Like others, I’d have liked to see some solid advice for getting inbound links other than buying them. I know the basics that SEO’s have been hammering for years… Content that has value for readers, appropriate use of nofollow and ‘dofollow’, blog comments, forum and newsgroup postings, contests & services that include backlinks to your site…

Great post, I’ve often wondered about the value of directories. Recently we ran a few tests and found that you can get a site to move in the serps by just using directory submissions. This was the shotgun method rather than targeting quality directories. Who knows how well it will hold but we are using it as a link base to build from. I also recommend that you avoid the directories which require a payment for a site to be included. Many paid directories are launched solely to make temporary money. Their owners will promote the directory and try to inflate its PageRank to attract submissions and then switch to yet another new directory using the same bait. Many also have been banned or penalized by search engines for the practice of selling links without editorial review.

To be completely honest, I don’t care much about PageRank. PageRank does in turn mean SERPs, but that’s what everything comes down to for me. SERPs. In the end, nothing else really matters unless you’re trying to sell links or build up other sites. PageRank is important, but not the end-all factor by any means.

Matt Keegan - you bring up a good point - and i have definitely noticed that as well.

I still value PageRank, but I like how my site does with the SERPs for every single of one of my favorite keywords and key word phrases. Several of my lower PR sites outperform my higher PR sites, therefore I put more weight on SERPs.

Thanks for the heads up - someone else was saying the same thing.

It’s what U have that matters,content wise that is, and if you play Tagging / MeMe games with yr friends, do remember to change the deeplinks every now and then, help yr friend get more love too.Otherwise, google might think U as a smackdown spammer.

Great post! I am looking forward to your Part 2 and Part 3.

Linking is important. However, one should not be overly concerned about a page’s PageRank. It is just one indication of your page quality.

A PR5 page may not have many links pointing to it. It just needs a few links, including one that is at least PR7. As you’ve mentioned, you can rent such a link from text link brokers. Like it or not, PageRank can be skewed.

For a blog, I will focus on providing quality content to my targeted readers. Good content that your readers will recommend to their friends.

10 days ago I invented a new way of building links. Users can pick a posting date, claim the date and link it back to their own blog. The coolest would obviously be if it would be the same date in their archives also. See: http://www.cogmios.nl/claim-a-.....70312.html

I don’t care much about PR anymore. I have top ranked pages with 0 PR still ranking in the top 3 for semi-competitive terms.

John: This is only part one, it’s the intro to the 3 part series.

Jeff: I agree and disagree that content is king. I have a site that has 10,000+ pages indexed, no original content, and I rank higher than sites that were launched with the same content years before mine. Content is a key part of it, but by no means the end all.

To everyone: I will be continuing this series with outbound linking next week and the third week will provide strategies using the efforts from part 1 and part 2.

Hope you enjoy!

Beside bloging, you can put links from groups, community sites . But at the best its the content that matters the most and it is the only hard hitting point to explore.

I agree with the previous comment that content is still king and seems to be the darling of the search engines. I have had several blogs shoot up in traffic and PR in a matter of a few short months just by constantly writing to those blogs. I do have some link exchanges with other owners as well. Just my two cents!

I did a major overhaul of my blog recently and worked in a lot of the SEO tips I had learned over the years. Within 2 months Google, Yahoo, and many other search engines started showing me major love. One of the things I added to my site that Google really seemed to like was a site map. My daily traffic is increasing nicely. I believe when Google reindexes page ranks next month mine will increase a point or two.

Dugg! Looking forward to part 2 and 3.
