This is the fifth post in The Link Building Cookbook series of finding the best places to add links to your websites or blogs to help increase website traffic.

Guestbooks are the “old school” form of comments that you now see on all of the big websites and blogs. Guestbooks allowed you to place your name, email or website, and a brief comment on a big page of other comments. Although the majority has updated to using comments on their website, you can still find a lot of places to add your links on through guestbooks. Best of all, a lot of the old universities still have active guestbooks that you can get links from. Here are a few examples:

These are just a few examples of what you can find. If you are looking for more, I recommend utilizing a few google queries like I talked about previously.

    3. Nice compilation. I’ll try to use it some time. But if such sites are exploited by morons selling viagra and penis enlargement pills, it would be really sad. I think .edu links are perhaps the most sought-after ones these days. Keep ‘em coming. :)

    4. I just checked the LSA @ CU Boulder http://lsa.colorado.edu/ but found their guestbook empty. Is it something wrong?

    5. Looks like LSA disabled their guestbook, most likely from a blog post like this! Oh well, for every one that gets taken down, two new ones appear.

    7. you wont see me putting my link on these sites, they are nothing more then link farms now in the eyes of google and it will hurt your site. I advise you take this list down or it will end up hurting people that have already added their links.

    8. You are entitled to your opinion, but a few of these links still pass a LOT of authority, so I would not agree entirely. It is however, always smart to pick and choose the ones you submit to.

    9. Thanks … i ‘ve just completed adding my websites in all the guestbooks but dont u thinks the “Nofollow” in the last link “http://sea.unu.edu/wiki/index.php/MediaWiki_talk:Yourname”, …. it is better not to place my link as its a NoFollow and google only caches Dofollow??

  9. Collin LaHay on Fri, 18th Jan 2008 11:14 am

    10. Nofollow means google will not visit it, correct. Nofollow links will still raise your rankings in many other search engines though.
