120x240 3 way Links & Other Cool Tricks for Google RankingsGoogle may have been the leading search engine for years, but their algorithm is outdated and predictable. Because of this, pretty much everyone and their grandmother knows how to easily manipulate natural search results; get inbound links.

For years, I have been playing with various tactics. I was one of the first seo experts out there to utilize a 3-way link tactic before it has become a part of every seo firms trick. The 3 way works like this…

You want to avoid reciprocal linking because you heard that it has little effect on your rankings and PageRank, so you decide to contact related companies and webmasters. You proceed to tell these webmasters that you will offer them a one-way link from your homepage in exchange for a one-way link from another website that they own. This allows you both to receive a one-way link which is a win/win situation. You can do this many times, and end up with a good collection of high PageRank one-way links.

It does get tricky though. If you consider the tactic more deeply, you will probably want to make sure that the websites you are getting links from are not linked together. That “associates” them, and makes the one-way link a little watered-down compared to the alternative.

3-way links are great if you can really churn them out. Of course, you want to limit the amount that you have outbound from your homepage. The cool thing about this though is that you can create multiple mini-sites with unique information, get them linked form a bunch of directories, then put a one-way link to your main site. This really works great if you place the mini-sites on a bunch of different free hosting servers to get unique IP addresses behind the hosts.

Is reciprocal dead?

Ummmm… NO! Take it from an expert here. I can care less what you have heard. I have gotten a brand new website a PageRank 4 in just 3 weeks with only a reciprocal linking campaign, and that wasn’t too long ago either.

Reciprocals can be done in an unpredictable way if it makes you feel safer. Avoid naming your link page reciprocal-links, partners, or links because search engines know that they are common names for reciprocal linking campaigns. Instead, put up something like “resources” or “recommendations”, although resources is a somewhat common file-name and a little old at this point.

The freebie tactic

This is something I have repeatedly written about. The freebie tactic is basically creating some product that gets published on someone’s site, and links back to you with your anchor text. I do this all the time with free web templates. As a matter of fact, I offer a link building service using this tactic and I design you a custom template that you can offer for free to anyone with your desired anchor text in the footer with a creative commons requirement.

The free templates aren’t the only freebies that get me links however. I also tend to create various graphics for free on my blog, and people who appreciate this service like to link to me sometimes. I call it a link bait freebie.

The article backlink x 100

CashMachine 300x263 3 way Links & Other Cool Tricks for Google RankingsYou have probably learned from MANY blogs that it’s smart to submit articles to article publishers like EzineArticles, Associated Content and others, but did you know there is a deeper explanation for why you can build serious backlinks with it?

Years ago, I discovered that there were turnkey softwares out there that made it easy to build niche sites. The software works in a way that it pulls articles from EzineArticles and other publishers based on the niche they have chosen, and insert those articles with the author credits and call into a web template. They can then upload these files and start promoting them. I discovered this because #1) I bought the software on Ebay; and #2) I found websites that were linking to me using niche sites with articles I have written.

Most article publishers allow your articles to be republished as long as the author credit remains in-tact. This means that you are building a residual linking system by publishing articles for free.

Another linking system

There is another linking system that I would have talked about, but Glenn Alsop from ViperChill beat me to it. So it would only be proper for me to guide you to that article which is here.
