3 Automatic Link Building Methods That You Probably Aren’t Using
John Vantine | March 30th, 2010
Most SEO-minded webmasters are constantly looking for new ways to acquire backlinks. You can never have too many, right? What if I told you that there are ways to automate this task? What if you could build links in your sleep? No, I’m not gonna try to sell you some shady software. Believe it or not, if you have half-decent content that’s worth reading, you might be able to put your readers to work for you. Copy, Paste, Promote I was reading an article on the New York Post the other day, and wanted to share it with a friend. Rather than sending the URL of the article to my friend, I copied several paragraphs to my clipboard and sent them to him via IM. After sending the IM, I saw that there was an additional sentence at the end that I hadn’t noticed before. I definitely hadn’t seen that sentence in the news article itself. It said “Read more”, and provided a backlink to the article. I knew that I hadn’t copied this sentence from the article, so I took a closer look. It turns out that the NY Post was using a service called Tynt. Tynt monitors what is being copied on your site, and adds a link back to the content being copied when a user pastes it somewhere.

Anchor Text Test: Making The Most Of A Link Opportunity
John Vantine | February 22nd, 2010
Link building may not be rocket science, but it can be difficult. It’s not always easy to find “authority” sites in your niche that are willing to link to you – and when you find someone with a relevant site/blog who is willing, the link may not be on your terms. Likewise, while guest posting is a great way to build links, best practices change frequently and it can be tough to keep up. Despite these inconsistencies, however, one factor remains that contributes greatly to any link building initiative and that factor is anchor text. The importance of anchor text when link building When link building, anchor text is key. Ideally, anchor text should take the form of keywords for which you want your site to rank. However, since other sites will invariably link to you, it can be difficult to control how these links are anchored. Say, for example, you run an online snowboarding store… We’ll call it snowstuff.com. You want your store to rank well for relevant terms in your niche – terms like “snowboards” – and the way people link to you matters. Ideally, you’d have links from many “authority” sites in your niche and most of them would use the anchor text “snowboards.” Unfortunately, however, some people who link to you may use some other less-than-desirable anchor text, like “snowstuff.com,” or even “click here,” neither of which help your site rank for important keywords. You may try to convince them to change the anchor text, but Continue reading…
