Welcome back! This is Part 5 of my Legitimate Home Internet Business -Link Building Strategy Post Series. I hope that you’ve found my last 4 posts to be helpful and were able to pick up some tips for your own work at home business. With that said, let’s dive in….

Create two site maps - one for Search Engines (Google Sitemaps) in xml format and the other one for your visitors

1. Install CommentLuv Plugin
CommentLuv is a Wordpress plugin that grabs the last post by commentors and appends it to their comment, thus giving them a backlink to their site. Clearly this means that you are getting an additional back link for every blog comment you now make. Incidentally the plugin owner just announced you can soon define a default post for your site url so it shows that instead of your latest post when you comment on a CommentLuv site or see a list of the last 10 blogs you commented. Time taken to install it on your wordpress blog: 5 minutes.

Let’s stop for a second and think what this means for you. When you offer CommentLuv on your blog, you are actually answering the “What’s in it for me to comment on your blog?” question many readers like to ask. Personally it works for me too and it’s a great way to get direct deep linkbacks to your site. I have a daily mental to-do checklist, which includes 10 blogs to comment. Now hypothetically, if I’m on my 10th comment, who do you think I will post it to, one with CommentLuv or another without?

Another great comment-related plugin you can check out which I’m using is: Top Commentators Widget. Find out why at one time, I was like a frantic blogger trying to get to number one “Top Commentators” of my favorite blogs. At that time, I had an intuition that it was good for search engine ranking. But just last week I read from Yan’s ThouShallBlog that it’s not a hunch. It’s true!

2. Ask me to do a link exchange

. Better still link to me first and then ask me to link back. Here is a link exchange sample script that you can use:

#1 ~Visit Their Link Page & Email Recieved Request - Add - Send Email~
I visited your link page at http://www.____ and I am sending my info as requested.
I placed your link http://www.____ at Google PR __ http://www.____ , permanently 1 click away from Home Page - let me know if your site’s info is correct.
Could you place my link on a PR __ page 1 click away from your Home Page and reply?
In return, I’ll keep your link on my good page.
My link info:
My link info:
url: http://www.____
title: ____
desc: ____

Do not underestimate the effectiveness of such manual link exchanges. Many people just shun at link exchanges. I used to feel this way too. But ever since I started having a link building strategy in place I do see its value in a much bigger picture and how it can help me achieve the desired result I want for my legitimate home internet business. If you’ve seen an SEO Checklist used by experienced webmasters, you will know just what I mean. Another aspect of what this can do for you is that it helps you build a rapport with many new bloggers, with increased online home business opportunities and possible joint ventures. If you are now convinced that you really need a proven link building strategy, such link exchanges should be a part of what you do everyday just like blog commenting. It’s a good idea to create a simple SEO Link Building checklist to follow.

3. Write posts using keywords in the title.

Whenever you write a new post, your objective in link building perspective is really to garner more linkbacks to your post. If and when people do linkback to you, it is likely that they will use the title to make the link. Choosing keywords in your title makes lots of sense and you can be sure that you will get more backlinks if you spend a little more time on it using this technique. Your title that you’ve chosen should ideally be compelling, thought provoking, or makes people incredibly curious as to the content of your post. Sometimes I think it’s a little phycological. No one wants to ignore and not knowing what they’ve missed. If you’ve got a title like ” How To Earn a Six Figure Income from Blogging in Two Easy Steps“, don’t you think people will be extremely curious to find out for themselves and feel like clicking the link. Well it looks like you too can’t wait to find this out for yourself. So go right ahead…. enjoy reading it and find out the answer to: “How to Earn a Six Figure Income from Blogging in Two Easy Steps“.

In a 1000-word article with a 10-word title, the 10 words in the title are probably more important than the next 1000.

4. Acquire 5 Quality Backlinks a week

for each site that you maintain focusing first on sites that are doing well in search engines. This brings in more online traffic than trying to quick start a new site and experienced webmasters who do website tracking (Google Analytics) have said so too. As search engines update their rankings on average every 10 days (more for Google and less for Yahoo, MSN), obtaining five quality backlinks a week for one site is therefore good enough.

5. Create new, cheap domains and web hosting

by purchasing and owning them. Search for free hosting pages, free websites and maintain them at established sites including blogs, groups, forums and subdomains. Although most free sites have slightly lower quality because its index pages are not pointing to your homepage, experienced webmasters are happy with them usually owning more than 10 of them. They know that as the sites grow older, they gain better search engine quality. These sites can also be used for your 3 way link exchanges that you do with other bloggers so that they can improve on their page rankings.

6. Why a Website Ranks High:

This is a list of contributing factors to your legitimate home internet business website getting a high search engine ranking. This list is found in an SEO Specialist website:

30% because of old Backlinks
25% because of new Backlinks
15% because of regular updates
10% because it offers a useful service or resource
5% because of good title and meta tags description
5% because of keywords in content on page
3% because of minimizing, removing outbound links not working
3% because of HTML write-up validating
2% because of minimizing HTML bytes
1.5% because of other SEO
0.5% because of good keyword meta tag

7. At least half of all your newly acquired backlinks must point to your inside pages(non-home). Also, as mentioned in my other Link Building Strategy posts, do remember that any inside pages linking to your other inside pages at the same site do count as backlinks too. It is therefore very important that your pages contain links to your other inside pages as well.
Secret Tip: Place a link to a few of your inside pages from your legitimate home internet business page and from half your inside pages within the top 17 to 300 words in the main body. This should increase your pagerank on the next PR update.
