Link Building with eBooks
While browsing the web today I came across a website that had a ton of free eBooks available for download that were submitted by users. This page also had a dofollow link to the author of the eBook’s personal blog. This got me thinking that anyone could make a simple text-filled eBook with simple information about the niche that they are in, and then publish the eBook to many free ebook directories with the hopes of free traffic and links. I have not done this myself yet as the creation of the eBook may be a little bit time consuming, but it has been awhile since I have come up with any advanced link building strategies and thought I would share this one.
Link Building with PBWiki
PBWiki is a free website that allows you to create your own wiki about anything you want. It is like being able to create your own niche clone of wikipedia. You control all of the content on the pages, and you can build in-content links. I originally found this method of link building when my twitter marketing page had an anchor text backlink from a PR5 page.
If you are smart, you could make blog posts around related PBWiki niches that have high pagerank, and include a deep link to the page/blog post you wrote about, much like how my twitter blog post is linked from a high pagerank twitter pbwiki.
Link Building with Expired Domains
A very powerful link building technique that few people talk about is buying existing websites/domains and then redirecting them to your own website. There is a thing called a “301 redirect” which tells the search engines that your website has moved domains permanently, and it forwards all of your ranking and backlinks to the new domain. A perfect example of this is the 301 redirect I setup to send mixedmarketarts.com to CollinLaHay.com.
All of my rankings will eventually transfer over to the new domain, and mixedmarketarts.com will rank no more.
Link Building with eBay
The mammoth shopping site eBay.com needs no introduction. Being one of the top 20 most popular websites of all time, millions of dollars worth of auctions go through it every year. Today’s post is not about how you can earn a part of that money through software like BANS, which I will leave for another day, but rather how you can utilize this massive authority site to bring your measly little website more search engine traffic.
Sure, you could create an ebay auction trying to sell something, and secretly put a link to your website in the thread, but a few months after the auction ends, when your thread finally receives some decent pagerank, the thread would expire.
Link Building Bible
The news just broke…. Link Building Bible is no more.
R.J. Adams, the blogger over at the Link Building Bible, has just sold his blog. The Link Building Bible was one of the few other do-it-yourself niche blogs, so it is a shame to see him go.
The new owner who has acquired his blog is going to be transferring R.J.’s posts over to her blog and redirecting it, so the link building bible brand is officially over.
