Link Building ~ the Holy Grail to High Search Engine Listings

Link building… the “Holy Grail” to high search engine listings?

Not sure I’d go as far and say that — but many seo Experts say it’s so.

I can say this though… whenever I have linked to a page on this blog from another using a certain technique, it always seems to rank higher.

But I do not subscribe to the “Holy Grail” line of thinking — sounds like hype to me, but it does work.

Take this phrase for example; (without quotes)

how to run my car on water

I am listed #2 in Googles results.

This one;

run my car with water

#1 in Google.

Or how about this one;

utility poster video

I’m #1 for that phrase in Google.

I could go on and on, give you my most profitable phrases that I rank for — but I’d be messing myself up by giving you those phrases.

Besides, the run my car on water phrase is a pretty good one.

None of the above have humongous searches — but they are respectable — and because I rank fairly decent, I make a few bucks.

So how did I do it?

I used some of that “Holy Grail” Linking those seo Experts talk about… and it was easy (and free).

Whenever I write a post… I first think of the words or phrases I want to rank well for in the search engines.

I write down the main phrase… then I write down three or four related phrases and use them though out the post (article).

Once I’ve finished with the post, I let the post sit — I don’t link to it from anywhere or basically do anything with it for a few days. No promo at all.

I want Google to find it here first — and Wordpress does a good job of that.

I used to check that Google has made the rounds… to much work — now I just wait a few days and then begin my linking campaign without checking.

What tools and services do I use?

For the most part, I use Clipmarks.

I use Clipmarks to clip relevant content — I then post that content to different satellite (child and grandchild) blogs that point back (link) to this blog using keyword rich anchor text — the same keywords I used in my post.

That’s it for the most part.

There’s a few extra things I do with the RSS Feeds, structuring of the satellite blogs, etc.

But Clipmarks is the key.

So jump on over to Clipmarks (it’s a free service) and take it for a spin.

It’s a great service that costs nothing.

If you want to cut your learning curve down a bit — (here’s the pitch), I have created a 40 page link building report on how I do it.
