If you find this post useful would you mind stumbling it up for me?

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.

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

You can find these blogs on Google by searching for:
“top commentators”

Searching for these kinds of blogs can be a long process.

Luckily, I have done the work for you and made a list of over 40 of these blogs at the bottom of this post.  To view the list click 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.

Tricky Way To Get Comments & Traffic To Your Blog

There are a lot of people reading this post and lot of people visiting the blogs in the list at the end of the post.
If your blog is in that list you will probably see a surge in traffic!
To have you blog added to the list click here.

You get the WordPress Top Commentator Plugin for free:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/top-commentators-widget/
After you install the plugin you need to add the widget to your theme.

There are a bunch of settings that don’t really matter but there are 4 settings that are important to have set correctly:

The settings with the red arrows pointing to them are the ones to pay attention to.

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.

Bonus:  More Backlinks For Sites

The following sites offer free backlinks:

Before You Begin Commenting…

Before you begin there are several things you need to be aware of:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

I know the importance of backlinks but was not aware of linking using the blogs comments. What is the best way of backlinking using comments? Is there any tools which can identify these blogs?

Reply

Nick Stewart March 1, 2010 at 2:28 pm

I don’t know of any free tools that exist to identify these kinds of blogs. There are several tools that you can pay for but some of them are quite expensive. I put up a list for free to help you guys out.

The way I find blogs that allow comments is to put this string the Google search:
“You can use these HTML tags”
What comes back are blogs that allow html tags in the comments. Now to sort them all out as to which ones are not “nofollow” without making it a full-time job – that is another mystery to me!

There are a whole bunch of things that you can look for like “Leave a Comment”. If you want to leave comments on blogger blogs then you can search for “Anonymous said…” (or something like that).

The real trick is to determine which ones use nofollow.

Is there a risk that adding lots of links over a short time that Google sees this is link spamming rather than an organic growth?

Reply

Nick Stewart March 15, 2010 at 12:41 pm

There is no risk in adding lots of legitimate back links in a short period of time. Notice that I said legitimate.

There’ve been several different natural disasters recently and a few bloggers had special access to the stricken areas. They put up a blog posts and photos detailing what happened. Overnight they had a zillion back links to them. And Google did not penalize them.

So getting new back links quickly will not hurt you as long as you are doing it any legitimate fashion.

I heard that having a backlink on all the pages of a website (such as on the “top commenter” widget) can actually hurt the ranking of the website you are backlinking to. Apparently, search engines classify these links as unnatural. In your experience is there any truth to this Nick?

Nick Stewart March 16, 2010 at 7:01 pm

I don’t think it will hurt you, but it’s hard to say for sure.
