How I Get Backlinks
(Post bumped up due to popularity)
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.

Great info Kelly. I purchased SEO Trackbacks and Market Samurai from your recommendations and am starting to put them to use in addition to some other backlink methods I use.
Just to be clear, you’re using SEO trackbacks on your main sites and not just on articles or squidoo pages etc correct?
Thanks for the great info and for not being like the other gurus…I’m so sick of all their promotions!
Cheers

I purchased SEO trackbacks and got the Ping Machine as well, but I do have one different thing about my keywords then you.
They have wayyyyyy more then 100k competition. I’m talking 1 million – 2 million competing pages with exact “” match. I know, it’s insane!
Will these backlinking strategies still work for me?

These links are great but if you want to rank for something extremely competitive they won’t be enough…
At the top of competitive categories people are buying up links like crazy.
You better have a budget at that level, I’m learning the hard way

Market Samurai is awesome. And I agree, “The secret is… there is no secret.”

Great post Kelly and loving your entire blog. I do have a quick question however. Say I have 50 of these sniper sites running how would you recommend building backlinks to all of these sites on a daily basis? Can the Seo trackback tool add 2000 links (in total) per day?
Love to hear your response

Yikes! Are you sure this seo trackback thing works? I guess I’ll take your word for it since you’ve tested it a number of times. I just did a small test to make sure I was doing it right…posted 45 trackbacks then went and took a look at the pages my link was on.
100% of them were on pages with no PR, not PR 0, just a grey bar. I only found 2 that were do follow…and I’d say 98% of them had anywhere from 500 to over 4000 links on one page!
Is this just too small of a sample, is this more of a numbers thing? Get enough links and a fraction of them will be decent?

Thanks Kelly for letting us know the results of your testings. Really appreciate you for sharing this info!
However, I’ve got a coupla questions….
I second Blondmoo’s question above:
So no more Angela’s?
Have you applied this to a brand new sniper site and ranked good. without the need for Angela’s or Pauls’ backlinks?
Also in the G-Sniper method, we are required to target terms with less than 7k competing sites on google. Do your extra tools help you rank easily for a 100k competition term?
Thanks, and keep up the good work

Hi Kelly,
Thanks for all this info its great, I’ll give you some background first. I purchased Rich Jerk oh must be 2 or 3 years ago now. I started to make some good money with it until Google banned my most profitable keywords for a TM infringement grrrr
Never really recovered from that early blow but I’m always willing to try again and I’ve built ten sites so far using the Google sniper method.
BTW my first site got banned because the template I used had a hidden link in it to a pharmacy site, just something to beware of guys.
My other sites are now starting to get indexed and one is on the fist page already using the above method, I have another on page two with just a couple of links indexed. All my sites are less than 10 days old.
I will let you know how profitable they are 
All the best

@Automated I’ve used SEO trackbacks to get my Digg pages to page 1. But lately I’ve just focused on my own sites.
@Sean Well I have had success with this method for phrases having up to 9 or 10 million broad match and 1 to 2 million phrase, but I’ve had to add more content (posts), more links, and it’s taken longer. It requires a bit more of a personal touch, but its definitely possible.
@Blondmoo I haven’t had to use Angela’s to get ranked anymore. But on the flip side, my buddy who is new to IM just got #4 out of 9 million for a pretty nice phrase using just 40 of Angela’s backlinks, and no software.
@Jason 50 sites is no problem. I have SEO Trackbacks running to about 25 or 30 right now. It can do thousands or just a handful. Whatever you need. I would say 2000 links would take less than 24 hours.
@Submission Yes, I’m sure it works. I never actually check the PR of the links anymore because I really don’t care. My sites are getting ranked and that’s all I care about. And same goes for Angelas links. Almost all of them have no PR but they are extensions of high PR sites and its working. I have no idea about Google’s algorithm or anything. All I can tell you is what’s working for me.
@Emmanuel Yeah, not using Angela much lately. I’ve begun targeting sites with under 500k competition now as the 100k or less have become so “easy” to rank for.
@Jaffmonkey Awesome!

Hey Kelly…are you still making RSS feeds of your backlinks using html2rss or are you finding that it’s enough to just ping the pages your links are on?
Comment from admin
January 30, 2010 at 4:16 pm
@Dan I’ve actually not gotten around to doing the RSS a lot lately and not seen any ill effects.

I just bought seo backtracks and bring the fresh – great!
One question using the backtracks would it be bad to just use google trends to let them find the blogs or should we make our own file of search terms.
I’m worried that if the links are posted on blogs unrelated to the keyword it won’t help much or will be a red flag so maybe I should use my own related keywords or does this not matter?
Thanks, you guys are great.

I have been using SEO trackbacks for a little now and not a single backlink is getting sent my way according to yahoo and google. I digg all the pages with the blog posts and ping both the diggs and the blog posts?
am I doing something wrong because I’m about ready to get my money back from the program.

@mike I use the Google Trends method inside of SEO Trackbacks finder as I believe these blogs have newer content and get spidered more often, and potentially carry more weight than an older outdated blog with no new content. I’ve never had to worry about the blog being relevant to my niche.
@Sean No problem, go for it!
@Alex Thanks, look forward to your feedback.
@Rome Sure thing.
@Derek A few things here:
1) Digg links are nofollow now, so I’m not using digg anymore for the time being
2) If you are pinging the digg pages and your own pages, where is SEO Trackbacks coming into play?
You should be using SEO Trackbacks (both Finder & Poster) to get backlinks to your site. Then run a report in the software to find out where your links are. Then ping those URL’s using Ping Machine.
Let me know if you follow me.
Thx,
Kelly

Hi Kelly, does your 20-40 backlinks per url per day guideline still apply if the you have multiple urls from the same domain?
For example, 3 urls from the same domain would mean 60-120 backlinks per day. Wouldn’t this raise a red flag with search engines?
Comment from DerekS
February 2, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Hey Kelly,
I have been pinging the blog pages with my link. It has been leaving 20-40 links a day and I ping about 5-6 or them a day (My blog is new and do not want to over do it)… none of them are counting as back links.
I have the domain http://www.my-keyword-here.com (with dashes) that leads to a wordpress blog hosted on my server. The keyword is in the title tag and I use it throughout the pre-sell for my main money site.
The search term has exactly 36,500 results with quotes and the page ranking in number 10 position only has 2 backlinks point to it. The page itself has a PR of 3.
Feel free to email me back if you want with some input.

So, I found this blog via a link from a list I’m subscribed to. The big problem I’ve always had is finding good keywords.
Well, I got Market Samurai and followed the guidelines from this blog and things are lookon’ good.
Bought a domain name with one of the keywords, built a site, added quality content (10 articles). With no off page SEO… I’m number 9 on the front page of Google.
I’m now building niche sites like crazy.
Kelly,
THANK YOU!

Why do you ping non-english sites and ping everything twice once individually and once through pingomatic?

Take note! The 24 sites that Kelly listed are a nice fresh and vital resource for fast rankings. It’s easy to think that just because it’s free that it’s not bankable.
