Building Quality Backlinks: Workflow Overview

Even before I got into internet marketing, I knew backlinks were important to achieve page rank. There are some dodgy ways to buy backlinks, but I've never tried this and from what I've heard about this strategy either backfiring or not working at all, I've been hesitant to try it.

I just finished reading a good article from Smart Passive Income  which outlines a strategy for building backlinks. I'm going to quickly go over it here. Essentially, the idea is to write articles that point to intermediary sites which then point to your flagship site.

Build Your Destination Site

It's assumed you already have a site you want to direct traffic to, so let's move on.

Build Your Web 2.0 Sites

You do not want to point your links to your final destination site. The reason being that building hundreds of backlinks overnight can flag the Google algorithm that something dodgy is going on. For this reason, you want to point them to your Wordpress blog, or your Blogger page, or some intermediary site that will take the heat instead of your flagship site.

A web 2.0 site is just a site that is interactive on some level.  All blogs can receive comments, and so that makes it a web 2.0 site as opposed to a static page that is read only. Facebook is also a web 2.0 site. This is just one form of site you can build. You can and should also build static sites as well.

In my situation, I want people to go to a specific page on my flagship site to buy a specific plugin for lighting scenes inside a 3D software package.  Yesterday, I built a Google page for this plugin. This is the perfect page to send my backlinks to.  Realistic Cinema 4D Lighting.  Here's another example: Cinema 4D Lighting

Write Your Links Correctly

Do NOT write your links like this:  http://c4d3dmodels.com.
DO write your links with proper focus keywords in your anchor text: Cinema 4D 3D Models and Resources

Write a Unique Article

Write something with real content your target audience would like to know about. Make it original and something you can be proud to attach your name to. Your article should be between 350 and 600 words.

Spin Your Article

Make similar versions of your article so Google doesn't flag you for spamming the net with duplicate content. Use software to do this. The Best Spinner  is a highly recommended tool but only works on a PC. If you're a Mac guy, you'll need to use Boot Camp or your spouse's computer.

Upload Your Articles

Upload your articles with links pointing to your secondary blogs and sites.  Those will then point to your primary site.

• GoArticles
• Amazines
• ArticleBlast
• ArticleAlley

Create More Blogs that Point Directly to Your Site

Use the article you've made and post unique versions on free blogs which point directly to your site.

Thanks to Smart Passive Income for the strategy.
