Introduction
There are a lot of people stressing over how to get
backlinks to their blogs and websites.
Some people think that you need to buy “backlink
packages” and then start manually linking. While others
think that they have to spend a lot of money on some
program like SENuke or SEO Link Robot.
Although all of these methods are able to give you some
backlinks to your site. And, in some cases, a lot of
backlinks. They aren't necessary.
Before there was SEO Link Robot...before there was
Article Marketing Robot...before there was Bookmarking
Demon...there was....nothing.
But, even though all those high powered programs
weren't around, there was still a lot of backlinking going
on.
The system that you're about put in place will show you
a step by step process for building targeted anchor text
backlinks to your money site and then get them indexed
really quickly helping to drive more traffic to your blog.
Let's get started...



Before Starting – Tools Of The Trade
Before you start this link building program there are a
few things that you're going to need to have in place.

You're going to need to keep track of exactly where you
are building your backlinks. This is because you're going
to have to make sure that these backlinks get indexed.
So, you're going to want to know where they are.

The short list of tools is as follows:

1. A dedicated folder on your desktop or in your
documents folder.

2. A dedicated “throw away” email address from
Yahoo or Google. Preferably optimized for your
specific keyword campaign.

3. A dedicated Notepad/Wordpad file to
record/save the RSS feeds, domains and URLs
where you're building the backlinks.

4. A short 1-5 targeted keyword/phrase list.

5. A short 1-3 list of blogs in your niche that you
find interesting and want to comment on.

This will be your command and control center on your
computer to keep track of what steps you've completed
and which steps need to be completed.



Step 1 – Optimize Your Blog Content
To actually start getting backlinks to your site, you need
to have your blog/website content optimized for the
keywords that you're targeting.

Google and the other search engines are in the business
of locating relevant content. Because of this fact, your
blog/website should have at least 5 pages of keyword
optimized content.

But, don't confuse Google. Make sure that only one
page is optimized for one keyword. You can have more
than one page optimized for the same keyword. But,
don't try to optimize on page for 2 or more keywords.

Now, the focus of this digital PDF isn't specifically “on-
page SEO”. But to optimize your blog content, you have
to do some of this. You want to make sure that the
target keywords are included in each page's URL, title,
h1, and h2 tags.

When you have this in place, don't publish yet because
we're going to try to get a trackback (backlink) to each
page.

In step one, you researched 1-3 blogs that were in your
niche and that you want to link to. Now, pick a blog
post that you've actually read from one of those blogs.



The easiest way to do this is to write a short paragraph
about this blog post and link to it. This short paragraph
will go at the end of your blog post.

Here's an example:

If you want to get a really good idea about
“niche topic”, you should read this blog post.
“john doe” (use the blogger's name here) made
some good points that I think are pretty relevant.
Go read it now.
The reason that you write your paragraph this way is to
encourage the approval of the blog owner that you're
linking to. If there is a hint of spam, the blog owner may
not approve the link and give you a track back.

Another way to do this is to include it into the text of
your blog post/article. It looks a little more natural and
flows a little better if you include it in the body of the
blog post.

Make sure that you copy and paste each of your blog
URLs into the notepad file that you made in step 1 and
save it.



Step 2 – Writing Content For Backlinks
In this step you will start posting your backlinks to
article directories.
Now, since you're going to start writing content for
backlinks, you're going to want a good article spinner.
I stumbled across a good article spinner that is pretty
simple to use and won't cost you anything. It's called
SpinnerChief.
While this free version doesn't have all the features, say
of SpinChimp, or, The Best Spinner, it does have
everything you need to use right now.
So, if you can't afford to make an investment right now,
go over to SpinnerChief and sign up to get started with
this step.
While this content should be good quality, you don't
have to spend hours trying to “get it right”.
The reason for this is that you're not trying to get this
content to rank for any keywords. You only want the
backlink that these articles are going to give you.
So, here's the plan:
1. You sign up for accounts at the following article
directories.
2. You take each of your blog articles and spin it to
a unique version (make sure you have read it



and it makes sense. This will save you a lot of
headache and time).
3. You submit to EzineArticles first and wait until
it's approved and published – do I need to
repeat that?
4. After it's published, you submit another version
to each of the other article directories.
Make sure that you have included a link back to your
money site/blog in the resource box that is provided by
the article directories.
Try to make the links “deep”. In other words, don't just
link to your domain. Actually link to a blog post URL on
your domain using the specific keyword that post is
optimized for.
The resource box used to be used for a short bio of the
author. However, times have changed and there's a
better way to use the resource box.
Instead of including a name or short bio, add something
like:

this blog post summarizes the concepts of
“anchor text-put your link here” and explains it
further.
Or,



Others find that more information about
“anchor text-here's your link again” helps them
reach their goals faster.
As your articles are being published, record each RSS
feed and URL into your notepad file that you saved onto
your desktop in step 1 and save it.
Go sign up to the following article directories:
1. EzineArticles
2. GoArticles
3. Amazines
4. Article Alley
5. Article Blast
6. Isnare
7. The Free Library

Step 3 – Backlinks From Blogs
In this step you'll be building blogs and linking them to
your money site or primary blog site.

This step is a little different from the last step. You're
still going to be spinning content. But, there's a twist.
You're gonna add, or embed, a YouTube video in your
web 2.0 pages and blog posts for faster indexing.



So, you're still going to need spun content to post to
these blog 2.0 sites. You can have gotten this from your
primary blog, or, you could combine a couple of articles
from EzineArticles and spin them together to make one
new, unique article.

Disclaimer: DO NOT PLAGARIZE OTHERS' WORK.

So, the plan for this step is to:

1. Sign up for accounts at the web properties listed
(use a variation of your dedicated email
username and password to make it easy).

2. Optimize that blog by deleting any default
attributes that don't have anything to do with
your niche. For instance, on WordPress.com
blogs there is a default 1st post, comment, and
“about” page. Get rid of everything like this. You
can definitely add your own “about” page if you
want to, however.

3. Search for a YouTube video by using your niche
keyword and choose to embed the first video on
the results page.

4. After you have embedded the video, add your
blog post/article with a deep anchor text link
back to your primary site.



5. Publish the post and copy and past the RSS
feed, domain, and URL into your notepad file
that you made in step 1 and save.

Don't get caught up in stylizing the blog or squidoo
lense too much. You may want to add a short “about
me” bio. While you don't want the sites to reek of spam,
remember, you aren't trying to get these sites to rank
for anything. Just get the backlink.

Blogs and Web 2.0 Sites to sign up for:

1. Wordpress.com

2. Blogger

3. LiveJournal

4. Posterous

5. Tumblr

Remember, you're copying and pasting the RSS feed,
domain (subdomain), and URL of the post into your
notepad file.

Step 4 – Social Bookmarking
So, now you have your content on the web. It's time
that you gave it some “social proof” with bookmarking.



There are tons of social bookmarking sites that are out
there. But, for this guide, we're only going to use a few.
And, there are a few good paid automatic bookmark
submitters like bookmarking demon, but you don't have
to use these if you don't want or can't afford it.
There are a couple of ways that I suggest getting
backlinks using social bookmarking. One way is
manually and the other is automatically.
For the manual way I am going to suggest a few options.
They are all basically the same with only minor
differences.
You could use Social Marking, Social Poster, or, Social
Marker. Each of these services requires you to manually
bookmark your URLs on your own account.
One cool thing about Social Marking is that you can drag
a little bookmarklet to your tool bar. Then open up your
backlink page and bookmark it by hitting this little
bookmarklet button.
In addition, if you happen to come across a page or URL
that is not directly a part of your backlink system you
can still bookmark it the same way.
So, you can do it the manual way but you don't have to.
You can use a service like SocialAdr to get others to
bookmark your pages for you. As of this writing, there



are free and paid options for SocialAdr and they have
made it brain dead simple to use.
SocialAdr works on the principle of “reciprocity”. If you
submit other member's bookmarks to your accounts,
you'll generate credits to your account. For each credit,
you get a backlink.
And still, there's even another tool called IMAutomator
that has a free option for their automatic bookmark
submitter.
Why not use both of their free versions to get your URLs
automatically submitted to bookmarking sites to get
more backlinks.
With each of these there is a minimal amount of manual
data input. But they do make it pretty simple to do.
Once your URL data and descriptions are put in, just hit
submit and the service takes care of the rest.
With SocialAdr, you'll want to go back to the site
frequently to generate more credits. The more credits
you have, the more backlinks you're going to get.
As you can with your manual submissions, copy and
past the URLs and the RSS feeds to your notepad file.
Social Bookmarking Sites:
1. Digg
2. StumbleUpon



3. Reddit
4. Bibsonomy
5. Diigo
6. Jumptags
7. Blinklist
If you think that you might be using SocialAdr, it may be
a good idea to set up that account first. This is because
they are connected to several bookmarking sites. If you
are going to be signing up for accounts it'll save you
time by doing it for SocialAdr.
Remember to get your URLs and RSS feeds from these
bookmark sites as you're able and paste them into the
notepad file.

Step 5 – Mass Article Submissions
In this step I am going to show you how you can get a
ton of backlinks back to your direct layer of backlinks.
You are going to be using another free tool located over
at Free Traffic System. They have both free and paid
services. But, again, why not just use the free option to
get your backlink system up and running?



The Free Traffic System is a user generated network of
blogs that lets you post articles on different blogs.
You get two backlinks per article you post and that one
article is distributed to up to 30 different blogs. Also,
you can post as many articles as you want.
Now, step back and let this sink in a little...
2 backlinks x 30 blogs x unlimited articles = how many
backlinks?
There are a few things to know before using the Free
Traffic System.

1. 1) Since the network is “user generated”, you
have to “donate” a blog to the system so others
can post to it. I just took a domain that I wasn't
using and installed wordpress on it. I didn't
optimize it or anything.
2) The Free Traffic System uses a “spintax”
different from most article spinners. It's easy
enough to learn, but you need to know this if
you're adding “pre-spun” articles to it. Luckily I
use The Best Spinner which exports spun
articles in several different “spintax” structures.
3) The Free Traffic System does have some kind of
“duplicate content” filter running. I have tried to



upload PLR content and it has told me that “this
article already exists” or something like that. If
that happens just change some of the text or
paragraph structure and try it again.
The way that I use Free Traffic System is to take one of
my articles and spin it using The Best Spinner and export
in the proper “spintax”. I don't add backlinks to my
money site. Instead, I add backlinks to my articles and
blog posts using the appropriate anchor text.
Since I get 2 anchor text backlinks in each article, I add a
backlink to one of my articles and then another to one
of my blog posts. This way I get all of my direct links
convered.
One drawback about the Free Traffic System is that they
don't provide you with the URL of where your article
was posted. So, you can't bookmark it or get backlinks
from the URL. Hopefully this will change.
Go see how cool Free Traffic System is right here.

Step 6 – How To Blast Your Backlinks
In this step you will blast your backlinks out onto the
web. This is going to get your links indexed and also help
build even more backlinks to your primary site.



You're going to be using another absolutely free tool
located at Bulkping.com. Can I say it again? This is a
crazy and incredible free service.

There are several things that Bulkping does. You can
'ping' the web servers and let them know that you have
new content published.

You can take the RSS feeds from your websites and
submit them to multiple RSS directories at the same
time.

You can also use the Index Tool to get your main site and
blog sites indexed quicker and build more backlinks to
them at the same time.

There are a couple of other things that you can Do with
Bulkping. But this is all we need to do right now to get
your backlinks indexed.

This is why you've been copying and pasting your URLs
and stuff into your notepad file.

So, here's the plan to this step:

1. Copy all of your URLs into Bulkping's “mass
ping” page. Yep. The URL of each page of your
main site, each article, each web 2.0 page and
blog page, follow the directions and hit 'submit'.



2. One at a time, copy and paste each RSS feed
into Bulkping's Rss submitter and follow the
directions. You'll need your dedicated email
again. And hit “submit”.

3. Go to Bulkping's fast index tool and enter your
main domain and then the subdomains of each
blog (not the post URL or article URL). Then hit
submit.

Step 7 – Rinse It Out And Repeat!!
This is the basics of any backlinking system. Each time
you publish a blog post just follow these steps.
1. Have a way of tracking your work and progress
2. Post keyword optimized content to your blog
3. Spin your content to unique articles
4. Submit to other article directories and blog 2.0
sites
5. Ping your RSS Feeds, URLs, and Index your
subdomains
Sure, there are bookmarking, forum profiles and blog
commenting. But, the bulk of your backlinking is going
to come from producing lotsa content that others will
link to.



Posting articles on article directories will always give you
the opportunity to get your backlinks to the most
people in the quickest way.

Writing articles and posting on blog 2.0 sites is the best
way that you can control which articles and blog posts
are actually getting links to them.



Conclusion
This is the basics of any backlinking system. All you're
doing is making web content point back to your main
money page. There is no mystery at all.
Getting this system in place is not difficult either. In fact,
it's probably a lot easier than what you've been doing so
far.

The only difficult thing for most people is actually
getting their backlinks indexed and counted by Google.
But, I've shown you a couple of sure fire ways to get
your backlinks indexed. And so, that solves that
problem.
The only thing left for you to do right now is get started.
