Link Building: Bouncing Google PageRank Back to Your Web Site with Squidoo July 5, 2010

Posted by admin in : SEO , comments closed

Here is one powerful way you can incorporate Squidoo and similar types of web sites into your search engine optimization and promotion campaign. This concept, which I’m referring to as “bouncing,” is sound for any of the major search engines because they all take links into account when ranking web sites.

In a nutshell, this is the process of linking to a high PageRank web site that also links back to your web site. The purpose is to help Google or another search engine spider find the site, so that it can then find the link back to your site. It probably seems much like link swapping, but we are mainly concerned with certain types of web sites where we control the process of placing a link back to our web site.

This strategy works with social bookmarking sites like Delicious and Digg, as well as sites like Squidoo that allow you to post HTML content. Social bookmarking has incredible power if you systematically bookmark high quality content on your web site. If your content is good enough, you can grow your links exponentially.

The remainder of this article will deal with Squidoo. It lets you create pages (called “lenses” in Squidoo terminology) with links to anything you want, and you have complete control of the content on those pages. Google indexes and ranks Squidoo pages with much enthusiasm, and the site’s home page has a very high PageRank. Certain other pages in Squidoo, such as lists of tags, also tend to have high PageRank.

Remember, PageRank is spread from site to site via links (unless the links are “nofollow” links). Squidoo tags pages, which are pages that list keywords people have used to categorize their Squidoo lenses, can have high PageRank values. The tags pages link to a list of pages that use those tags, with those pages in turn linking to the Squidoo lenses that use those tags. So PageRank can be passed from the tags page, to a list of sites, to your Squidoo lens. You can then place a link on your Squidoo lens to your web site. Your Squidoo lenses will also have a list of tags which link to the tags pages.

So the “bouncing” referred to above refers to the process of placing a link from your web site or blog to your Squidoo lens (or another Squidoo page), so that search engine spiders can make their way from your web site to Squidoo and back to your web site, at which point you hopefully pick up some PageRank passed back from Squidoo.

If your main site is not indexed in Google or in another particular search engine, then this strategy does not work. The search engine needs to find your site to begin with, unless it finds your Squidoo lens first and finds your site that way, which would be great but not really a “bounce.” Your Google rankings will improve as you bounce search engine spiders to other web sites, only to have them bounce right back, passing PageRank along with them.

At first I want to tell you something about link building basics. Link building is about getting inbound links to your website /link popularity building/ and it is one of the most important aspects when evaluating the quality of a website. Our intention is always to get more visibility and traffic to our website through these links. It is a part offpage search engine optimization /SEO/ and you have to do it, when onpage optimization is done correctly.

With link building you will improve your link popularity and that is important because every search engine /Google, MSN, Yahoo …/ now consider them as a part of their ranking algorithms. It is inevitable part for achievement TOP 10 position in search engines and for the good Google Page Rank as well.

For those who don’t now what the page rank is, here’s the explanation. Google is measuring the importance of the websites with the scale for ranking called pagerank /it is from 1-10/. When you install the Google bar, there you see the pagerank of your website, the higher is the better.

But now, let’s start with link building process. We know 2 types of link building in term of linking:

1. One-way link building

2. Reciprocal link building

The first one gives more importance but it’s harder to get. Here are some simple but effective tips.

1. Getting one-way link is not so easy, because your website must provide some useful and quality information for your visitors so they will link to your site without asking them. Be sure to always create on your website an important page and name it “Links to us”. It helps your visitors to copy and paste the HTML code to their websites; you can also create a small banner ad. If your information on your well designed website is interesting, useful and up-to-date people will certainly link to you without asking. These sort of inbound links are natural and valuable, but this is not the only method to get one-way links. Here is the next:

A, Submitting to the popular and niche directories /the most important free directory is DMOZ.org and paid Yahoo directory/.

Find for your website suitable directories and pages accepting your site. Put into Google, Yahoo and MSN the following word and keyword combination:

“add url” “your keyword” “no backlink required” ,

“submit url” “your keyword” “no backlink required” ,

“submit link” “your keyword” “no backlink required”

By typing these queries to Google you will directly find thousands of one-way links.

B, Submit your website to the article directories

Write an interesting article about your business or interests, but never trade in your article. Try to provide interesting information. If you don’t have time write or you don’t know how to do it you can hire some freelance writer who will do it for few bucks.

Search for article directories, simply type a query to Google:

“submit your article”,

“submit article”,

“add your article”,

“add article”

With these queries you will find hundreds of free article directory sites!

Don’t forget to promote your articles and website at digg.com, del.icio.us, technorati.com, furl.net, rawsugar.com, simpy.com, shadows.com, blinklist.com, my.yahoo.com, google.com/reader, my.msn.com, bloglines.com/help/share.

C, Submit your website to the forum sites

Another way to generate one way links is by participating in forum debates. There is also the possibility to leave your signature and URL. Many forums allow you to register, add a relevant comment or thread and sign your comment with a website. Some forums are so popular and visited that search engines visit them often and can generate a free traffic for you.

D, Leave a comment on other blog sites.

Search for the blog sites related to yours where you can leave a comment.

Type a query to Google:

“Leave a comment” intitle:”your keyword”

“Leave a response” intitle:”your keyword”

“Leave a comment” “your keyword”

“Leave a response” “your keyword”

Always read the corresponding article /blog/, make only on-topic and useful comment, but be careful not to spam.

If you have a blog site, be sure to submit it to blog directories.

E. Press release distribution

Next possibility to get one-way links and visibility is to submit a press release about your site to PRWeb, PRLeap. These sites distribute press releases to major news outlets and syndicates.

F, Email newsletter directory submission

Find email newsletter directories you can get the value from advertising in the newsletter and then benefit from the link in the website archive.

Some newsletter directories:

Ezine-Universe.com, Zinos.com, BestEzines.com, InfoBot.net, LifestylesPub.com, …

G, Buy one-way links

You can also buy links from high ranking sites. It can bring you some traffic and increase your page rank but have to pay for linking back from $10 – $200 monthly depending of the pagerank and position of your link on the website. Quality text links ads you can get from textlinkbrokers.com

There are lots of link brokers out there waiting to sell you a link from a high ranking site. These may have value but I like to look for well established, relevant newsletters that sell ads AND archive past issues on their website

H. Beware of Link Farms you may often heard about getting thousands links but it is not effective and that’s not the way to go.

2. Reciprocal Link Building

The easier way to getting links is asking website owners or webmasters for link back to your website for their link. Always put their link to your website before you asking for a links exchange. It’s harder to say no when you link them back.

To find your competitors backlinks in Goggle, MSN and Yahoo type the following:

Link:www.yourcompetitorwebsite.com try to get backlinks from these sites

Let’s see how to find another link partners in search engines:

“add url” “your keyword”

“submit url” “your keyword”

“submit link” “your keyword”

“your keyword” “link exchange”

Quality reciprocal links you can find by typing the previously mentioned queries in directory.yahoo.com and dmoz.org.

Link popularity building is not an overnight process; it has to be doing properly, continuously, day by day or week by week. You may use some link building software, but when you build links always vary the link building techniques and after 3 6 months you will see how your link popularity and traffic are increasing.
