Squidoo lens’s sometimes go left and forgetten so here are a few places to submit your lens to increase its indexing chances. I usually just like to build a few quality len’s around my niche and then submit and forget. So far they I’ve had a great sucess rate for keeping my pages indexed. I also like to submit my Len’s to social bookmarking sites to give them that extra kick in the ass.

Link Building Chat From My Favorite Forums

1 Comments
August 14  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

So do you want to know where I keep an ear to the ground when it comes to link building techniques? There are a few great sections from all our favorite forums that offer a place to discuss link building in depth. I’ve noticed a lot of repeat questions being asked these days so you have to keep an eye out in order to spot the goods.

v7n Forums offer a great place for friendly chat with knowledgable individuals and companies.  Their forums are just shy of 50,000 wdebmasters so there is no shortage of discussions taking place throughout the day. The places I keep fresh on are a few different sections starting with the “SEO Forum“, and then I mosey into the “Blogging Promotion” section. Another thing I keep in mind is to see what link building services people are offering which every once in a while brings a new method to my attention.

The Digital Point Forums has a specific forum section called “Link Development” which is entirely dedicated to building links. Again lately there has been a lack of new methods being disclosed so its best to look at the most viewed posts in that section. The users that lurk inside Digital Point are very friendly and you can always count on someone helping you out.

My favorite link building forum spot is over at High Rankings Forum where they have a whole link building section with broken down subcategories. There are so many web 2.0 social sites coming out these days so when I find one we can use, I usually talk about it in here.

Squoogle Anyone? Who Can Guess What This Is?!

10 Comments
August 14  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

Squoogle is a site I managed to miss until my good friend pointed it out to me. It’s another nicely put together place to drop links to your social media articles. I used to just make a squidoo page and just bookmark it here and there, but now I got a private list of places that will take my lens. Currently Squoogle offers only these few sites;

  • Gather
  • Squidoo
  • Hub Pages
  • Associated Content
  • Launchtags

These social media and social article sites are a great place to build links on due to the social nature that Google is loving right now. As long as you make your pages quality and well written you have nothing to lose. If anyone has anymore sites to submit your pages to add them into the comments and I will add them to the list.

Yahoo Directory Canada Is Free!

August 14  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

This applies to Canadian websites only and I hold it up there as the Holy Grail of links to get for a .ca website besides dmoz, and it is the Yahoo Directory for Canada. They only accept quality websites and it can be tough at times getting listed within the directory. I’ve had a successful listing for a few clients and only one of my personal websites. The Canadian Yahoo Directory is a pr5 directory and the submission process is so easy it’s well worth the time. You can submit here.

Sniffing Out Competitors Back Links For Your Gain

Comments Off on Sniffing Out Competitors Back Links For Your Gain
August 14  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

I follow a lot of great affiliate marketing and link building blogs on the web and come to admire a lot of smart people out there. One of my favorites is Colin LaHay’s “Mixed Market Arts” because his blog is one of the few that has actually taught and old dog new tricks. His Link Building Cookbook is the best laid out blog post on the subject of getting links in 2008.  His blog is a perfect example of someone who I regularly check to see where his top back links are coming from, and what new ones he’s acquired. A quick glance shows that his pet project RSS Hugger is providing his site with some great link juice. If you haven’t signed up for RSS Hugger I suggest you do so for free here.

I believe in doing this for every campaign because you can not only get the same links your competitors have, but you can also determine what they’re doing thats been successful within that niche. This is all assuming within the top 3 ranking sites in the niche you’re after.

Lets say for example you’re marketing a site targeting “Las Vegas Car Rentals”. I’m going to post the results I get from my browser here in Vancouver Canada, so they will be a little different when you search…this is fine though because I can still get my point across.



Dream Car Rentals has built a good amount of back links over time and as you all will be able to tell, would take some time to overcome. From the first 20 back links I snooped out on Dream Car Rentals I could obtain links from %40 of them because they were a few obvious social bookmarking sites and car rental directories. I can also see a few links they’ve paid for within the mix.

Another aspect to look at is how the top bloggers are using link bait to get an ungodly amount of one-way links to their site. Hate him or love him, Shoemoney.com is a great domain to examine in detail because there are few people who can attract links like him. I’ve learned a lot from gaming both Shoemoney.com and SEOMOZ.org in regards to link baiting.

Link Plug For A Podcast Plug..Who’s Tried This?

1 Comments
August 14  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

I briefly mentioned before that I’ve been experimenting with getting my blogs, or clients blogs mentioned in Podcasts related to my niche that I was promoting. The Podcasting community is still growing every day and most likely there is a Podcast related to your niche out there already. All it takes is a simple email or skype call away to get intouch with that “Podmaster”, and you could easily be setting yourself up with a chance to get some new readers to your blog.

This could work out to be very benificial if you’re selling a product within that niche. If you make a great target audience match up the potential to make sales goes up greatly, especially compared to a tired “web/banner ad” washed webosphere.

A great example of a perfect match up would be when Audible.com ran ads on Leo Laporte’s This Week In Tech(TWiT) podcast. I myself subscribe to well over 100 podcasts, love books and barely leave home without my iPod. I tried out Audible.com after hearing a few shows and have since then stocked up my iPod with audio books which are a great listen anywhere.

So you can hit up one of the many Podcast Directories on the web and find a show related to your site and get intouch with other businesses out there. Please feel free to leave your thoughts or rants in the comments, as well as advertise any website to Podcast trades you have to offer.
