Link Building with CoRank

Filed under: Link Building 

While browsing around the web doing competitor research on different industries, I found an untapped link building and indexing platform that has gone relatively under the radar. The site is called CoRank and has a similar feel to social bookmarking sites like Delicious.com. The purpose of the site is to allow anyone to make their own website (subdomain.corank.com) and be able to create bookmarks/favorites/links and then vote on them (think Digg.com).

Finding sites using CoRank:
Option 1) The Google Query:
site:corank.com/about.html “powered by corank”
Option 2) Visiting CoRank.com and clicking on sites that appear in the left hand side (new submissions).

The first option will help you find every website that CoRank owns that Google knows about, but a few will be false positives that do not allow you to submit your links after you register and confirm your email. The second option will have a near 100% approved-submissions ratio, but the list is much smaller and will require more than one visit to the site.

Before any of you get extremely excited and think you should start mass-dropping your link, know that the site has some potential good uses and some things to avoid. First, know that it is super easy to create an account, and thus some pages are already spammed with links and it surely will continue in the future until the software is updated. The second problem with this site is that all of the sites are hosted on a subdomain of one URL (Same class-c IP address).

So why would I even bother making this post? Well, a lot of my readers are avid article writers using sites like GoArticles (previously mentioned on this blog), or utilizing profile/social bookmarking backlinks. Creating your own CoRank website or commenting on other relevant ones linking to your articles can get them indexed quickly which can promote your website in a snowball effect.
