I was asked recently to explain one simple way to which I go about getting backlinks to my site… so here it is..
Here’s an explanation for what I find to be the simplest in terms of the amount of time spent and the number of backlinks gained… (note: some or all of the steps can be outsourced)
First, let me explain a scenario to understand the purpose..
Say I have an article on one of my sites that I want to rank for the term… “chia seeds recipes” (meaning, someone types that term in a search engine and a link to my article shows up at or near the top of the organic results. i.e. the non-paid results).
What I would do is find (or come up with) a handful of keywords (or keyphrases) that can be used in place of “chia seeds recipes” in a sentence where the sentence still makes sense. Sometimes I might come up with just one, sometimes 10 or 20, sometimes none.. Either way…
The reason… I want links back to my article with the anchor text “chia seeds recipes” (and all the other terms I gathered, if any) to help help with my rankings. The anchor text used in the link gives the search engine a clear indication of what the article is about and, among other factors (including the number of links), helps in determining the location of the article in the search results.
Now.. I write.. or have someone else write an article (about 350-400 words) relating to the topic.. in this case “chia seeds”. Then.. I spin.. or have someone else “spin” the article.
Spinning involves modifying the article with special tags so that the article can be put through a “spinning engine” that spits out unique versions of the article. When spinning you come up with words or phrases to replace existing words or phrases in the article, at the same time keeping the integrity and readability of the article in tact. (Here’s A Free Web-Based Spinning Tool Here)
Once the article is spun.. you run it through one or more “spinning engines” that will create/distribute unique versions of your articles around the web. The articles that get distributed have your backlinks within them (more on that in a second). The places where your articles get published include blogs and article directories around the web that have setup a relationship with the spinning engine to get your content (i.e. they want your content and will link to you in exchange for it). The articles usually get published on blogs related to your topic (which provide extra value for the backlink), or at least in a category that relates to your topic. Your one article can generate 1000′s of unique articles so submitting them to a variety of networks is often a decent idea. Each spinning engine has unique features which include:
1) Monthly, yearly or lifetime cost for use
2) Number of articles allowed to be submitted based on membership level
3) Number of blogs or articles directories that can be submitted to from your one main “spun” article (could be 10, 100, 1000′s or unlimited)
4) Number of backlinks per article
5) Placement of backlinks (within content or within a resource or signature box)
6) Frequency of submissions (some let you set it to 5/day, 10/day, etc.) – so.. one submission can generate 5 backlinks per day for you for several months for example!
As far as backlinks go, I usually create one for the main article I want to rank for (using the variety of anchor texts I gathered in the beginning), one to the homepage (using my main keywords for my site), and if allowed one to a category page as well.
The spinning engine will automatically rotate through your keywords (in the same way it does using the alternate words and phrases added during the “spinning” process) to use as the anchor text in the article that gets submitted to the blog or article directory.
I submit my spun article to several spinning engines to get maximum effect. It is a bit pricy to keep the memberships but it is well worth it. Each spinning engine (or network) has different requirements for each submission so it does take a bit of time. When writing/spinning/submitting the article myself it can take 3-5 hours or more. There are cheap shortcuts but the value just isn’t the same so I take care to do it properly (write an original, quality article.. and hand spin it)
Here’s the process in short..
1) Get 1-3 links (depending on network(s) submitting to) and the keywords you want to rank them for
2) Write an article
3) Spin the article
4) Submit the article (inserting links where appropriate)
