Yaro,

Have you found this technique to still be valid? Any recent successes? This post was from pretty long time ago so just curious.

Thanks for guidance, I am trying to get health and safety policy (keyword) ive others h & s regulation, manual handling training but the main page is now just sticking.
Ive pages representing each of my keywords and they are slowly moving up, but why are the rankings different from uk to web on some of them? on good ranks in uk ive usually go to go 6 or 7 deep to find them on web. I think this may just be because of goverment sites. What do you think?

Hi Justin,

Do you know where I can find more information about MySpace link building?

I like it. Time for me to try another strategy. I’ve been testing using Scribd to get on page 1 of Google – it works within days – (see my blog for full details) but I’m looking for multiple ways of achieving high rankings because the playing field regularly changes and you never know when something will stop working overnight.

Very Interesting… What brought me to this blog was a Google search for “rel=nofollow craigslist” as I was told that to avoid ads with links to sales pages from getting booted off of craigslist, use the rel=nofollow in links back to your sales page. Any follow up advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bob

Judy – I’m not sure what you mean? A high search engine ranking is good for any site no matter what you sell or if you sell nothing, presuming you want traffic from search engines.

I think this system works for companies that have items to sell, but what about a site that sells or advertising nothing? Can it also receive high rankings? In this internet dog-eat-dog world, can a site still acheive rankings while not selling or promoting products or memberships?

Great tip! I also love using MySpace profiles to build inbound linkage because MySpace ranks really well.

[...] Just recently someone suggested that the classifieds site Craigslist may be an untapped marketing channel for my business BetterEdit. Craigslist has become a central hub for commerce in many major cities around the world, and students in particular make use of the service daily to buy and sell secondhand goods. Since I target university students with BetterEdit, Craigslist presents an opportunity to reach hundreds of thousands of potential clients at no cost but the time it takes to enter postings. Or, I could consider paying for a Craigslist seeding service to do the posts for me – I have to admit that is very tempting. I’ve used Craigslist once before to gain a number one Google ranking so I know how powerful the site is. [...]

Try the gumtree website it is similar to craigslist.

Ahh, okay PRE – I was curious because the article focused on how to get a number one ranking in google so I felt like you were implying that leaving blog comments were a better technique because they are permanent. Of course there is no way a blog comment will ever get you a number one google ranking, at least not as the focus of the piece.
But yes, certainly leaving blog comments in general is a good technique to improve traffic. One main problem is that WordPress – out of the box – attaches the rel=nofollow automatically to all blog comment links. Changing it is often too difficult for the average blogger.

Many blogs don’t use the rel=”nofollow” system to block the links from being followed by spiders.

The link is still counted as a vote for your page, and anyone who reads your comment will possibly follow it.

The reason I mentioned this at all is that it’s a permanent link–you don’t have to babysit classified listings.

And it’s not necessarily better than the idea above, it’s just another idea.

Hi Page Rank Experimenter – Hmm, your suggestion is okay (taking out any consideration of the rel=”nofollow” issue), but it’s not not nearly as good as the idea proposed in this article because your blog comment is not the focus of the link returned in the SERPs. A craigslist entry will be focussed 100% on you and linking direct to your site.

Or perhaps I don’t quite grasp the point you are trying to make?

A tactic that is somewhat similar to this yours but that often provides permanent results goes something like this:

Find a blog that is about the general topic you are addressing. Find a post that contains the key words you want to use. Use those key words in the “Name” field of the comment form, e.g., Page Rank, followed by a noun like “tester,” “pro,” “expert,” etc. Then link to the correct landing page in the “Website” field of the comment form. Make sure to make a constructive, relevant comment.

Most people won’t mind if you post your interest (page rank, SEO, etc.) and position (tester, amateur, manager, etc.) as your name. What you get is perfect link text, from a perfect site, to the perfect landing page.
