Outsourcing, Automation & Link Building – Sitey.net

In my previous article, Free Unique Content From MyBlog Guest, I mentioned how you could use the MyBlogGuest network to get free good quality content for your website. Obviously that content has to come from somewhere – and thats where the other side of MyBlogGuest comes in.

For $20 per month, you can get a pro account on MyBlogGuest. This gives you various benefits over a free account, the biggest being that you can publish your articles in the Gallery for others to publish.

Each article needs to be unique, and good enough quality to attract the good quality sites, so if you are looking for another place to submit spun articles – this isn’t it! This is what I class as “high quality link building”. You spend a little bit of time writing a good piece of writing, its then published on a high quality and relevent site. You can then use this as a buffer page to create a high quality, high page rank, relevent link.

Its easy to submit your articles to the Gallery. Just paste your title, article, tags and author bio in, then upload any images that you have and you are done. The article will appear in the gallery immediately, however moderators do check through the articles, so if your article doesn’t meet their criteria it will be hidden until you sort the problem out. Once the article is live in the gallery you will start to receive offers. Depending on the niche of the article, from my experience, this will vary from 2-5 offers per day.

An example of the offers received on a technology article I submitted within 2 days are:

• Offer 1: PR5, General Blog, 200k Alexa Rank
• Offer2: PR3, Tech Blog, 33,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 3:PR3, Tech Blog, 122,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 4:PR3, Tech Blog, 872,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 5:PR3, Tech Blog, 2,845,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 6:PR3, Tech Blog, 3,344,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 7:PR2, Tech Blog, 954,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 8:PR2, General Blog, 245,000 Alexa Rank
• Offer 9:PR1, Tech Blog, 2,154,000 Alexa Rank

Obviously thats not the order I received them in, its sorted by PR, relevence and then Alexa Rank. I accepted offer 2, which means my article is currently on a PR3, relevent site with an Alexa rank of 33,000 – it’s still linked to off the homepage at the minute! Not only is it a really good link, but its passing relevent traffic direct from that article to my site.

From the 11 articles I have published so far, the sites the articles have been published on are:

• Article 1: PR5, General Blog, 113,000 Alexa rank
• Article 2: PR3, Niche Blog, 290,000 Alexa rank
• Article 3: PR2, Niche Blog, 1,524,000 Alexa rank
• Article 4: PR3, General Blog, 80,000 Alexa rank
• Article 5: PR3, Niche Blog, 33,000 Alexa rank – this is the one mentioned above
• Article 6: PR3, Niche Blog, 2,209,000 Alexa rank
• Article 7: PR2, Niche Blog, 4,170,000 Alexa rank
• Article 8: PR4, Niche Blog, 428,000 Alexa rank
• Article 9: PR5, General Blog, 113,000 Alexa rank – Same site as article 1
• Article 10: PR3 General Blog, 78,000 Alexa rank
• Article 11: PR1 Niche Blog, 953,000 Alexa rank

As you can see, there are quite a few high Alexa ranking sites on there which should bring in a fair bit of traffic. The general blogs are all high quality sites, with all the articles published in relevent categories. These are real sites, that people subscribe to and read – not the typical splogs from networks like Linkamotion.

Most of the sites do not advertise the fact that they do guest posts, and 2 of the 11 sites I have published on actually charge you to post guest posts on there if you contact them directly (the first wanted $50 per post, the second wanted $100 per post) – but they will take your articles from MyBlogGuest for FREE!

If you are looking to add some quality link building into you link building efforts, I cant recommend MyBlogGuest enough! One of my sites was sitting at number 5 for a fairly competitive term, after publishing one of the articles (Article 2 in the list above), the site jumped to number 3, a couple of days later it went to number 2, then finally number 1. It sat at number 1 for 3 days before dropping back to number 2 where it has been for over a week now. No other linkbuilding has been done on that site during that time! I built some links into the article using Article Marketing Robot and SocialAdr during this time which may have helped though.

One of the staples of any link building campaign is directory submissions. The biggest problem is that they take so long to do. Each submission can easily take a couple of minutes. When you are submitting each site to thousands of different directories, this not only gets very time consuming, but very boring!

Fortunately there are programs to help with directory submission automation. Sliq Submitter is by far the best I have used for many reasons and is also one of the cheapest. You can order Sliq Submitter here. Continue reading…

UPDATE – WHILE THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY 1,000 LINKS PER DAY, ITS NOW JUST A ONE OFF BLAST OF 1,000. STILL GOOD FOR A FREEBIE.

I had previously used 247Backlinks a few months back and not been very impressed with their results. However 247 Backlinks have now changed their entire interface, given you more options and it actually seems to work now! Continue reading…

In the previous Authority Link Network review post I mentioned that I would post a case study about the effects of Authority Link Network. While its still too early to get a feel for any improvement in the SERPS, I do have a decent size sample of the page ranks of the sites that the articles appear on. Continue reading…

What is Authority Link Network

Authority Link Network is a blog network similar to Linkamotion, Build My Rank and Article Ranks with a couple of important differences. Continue reading…

One thing that you will soon realise if you are serious about any sort of online marketing, whether that be affiliate marketing, AdSense or marketing your own eCommerce site, is that you need written content…and lots of it!

Not only do you need lots of content, but it needs to be as unique as possible. This is not an issue when you are writing 1 article for your website, however when you need hundreds of articles per day it becomes a little more difficult!

When you are trying building a mini net you are going to need to buy lots of domain names. We have already covered how to quickly analyse domain backlinks, but once you have chosen the domains you want, you obviously need to buy them. After spending a while looking around for cheap domain names and adding the cost of WhoIs Privacy to them I have found the cheapest way of getting the domains. There is a little extra work involved rather than just registering all the domains at your usual registrant, but when you are ordering lots of domains it could be worth it. Continue reading…

In a previous post I mentioned how to quickly analyse a domains backlinks. I have been looking to outsource the finding of these domains to someone else, however have not had much luck. Its not because its difficult or anythings, its just because you do need to use your brain a little bit.

I gave the instructions to a few of the most suitable applicants to “find an expired domain containing the word “light” which has more than 100 backlinks coming from more than 20 backlinks”. I also specified that the links should be high quality links and not blog comments, profile links or directories.

From the 3 applicants I emailed last week, one has replied, the other 2 have disappeared. The domain he has sent me is “TCLighting . net”. On first impressions it has the word “Light” in the description and has 450 backlinks – GREAT! The links come from a wide range of sites – even better! I never had any intention of buying this domain as the term “light” was just a test term I had asked them to look for, however I decided to check the domain a little further.

Most of the backlinks are blog comments, not so great, but not the end of the world. I opened a few of them up and noticed that the anchors where using terms relating to pills (you know, the ones beginning with V and C). Hmm, something seems strange there. So then I loaded the domain into Archive.org and had a look. The latest version shows a site selling the above pills – maybe the site was hacked. Nope, from the 3 years worth of data Archive.org has the site has always been selling those pills! Obviously links from a site like this arent going to do your site any good.

It just goes to show that even though on the surface it looks good, until you delve into its history properly.

In the previous post I explained about buying domains with backlinks and how to check that the domain has a strong backlink profile. While I will always check the links on any domain I am looking to buy manually, this post will highlight a few quick and easy checks that you can do that will give you a rough idea of whether or not the domain is worth buying.

I’ve had a couple of people email me after the last few posts and ask why you should build your own mini-net.Obviously they knew that the reason for building the mini-nets was to build backlinks to their websites, the problem was that they saw them as being expensive and hardwork when networks such as Linkamotion exist. So…why should you build your own mini-net? Continue reading…

While checking through the stats I noticed one of my sites had taken a big drop in its rankings for one of its main keywords. I had a look at the rankings and noticed that it had been pushed down from 2nd where it had been sitting for a few months to number 3, which put it halfway down the page due to all the Google “extra” results such as shopping. The reason for the drop was that the site above me had another page which had made its way onto the front page and instantly jumped up to number 2 to be grouped with the other page. Continue reading…

In the previous post about building a mini-net I mentioned that one of the options for buying domains for your mini-net is to buy dropped domains with existing backlinks. This post will give you some more tips to help you find the best domains for your mini-net.
