Backlinks to Places Page

by Supafly
18 replies
Wondering if anyone had any success moving your places page up in the listings by building backlinks to your actual places page url in addition to the website.

I have not, but know others who claim that in addition to building citations, backlinking has helped them as well. My testing is inconclusive at the moment.

Regards,
Dino

    You want to backlink your citations rather than your GP listing itself. It works.

    Agreed. Links to citations has been a much better use for my backlinks as well. I have tried backlinking directly to the Places page for one of my listings and it doesn't appear to be having any effect on its position.

    Thanks for the comment.

    Yes, I totally agree with Thomas about backlinking the citation sites.

    And here is the really good news - because the citation sites are most likely high PR sites, getting a lot of traffic and having a lot of backlinks to them, you can build backlinks like crazy to those citation sites.

    No need to worry about building too many, too fast - like you have to with a new website. With all of the great WSO's and Warriors for Hire (did I really see 4000 backlinks for $10!?!?) you can get a lot of sites quickly pointing to your key Citation sites and get some near instant boost to your Google Places listings.

      create a backlink to the page that your citation is on. Or do you not know what a back link is? If it sounds sarcastic, sorry.

        @superfly I'm assuming you probably already know this but I'll throw it out there just in case. I've had of a lot of success by getting a consistent number of reviews on each of the Google Place pages and other citation websites (like Yelp.com). Often I've seen good results getting just 15 - 30 reviews. Of course you probably want to spread those reviews over a few weeks so it looks natural, but this seems to help out a lot right now.

        What facility are you making that backlink on? What is the easiest for a SuperPages or yellowpages citation? Articles, forums, etc....

        A citation is any mention of a company name, address, and phone number. Typically this is on a site like Yelp or Superpages that lets businesses create a profile or listing for their business.

        So your business listing on yelp or wherever will have its own URL and that is the url you want to backlink, etc. etc.

          What I would recommend is check out what the main citation sites are for your competitors. Make sure you have citations on those sites, then backlink those citations as a priority.

            Sorry for my ignorance but I thought the citation was the backlink to the places page. So far I havent heard of backlinking to the citation listing.

            Could someone help me here?

            Thanks,

    I guess it couldn't hurt, never tried it. But I would definitely backlink the citations as people said.

    Pretty sure there was another thread on this here, recently, with some Warrior tests going on about this... everyone's awaiting feedback on it.

      Backlinking the citation is a way of increasing its percieved value to G. Just like any sort of backlinking for SEO. As MaxReferrals says though: this seems like a good idea but as yet is unfounded.

    To let search engines index your new blog with its pages, you must build some links to the blog. The easiest way is by submitting it to blog directories. You can also exchange links with other related blogs. Increase your back-link numbers and therefore your website's page rank by Back-links, page rank, Google-bot activity monitoring on your website's pages and keywords analysis.

    I never knew that having a Google places listing could help boost backlinks and potentially SEO. Has anyone in here had success with having a Google places listing, and benefitting from additional free traffic from having a page on Google places?
