Backlinks are crucial to any web marketing or SEO endeavor. Once the onpage optimizations are properly in place and primed for backlinks (as they should be), the next step is to drive backlinks to your site.
Unfortunately, we all know that backlink building is tedious work. Even with softwares that auto submits for you, most of the time you still have to sit there and manager it, by creating new accounts on web 2.0 sites or article sites, submit, and then wait for those pages to get indexed. And when some of these pages do get counted by the search engines, they seem to only help a bit, because there are only so many major web 2.0 sites these services support.
The truth is, the real way to rank higher and higher, is not just to have links from these limited web 2.0 sites over and over again (multiple links from the same site will yield diminishing returns), but to have links coming from much larger community of blogs and sites.
There are a few service that does this, including seo link vine, article marketing automation (ama), and my favorite, rapid free traffic. (yes that’s an affiliate link, so if you end up buying this through my recommendation, I’d get a little kick back, and would definitely appreciate it!) Basically, services like these are monthly memberships that allows you to simply supply an article (spin-ready format), your targeted KWs for anchor text and URL, make a few selections regarding the content/topic, and BAM, you’re done. Sit back and let it “drip” the articles out into its larget network or blogs/sites and gain powerful backlinks gradually and all on autopilot.
Of course, it’s important to have a natural link profile, meaning you want to have the right mix of different types of links, such as some bookmarks, some blog comments, some published articles on other sites (as with these article “drip” services), some forum links, and so on, so as powerful as this type of service is, do remember to sprinkle the other types of backlinks into the mix to have a natural link profile.
That’s pretty much it. Link-building doesn’t have to be hard. It just has to be smart. =)
