Back Links To Improve SE Rank

Back Links To Improve SE Rank

This is a really good way of getting backlinks to your site. You look for blogs and Web 2.0 sites that do NOT have the “no follow” tag. There is a free piece of software called Comment Kahuna that helps you find blogs to post on. One of its key features is that it can find blogs where there’s no “nofollow” tag. Comment Kahuna lets you enter your keywords, enter the type of site you’re looking for (ie, Comment Luv, WordPress, TypePad, Squidoo and others) and then it’ll find blogs related to your keywords that you can post on.

This site uses Comment Luv  commentluv_black2 So feel to leave a HELPFUL and INSIGHTFUL comment.

You can choose whether you only want blogs without the “nofollow” or whether you’re happy to post on both, and I recommend that you do both. Don’t get too hung up on the nofollow tag. The search engines still follow nofollow links, even if they don’t use them as backlinks, and humans certainly follow nofollow links. I really only pay attention to whether the site has people talking on it.

The nice thing with Comment Kahuna is that it keeps track of your comments and watches them. It can also autofill some of the content.

What I recommend is that you keep track of the blogs that are approving your comments and build yourself a resource of sites that you can keep going back to.

Just to demonstrate how powerful this can be, I know one guy who ranks very well for a pretty competitive term (dating sites reviews) and his only method of promotion was using this tool. He says that a lot of the blogs he posted on were “nofollow” blogs, which demonstrates that even the “nofollow” links have some benefit.

The other good thing about comments is that they don’t just provide backlinks: If they’re good enough they could end up ranking in the search engines. This is why it’s so important that you don’t spam and that you have properly written content. If you’re not a good writer and you have a hard time being original, what you can do is take a section from the original post, quote it in your comment and then add a little extra of your own. “Good point, I agree, I saw this happen in X situation…” etc. Just make sure your comment adds value.

Here’s another idea for comments… if you’d like a backlink on your keywords you can insert a keyword as your name, since this is what will make the hyperlink text in your comment.
For exanmple, you could say that your name is “Joe ‘going bald’ Smith” or “Hair Loss Guru” or something that incorporates your keywords.

Also try looking at old blog posts… some might have developed some good PR over time. In other words, you don’t have to comment on just the most recent post.

Additional Questions On Improving SE Ranking

Question: Does “keyword.yourdomain.com” offer any benefit to your search engine rankings?

Answer: Yes but no. You really need to be careful with this. Subdomains are looked upon as being individual domains, but a couple of years ago they started being used for spam, so now the search engines are a bit wary.

You need to make sure that the subdomain is really justified in the context of your website. For instance, you might have a domain called “dogtraining.com”. You could then create “rotweiller.dogtraining.com”, “beagle.dogtraining.com”, whatever, but it’s not really necessary to have a subdomain for each of those.

However if you had a domain like “pets.com” you’d be quite justified in creating a subdomain “dogs.pets.com”, “cats.pets.com” and so on. Those are much broader categories.

If it’s a broad niche you’re in, then maybe you can get away with subdomains, but if you’re in a very specific niche then I wouldn’t do it. You can just use folders to get keywords into your URL. For instance you might have www.dogtraining.com/rotweiller/. This works well too.

Question: How many sites should you use for interlinking?

Answer: None of my sites really link to each other unless they’re very relevant, and I never ever have more than four sites that I own linked together. I don’t want to give Google an excuse to jump on me.

What I’ll do is brainstorm my subject and find topics that are relevant to it. For instance, if my website is on the topic of “back pain” then related topics might be “chiropractors,” “acupuncture” etc. Then I’ll go and build websites on these topics just to have them linking to my main site. Better yet, I’ll build web 2.0 pages, Squidoo pages, Hubpages etc, and link them all in. This way you’re using other websites and not your own IP address.

Question: Is it important to use different IP addresses and webhosts for each of your websites?

Answer: I have dedicated servers with lots of sites on them, but I don’t link them together. I also use a service that provides different IP addresses for each site. If I do need to link them together I make sure they’re all on different IP addresses with different company names as well.

But really, if you’re not linking your sites together then it doesn’t really matter, although I might say that if you’re doing well in one market, why would you move into a different market? Why not build a bunch of sites in the same market and try to exploit it as much as possible? In this case you would probably want some interlinking and you’d need to look at the IP address issue.

But why bother doing this if you can easily build links with these web 2.0 sites or by posting comments with Comment Kahuna? These links will all be on different IP addresses anyway.
