Link Building Tactics 2009

I want to talk about one very interesting link building tactic. It is a funneling tactic as I call it. This is where you funnel link juice from a site with very high page rank to a page you control. It can be just general link juice and not anchored link juice.

All do follow links pass page rank. But it is the words in your anchored links that you will rank for. So getting high page rank anchored links will help your site rank for those words or keywords. That’s anchored link juice. General link juice (yeah, I made these terms up:) is when you leave a non keyword anchor such as a name. You still funnel the pagerank juice but it just stays stored up in your blog. It doesn’t help you rank.

This link building tactics that I’m going to share with you is a technique which funnels general link juice.

First find a high page rank site that allows you to join up and have a profile. This profile page needs to allow you to leave a link in your “About Me” section. We are going to funnel link juice from the homepage of this big authority site to your humble little profile page. Then we are going to link the profile page to one of your white hat blogs.  We are then going to find another authority site to join and repeat until your white hat blog is nice, fat and full of page rank.

So where are these high pr sites? These are the so called web2.0 sites. Sites that allow a community to exist and vote or comment on stories featured on the homepage.  TV.com is one such place.

There are some things to look for. You have to make absolutely sure that somehow the homepage of this site links to your profile page! That is a must.  Luckily most of these kind of sites have a link on the homepage to recent news stories. Then the news stories allow comments. The comments link to your profile. Everything has to be dofollow. There is an option in seoquake that will put a line through any link that is nofollow. Very handy.

The idea is that sometimes one of these news stories will have a very high pagerank, like a pr7. Just one link from a page like that will turn your profiel page into a pr5 or pr6. That’s what I’m talking about. You funnel the juice from the homepage! Then you funnel it to your white hat blog and finally to your money page.

This is a great link building tactic! Now for a tip as I always like to emphasize things that aren’t talked about on other blogs. You can immediately leverage this great link building tactic and have it work for you right away. Most people don’t realize that you don’t need to wait for a page rank update to leverage your linking efforts! The pagerank update is only an update on your tool bar. In reality google is constantly updating your pagerank. It just doesn’t show in the tool bar.

So what this means is you can create a profile, comment on some very high pr pages and almost immediately your money page will begin to rank.  No need to wait to see if your profile page really is going to be a high pr page. If you get the links as I outlined about you’ll get the pagerank. I’ve done this over and over again and it always works.

You would be surprized how quickly you can build say 5 profile pages like this. That’s a lot of juice.
