Digital Products Review

My first exposure to backlink’s to was through the first ebook I purchased through Clickbank. I have purchased somewhere between ten and twenty ebooks since I started this whole business. Some taught me a lot. Some didn’t. This one did. Some had only a valuable paragraph or two, but each paragraph increased the income I already had. These books I purchased out of curiosity and still benefited. Once you get the concept, new techniques can be used more effectively and books that seem worthless to a newbie hold nuggets of gold for someone who has been around the affiliate marketing block a few times.

The book I am speaking of is Power Linking by Jack Humphrey who now has a book called Social Power Linking. But he also has a free one called the Authority Blackbook, but I digress. Power Linking is an awesome book if a little outdated. One of the type’s of sites just showing on the internet scene were search engine services. These sites would create private search engines for your site, but host them on their domain.

Some of these search engine providers had built quite a ranking with Google. By linking to the results of your queries and the sitemaps of your sites on these sites, you could instantly notify Google of this mass of backlinks to your site.

I stopped using the method mainly because of other options. But I guess the method is just as valid as any. I was running a search for authority sites the other day and found that the tactic is still alive and well and is used my many high traffic sites.

Why do I call it a tactic? Because Google won’t find these links naturally. Someone had to link to the pages. And I figure, if the big guys do it, why not?

I was using SEO Elite. One of the most useful functions is finding authority sites. You type in a keyword. It finds high ranking sites and then analyzes the sites that link to those high ranking sites. It’s amazing. You discover sometimes like 20% of the high ranking sites with a link from the same authority site. And this is how I discovered that the query tactic was still alive and well. And it counted. I had just seen the results.

The Authority Link Via Query Tactic

In fact, for off-site SEO, SEO Elite is probably the only tool you need. By using it, you discover the linking tactics that won’t be written about in blogs and on forums for months, before everyone else does.

The key to this tactic is linking to high ranking domains that somehow reference your site, but do not have a directory of any type. With a directory, the search engines would naturally find the link. But since the only way to find the reference to your site is through a search, you must search first and then link to the results page.

I discovered a post the describes a way of getting seven of these links. This generator builds the links for you. Mine I pasted below:

• URL Trends
• Whois.net
• Domain Tools
• About Us Wiki
• Quick Whois
• iWebTools
• Dawjee.com

To tell you the truth I am not sure how valuable these links are. I just know they appeared for other sites and any links can’t hurt you, they can only be devalued to the point they have no effect. So for the time spent, not an issue.

Black Hat

But since having like sites link yours counts more than any random site, it is good to have a tool like SEO Elite. I did research for one site and found out that the EPA web site has a 404 referrer page. The page is just a list of the last referrers that received a 404 error. It is not a .com, not a .edu, but a .gov.  And it really depends on how black hat you want to be, if you use this type of information or not.

Staying in Your Niche

But not all this information from SEO Elite is just fodder for black hat SEO’s. Some of it just good information to have. It cuts out the B.S. of which links are more valuable. Yes, having 10,000 links to your site is great. But wouldn’t it be better to start with the 100 links that pack 50% of the linking power of the whole list combined.

The same search turned up a lot of forums, blogs and niche directories that I never would have run into if I had followed just a generic linking campaign, the one size fits all of submitting to directories, article marketing, and other methods that can be applied to any site.

Any way you attain an edge is the way to go. While others are using link building tactics that they learned in a two year old ebook or from a blog post, tools like SEO Elite give you access to real time tactics. The link magic that the ebooks and blog posts are written about, before everyone knows.
