Link Building with iList

* This method has been reported that the owner of the website has added a nofollow tag to all the links so this may not benefit you in the search engines unless the owner switches it back *

Sorry for the delay in posts everyone, I am finally getting back on a schedule at College. With that being said, A reader of my blog named Azzam from Wowjoomla sent me an email with this link building tip.

iList.com is a free classified ads website much like the more popular Craigslist or Gumtree. iList has a more “web2.0″ feel with their fancy buttons and simple publishing menu’s, and it kind of reminds me of Squidoo’s interface. Unlike iList’s more popular competitors, iList provides dofollow anchor text links in their classified ads. You can easily visit iList.com and create your account in seconds, and then make a classifieds listing with a link back to your site. You would then want to submit your classifieds page to the SocialMarker sites to help Google find the page quickly.

At the end of the day, it is a pretty low quality link that might take Google a long time to find it, but it takes under 5 minutes to get and every link helps on a long term link building campaign.

For your convenience, here is an example page I created:

Thanks again Azzam, and if anyone else has any link building strategies to submit, you will get credit for it as well as a permanent backlink to your website/blog.

    5. Thanks for sharing again, Collin.

    I notice that iList.com doesn’t have big PR but I must agree with you that every link counts. iList is first registered in 1996 meaning it has good trust over domain age.

    7. This is not a complaint but merely an observation – why is a blog devoted almost entirely to link building, do follow and so forth, in itself no follow?

    20. Did the iList, hope the search engines give me some credit before the post expires (30 days). It also has a auto submit for Craiglist, any advice for utilizing Craigslist?

    21. looks like they’ve switched everything over to nofollow. Doh!
