your competitor websites and the protential number of back links you will need to our rank them.

Of course there is more to it than that, what with quality of backlinks, on-page SEO, etc.

Also when you create backlinks, google needs to find them to index them, otherwise they are not of any use.

Once you have created a back link, then you should ping the page it is on, using a tool such as http://www.pingler.com.


To find good places to post links in the first place you can use software such as: http://www.commenthut.com

There is a free lite version.

Once you are getting results and creating a return then reinvest as Mark says. Certainly some form of automation for you backlinking would help, as manual submission is hard.

Kind regards

Peter

Thanks for all the tips I am getting!

Joshua, to answer your question, I am looking into all the ways possible to help me with the backlinking. But the thing is for me personally, that I get distracted with new things quite easily. I always check out the video's we get in the mail, which I study and learn things from.

Those all give me a lot of ideas and kind of overload my brain to be honest. It's a lot to take in to learn and I am a bit afraid of doing it wrong. So i'll put down a quick rundown and let me know if I am on the right track:

- Landing page
- More content on the site ( for example several guides )
- Create articles (Should I post the original on my own site to get more content there?)
- Post Articles on blogs/forums ( Anyone know a free spin program which is legit? )
- Rake in the backlinks
- Earn cash

So i've completed the landing page imo, and am starting on the more content/more choice for the customer.
(Is Voltranker okay for using backlinks or?)

Sorry for all the questions, just want to know if I am on the right track :) !

I like your site, how did you do the entire page rolling up while the picture stays in place. As far as backlinks I get a lot from answering forum posts and writing articles, the only problem with forum posts is that you normally have to sign in with a name which isn't as good as if you could use a anchor word but you can still get many that way. When doing the article thing you can have anchor words for the links you want going to whatever page you want but it depends on which place is posting the article. Some places don't allow that and can only put something in the authors box at the bottom. I would start by finding all the forums you can find on your subject and give a good answer to some question being asked or make a comment on an article that was on a blog site that works well also.

Hi jpdmg,

Welcome to Affilorama! :)

Driving traffic to your site and building backlinks are the most challenging tasks when it comes to getting a site going. But they are essential to getting those conversions and ranking for your keywords. Joshua gave you some really great tips like doing keyword research and mapping out what your target keywords are and then writing articles that optimize these keywords. Building a subscriber list early on will help a lot in the long run because having a list allows you to promote your products to a group of people already interested in the product.

We have several posts on building links that you might want to go over:

Hope that helps. Have a great day!

Guest posting on blogs is a great way to build traffic. your plan, although very general sounds decent. I generally recommend 10-15 articles on your site before you start promoting, then get out and start building links to each article.

Another thing is to use Traffic Travis, and look at the competition Tab under SEO, use the AVG Backlinks to find out the average number of backlinks that you need for each keyword, and focus on one page at a time for building links. The more focused you are, the faster your results will be.

Generally, I recommend starting your backlinking with money pages first. this would be high crisis keywords and product reviews. these pages will be the highest converting pages that you have, so focus on getting links to them first.Then do the rest of your articles.


With SEO traffic, I often find that sites with less than 40 articles are not ranking as well. Since the Panda update last year, they are looking for more authority sites to rank highly, so you need a lot of content. However, through engaging your niche on blogs and social media, you can get a lot of traffic while you wait for search engines to trust your new site.

It can take a while to learn how to build your first site. Some people pick it up quickly, but many people struggle through. However, once the first few are done, you will find that it becomes easier. I just spent 2 days setting up a new site, and most of that time was actually spent setting up my sales funnel, because it is a membership type site, not an affiliate site. A site like this would have taken me a month or more to do when I first started, but now I can do it in a couple of days.

Hi jpdmg,

Call me a bit silly, but I've not heard of that one before to be honest, does that mean I need to create the backlinks with my keyword as anchor text then? Otherwise care to explain that a bit?

Yes, to gain relevance and eventually rank for your target keywords, you need to use your target keywords as anchor text and refer/link back to the related page on your site.

Although I had the website itself running in a day, exactly how I wanted, the content I find the hardest part. That's slowing me down quite a bit, but I've started to team up with a friend. So he'll write articles for me, and I'll hand him cash when I can for it. So that should speed things up

That's a pretty good agreement. Getting content out on your site is one of the more difficult tasks in putting up a site. Try looking at other sites in the same niche to get inspiration or you can read printed materials on the subject and write your own opinion or take on the subject.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!
