The only way of getting visitors to your website is via a link. There is no other way. Even the search bots need a link to follow to index your page. If no one can find a link to your site, then no one can visit it. That being true, then your most effective way of getting more visitors is to have more links. Remember that the Internet is an interconnected network of pages. The connections are the links. Yes, I know that I'm hammering this concept, but it is one that many people seem to neglect in the way they think about getting traffic. Once upon a time, about ten years ago, link wheels were all the rage. Google even had a link wheel on their search page to show you how they wanted the keywords and connections to go. When people followed the instructions, they found that they ranked really well. Google stomped on them because they worked, and undeserving sites were ranking over more deserving sites in the eyes of Google. But, some people saw how well they worked and built their own sites to act as satellite sites with links to their money site. These worked just as well as the link wheels until Google stomped on them. These were called PBNs or Private Blog Networks and were declared "Black Hat" by Google and everyone who didn't have one. They still exist, but the owners have worked out how to create them without leaving footprints for Google to find and de-index. They still work exceptionally well, but they are now expensive to build and maintain.
Unless...
...you don't use privately owned sites as satellite sites.
I call this a Public Blog Network. The most significant advantage is that any link you build is one of the thousands of others built the same day, making it next to impossible to filter out yours. To do this well, you will need to use a spreadsheet to track which sites you have placed content on and what anchor text you have used for the backlink. Break the spreadsheet up into daily tasks so you don't get overwhelmed by the work and plug away at building 5 - 10 links per day. You create or curate the content you place on these sites, put your link in the body of the text where it makes sense for a reader to click out for more information.
Posting on these web 2.0 sites will bring visitors and boost your ranking, doubling the benefit. Here is an old list of web 2.0 sites from 2013 that you can use, assuming they are still alive. As you can see by the ugly link, this is in my private collection of sites, and there will be some which no longer exist. One caveat that you must take into account. Do not link your web 2.0 pages together. Only link to your money page and perhaps the home page. No more than two links to your sites, but you can link to other sites if you like. If you use articles from the directories, leave the author box intact at the bottom and add your links into the body text. You can add a comment at the top and link to your home page there instead of the body. |
