Lets list our most valuable backlinking strategies per time invested!
- SEO |
(Assumes I already have unique content on my web page)
#1) resyndicate articles to top 3 article directories: Ezinearticle, GoArticles, SooperArticles, ArticleBase.
This is a very fast process once your set-up and easy to do manually.
My experience shows these article pages get PR#1 right when google updates PR. There are however a ton of other DOFOLLOW links on same page, usually by Google ADs, so I think your linkvalue may get diminished.
#2) Use a text to video converter, input article, outputs a video directory to youtube along with a nofollow backlink.
I think YouTube actually gives some weight to these backlinks, but either way, it does provide link diversity and you get some direct traffic.
#3) HubPages
Maybe I just got lucky but my first hub I created went to PR2 immediately after Google Update. I put a small unique 500 word article and a small picture in hub...That was it.
Best of all my 2 links I used in this article are both dofollow as I have a good Profile Score AND I have the only 2 dofollow links on the entire page (PR2!).
This is noticeably better than using Squidoo as once your links are dofollow, you share the juice with 10-20 other outgoing links depending on the modules you use.
I think Hub is also better than using Tumblr or WordPress, as you get the good PR very fast on Hub..I think Google gives them a boost because they know articles are moderated.
Extra Note: Blog Commenting:
I'm getting very fast at finding blogs in my niche manually..However finding a dofollow blog is nearly impossible....And using SEO Quake to find high PR blogs is time consuming as well.
