Link Building

  • In every webmaster forum and blog out there, the community always goes nuts over finding ways to get universities and government sites to link to you. This post is dedicated to helping those people save their money and allow them to get an unlimited amount of .edu and .gov links for free, all through the power of google!

    The ’site:’ feature in Google allows only results with that domain name or domain extension to show up. You can “hack” this feature to allow Google to find the most relevant university and government websites related to your sites.

    Examples:
    Google query: site:.gov blog [or site:.edu blog]
    Results in: Google finds any .gov website that is running a blog or has a /blog/ directory. You can then visit these blogs and post comments (if you can find wordpress blogs like this one), and get hundreds of free .gov backlinks.
    [Alternative queries: 'blog' 'blogs' 'wordpress' 'comment' 'guestbook' '2007' '2006']

    Google query: site:.edu *your niche* + blog
    For example: site:.edu internet marketing blog
    The top result is a .edu blog that links to a non edu blog, but that blog is related and is PR3 and has edu backlinks. That is also a great relevant place to comment, even if it is not directly a .edu. On the other hand, the third result was a PR3 highly related .edu internet marketing blog with zero comments. That is easy .edu backlinks!

    You can easily replicate these queries to fit your needs, and it is highly scalable. You can find .edu, .gov, and if you are lucky, .mil blogs. If you are not as picky, you can just search specifically for the blogs without the .edu or .gov extension, and you can find some high pageranked blogs on the first pages of results. Play around with it, enjoy it, it’s free!

    Then find what your top competitors for the geo targeted search terms your are trying to rank for are doing by checking out who is linking to them. You can then target the same websites to try to grab your own links.

    To get on page one, It’s not a big deal, but depends very much on the competition for that keyword. For example if your keywords, are highly searched by people, the competition for that keywords is huge.

    In my blog I don’t turn off the comments and I see to it to check the comments if its related to the article. If comment is not related then I will not approve it.

    I have already tried it many times
    but it takes more time to build links

    Inbound links are the holy grail of traffic. Getting inbound links from government and / or university sites are the ultimate testament that your site is indeed of good quality. It’s critical to remember not to spam these sites. You may be reported and eventually lose your credibility and reputation.

    You should try building links yourself. It is time consuming but it is not that difficult. There are many companies. But sometimes a freelancer will make better work. What is your domain and target keywords?
