Other than submitting to directories, writing articles, and exchanging links, does anyone know of any other ways to get a lot of backlinks?

**ADAM Web Design** · 09-09-2007, 07:14 PM

Building something worthwhile for end users. It's the easiest and hardest thing to do.

**JamieLewis** · 09-09-2007, 07:28 PM

ADAM makes some good points...but he is wrong

What you have to do is strip naked, walk into your nearest town centre, place on your sacred Google head dress and perform the backlink dance (you do know the backlink dance right??)

For that is the only way to secure those precious backlinks.

... one for Adam

...one for Jamie

You guys are a hoot! Poor freelance...

Two points:

a) You shouldn't share such top secret link strategy information so openly on public forums. Let the newbies find this stuff out the hard way like the rest of us did.

b) The sacred Google head dress is only applicable to Google. You also have the Yahoo Yodelers pipe hat and the MSN dunce crown to consider.

Very funny guys. I always thought that anyone that has broken the secret code to making lots of money off the internet only keeps this to themselves. I guess my suspicions have been verifiied.

Actually, Adam gave you the correct answer:

He even hit on the zen wisdom thing; someone must have given the guy an iPhone. The way to get links, plenty of them, and the quality type, is to build something unique and useful that people will enjoy using and naturally want to recommend to others. Anything else is hamster-on-the-treadmill.

Ahem. That would get our friend plenty of news coverage, and free rent with 3 square meals a day and 50 roommates ... but I don't know how much link love it would produce?

1/ There are of course lots of "people" selling the secrets of untold riches to be made on the internet.

Just one drawback;
If they are so good and "secret" why is there thousands out there selling them??

2/ There is only one secret code to making money using the internet, and that is with lots and lots of hard work.

3/ Why do you think you need lots and lots of backlinks?

**solidghost** · 09-10-2007, 11:32 AM

The easiest way is to go to those directories of directory and start submitting your site to them.

You can't be trying to tell us the secret to making money on the internet is the same as the secret to making money off the internet? Are you really saying that the secret is to make money and doesn't have much to do with the net?

You're as subversive as Google Code Search.

**ADAM Web Design** · 09-10-2007, 04:24 PM

I'm with John, Chris. Why did you have to go and tell freelancevote that? HE'S NEVER GOING TO GET RICH QUICK WITH YOUR ATTITUDE!

**CSS4Life** · 09-10-2007, 04:29 PM

I found a great web site which might help. I'm sure its 101% unreliable:

www.gullible.org.uk/blog/

This site is right for you. You want useless information like getting lots of backlinks, and this provides you with lots of useless (and fake) information too...

That information is totally unreliable. It says "Elvis brought back to life." Elvis isn't dead; he's living in a retirement home in Northern Florida.

Maybe it was a typo.

Did you mean "Elves brought back to life?" I'm sure Santa will be relieved to see the charges go away.

**Learning Newbie** · 09-12-2007, 07:45 PM

You could try farming your links. Add water, and harvest in the fall.

**ADAM Web Design** · 09-12-2007, 10:48 PM

Dammit, John, why must you lie to the newcomers like that? Everyone knows you harvest links in late summer so that you can sell PR(x) just after all the back-to-school specials end.

**seolman** · 09-12-2007, 10:52 PM

Careful Adam.... you're putting your green pen business at risk

**pirates** · 09-15-2007, 03:46 AM

Wow i love this so full of truth

freelancevote
my two pence worth

If you want back links- Ask your self why do want them and why fast.

Now i no from my past i could get about 100 backlinks a day but to me think wow this great my site at the time did not gain pr did not get more traffic and did nothing at all.
So read ebooks web sites magazines til my head hurt.
and i found out the reason if a site gets two many backlinks two soon then it looked to google that the site was cheating in some way mind you this was the days of the FFA sites now we have ffa directorys soon it be sites with over 100 links on a page google adsense sites will allso be hit i belive.
as google are going thew a slight change in the way it sorts out pr.
This my thoughts and not 100% sure they are or will.

here what you need to do to get good back links

1. make sure on your site that it is somethink that people want to se read and it excites them so much that they want to be linking to you.

2. find all sites that have the same or similia as your site see if they want to swap links AS GOOGLE LOVE THIS

3. only submit to good directorys that have a human checker ( yes will cost))

4. find out what is working and what is not and change some of your site to see if this helps
5 spend 1 hour a day searching for sites and emailing them asking for links

6. And dont put to much ads on site as that does p*** 60 % of surfers of and will just leave your site.

If this does not work then may be the dance is the best way.

My speling may be bad but my mind is fast and my hands are slow

Excite visitors? In what way? I think providing quality INTERESTING content is better than "exciting" them somehow.

You think? Google DOESN'T love people who link exchange. It likes people who get links naturally without linking to manipulate and corrupt their index.

Directories aren't necessarily a good way to get traffic though since not that many people actually go through directories looking for things, especially if the directory is a general one.

A lot of webmasters want links back if they are taking their own time to link to your site - hence link exchange, something that Google doesn't like that much. 1 hour also seems a bit of an overkill for this activity - the time would be better spent improving your site.

IT IS THE BEST WAY. Forget link exchange - the Google dance is the new hip thing to be seen doing.

**Phantom-DXH** · 09-15-2007, 11:39 AM

Theres no easy way to get backlinks. The best thing to do is find relevent sites & reciprocal link with them. Google will see this as a brilliant thing.
Also submit to DMOZ & produce genuine useful content on your site.

Where did you get that idea? Google HATES link exchanges - it simply isn't tough enough with people to say so. It wants natural linking - natural links are a much better way of gauging how popular a site is, but people have abused linking so Google has to analyse a lot of other factors too to ensure spammers and bad neighbourhoods don't slip through it's nets
