Like any other Internet Marketing savvy, I’m also interested in Search Engine Optimization and particulary I’m interested in Link building and how to get backlinks from other web-sites. If you didn’t know, backlinks are the back-bone of SEO, those links coming from other web-sites, especially web-sites from the same markets or niches, can boost your web-sites authority in the eyes of Search Engines.
Nothing new until now, you would say. The problem is how do we find web-sites that their owners are willing to exchange links with our web-site? Well, this is the tricky part. Some are willing to pay big bucks to Search Engine Optimization Companies that will do the job for them and I’m not talking about the average “little guys” like me, but the “big boys” who can afford it.
So, what about us, the “little guys”? Are we “doomed” to never see the “light” of a greater Page Rank of 0 (zero)? I think not. And this blog right here is my proof to you that it can be done without throwing out 1,000′s of dollars in SEO and advertising budgets. In fact it took me exactly $0 (ZERO) to implement a strategy that got me a PR 3 web-site. And this was done in less than 30 days!
As you can see, I used Page Rank Checker to get an accurate Page Rank for my blog. In fact I couldn’t believe when I saw “something green” on my Google Toolbar (in Firefox) that has a Page Rank bar implemented, while I was visiting the first page of my blog!
The service I used is called LinkMetro and is one of Brad Callen’s many web-sites offering top-quality services. Now, you can access LinkMetro as a free member and also as an advanced member, paying $20 per month. The difference between the two is the fact that if you chose the paid membership, all the work is done automatically, all the “adding” and “requesting” is done by the script.
To be honest with you, I didn’t believe this type of link trader can be effective that’s why I went with the free membership first, but planning on going with the paid one. now that the service prooved to be very useful.
In therms of backlinks, I only got 3 backlinks, 2 from PR 2 web-sites and 1 from a PR 4 web-site. The good news is these are highly targeted web-sites, all three being related to Internet Marketing. the bad news is I got these backlinks because these sites are advanced members of LinkMetro and it would probably take a while before I get others to link to my site.
So, if you are a beginner at LinkMetro, do a search for my web-site and add a link to your site. I would be happy to link back. I check the LinkMetro stats every day, so you won’t have to wait to long, I guess.
