Your New Link Building Campaign for Free High Quality Backlinks
81If you're looking for free, high quality backlinks then you need to use this link building campaign.
I'll show you why you shouldn't pay for links, where you can get free backlinks and how high of quality backlinks from these sites will be.
By the end of this article you will have a killer link building campaign that will boost the value of your website.
DO NOT Pay for Backlinks!
Paying for a simple link, or a bundle of them, isn't quite like advertising for a few reason. When you got to a site that specializes in backlinks, Google is going to know that some of your links are paid for. They can tell who your traffic is coming from and after a while they'll figure out if you're paying for swarms of links at once. What's this mean for you? Well, you might end up dropping from the search engine rankings.
Search engines like Google want to see a natural build up of links. So if you're paying for people to post 100 to 1,000 links for you at once then chances are they won't be that high of quality. One: Google won't like that you got 1,000 links today and not any other day. Two: the person may not have done that great of job with the anchor text, picking where to submit and so on. And that's if they really even did the work! And three: some of the links might be posted to places, like blog comments, and then end up being marked as spam and then are deleted.
So, the best way to go is to get FREE backlinks and to do it yourself. Don't rely on software or someone else... go about things naturally. And don't worry, I'm about to show you some great places to get links.
Your Link Building Campaign
When you create quality content it will naturally get free backlinks as people share it with others. But, if you'd like to share it with people you know and give your site a little extra juice then feel free to submit it to a few, high quality sites.
What I'm about to show you is the exact link building campaign that I'm going to use to promote this post that I'm typing right now. So let's begin.
- First, you'll want to go to Facebook and find three groups that directly relate to your page's topic. Facebook is a great place for viral traffic because almost everyone is on it. So find a few groups, post a catchy title a little summary on your page and then link to it. BUT wait at least 5 minutes before you post in another group and only post in 3 different groups. If you do it quicker than this or in more groups, Facebook will see you as a spammer.
- Then go to Twitter and post your link and then put an arrow pointing to it with a highly descriptive title.
- Then you'll want to go your own personal blog, whether it's Wordpress, Blogger and so on, and post a quick summary about your page and then link to your site.
- Then you want to go to SiteSays and submit your information so that they'll post it on their own Twitter account for you as well as on their site. They call your links "comments" on their site.
- Then go to Orkut and post your link as a note, make sure it's public, and then point to it with your title.
- And then you want to go to Blinklist, StumbleUpon, Multiply, Digg, Plurk and FriendFeed and submit your link, along with other information, to all these sites.
This campaign is quick to go through and all these sites will help your search engine rankings as well as get you a decent amount of traffic through the links. And guess what? They're FREE!
Are These Links High Quality?
I'm sure you're wondering if links from the above sites are that great of quality so let me calm your fears. It doesn't matter if they are do follow links or not; remember, Google wants to see natural linking. It's completely unnatural to have ALL your links be do follow links. So it's better to have a mix of both and I'm not even going to tell you if the links are do follow or not because it doesn't matter.
And besides, some of these links serve a different purpose... some do follow links from high PR sites will never get you one drop of traffic, but it boosts you in the search results. And on the contrast some no follow links will get you a ton of traffic but won't boost your PR or ranking in the search engines. So in a sense, the no follows help your backlinking look natural to Google as well as get you some instant traffic... and eventually the do follow links will help boost your rankings.
But what I will tell you is the sites' Page Rank (PR) because that does a bit. This is the rank that the domain is given in terms of how useful the site is. It's like a quality score and the higher the score, the better the site. And if you have tons of high PR sites linking to you then search engines will think that your site must be useful too. So that raises YOUR Page Rank. But let's take a look at their Page Ranks (these are the main domain's PR, perhaps not the PR of the page you'll get a link from)...
SITE
| PAGE RANK
|
|---|---|
Facebook
| 10
|
Twitter
| 9
|
SiteSays
| 3
|
Orkut
| 7
|
Blinklist
| 7
|
StumbleUpon
| 8
|
Multiply
| 7
|
Digg
| 8
|
Plurk
| 7
|
FriendFeed
| 8
|
Yes, I didn't include your personal blog in the rankings because that will vary greatly, obviously. But the value in posting there is that the people on the site know you, you control the content and the link you post will probably relate to the rest of your site as well.
This is a proven link building campaign for getting free, high quality backlinks for your site. So avoid paying for links, post to the sites above and rest assured that you just got a bunch of high quality links to your site. You can now start boosting your site's rankings in the search engine results.

Has this Link Building Campaign Helped YOU?Loading...
I thank you very much for great and timely hub. My clicks are going down and down. I knew I have do something but not being great with computer technology I just click on hub's share button and put in fb,myspace, digg, stumpleupon and twitter.
I am not sure about your three groups on Facebook how to do it? If you would be so kind and explain it a bit more or write a full hub about it?
You are great. Thank you so much.
informative article
Great Advise!! Everyone always said that Facebook was a great resource, except that I know that my friends aren't very good traffic, mainly because they don't really care about what I'm writing about. But commenting in the groups is a really good idea. And I don't have a twitter account, but do you think it would still be effective for me to start an account for the sole purpose of creating back-links?
Thanks for the information! You put it in simple steps! I'm definitely bookmarking this. I'll get back to you in a couple weeks to see if it worked!
Side note - how long would you say you spend on making back-links for each article? Because I can spend hours on it. Granted, I only tried commenting on forums and posting in Digg, but still.
Good stuff! Thanks
I've learned more about backlinking in two days than Ive ever learned before. Thanks for being great and contributing your knowledge
Great information. Very good tips for seeding your content and getting a jumpstart on organic linking. i've had good luck with reddit and diigo for social bookmarking of any content I make. Helps get the page crawled faster
Wow, I was not aware of that restriction...what a gyp.
Thank you, I am definitely bookmarking this one to read and study further. I am just now really getting into backlinking, to try to get my traffic up. Right now, I twitter, post to Facebook, usually put it on Stumbleupon, and sometimes Redgage. I also have started a Facebook fan page, and sometimes create links within my own blogs.
This gives me some more ideas for creating backlinks. Thank you very much!
Very useful information. Even though I already do some of this, I have not been using Facebook to its fullest potential. I'll have to explore that. Thanks!
Shot for the info! Showing the page ranks there was quite cool. Now I just gotta get some motivation and do it...hehehe
Great hub. Bookmarking this!
This is one of the best articles on this subject. Very simple information delivered concisely. Awesome!
you know that googles next code update is going to exclude most of social networking sites that means you have to have your link on so many aged profiles in order it to get link juice which is usless for a novice
I am embarassed to say that you lost me in point #1...I've never joined a group on FB though I do have a fanpage for my website. As I start out, will this all become clear? I sure have a lot to learn...thank you SO much for sharing this great advice. You gonna write an e-book?
Hi..
Some facts you have stated are not entirely accurate.
Facebook, Twitter and the like may have high domain page rank, but the url where your actual links would appear are likely to have no page rank at all, and they will also be no follow.. Now a back link is a back link non the less..
Very, Very interesting. I'm still trying to figure out how to get good links cheaply and quickly. I've just watched my 8 week old blog go from page 12 to 4 to 19!
Thank you for the informative Hub. This is the kind of content I aspire to write.
The sites mentioned are very useful, that's the information we want, thanks for sharing! It is a little pity that here in our country, some resources like Twitter can not be used as it is not allowed by gov.
OK... I am very timid about putting links on FB other than my own. Help me understand this. So I go to FB and search groups that line up with a hub...let's say a weight loss hub. Then I "like" their fanpage/group and I write on their wall with a catchy title and the link to my Hub?
But links in facebook, twitter, digg, stumble are all nofollow, isnt it.
great but hard work for link building.
Are you a search engine optimization staff? Your article is very useful! Thanks for your sharing!
Very helpful. Especially the facebook group and stumbleupon advice! Thanks!
I tried it with FB referencing my M&M hub--looked for groups that like chocolate-- and got a couple of views that may have been from that. Got a couple of new followers on my website, too, though it's about organizing and not about candy at all. Interesting. I think I'll try it again.
Great hub, Bendo. I've always questioned those "pay for backlinks" campaigns plastered all around the internet. You've certainly confirmed my thoughts on them.
Thanks!
Voted up and useful ... Great information and I now have some new sites to add to my backlinking list :-).
Thanks for sharing ... you have a new follower.
Thank you for the techspeak in English - there's a whole cyber world out there that I didn't even know about!
Very helpful tips as maximum people spend time on free directories, forums, article marketing.
good tips. I'll try this out as well.
Thanks for this wonderful information. Always good to know what is tried and tested
Thanks for the information.
Thank goodness for Hubs like yours. I'm just new to Hub Pages. Thank you for all the tips on things I can co to get more traffic.
Thanks for the great hub, I'm going to try posting to your list and see if I get results. I appreciate you sharing what you've learned.
Hi, this is so useful, I am useless at backlinking etc, and to be quite honest I don't really know how to go about it, this is bookmarked and so helpful, thanks nell
Thank you for this. At least, I now know that indeed one of the best things in traffic building - backlinking - can be free! As a newbie, I'd been tempted to buy backlinks:-(
Fnatastic information, thansk for sharing do you have any other sites that you highly recommend for backlinks? Is using forums and press releases classed as backlinks?
i noticed your page rank for this page is still 1, did you not hava chance to implement your strategy yet?
Finally an answer that gives me something tangible to try. I made a whopping 5 cents in July and just didn't know what I could do to improve things. I enjoy writing, but I don't want to contuinue doing it for free. Thanks!
ohh, that makes perfect sense, that's quite a bummer for you then isn't it? all that work gone to waste? do you happen to know what your pr was before the switch?
I'm glad you clarified the nofollow backlinks, as I was worried they were a waste of time. Although they don't help for page rank, a website does not have to have a high PR to do well in SERPs.
i am actually more worried about my own website, which unfortunately doesn't have the high 80's DR that hubpages has ;) haha, but thanks anyways and that is quite the success story
Very useful hub. I like the simple step-by-step instructions.
Thanks for the knowledge, Bendo13. Do you know anything about these tiny urls that twitter uses? Do these truncated URL's still pass the so called "link juice" that I keep reading about?
thank you Bendo i'll try that :) ohh and btw congrats on your hubscore :)
Awesome! I'll try this out
Great information! I've bookmarked your hub and voted it up.
Bendo its ok but publishing link at fb or twitter is marked as nofollow. It means it will not effect our rankings on google.
yea, but Google indexes nofollow links and some times is listed in inbound links...
maybe it's get ranking when page has high page trust?
Excellent article!
I've read tons of books and run into many offers ("get 5000 backlinks in 24 hours! Millions of visitors!") that are simply nonsensical.
The bottom line I have always subscribed to is that if you want LASTING web visibility, you need to grow your sites/articles/blogs "organically," that is... be patient, and allow your campaign to build over the time it takes something to build. And yes, that may take two weeks and it may take two months.
Good stuff!
Wow! I will definitely get to work getting backlinking going! Thanks for the indepth and simply laid out information! Voted up, useful and awesome! Thanks!
Hi, great hub! Voted up! What do you think about all those free directorys out there (their PR ranges from 0-3? Do they count as much as social and hub links?
Im signing up for Sitesays as we speak. Thanks for the info!~ :-)
Good presentation of the topic, well written and easy to follow. Very informative! Useful info..
Informative, intuitive and in-depth. I was particularly impressed with your answers to the multitude of questions that different people put forward...you covered their questions with knowledgeable and self-evident answers, obviously based on your experience in this "niche" of the formidable "backlink". Thanks heaps!
interesting to make a hub about backlinking yet this hub isn't even used for backlinking any of your properties. your telling me you wrote a hub purely for readers and possible hub earnings?
I've found hubpages overly restrictive to what you can point to. they have shot down my blog, capture, youtube, and squidoo pages...
Sigh. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to worry about backlinks and SEO. We could just write about what we feel passionate about and people interested could find it by that. Have we REALLY progressed all that far from the 1990's word count search algorithms?
I've heard it suggested that google's bot is so proficient that if the main keyword were utterly deleted from a page's content that the page bot could figure out what the missing keyword was by the supporting words - OH REALLY? - Then why can't it pick out which articles are spun a hundred times?
This was great. Bookmarking for future reference.
Good stuff...I learned a lot! I will bookmark this and vote it up!
This is great information. Thank You.
Thanks for the info on this important topic.
Another excellent hub on a well sought for topic. Written so that anyone with general knowledge on backlinking could follow and create some quality link juice. Thanks Bendo 13
Great hub
Good info. I would also add, to your list of free places, aboutus.org. You can tell this site about your own site a get a nice backlink to it. It is a PR6 and it also has some nice tools for analysing a website.
It is free. Just enter your website in the search box and it will pull the details. You can then edit the summary and create the aboutus.or wiki details.
Another great post I've read from you. The free tips you come up with for link building are amazing! How do you figure these out?
Really Great hub ...Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the info. You give idea about backlinking and PR.
Numerous linking strategies, but useless. These links can do nothing for your link jiuce.
Great hub Bendo13, thanks for the advice. I've read so many articles on backlinking and you're the only one to give a nice clear step-by-step formula. Btw, I was always wondering how people use FB for anything other than socializing, thanks for clearing that up!
These are great ideas, thank you. I have been writing lots of hubs, but haven't figured out how to market it yet, except for sharing it on a facebook page. I hadn't thought about sharing it with groups, thanks.
Thanks for sharing an interesting and useful details about link building. GC
Bendo,
So far your article on SEO/backlinking is the only one on HubPages that I have read (I have read a few) that has ANY pagerank. It is a 2!! Well done. I hope everyone above has taken your advice and backlink like you do.
I am starting to believe that views and # of comments/social engagement has a lot to do with PR also. What do you think?

That's some great information there! I use a pretty similar method myself too! It's pleasantly effective!
I'm in the process of moving right now and I am itching to update my IM guide and this has wetted my appetite.. I have two weeks to wait though! darn it!
