Be smart about where you backlink
- SEO |
"If a tree falls in the forest, and no one's there to hear it..."
This saying holds meaning with respect to making sure your backlinks count. You're investing your time and want to make sure you get the most possible mileage out of time spent.
Make sure the pages you're putting backlinks on are likely to get indexed.
A little trick I use is to do a site-specific search on google and then narrow it down to the last 24 hours to see how many new pages on that site were indexed. You'd be surprised to see how few of the pages some of the "recommended" sites actually have indexed 24 hours or even a week later.
Search the site on Google ---- site:site.com (do it without the www in case the site indexes its pages with any other prefix. This will search it globally)... then click "Show options" underneath the search box and narrow the search down to 24 hours, or even a week if you'd like to give it the benefit of the doubt. Then look at the types of pages being indexed. Do they include profile pages? Member blogs? Only site-produced news items and editorials?
Well that should tell all. If you find that a total of just 24 site pages have been indexed over the course of the last week, the chances of this link being found are clearly pretty low. Avoid these sites. The 20 seconds it takes to find this data is much less than the few minutes it takes to set up an account, and/or post backlinks. Better yet, finding the right sites via this method to maximize your effectiveness is just as beneficial, if not more.
Use your time wisely - it's the most valuable thing you have
