Update on How I Get Backlinks

This is going to be a bit of a short post.

I’ve been testing a lot lately and some of the previously mentioned backlinking methods are basically unnecessary in my opinion.

However, I’ve been continually getting page one rankings using the following 2 simple methods:

1) SEO TrackBacks – This piece of software gathers info on the latest blogs out there using Google Trends, then finds those that are unmoderated and don’t have a captcha, and posts whatever comment you want, including a link, to as many of them as you want. I usually tell it to do 20-40 links per url, per day, as not all of them will stick. The creator of the software is also adding a proxy option to it as we speak.

2) The Link Juicer – This software groups the social bookmarking accounts of thousands of users, and posts your link to up to 10 of them per day, randomly, with cleverly spun, unique content.

I use these two solutions for niche keyword sites as well as larger authority sites.

For niche keyword (1-2 page) wordpress blog sites, as I’ve mentioned before, I am still mostly following the Google Sniper Method of getting the .com, .net, or .org domain of my targeted keyword. If its not available I move on.

And again, I’m using Market Samurai for keyword research. I typically only target keywords with competition under 100k, with over 50% OCI, over 50% PBR (or just select “phrase match” only), and at least 3,000 searches per month.

And don’t forget to ping your site’s URL, as well as the URL’s of your backlinks once you get them. I prefer to use the free “Ping Machine” software from SEOMunchies.com

Here is a list of the 24 services I have uploaded into Ping Machine, so my links/pages get pinged in multiple places.

If you are thinking you need to use more tools, methodologies, tips, tricks, fancy shmancy algorithms, etc. – STOP.

The best tip I can give you is to IGNORE 99% of what you are reading about regarding SEO. Stop wasting your time and simply do the above. I’ve tested it dozens and dozens of times and IT WORKS. You don’t need to look for a “magic pill” or “secret”.

The secret is… there is no secret.

Also, some of the links above are affiliate links. But unlike most affiliate marketers, I actually USE the tools/solutions mentioned above. I have a video of myself using them inside BringTheFresh.com. And I’m working on another video case study right now that will be available inside of Bring the Fresh soon. The first part of it will be available here free on my blog shortly.

Please test this stuff out for yourself and post your results back here to we can all help each other out.

It’s all happening.
