I am currently trying to create backlinks for my blog - no, not this one, I'm referring to http://thingswelovetohate.blogspot.com where more intere
sting things happen. So I'm posting this as an "adventure" and hope that somebody learns a thing or two.
The following can be done for free:
1. Submit your site to
Yahoo.
2. Answer forum questions through links to your site: so make sure you post the answer FIRST before giving the link, and provide the link to the actual blog entry so that it can still be accessible to other people who are browsing for answers to the same question.
The following are good sites where you can go and answer other people's questions:
1.
Yahoo! Answers2.
MyLot3. When you create an account in
myLot, you may add your blog to their site. myLot is a high traffic site. To add your blog, go to:
http://www.mylot.com/o/bloggers.aspx?a=aTip: Your default Blogger RSS Feed URL is
http://blogname
.blogspot.com/atom.xmlYou can check it out by entering that your URL in your browser and you'd see a summary of your blog posts. Mine is
http://thingswelovetohate.blogspot.com/atom.xml
4. Join
Qassia. [Here's my user page:
http://oyen.qassia.com/ Take a look to get a feel with Qassia.]
Qassia is a site that helps you earn with Google adsense, they display your blog and whatever ad revenues your page gets from the Google adsense is attributed to you. However, this is just a BONUS. What we really want to get out of Qassia is the backlink. When you apply your blog/s to Qassia then you get more page views and they provide you quality blog link. So if you don't have Google adsense, then don't even worry about it. If you DO need help, drop a comment and I'll get back to you ;)
*Don't forget to apply for the Sticker Promo. They will crawl into your site (randomly) and that's another way to be featured.
*Add Intel to get more quality back links. What you do is write about something that you know, then they would credit your site/blog for the knowledge that you share. That's another quality back link for you.I also signed up for Link Vault but later found out that I had to upload both a .php file and a .txt file for it to work and that isn't allowed in Blogger.
There's also Receive Links that I'm still trying to figure out. Once I get that running, I'll probably write about that as well.
5. Make sure you put your blog link in your email signature, forum signature. And update your social networking accounts and put your blog link on the MyWebsite area.
6. Post a bulletin on Friendster, MySpace, Facebook,
Plurk and other social networking sites that you belong to and invite them to take a look at your blog. You may also do this for blog entries that may interest such audience.
7. Ping your site every time you post a new entry. This may be tiresome but it's worth it - while you're at it, make sure your blog posts have tags because Ping sites such as Technorati utilize blog entry tags.
