2. Why Do I need Backlinks?
• Google, Yahoo, and Bing (search engines)
crawl the web and see backlinks as a “vote” of
confidence for your website. The more votes,
or links, the better you will rank
• If your competitor ranks better than you, they
have more backlinks, and higher quality ones
than you. It’s that simple.
3. What types of Links Can I get?
• Press Releases • Private Networks
• Guest Blogs • Article Directories
• Social Bookmarks • Blogroll / Sitewide
• Social Networking • Pay Per Post
• Forum Marketing • Directories
• Blog Comments • Question / Answers
• Forum Profiles • Video Marketing
4. Permanent, Rented, Quality vs
Quantity?
When you make the decision to buy backlinks it
should be based on these 3 factors. The longer
you plan to be in business, the longer your
marketing campaigns should help you to
increase your ROI.
This means avoid rented links on advertiser /
publisher networks, and pay more now for
quality which enjoys a cheaper price in the
longrun.
5. Press Releases
• Prweb, Prnewswire, Prlog, Businesswire are
some of the most popular ones. They are paid
services, and syndicate to hundreds of
newspapers (many never get indexed though).
Main thing is they host your press release for
life on their website, which is trusted with
high pagerank.
6. Guest Blog Posting
• Ultimate white hat / time consuming link
building activity. It’s not only a great way to
get a permanent backlink on someone else’s
website (chances are they won’t let their site
die)
• Myblogguest.com is a great resource for
finding guest blog posting opportunities.
7. Social Bookmarking
Think of these as the original social sharing sites
such as digg, reddit, stumbleupon, delicious.
Here you can submit your webpage to people
interested and they can vote it up or down.
BookmarkingBeast is a service that manually
posts to the top sites and other thousands.
8. Social Networking
Sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest. Search Engines trust social
signals and rank those webpages that have them higher.
TwitterBacklinks helps get you more retweets, tweets,
and higher rankings in the search engines.
PinterestBacklinks is good for image marketing, getting
more pins, repins, likes and comments on one of the
fastest growing social networks ever.
9. Forum Marketing
The Internet is made up of millions of forums.
Finding ones based on your industry can be
done by “your keyword here” “forum”.
Since it takes time to register, add a signature or
link in your profile, and post it can be either very
time consuming or a premium service (if not
spammy replies to threads)
10. High PR Blog Comments
Most blogs allow comments. In the name field or even
within the comment itself you can link back to your
website (usually). By targeting ones with Pagerank
(trust) you can boost up your rankings.
High PR Blog Comments finds old blog posts that
have built in trust, posts a comment and gets a
link.
11. Forum Profile, Wikis, Edu / Gov
This is a more spammy tactic as it involves registering to forums
without any intention of posting to them. You register and fill out
the “about me” or “signature” section with your backlink. Wikis
and edu sites typically use spun content (rewritten). Best used to
help boost up any trusted websites, such as Press Releases that
link to your site
BulkBacklinks is a service that builds thousands
of forum profiles, wikis, and edu / gov links
using random anchor text to avoid penalty.
12. Private Networks
These are websites owned by one or a few
individuals to link back to their own websites.
Typically these sites are found out and penalized
so they are not recommended to rely on. They
are powerful however.
13. Article Directories
There are only really a handful (around 25) really top notch
article sites. The rest seem to come and go and don’t stand the
test of time. Some of the best
1. Ezinearticles
2. Goarticles
3. Amazines
4. Scribd
5. ArticleBase
14. Blogroll / Sitewide / Footer
These are usually rented backlinks. Since the
Google Panda and Penguin update their
effectiveness has been greatly diminished. Now
instead of having the same keyword on every
page it’s recommended to use different
keywords and websites being linked to for a
more natural profile.
15. Pay Per Post
Sponsored Posts are basically paid guest posts.
They allow you to reach new audiences and get
a link back to your website. Unfortunately many
of these networks were discounted by Google
and now use “no follow” when linking back to
your website, which doesn’t help your search
engine rankings, at least not by much.
16. Directories
Directories can be general or hyper focused.
Yelp, Google Places, Yellow Pages are examples
of local ones that allow reviews / citations.
Other, more general directories allow you to
place your links.
Both are great ways to expand your brand
presence while picking up quality, curated
backlinks.
17. Question and Answer
People have questions. So there are many
websites and platforms that allow you to ask
questions and / or answer them. The most
famous is Yahoo Answers, where a “best
answer” to a highly sought out problem could
reap you the benefit of referral traffic in addition
to a long lasting link to your website.
18. Video marketing
Youtube and Vimeo are the most popular video
websites that allow a clickable link in your video
description. Create a video in your industry and
link back to your site. These sites are mega
authority and highly trafficked – a win win.
19. Now you know what to buy / ask for!
• Ask your SEO company what types of links
they build
• Ask if you get a full report (no secrets!)
• Don’t settle for rented links (unless you are
already profitable and further rankings means
more $$ than you are spending)
• Try all of the above on your own at least once
to better understand it’s value / time.
20. Set a budget and take the plunge!
Buying backlinks is an investment in your website. Regardless of
your link building services company you will have to pay for labor
and management fees.

you don’t need to spend countless hours
