How are they getting these backlinks????

13 years ago

Paid links are more common than you may think, old school srtle had site wide blog rolls, more stealthy methods have links in th content of relevant pages. Or maybe like G hopes the sites just liked them enough to link.

Quality links are negotiated, not dropped in the dead of night.

There are individual site owners or network operators you can approach, as well as brokers, detection by big G is the big worry.

Looked at the 2nd one, pr6 with just 42 inlinks (many Joomla related) is impressive.

  Welcome to the fine art of HIGH PR Expired Domain Purchasing :-)
  
  These were playing with fire with so few links pointing to them ...
  
  Check the way back machine for these domains - bet they looked a little different a few months ago ...
  
  ... fun game to play if you got good BL research skills and a fat wallet.
  
  PR begets PR, and leasing links helps you fund the the continual acquisitions needed.
  
  Ha ... Jack beat me ... I stepped away to grab lunch - an apple ...

So they bought high PR blogs and just linked to themselves? Interesting.

This site that I'm talking about recently took my #1 spot for a profitable keyword phrase (and about half my normal income along with it). My on site content is about 10 times better than theirs and I update it daily, but they beat me with all these damn backlinks, an area that I have little knowledge about.

I don't think I have the funds to buy sites to link to myself like they are doing, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fight off the competition and reclaim my #1 spot? Thanks for all the input guys!

Thanks

In all fairness, I added a ton of content just this month, and I've only been doing the daily updates for about 2 weeks....so maybe with a bit more time my content will have some fighting power.

But yeah, I definitely need to work on the backlinks, I've only got maybe 20 or so total, vs. the hundreds that my competitors have.

Honestly, I've been sitting pretty at the top since this summer, so maybe a little competition is good to give me a little push to expand my IM knowledge. Your advice is helpful, I really appreciate it, thank you!

Thanks

You may want to look into advertising on Chitka network for your url/keywords ... I just saw a crazy crazy thing happen ... A competitor had a crap ass site - obviously got an SEO - 301'd a totally new site in over their old POS, and ran an advert on Chitka network.

Apparently the ad code that runs on that network puts backlinks to the advertisers site - over nite. They went from 180 backlinks to over 17,000 links on many many pr5-6 sites/blogs ...

it was crazy! not sure what that ad spend cost - and how long those links will stay - but that was insane!

They are apart of a blog network :rolleyes: , A bit of research and the wonder usage of Google will find you a number of them which are surprisingly good, Some created by some very respected industry leaders.
