One Way Link Building: How to Find the Best Links Every Time
Most SEO’s will tell you that one way link building from quality “linkable” sites is the single most important factor of a successful SEO campaign.
And I am not the one to disagree with it.
I strongly believe that building a variety of links from quality and preferably high PR pages is what will make or break your efforts to place your website on the first page of Google for your desired keywords.
This post is all about the “HOW” of link building.
You are looking for a treasure, and I am about to give you a perfect map that will lead you right to it.
Use the searches below to find the best sites in your niche to link from. Just copy and paste the entire code into a search engine search box, insert your target keyword where it says “add your keyword” (duh! 
), and prepare to be amazed at what you find.
One Way Link Building with Authority Codes
One Way Link Building with WordPress Blogs
• site:.com inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.org inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.gov inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
(I do most of my link building with these commands.)
One Way Link Building with ExpressionEngine Blogs
• site:.edu “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.gov “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.com “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.org “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
One Way Link Building with BlogEngine blogs
• site:.edu “Powered by BlogEngine.NET” inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.gov “Powered by BlogEngine.NET” inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.com “Powered by BlogEngine.NET” inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
• site:.org “Powered by BlogEngine.NET” inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
Why BlogEngine and ExpressionEngine blogs? For some reason, these blogging platforms are especially popular with academics and government agencies, which a lot of times translates into high authority and PR.
The reason you should add your keyword to the searches is that you are better off linking from related sites. If you can’t find any sites to link from for your specific keyword, just widen your search, i.e. from “tractor parts” to “tractor”. (did I just give away my most profitable niche? )
One Way Link Building with Directories and Submission Sites
• intitle:add+url “your key word”
• intitle:submit+site “your key word”
• intitle:submit+url “your key word”
• intitle:add+your+site “your key word”
• intitle:add+site “your key word”
• intitle:directory “your key word”
• intitle:sites “your key word”
• intitle:list “your key word”
Most directories will not give you high quality links, but they are good to for straight URL links, like http://www.TrafficGenerationCafe.com – yes, you need these as well to appear “natural” when doing your link building. It’s especially true when building links to your home page.
One Way Link Building with Forums
• “Powered by SMF” your keyword
• Phbb your keyword
• “powered by IPB” your keyword
• MyBB your keyword
• “powered by PunBB” your keyword
• “Powered by Phbb” your keyword
• “Powered by vBulletin” your keyword
One Way Link Building with Squidoo Lenses
• site:squidoo.com “new links plexo” “add to this list”
• site:squidoo.com “your keyword” “add to this list”
Many don’t realize that many Squidoo lenses have high PR and most of them are DoFollow (not that I think it matters that much.)
Link Building Marketing Takeaway
I am sure you are itching to try these out, so I won’t hold you up much longer.
One last thing though: I want to know what you think about these codes and link building in general.
Do you believe that link building will remain a strong factor in determining your SERP standing? Comment below.

Wow I had no idea it can be this easy to find one-way link sites…thanks very much! Looking forward to try this
You are welcome, Leon.
Hi Ana!
Yep, it’s me again…LOL! Just wanted to let you know I just finished your SEO Report, and all I can say is WoW! I have been looking for some good practical advice on this for a very long time, and today, well actually a couple of days ago already when I donwloaded your report, but today I finally made the time to read it, and I was blown away with the helpful tips and advice.
I will be putting my Market Samurai as well as Keyword Elite to good use right away and start off with the SEO and then move onto quality link building.
Thanks a mil!
Just left a comment on your blog, Ruan – looked a little lonely there. lol
SOOO glad you liked it!
Awww thanks a mil Ana, how thoughtful of you!
Hahaha, yeah, gets lonely at times, but (don’t tell too many ok?) I’m still busy with a lot of experiements with my design and development, and I wouldn’t want too many people “judge a book by its cover” before everything is quite done.
I’ll keep on keeping on though, as I’m sure and confident (more excited than anything else) that Ebook Tutorials will become a huge success in future!
Thanks again!
Cheers!

That’s the spirit!
I think your ideas are wonderful,
I did similar things when I started – but never got to all this combinations!!
As I keep adding new products – will keep trying a bit of that again.
Google already give less attention to directories and more to traffic behind the links. So if it a stupid list that no ones read it – may not worth the time to have a link from there.
Things are certainly shifting all the time, Ofer; it’s our biggest challenge to keep up with the changes.
Hi Ana,
I found you today by listening to Leslie Samuel’s podcast.
You were great!
This is the first blog I’ve ever seen where the comments show the most recent at the top.
Cool!
And thanks for the link codes.
Bob
Thanks for following me to my blog, Bob, and you are very welcome!
Surely, I knew some of them.
But I guess this is the master compilation of search codes from Anna.
Lots of Thanks.
This is the best list I’ve seen thus far…I’ve been using code that has more characters. The returning results are ok, but your list is more targeted to many different areas, which will return a wide variety of different links. This is a really good list Ana! Thanks!
Ps.
Your site is very informative! I’ve been on here nearly an hour lol taking notes for my new blog I’m working on too make sure I set it up properly for the SERP’s.
Thanks Again For all you do!
Marc
So glad to hear that, Marc, and welcome to Traffic Generation Cafe!
I found very useful information from your post on how to find best links. I appreciate your nice presentation of search codes that helps to find the sites easily. Thanks for your informative post.
Glad to hear I could help, Ruku.
You are welcome, Jack.
Ironically enough, I found this site when using one your suggestions. It actually is a great method.
I suppose it works then! LOL
Great tips I have been searching for this kind of “exact how to” on link building for a while. I have jsut signed up for your e-newsletter and I VERY rarely do that anymore as so many “hawkers” out there. Cheers Dave
You are welcome, Dave – look forward to staying in touch in a “non-hawkie” way. LOL
Thanks for the reply.
Is this some sort of plug in you used to create the email to me that told me you answered my post?
If it is could you tell me what it is as it’s great.

Glad to hear that, Vedika.
Thanks for all of these codes Ana. I have learnt so much about SEO since I have been visiting your blog, you really have a wealth of information on your pages.
You said that most Squidoo lenses are DoFollow and that you don’t think it matters that much. Could you elaborate on that a bit please?
Thomas invites you to read: The Health Risks of Childhood Obesity Reviewed
Truth about Do and Nofollow, Thomas is that we need both to show Google a natural link building pattern.
That said, if I had a choice between two types, I’d definitely take dofollow.
Makes sense?
I have come across several different views on Do and Nofollow, and yours makes perfect sense to me Ana, thanks.
Thomas invites you to read: The Health Risks of Childhood Obesity Reviewed
Thanks so much for this. I have been trying to get my blog on the first 3 positions of Google, and with what you have shared here, I truly believe that I will be able to.
Hope so, Lisa.
Thanks for some good “getting out there” advise for a new Blogger
Kind Regards

Great Tricks Ana.
Well we can amend some tricks also.
Like
“post a comment” “powered by Blogengine.net’ . by searching this trick in Google,we will find many Autoapproved Dofollow links page which is maintained by blogengine.net,
I believe I had that one covered in the post, Rahul.
yes you are right but here is many tricks which is still hidden to ordinary people.
like
“login or register to post comments” inurl:node
or
We can also do one thing ..
every blog has its own format which is common .
like
when we comment on any blog then it shows
submitted by rahul on wed 12 nov 2011 at 4:30 pm
as we know * operator is the most powerful tool to do some variations.
when we will use * in place of every variable things like
name, time of comment ,year of comment, am or pm .
we will use a huge list in Google for formats blogs..
for example.
on many blogs comments show like
“comment by ana”
just replace ana (name which can be change) by * and start like
“comment by *” “add a comment”
and you will get tons of blogs.
We are one of the Best blog Commenter in our Area.
but we never use any software to search blogs.
Hope you will also be agree.
Regards
RAHUL
Wow, sounds like you are certainly very good at what you do, Rahul.
Ana,
This post seems to be pretty popular just based on the number of comments. This topic truly fascinates me.
I have yet another question for you which I’m finding increasingly more difficult to deal with.
Let’s assume that we are writing comments for the sake of adding to the discussion, continuing a conversation, or asking a questions. However, let’s be honest, we need to keep our site in mind. In order to benefit the site, I think it is reasonable to say that one could write hundreds of comments a month. My difficulty is trying to keep up with all the conversations I have started and initiated. Is there a good method to do it? Not all blogs offer you to receive emails with follow-up comments, and it looks like a never ending task to go back to all posts where I have commented before.
Thank you for your always educational help!
Let me tell you how I do it, Tom.
The only reason I ever go back to the comments I left is to make sure they were published (I have a little thing with Akismet and they like to throw my comments into spam).
If a blogger doesn’t provide a way for you to keep up with comments on their blogs, it’s their loss. Don’t feel pressured to go back to see if the conversation needs to be continued; it rarely does. It’s counter-productive.
Over the last several days I have played a lot with your search suggestions. It is all well, but I need some time to live, too.
What’s your take on outsourcing such tasks? Partly I’m concerned because I don’t want strangers comment as my alterego, but on the other hand I need more traffic and more time to run the business. Do you support outsourcing such tasks? If yes, is there a company you would recommend?
Thank you: Tom
Tom, there are companies that offer those services. Although I do my own, some of my contacts do make use of professional copywriters who do this manually for a fee. Like you say, it has to be done and you don’t have time. You simply give them your list of blogs to comment on and guidelines and they do it for you.
I’ll send you an email with some additional details.
Hi Ana,
I’ve been playing around with the above posting methods. I am finding a huge number of theoretically very appealing sites. For obvious reasons, comments need to be approved before they go up live. However, I’m finding that many of these blogs have earned a high PR, but are no longer maintained. Do you have any suggestions on filtering these out? I guess just because the last post is old, it still doesn’t mean that comments are not monitored.
Very good point, Tom.
That’s actually one of the first things I do when I get to a new blog – I go to their home page to see if it’s still maintained. If it isn’t, I don’t bother.
It takes too much time and effort to read a post and write an intelligent comment just to never see that comment appear since there’s no moderation.
It does take a while to weed out the riff-ruff, so I usually keep an ongoing list of blogs that are good for commenting and go back to them regularly.
Ana
Aren’t Squidoo “Add to List” links nofollow and therefore non-beneficial for ranking??
Last time I checked, they were DoFollow, Barry. Double-check.
I have just started using these codes myself and I am very happy with the results. Thank you very much for the information.
You are very welcome, John – that’s all I use for my link building.
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Best Aweber Autoresponder Review You bet!
Thanks for these action packed ideas Ana. I had put today aside for pulling my own ideas about backlinks together, so this post is spot on.
One question…it’s a kind of “But Ana?” question…
I thought the best quality links were in context links in the body of a blog or website? Aren’t most of the links built with these methods blog comments where one’s name is commonly used as anchor text and forums where mods are less and less tolerant of links in sig files and profiles?
Last time I looked hubs were do follow when the hub score gets to 75, so they may be useful too.
Tx
Yes, Sandy, you are absolutely right.
The best links come from content on high Authority pages.
However, that’s not going to happen.
Much anyway.
I do believe commenting links are being discounted but they still do count.
What I do is make a list of high authority dofollow blogs and make friends with blog owners. That way commenting with my anchor text is not a problem.
Hope this answers your question.

With the ExpressionEngine and BlogEngine blogs that you mentioned, do you just use your keywords as your name or how are you making sure that the anchor text includes your keywords?
TJ McDowell invites you to read: Make Money With Photography By Cutting Costs
I suppose you do with those as you do with any blog, TJ. Every blog is different and every bloggers has a choice to approve your comment or not based on your choice in the “name” field.
Hey Ana,
Really great post and apologies if this is a silly question.
I’ve only recently got into seo (never heard of it until recently).
Question is – how can I tell which blog/forum comment boxes support html hyperlinks and which don’t? I used your guide to find suitable websites but then my first attempt looked silly as the link didnt appear as a proper hyperlink – just plain text
Any help would be appreciated and keep up the great work. Nice to stumble across such a great source of info.
Joan – never ever try to add a link within your comment. What you add to the “Name” field is what becomes your hyperlink, because it connects to “your website” input.
You did just fine with the link in this comment; however, I did take it out since you are already getting a link for your name, plus CommentLuv link.
Ana, I want to thank you very much for this!! I haven’t checked back with your blog for a while now so I’m a bit late on the news. I’m glad I checked back!
Welcome back, Vera, glad to see you here again
Ana,
Some awesome content…a treasure chest of great information….this is the first time I’ve been to yout blog but I’ll be back

Definitely, Bryan.
This truly is all you’ll ever need to successful link building.
That and actually doing it.
Ana
Ana, you are DEFINITELY my new mentor! In just reading three of your articles, I just cleared up the cobwebs on SEO strategies I’ve been trying to figure out for MONTHS. My niche is in some serious trouble now!
I can’t wait to dive in a little more in depth on your blog over the weekend!
Jamie
Wow, Thanks Jamie. I’m glad I made another follower out of you. As to your blog, I know you will figure that out. It’s a learning progress so just be patient and don’t give up, you will surely get there.
All the best,
Ana
Hi Ana,
I’ve had “build links with comments” on my to-do list for months now, but I haven’t done it because I was a bit confused as to how to find appropriate blogs to comment on. This post really cleared that up for me. Thanks for providing such high quality content for free.
Every time I’ve been to your site, I find myself reading more than one post. I love how you link the different pieces of the puzzle together with different blog posts. I’ve been doing this more and more with my own blogs. Thanks for the great example.
Hello Lesa,
Wow, glad to hear that you’ve been learning a lot from my blogs. I appreciate your compliment. You can visit anytime for more free info.
Take care,
Ana
I’m glad I found this site on ComLuv.com the tips and strategy you have provided here will go a long way to boost my backlinking.
Thanks very much.
Gilberto Cintron
Good to hear that Gilberto. I’m glad you find your way here. Hope to see you again
Carry on,
Ana
The best backlink blog post I’ve read and whilst I’ve tried using some of the commands successfully I’ve been less sucessful in actually generating the links – but I’ll keep going.
When I worked for agencies we relied heavily on paid links and now I’m working for myself I’ve been trying to pursue a link strategy without buying links – but it seems tougher than I thought it would be – particularly as it seems ‘no follow’ is the standard practice for any decent PR blog.
Any thoughts on the split between ‘free’ links and paid – is there a range which you believe is optimum?
Hi, Mike:
I think paid links in general are a dangerous game to play. I personally never do it.
You are right: finding great dofollow links is a challenge, but it’s not impossible. I think most of us, linkbuilders have a nice list of high PR dofollow blogs that we’ve accumulated over time.
Check out this dofollow tool on my blog: http://www.trafficgenerationcafe.com/dofollow-blogs-finder-tool/
Hope this helps!
Ana,
I just want to tell you that I love your content. It’s so easy to follow, and it’s been helping me out a great deal over the past month or so. I’ll be sure to let you know when I start getting top rankings in the search engines.
Jordan Schultz
Hello Jordan,
Thanks for visiting my site often. I’m glad you find my blogs informative. Yes please update me of your status, I would love to hear that soon.
Have a nice day,
Ana
Absolutely FANTASTIC!
This is such a gem of resources for finding blogs, forums etc to comment in! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!
I also didnt realise that Squidoo was DoFollow – I was always under the assumption that it was a NoFollow.
Building links to my site manually is going to be a long journey and any help – such as this is SOOO appreciated.
Thankyou so much!
Jayne
Hello Jayne,
I’m glad you gain some helpful insights from this post. Building links really takes a lot of effort but I know you can do it.
All the best,
Ana
I actually have strategies to search do-follow blogs online. Well, to increase my websites traffic and keyword ranking.. I’ll definitely try the way you search though! and probably combine it to mine to be more accurate during the search! Thanks
Would love to know how you do it, but then again, you are probably not sharing.
Thanks for coming by!
Ana
Ana,
I am so lost with this. I have to admit, I am clueless on this topic. However, I will spend some time soon learning it. Thanks for the info.
I need a complete course on Links! LOL
Carol Perdue
Sounds like something I need to write.
I’ve had too many questions on this topic; seems like folks need a lot of help with it.
I’ll let you know if I come up with anything, Carol – meanwhile, one step at a time.
Ana
These work MOST of the time for my clients…although sometimes the niche is not one that is frequently blogged about…I have to get pretty creative when trying to think about “relevant” pages…I am surprised to learn that squidoos are often worthwhile…but glad to hear it! Thanks for the tip!
I can imagine it’s not always easy. Relevancy and high value don’t always go hand in hand.
Yes, Squidoo is great: DoFollow and high PR.
Glad to see you back, Cortney!
Ana
Yes, Ana, you did.
Thanks!
I think I’ve commented on this one already – but found it in my Tweet Deck. Which brings me to ask:
What are you using to generate your Twitter promo’s?
I use MarketMeSuite for that.
The reason: if you look under all my tweets, where in your case it would have a link back to Tweet Deck (right?), mine will show a clickable link back to Traffic Generation Cafe.
“The world’s most average blog”? Love it. I am more and more impressed with your copywriting skills, James; I think you and I need to talk barter.
Ana
Thanks for making me smile, Ana – but I don’t know what you’re talking about! You’re the pro. I’m still learnin’.
Which is why I’m hooked like a fish. It would be an honor and a privilege to work with you.
Hi Ana,
Love your blog & another great post, but I’m confused here. Just call me stupid! But when I find/search a blog with my keyword how do I utilise that? Should I post a comment with a link back to my site or include my keyword/anchor text?
Keep up the great work.
Great question, Kevin; glad you asked.
Yes, the point of this exercise is to create links back to your website.
As you I am sure know there are 2 ways of doing it with comments: one is to use your keyword in your name field and thus create anchor text when you enter your website. Many bloggers will send your comment into spam though if you use only your keyword instead of your name.
The second option of course is to somehow “weave” your keyword as anchor text into a comment – better way, but your comment stands a good chance of ending up in spam because of it.
Either way it’s tricky, but well-worth the effort.
I hope this answered your question; if not, please shoot me another comment.
Ana
Hi Ana,
i have to say, and i hope im not the only one because i’d be very embarrassed if i were, but im thoroughly confused as to how this works. maybe im a little slow, or its just the fact that ive never done link building before. you say to “copy & paste the entire code …” do you literally mean “site:.com inurl:blog “post a comment” …? and if so … where am i pasting it? or does something else go in place of that? if so, what? sorry to be so ignorant to this.
any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Bryan
Not at all, Bryan – I had all the same questions the first time I saw these codes.
The answer is: yes, you copy and paste the ENTIRE code the way it is with the only exception of replacing “add your keyword” with your actual keyword.
Let me break it down for you (it might make it easier once you understand what all parts mean):
site:.com – this part means that you are telling the search engines to search for .com sites only.
inurl:blog – that part of code tells the search engines to look for blogs only.
“post a comment” – this will narrow the search down to only those blog that allow comments.
-”comments closed” – tells the search engines to exclude the blogs that closed the comments (this the “minus” sign).
-”you must be logged in” – excludes the sites that require to log in before posting comments.
“ADD YOUR KEYWORD” – this is the only part you change to your own keyword.
You paste the entire code into the search box of any search engine.
Please feel free to ask more questions if this doesn’t make sense.
Ana
Ana, your reply here is phenomenal. Many “Guru’s” don’t like to take the time to explain the in between information, which makes it incredible difficult for a newbie to make the transition. Not only do you give a ton of hard to find great information on this post (and all your posts) but to take the time and really explain it, like you did in this comment is just beyond awesome!

Hey Ana, what a great time saver. With links being such an important part of SEO these are a huge help. Thanks so much for sharing
You are very welcome, Liz; I hope you’ll be able to use them to build an even better blog.
Ana
Hi Ana,
I just found your site today and the post title really grabbed me. After reading your post, it is the best post I have come across on the subject. Once I put this into practice, I will link back to this post on my blog so my readers can benefit from this great resource.
On a side note, I noticed that while you have many comments, shares, and tweets, there were zero Diggs (this is odd!) so I gave you your first one.
Best,
Zach
Glad you found me, Zach.
I guess my blog readers are not big on Digg, huh? Glad you got me started on that one.
Let me know how your blog linking goes.
Ana
Gosh Ana, have you revealed your secrets to link building or is it just one of them
I think this one way backlink codes you have are very useful for my backlink purposes. I haven’t actually tried it yet. Got to save this somewhere and make a note of it.
Oh yeah, can i quote you in a future blog post? I might wanna use some info that you have here.
I think I’ve got a few up my sleeves, Bryan!
You can absolutely use any of this info; sharing freely is what it’s all about.
Ana
Oh nice. I have a few of these codes I got from Ryan Dise but you have some other ones I haven’t used before. hahah, I’m gonna start with the squidoo ones first. Thanks! -David
You are welcome, David.
Yes, there are a few extra codes here that weren’t in Ryan’s report. Enjoy!
Ana
When I read an article like this, I realize how much I have to learn! I’ll be following you on both Twitter and FB. Thanks so much for this information.
You are very welcome, Sherryl – I think we ALL have a long ways to go no matter what stage we are in.
The industry is always changing and we have to stay on top of it!
On the other hand, that’s what makes it so interesting.
Ana
Ana,
Thanks for the tips…I’ve seen a few of these before, but not so many, all in one place. I just tried out the Squidoo search. I had seen the add to this list before in Squidoo but hadn’t researched how you actually do it. Here’s what I found:
You need to log in to Squidoo in order to Add to List.
Then just type in your url in the box. Squidoo will automatically generate your keyword from your blog post, but you’ll be able to change them.
Thanks again!
Glad you tried it out, Camden.
Yes, you are right, you need to be logged in to Squidoo in order to post links. But once you are in, the number of high PR pages they have is incredible!
Ana
Not only is this a very useful and helpful post, for me it’s new. I just tried out one method with one term and found a bunch of blogs that I had never visited before. Thanks for the great tips.
You are very welcome, Aaron; glad to hear I helped you find more linking connections.
Ana
keywork you give is very good for build backlink . thanks ana
Best
~ Hieu Martin
You are very welcome, Hieu.
Great info thanks for putting it all in one place. Some of this stuff can be confusing… So thank you again Ana
Confusing?… Definitely. But only in the beginning. Once you get your searches down, it becomes second nature.
It’s good to get the links for each post you publish, so as soon as your post is published set aside 30 min or so to do some link building to it.
Thanks for stopping by, guys!
Ana what a list of goodies you are giving away. That could be packaged and sold but you are the real deal when it comes to attraction marketing thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Steve, I try!
This is a really really good article Ana.
I think you have definitely proven to be one of the Bloggers who DO SEO and not one who TALKS about it a lot.
I got some really great tips from this post – and I honestly thank you for not only giving me some great insight, but also providing an awesome resource all in one place.
Definitely linking to this in the future
I certainly appreciate it, Alex, as I appreciate you stopping by my blog.
Talk soon!
Wow Ana,
It takes as long to read your comments as your post. You are attracting a great deal of interest with your jewels of knowledge. This link building list is going right to the top of my important “to do” list.
Thanks!
Thank you, Jym – I am glad I made it on your “important to-do list”.
Have a great weekend!
awesome read ana, super awesome info in this article
Thanks for the thumbs up, Kareem!
I’ve added to the list – before coming here I thought – yah. I know those already (*yawn!*)…nope! Taught again…well done! And thanks.
I’ve used ComLuv search operators for the 1200 links in 45 days at my blog (when it began) – really helped Alexa, but no other links means that my anchor texts are my verbose titles.
Anyhow, this good stuff as usual. I’m waiting to see when your idea basket runs out….???! How do you do that?
Ha-ha, don’t judge the book by its cover?
Let me know when I start boring you, James; that’s how I’ll know I need to refuel my idea supply.
Good to hear from you.
Great example of how to find quality link sources by exploiting footprints left behind by certain types of domains, web pages and content management systems. These are the kinds of tools that make link building much easier.
Absolutely, Kathy. The information is out there and these codes just make it easier for us to find it.
Thanks for coming by!
Hey Ana,
Yet more creative ways to build links to a website. Thanks for these tips. I especially liked the Squidoo stuff. I’ve forgotten about them in recent times. Thanks for the reminder.
Take care,
Wayne
Any time, Wayne.
I find it useful to have all these codes in one place; makes it hard to miss something that way.
Ana,
Brilliant content as always! As if I didn’t already have enough on my plate…now you’ve got me thinking about link building!!!
Cheers,
Karen
Don’t even get me started on it, Karen…
I have time (strike that, I MAKE time) to write blog posts, but don’t have time to actually do it myself. How sad…
