Link Building Tutorial | Funneling Juice

I’m going to give a brief link building tutorial in this post. This is not compreshensive but rather just a brief tutorial around blog commenting and funneling link juice. I want to focus on some of the things I don’t read about often on other blogs. Why repeat the same old stuff right? Well I guess I’ll have to do a little of that for those of you who may not have much experience with seo.

It’s all about getting anchored links. That’s the first thing you should learn in my opinion. Once you realize that you can consistently rank sites and pages by building links to them, you’ll want to really know more about it! But don’t take my word for it, do some research yourself. Analyze a couple hundred top ranking pages across a few dozen niches and you’ll see that the link profiles are always well built.

That is to say that the links are anchored correctly. You must have the keyword yuo want to rank for as the anchored text.  How many anchored links do you need to rank for a particular keyword? To find out just look at the top ranking site and see how many of his links feature that particular keyword.

So you need to make sure your links are anchored. Now that we have that out of the way you have to wonder where the best places to get links are.   What is a great link? That is a question worth answering.

A great link is an anchored link that comes from a high page rank page, is a dofollow link, comes from a page where the title, content and the overall site is very relevant to yours. This excellent link should come from within the body of the content and not on the sidebar or footer or anywhere else. Right in the content. That is a great link!

Where do you get that kind of link? That’s the question! One answer is you can buy it. People buy links all the time and it works like crazy, but it costs money. Go for it if you have the cash but don’t rely on this method of link building alone.

One way to get a link like this is to create your own network of high page rank sites. Start 20 blogs or so and get links to them all.  Try to get some high pagerank links from other blogs.  That’s easy actually. Just make sure your 20 ‘network’ blogs are totally real and not spammy. Put real content on them and link to them only with your name. Bloggers are much more likely to approve one of your comments if you only leave your name instead of a keyword.

See the difference? If you try to weasel a high page rank anchored link from a blog he’s gonna think you’re a spammer and not approve your link. But if you leave your name and a good comment your link gets approved. This will not help your blog rank for anything (but your name) but it will send “JUICE” to that blog. The “JUICE” is the stuff pagerank is made of and consequently you’ll soon find yourself with a pr4 or pr5 blog.

All you need is a few pr6 and pr5 dofollow links and that’s it. It’s not too hard to find those especially if you just anchor your name and leave a great comment. The result of all this is at the end of the day you’ll have a network of high pr white hat sites at your disposal. Very valuable indeed!

You should understand that a link from a pr5 blog where the link is in the body of the content, is much better than a comment link from the same pr5 blog. It’s much more powerful. I would even say that a pr3 link from a relevant site with relevant content is better than a pr5 comment link.

Think about ways to funnel juice. That’s what it really is. Finding ways of funneling page rank juice to a site you control.  I make this point because most peole will go on a blog comment hunt, looking for high pr pages to comment on, and try to leave anchored links. It is a waste of juice because your links will get deleted. Try leaving “Buy Cheap Ankle Boots” as your name when you try to get a comment on a pr6 page!

Yet that’s what most people do. Instead you should just accept that you wont be able to directly link that site to your money page. Link it instead to your white hat farm blog. Then later you can link out to your money page from that blog with a much better link because it will come from the body of the content. See? Good.
