Everybody wants more free traffic from the search engines - and the easiest way to achieve it is to increase link popularity. That may sound easy enough, but in practise things are not always that simple. Well, “simple” is back if you follow the exact same technique I use to increase my sites link popularity and explode my free traffic. So dominating the first page of the search engines is now within your reach.
The major search engines of Google, MSN and Yahoo all use link popularity as a major indicator of how popular a website is, and therefore how high it should rank for a given search term. But they are also very well aware of all the automated link management tools and the sites where you can text links, and consequently, if you’re using these techniques, it’s very likely that nay links gained this way will be discounted and ignored - rendering them completely useless and ineffective.
But gaining hundreds or even thousands of quality and “search engine friendly” incoming links to your site is not hard if you know how to go about it. The trick is to make it look “natural” to the search engines - let me explain how to do it the easy way.
In a series of 4 articles, this being part 1, I’m going to explain the exact approach and techniques I use to gain an ever increasing number of natural links to my site, with virtually no effort at all, and with no outsourcing costs involved.
These 4 link popularity or link building techniques can be described as:
Using articles to increase your link popularity. Getting backlinks from high PR directories. Automation tips for natural link growth. Building backlinks with blogs.
In the first part of this series I want to cover the easiest technique which you can start to use today. This involves using articles for linking, but will also generate some fast traffic from the hordes of article directories we’re going to have access to. But don’t flake out thinking you’re heard all about article marketing before - this is a very new, unique and highly effective twist on a proven method.
Part 1 of my approach involves submitting a unique article to each of the major article directories (listed below) with each article having a link back to my sites home as well as a relevant internal page. The second and really powerful part is I use a new semi-automated system that automatically submits my articles to an ever increasing list of high PR article directories - the currently stands at over 600 separate directory sites, and each one gets a totally unique version of my article.
So, my first technique is to submit unique articles to each of the following directories. Most of these sites will accept a non-unique article, but you will gain a lot stronger link from these sites if you can submit a unique article to each one. The sites I use are:
Helium.com BigArticles.com PheedCentral.com EzineArticles.com ArticlesFactory.com SearchWarp.com GoArticles.com
That’s a total of 7 unique articles so far, and all these sites are seen as “authority” sites in the eyes of Google - which means they’ll provide a high value backlink to your site.
OK - so we now have 7 permanent high PR incoming links to your site. My second technique is going to explode this to over 600 incoming links, and will be even easier than the first technique. This approach involves the use of a new semi automated system called Unique Article Wizard.
UAW is unique in 2 ways - 1 is that it’s the only application out there than do this, and 2 is well, I’ll come #2 in a minute Unique Article Wizard will submit a unique version of your article to each of over 600 different article directories, all of which are indexed and ranked by Google (and MSN and Yahoo). That means you’ll get over 600 additional backlinks to your site with one simple action, and if your site is brand new, it will get indexed by the search engines in lightening speed - sometimes in a matter of hours.
However, the really neat thing about UAW is that it will create a totally unique version of your article before it submits it - so every one of those 700 directories will get a totally unique article.
This in itself is a huge benefit since the top 3 search engines started filtering out duplicate content on the web. This basically means that if you submit the same article to 10, 20 or even hundreds of sites, the search engines will ignore all but the first version of your article it finds - so instead of having hundreds of backlinks from those article sites, you’d be left with just 1. Not so with this software - every link counts.
