Link Building with About.me

The website I am going to tell you about today is fairly simple to understand, but as of right now not a lot of people are using it. I feel that we can help them build up their network!

The site is: http://www.About.me, and it is a site that you create your own page on describing yourself, much like IKarma.com or LookupPage. You are then allowed to pick your own URL (about.me/YOURNAME), and set up your own content on it. The site offers you the use of HTML, so it didn’t take me long to realize you can use the site to build an anchor text backlink or two.

The registration is very easy, you just fill out the few boxes that are on the homepage of the site, and it brings you straight into the page creation system. From there, you can either fill it all out in one go (your biography allows HTML), or just hit skip and then it will bring you to the editor so you can see what your page looks like in real-time.

Either way, it should be simple enough for you to figure out how to build links once you are in. From there, use your favorite pinging software (pingomatic.com), and build a few links with laconica or your other preferred quick-link sites and your page should be indexed quickly.
