Backlinking Your Backlinks...Does This Really Work?

Backlinking - Is it worth the hassle?
Article on site or EZA first?

I think that a small RSS back linking to your "good" backlinks, is really useful, because every day, google tries to get more deeper into the link juices that are created to boost rankings, and It would look suspicious a website with 100 backlinks, but none of those 100 with a link back to them...

It doesn't take much time, and can prevent for getting slapped in the long term

Think of it as a blanket -- if all the fibers run parallel then the blanket won't hold together very well. You need fibers running adjacently to hold it together - that's what back linking back links does, creates a blanket.

It makes sense to 'promote your promotions' for several reasons. One reason being that one can use this a way to get your second level pages indexed when they might otherwise not be indexed and any traffic these pages get is traffic that can come to your main pages.

Possibly more important these days is that SE's are not run by stupid people. It is easy to understand that a whole network of low value pages linking to another low value page is not natural and this activity is not difficult to detect (it used to be harder).

When you start promoting your second level pages from a variety of sites then you are creating a much larger network and that probably looks much more natural (as long as one uses a mixture of linking types and techniques). The less structured your linking network looks the more likely it is to avoid detection.

Here is a commentary to a linked Google patent from 2004 that was only granted in early 2009. Method for detecting link spam in hyperlinked databases Google Patent Analysis.
This patent covers this very issue of spam link structures and their detection. I have read parts of the patent itself (linked from the commentary) and where the math did not get to me I could see what was going on. Link to your promotions and link out from all your pages to other pages both in and outside of your network.
Bear in mind that if this patent was applied for in 2004 that the IP in the patent has probably been in use since about that time and increasng in use as computing power falls in price.

Thanks for the feedback so far. So from what I can gather from the comments is that linking to your links is mainly to avoid a Google Slap of sorts by looking more 'natural', however what about passing page rank? I assume direct links to your money sites is still the main pusher of page rank and still needs to be the main focus?

Thoughts?

I can definitely vouch for backlinking backlinks. Page rank flows from one page to another. The more link juice that flows in, the more that can flow out.

Squidoo is no longer an effective "firewall" site since they have nofollow'd all of their links lowering (or entirely removing) the link juice benefit of linking out from it.

If you think that no-follow links are not important, too - you are sadly mistaken. If every one of your links is a follow link.......do you think maybe google can tell that your links are nothing but promo? If you are going to create organic SEO.....perhaps you should go about it organically?

Bookmarking your bookmarks and building backlinks to your backlinks is very natural and normal ... What amazes me is just how many do not get the "coming full circle method" (yes that is my phrase)..

If you submit your Rss Feed to RSSMountain - RSS Feed Directory - RSS Feed Search Engine then why should you not also ping it, bookmark it, make a blog post about it, and etc... It makes perfect sense to do so. You are not only submitting your rss feed but also linking to it as it links back to you. This gets into interlinking exchange (also a phrase I made up)...

Sal gave a real good example but you could also look at it like a spider web as it goes way beyond just vertical and horizontal. A spider web is done in cirlces and then interlinked many times over by lines of web that cross each other. If just one line of web is out of place then the spider web become weakened..

Here is an example of interlinking exchange and keep in mind this is a limited example...I actually have an ebook written on this..

Interlinking Exchange (yes, that is my made up name), can be very powerful and help increase your rankings. Now there are many ways to do Interlinking Exchange but one way that does work very well is posted below.

You Currently Have:

Article On Your Site/Blog - You have Article On Article Directory

Now what you want to do is since most article directories allow 2 links

* Link #1 - Leads To Blog
* Link #2 - Leads To Site

Now you want to install another blog (on the same domain and name the folder with keywords) and on this blog you are only going to use the article summaries and any widgets that article directories allow you to use. So on your posted summary you are going to link it like this.

By using one of the words in the summary (keyword should be used) you will link to the article. If you have an article posted on more than one directory then use different summaries on this 2ndary blog and link to them the same way.

By using another word in the summary you want to link to the main blog, the same exact place your article links to from the article directory.

Now you also want to add on this 2ndary blog the article widget so it will link to your articles.

The reason why you are installing a 2ndary blog and using it is this

* It links back to main blog which gives main blog more power
* It links to the article which gives the article more power
* Since you are using this blog to push the power your visitors never see the widgets and links back to the articles. This way you are keeping your main blog clutter free so nothing distracts your visitor.

You End Up With:

Article On Your Site/Blog - You have Article On Article Directory - 2ndary Blog For Summaries

During this same process you should be aware that you should submit all Rss Feeds to Rss Directories...

You see all of this plays a important role and all of it works together. You must be out there marketing your site and have proper seo on your site. Use articles, article directories, social media networks, press releases, document sharing sites and etc..

Doing this + bookmarking will increase your rankings very easily...

Think of this as a pyramid. I have lots of sites. Lets say on top I have a PR5 selling site and most of my links are coming from PR2 support pages. OK, by getting my friends to link their pr1 pages to my PR2 "sup" pages I then move the main page from PR5 to PR6. This looks more "organic". If a big search engines sees thousands of links to your main page, but none to other pages it seems spammy.
