Hello Warriors,
I am planning to do my research work for my masters and I have chosen SEO as my area.
I have thought of comparing which Link building technique is effectively yielding result,
High PR Profile Links --site 1
Blog Wheel - site2
Social Bookmarking -- site 3


What I am thinking is keeping same content and other onsite factors very limited and same and then performing only offline link building for 3 different sites with a single technique applied to individual site.
As other factors will be very limited and similar the only effect on SERP would be from the technique we have applied for that site.
I just wanted to know from you guys that this has not done before. If anyone knows something about similar kind of research work done then please provide me details as I can carry on from there..
Also what are the points shall I take care during this.
Thanks in advance.

    Your keywords and competition will also make a huge difference in the ability for each of them to get ranked for their perticular keyword.

    So I'd think for a true "balanced" measurement of the forces you'd need to test not just one, but several sites with each technique.

    Other wise you'll have nay-sayers pointing out that this keyword had this advantage over the others, or the competition for these top ten results was much easier than the other top ten competition for the keywords.

    As far as content goes, you could just not use any at all. Or just have the keyword once in all the appropriate places(title, tags, body, etc)

    If you're doing a link wheel with your blogs, are you also link wheeling each of the other backlink plans too? If not, that could be an advantage, as those links are just direct linking like the others are.

      About keywords, I will be selecting 4 keywords and all 3 sites will be optimized for those 4 keywords only. So same keywords and 3 sites will be there.
      I will be registering 3 domains on same date and almost same time with URL having almost similar keyword with a minute one character difference.
      I hope that makes sense.

    Link types described: Myth, Myth and over-hyped.

    High PR Profile Links are a myth. The site where the profiles are acquired might be High PageRank, but PageRank is determined on a page-by-page basis, and profile links seldom have a high PR, unless the persons profile is active in the forum.

    Blog Wheels are typically mythical SEO toys. They used to work well, but Google has caught on to this stuff. If they spot your Blog Wheel that utilizes Web 2.0 websites, those things will lose value in the eyes of the Google algorithm.

    Blog wheels can be helpful if done right, but few people do them right.

    Social bookmarking also puts links on individual pages that do not have any PageRank (link popularity) and likely never will. The only advantage in social bookmarking is when an individual profile has a lot of credibility in the community, with real followers who do not auto-follow each other. LOL



    When you run your testing, make the sites exactly the same on generic domains -- targeting generic keywords, to make your test control as clean as possible. Then try each technique.

    If you choose to be active in a forum, where you get a forum profile, I think that technique will win hands down.

    But most people who get forum profile links don't do things like that.

    If you do the blog wheel right, that is my #2 pick. But if you do it as most people do it, it could be a total loss.

    If your social media profile has no credibility, we are back to the same argument.

    In the absence of credibility, all methods fail on their own.

    And in the absence of credibility, I'd be interested in knowing which works for you, although my money will be on the Blog wheel.

      Thats what my main motive is. I don't want to have any additional parameters affecting the research. What I want is pure simple techniques applied to individual site and see which technique is gaining most and compare the results.
      About domain name also I have clarified that it will be "abcdefghijk","abcdefghij","abcdefghijk" (I could not write w3 and dot com prefix and suffix respectively as I am under 15 posts)
      here abcdefg will replace the main keyword.

      Yes you will have to go after high ranked pages, not the actual sites. The website may have a high rank, but the page you want to link from could have a PR of 0. So just watch out for that one. Make sure the actual page has a high PR.
      This is a really interesting project though. Maybe share some of your results on here with us once you're done.

    So you guys don't believe that mainpage PR carries over, even a little bit on other pages?

    @Bingo : Well, I am going for High PR Profile Pages. I have been doing the Angela/Paul stuff since last 1 year and have found few successful results with that also. We all know that High PR page itself will definitely give best result but those links are hard to get. Where as High PR Profile Links are comparatively easier to get and I am planning to check that if they actually yield results or not. (In my earlier experience the other factors were not limited, which will be limited in this study.)
