Quick & Dirty Search Engine Optimization
Before I get into building backlinks I want to say a quick word about search engine optimization. Optimizing your site will greatly increase the effectiveness of your backlink building efforts.
Keywords in domain
You must make sure that your keywords are in your domain.
For example if your site is about poodle manicures then ideally your site would be PoodleMaincures.com or Poodle-Maincures.com
Keywords in title tags
You must make sure that your keywords are in your title tags.
For example if your site is about poodle manicures then your title tags would look something like:
<title>Poodle Manicures</h3>
Keywords in h1 tags
You must make sure that your keywords are in your h1 tags.
For example if your site is about poodle manicures then your h1 tags would look something like:
<h1>Poodle Manicures</h1>
These are the basic things I recommend. To learn more about search engine optimization go to:

Social Bookmarking Made Easy
This is the hardest step in the whole process but it well worth your time.
Get Firefox
First you need to use the Firefox web browser. We’ll be using some of the plugins for Firefox to get traffic.
Download Firefox:

Become A Top Commenter On Blogs
The basic idea
The basic idea is to find blogs that have the “Top Commentator” widget installed.
For example the blog QuickSprout ( http://www.quicksprout.com ) has this widget installed and you can see it on the right side of the main page:
The people with the most comments on the blog are rewarded with a link back to their own site.
Looking at the list above you can see that Prostate Problems (8) has placed 8 comments and gets a free backlink.
The best part is this widget is shown on every page of the blog. So every page of this blog has a backlink to Prostate Problems.
But many pages does this blog have?
We can get a count by going to Google and searching for:
site:quicksprout.com
This blog has 193 pages!
If you’re one of the top commenters of this site then your backlink appears on 193 pages. How cool is that?
A Quick Word About NoFollow
There has recently been a lot of discussion about NoFollow and if it really matters.
(For an explanation of NoFollow and why it is important to go to:
http://nickstraffictricks.com/1168_why-nofollow-matters-and-how-to-find-blogs-that-dont-use-it/ )
Personally, I think the jury is still out on this. At this point I recommend becoming the top commentator only on blogs that do not use NoFollow. It certainly will not hurt you.
How to find these blogs
The toughest part of all of this is finding blogs with the top commentator widget and that are DoFollow.
I spent several hours doing this and created a list of 30+blogs that have the top commentator widget and that are DoFollow.
I am selling that list of 30+ blogs & a copy of this technique in pdf format for $5 here.
Social Bookmark The Blogs
Once you are one of the top commentators on a blog your backlink will be on every one of their pages.
Now you want the search engines to take notice.
To do this you simply submit the blog’s home page or newest blog post to social bookmarking sites using OnlyWire. This should take about a minute of your time.
More Ideas
Another way to get a blog noticed by the search engine is to make a blogspot blog and on it link to all the blogs that now have backlinks to your site.
Next submit the BlogSpot blog to OnlyWire.
Example
Let’s say you have a site called PoodleManicures.com and you have become the top commentator on blogs alpha.com and beta.com.
You go to BlogSpot and signup for a free blog.
To help the search engines index blogs alpha.com and beta.com (and see your backlinks) you place links to alpha.com and beta.com on your BlogSpot blog.
Next you submit your BlogSpot blog to OnlyWire.
You can use this same strategy with Squidoo lenses too.
To do this you simply go to squidoo.com and make a free Squidoo lens.
Next you link to blogs alpha.com and beta.com on your Squidoo lens.
Next you submit your Squidoo lens to OnlyWire.
Doing this will help ensure that the search engines come index blogs alpha.com and beta.com and see the backlinks to your site.
Consider Outsourcing
As time goes on you and you make money I recommend you invest some of your profits and hire someone to help you with your work.
A lot of people suggest using elance or guru.com. I recommend first tying to hire a friend or family member you trust.
Before You Begin Commenting…
Before you begin there are several things you need to be aware of:
- Leave good comments
You must leave good & thoughtful comments on a blog. If you leave spammy comments then the blog owner will delete them and they may ban you from making future comments. Join the community and contribute something. - Be patient
Some blogs require all comments to be approved by the blog owner before the comment shows up. If this is the case then bookmark the page where you expect the comment to show up and revisit the page a day later. - PageRank Changes
I have sorted the blogs below according to PageRank. PageRank does change periodically change and if one of the blogs below has a different PageRank then leave a comment at the bottom of this page. - Consider Low PageRank Sites
There is a lot more competition for the top commentator spots on blogs that have a high PageRank. So you may want to start with blogs where it’s easy to become a top commentator. - You may have to search
The list of “Top Commentators” is usually on the right side of the blog, but once in a while it’s at the very bottom of the blog. You may have to spend a minute searching for it.

Onlywire is a great free tool for social bookmarking. It may take a little time to register with all the sites but once set-up social bookmarking any site would be a breeze.
What if you have a different blogs for different topics and place your links will it still do the job, it may increase the job but is it worth it?
I did not quite understand your question when you said, “place your links will it still do the job”. What did you mean by place your links?
Thanks for the wonderful information and provide the list of social bookmarking sites.
Hi!
I think Zain is interested to know if the blog where we add the comment has to have the same topic as ours.
Some SEO experts say the blog where we add the comment has to have the same topic as ours, others say it is not important, just to have a more and more backlinks.
What is your opinion?
By the way, thanks for the info

I don’t the topic of the blog is that important.
Hi, I am really interesting on the secret-weapon way in building backlinks. So here is the question: What if the article (that is going to submit) have been duplicated by someone else. Is the article still worth-to-submit? I mean, do I have pick another article or just submit it anyway. Thanks for your kind attention.
You shouldn’t submit other people’s article to article directories.
Thank you for your article.
I guess it will help increasing backlinks.
Many don’t understand how important links are to a blog or site. This should bring some awareness to it. Thanks!

About squidoo lens, is this trick allowed by google? or just trick to get backlink quickly.
It’s simply to get the page indexed and make sure that Google re-crawls it and finds your link.
Thank you for the run-down on getting back links. I have to say I have had a lot of trouble finding the patience to leave a lot of comments on blogs.
Also, I highly recommend the SearchStatus add-on for Firefox. It displays Pagerank and Alexa ranking for every site you visit. It’s been a big help for figuring out which sites are worth my time.
I had never heard of OnlyWire before, thanks for the tip! Would you recommend anything specific for an eCommerce site?
onlywire should work just fine for that.
I need to look up onlywire. I have not heard of that yet. While I am familiar with the other things you went over. I am interesting in seeing If this could help me.
I didn’t know onlywire, thank you for sharing, I will try that.
I’m not familiar wtih OnlyWire so that might be worth me trying. A lot of people now don’t really have the time to mess around with searching down each individual type of site and blog to post on and get the names of their sites out there and this site can really help me to make a bit of speedy progress.
this is the best resource on SEO I found on the net.
every body tell do this do that but no one says why and how??

I know that social media is one of the best technique for making your site popular and gaining a lot of backlinks. Blog commenting is also one of having backlinks and promoting your site online.
