Hi everybody,

Sorry for the long post... Let me try to simplify the question :

Is it a wise strategy to ceate a big/meaningful article (or Facebook-note, or PDF on Scribd), with link/s to my website, and then to create some more articles which will contain links to that initial article (or Facebook-note, or PDF on Scribd), so the backlinks that lead from it to my website will have more "link juice" ?

Something like this : Several "ordinary" articles One "anchor" article (long and heavily invested) My website.

This idea was brought up by Joseph Archibald here, on this forum, and it sounds quite interesting, but as it likely to consume quite some time and energy, I would like to hear from peoople who already tried it for some time...

Thanks, Roni

any proof? hope this method is effective.

i think you should make dofollow backlinks (to get high SERP)
like articles at articles directory, wiki pages, blogpost, web 2.0, etc

Yeah driving backlinks to your backlinks works really well but as it can take a lot of effort you need to know when to do it.
The principle behind it is that the if the home page is a PR5 then the lower pages can quite easily become a PR3. Whereas if the home page was a PR1 then with the same amount of work applied you may get your article page up to a PR1 as well.

- First step is to get the article submitted to a high PR site. Now the article will be listed on a brand new page (PR-) but with a little work that can be improved.
- Secondly start to drive some good backlinks to your article listing page. A good method that has worked well for me is social bookmarking with something like SocialMonkee (sig). If you want to use articles for that as well then so be it, its a lot more effort though.
- Sit back and wait.

You do not want to build too many links to your article as this can look unnatural. Given time these prove to be really powerful links!

You can then apply the same method to any kind of links you get from an authoritative domain (high home page PR)

Hey obviously I'm no authority, but thought I'd add my 2 cents anyway since I read Mr. Archibald's thread as well and based my offpage SEO on what he did.

The first site I used it on I used 6 articles (original, very decent quality) that I put on Ezine, goarticles, ideamarketers etc. Now this site I imagine was sandboxed, or google hates it or something. Up to this point it never ranked above 500 for the main keyword (of only 3900 exact a month) Never had this problem before! So, I then spun one of the articles and blasted the 6 'anchor' sites using AMR. I created a RSS feed of the livelinks, etc etc etc.

BAM!!!! Within 4-7 days the non-ranking keyword popped up to like 300ish or so. Over the course of the next 4-5 days it crawled the SERPs to 137 (lol so lame right?). Then it quickly disappeared back into the mythical(?) oblivion called Google Sandbox and I haven't seen it since.

So! Not ready to give up I just tried again on a different site. I used a slight twist, but frankly I'm loathe to "push" what I did because as it turns out someone did a WSO on it and I don't want people to think I'm pumping it, so I will just say its basically a glorified linkwheel/pyramid thingie.

I created the 'anchor' sites, used a combo of SocialADR and SocialBOT(for 7.77 can't go wrong!) to make sure they were indexed. Its important to note here that ONLY 1 SITE actually linked to my main site. My SERPs went from 50ish where it was stuck for the last 3 weeks to now 25 (and for the first time I'm measurable in Yahoo ) and I honestly haven't done anything else. Today/tomorrow I will blast the anchors with AMR and see if I can get into the top 10.

As I said, these are pretty limited examples and as I've found all over this forum, many people much more experienced than me will disagree, and others will agree. I honestly believe that the 'anchor' sites will increase their PR and thus their juice. Whether that juice eventually reaches my moneysite and increases my rank in google...well we will have to see.

To sum it up, I beleive linking your backlinks to ensure they are indexed and possibly provide some extra juice is an effective SEO method. Even if that juice is not passed on immediately the long term effect should help.

Pretty long and drawn out 2nd post sorry about that

That's kinda how backlink energizer works, it does help to boost your article backlinks, but from what I've seen with leading article directories is that they eventually get indexed anyway.

There are a lot of individuals who build links to their links. This is where some folks "automate the process.

Personally I would not have a problem hand building some backlinks to my links, but I would never blast those links.

building backlinks from your article can give you quality links.

Article backlinks is most effective but it should need more time. Most of the popular site doesn't have access. Very often its happening regularly with the familiar article sites.

Is this work like link pyramid?
