Link Building – 6 More Resources

Posted by JR in Link Building, Search Engine Optimization, Social/Web 2.0 Marketing

Here are more link building resources for search engine optimization and Internet marketing. I have added these to the master list: 65+ Social Bookmarking Sites.

Stumpedia - PR5
Very easy submit, picks up Meta Tags and has a bookmarklet for browsers. A human powered social search engine with 100% do-follow links, add your home pages and all sub-pages, choose categories and tag with relevant keywords.

Social Median - PR5

Easy submit with bookmarklet for browsers. This is one of the best social networks I have ever used. The key is to join news networks that are relevant to your sites, and there are many of them, or you can create your own.

When you submit your content the readers in those networks get emails with content updates. Votes on Socialmedian are called clips and it does not take too many clips to get on the front page. I always get lots of traffic from them and traffic that subscribes and buys, go check it out, there is a lot going on there.

Squidoo – PR8

I have mentioned this before but I will say it again, build some keyword rich lenses related to your sites topics and put some 100% do-follow backlinks on them to your sites. Many of my lenses are PR3+ because they piggy back on Squidoo’s page rank and the backlinks are very valuable.

Make sure to follow the lens building instructions for optimal success at: How-To Squidoo – Steps to Building the Best Lens for Website Promotion.

Wikidot – PR7

Build wiki’s or mini sites on any topic and put in your do-follow backlinks. I have not used this yet, but I hear good things.

Get it Gadget – PR0

Fairly new social site with do-follow links.

Zimbio – PR6

Zimbio will ping and publish your blog posts in relevant wikizines. You can also post articles and add links to your sites. All the links appear to be no-follow, but no-follow links are beneficial and the possibility for exposure and subscribers is there.

Do-Follow Blogs

Do-Follow Blog Search Engine

Newly launched and developed search engine to look for do-follow blogs. Updated regularly with very accurate results.

Happy Link Building!

Link Building – 7 More Do-Follow Social Sites

Posted by JR in Essential Marketing Lists, Link Building, Search Engine Optimization, Social/Web 2.0 Marketing, Website Promotion

Hello everyone, hope all is well, sorry for no posts in a few days, have not been feeling well, I think it’s the sudden cold up here in the California mountains where I live. Will have our first snow on Monday, should be snowed in for about three days …gotta love it.

Here are 7 more Do-Follow social sites for you link building efforts, and a couple of no-follows worth checking out. I have added these to the master list of 65+ Social Bookmark Sites.

Qassia – Do-Follow. PR5. This one is really great, 100% do-follow. At Qassia you have to add articles or snippets of content, they call “Intel” on any topic and at the end of each of those you get a do-follow backlink to the site of your choice. You can add your pre-published articles or original stuff and earn Qassia dollars. The content can even be a couple of paragraphs, nothing fancy is required.

Also, you can “Screen Intel” on member’s articles with a simple rating system and earn Qassia dollars that are used to make your content rank higher and get more link juice.

In the end you can distribute your Qassia dollars between all your sites depending on those websites or blogs you may want more link juice.

Megite – Do-Follow and easy submission.

Spotback – Do-Follow. PR5 – Spotback has cool widgets to add to your blogs and websites for rating your content, simple little star boxes (see mine at the end of the post). Readers do not have to leave your blog, once they rate it, it automatically goes to Spotback, COOL!! Also mouse over it and checkout how you can add tags without leaving the blog. Spotback has several options for widgets, as well as a Wordpress plug-in.

Launch Feed – Do-Follow. PR4, no anchor text, just URL. This one only allows you to submit your site once, so you can pick home page or a subpage.

Go Zoof - Do-Follow - PR4 – This is one is good and is 100% do-follow.

Really Awesome People – Do Follow. PR2 @ $5 per link with your own custom personal page. This is Jim Kukral’s creation, not sure if it’s worth $5 but check it out and decide for yourselves.

No Follow Social Sites Worth Considering

Blogengage – No-Follow - PR3 – Blogengage is new but has some good traffic. Brian, the webmaster has also just added Adsense revenue sharing program, I think it’s 50/50. This one is easy submit with the browser bookmark button.

Wobblog – No Follow, but lots of traffic there, can give good exposure for your websites and blogs.

Kaboodle – No Follow. PR6. Shopping site links, lots of members, especially female, good traffic!

Earners Club – No Follow – IM/AM content only, still PR0 it’s fairly new but has some good traffic, brought me a few visitors to this blog.

2 Considerations for No-Follow Social Sites

1. Traffic – Some of them can bring lots of traffic like Stumble and Reddit and others are just a waste of time. This is something you have to determine on your own by testing, because some niches do really well on social sites and some just don’t!

2. Yahoo and MSN ignore the no-follow tag and so they are still worthwhile for backlinks with those search engines.

As a rule, I always submit to do-follow social sites for the links, but the no-follow sites I usually submit to on a case-by-case basis after some testing.

Happy Link Building!
