How to Get Our Links on Other Sites?

23 Jul 13 4:34 am

Hi Jason,

Websites usually refer to each other because they either like the content on the other site, they used the information on the page they're referring to on their own, or they exchanged links with each other.

If someone goes on to Squidoo and likes your article that is published on Squidoo, then they could share that on their site and link to your article on Squidoo from their site. They don't need your permission to do so and would probably use the following code:

<a href="the link to your Squidoo article"> Anchor Text </a>

That would make whatever anchor text they put in clickable and refer the user to your Squidoo page.

If they go further and discover your main site through Squidoo and like an article on your main site, then they would link directly to that page using the same code.

Conversely, you can do the same to sites you like and sites that you use as reference.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

Hi Jason,

They only need the URL or direct link of the page within your site they want to link to. For example, if you want to link to this particular post from your site, then you only need to use the code

<a href="https://www.affilorama.com/forum/seo/how-to-get-our-links-on-other-sites-t24821.html">This is my post in Affilorama Forum</a>

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

Question.
I had a Google re-shuffle where a yellow page.com has moved above my web site. For the last 3 weeks, i have been anchor text linking. I think this was a quick re-shuffle. What else can i be doing?
I know this takes time to re-adjust

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry, I do not understand your inquiry:

For the last 3 weeks, i have been anchor text linking. I think this was a quick re-shuffle. What else can i be doing?

Do you mean what else you can be doing apart from anchor text linking? If so, there are different methods of link building you can try like article submission, blog and forum posting as well as social media marketing.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

Hi Chris,

Good of you to come out and ask directly. Links from this forum are NOT followed, which means they do not pass on any Pagerank to your site.

You might still get people clicking through who are interested in having their income tax needs sorted in California (looking at the info in your footer), but it won't help from an SEO perspective.

The forum comes up when you search for your domain name because you've got your domain name listed in your footer on this forum. You essentially ask Google "find me pages with http://www.taxprepfillmore.com/ on it" and Google dutifully shows you the pages that have your domain name written on it.

When you search in Google for your domain name you will always find your own domain right at the top. Nobody else has your domain name, that's why!

HOWEVER.

If you're wanting to get visitors to your website, that isn't really going to help. People won't be searching for your domain name, they'll be searching for something like "tax preparer california". When someone searches for THAT, you want your page to show up in Google. People don't generally search for your domain name unless they already know about you.

A "followed" link to your website from another website, blog or forum is like a vote that says "this tax website is good". Google looks at those votes and (to be very brief) makes the pages with a lot of votes appear closer to the top of the search engines.

But because all links in this forum are no-followed, it means that none of the links count as votes, so they won't help your website to appear closer to the top of the search engines.

You'll still always rank well for your domain name, and if you search for your domain name you will find all the websites that mention your domain name. But that doesn't mean that the links are giving your website any votes.

I don't believe you're allowed to use HTML in your forum signature here (so no anchor text), but it doesn't make any difference anyhow because the links would still be no-followed. It still wouldn't count as a vote, and it wouldn't help you rank any better for the words in the anchor text.

The nofollow attribute was created (round 2005ish?) because a lot of webmasters were doing just what you're wanting to do: Going into blog comments or posting on forums just to get links to their sites to help them rank better in the search engines. Now that most forums and blogs automatically nofollow their links the only real benefit to doing this is that the occasional person might click on the link and visit your site. And for that to be any good, your site needs to be pretty relevant to those people on the forum or blog.

For instance... I don't expect there will be a whole rush of Affilorama members interested in tax preparation in Fillmore, California. Sorry :)

Hi Paul,

"Aletta , since blogs and forums are no-follow now where do you recommend getting good links from now a days?"

I'm sure Aletta will have a few sources to site, but I think that looking for do-follow sites to build backlinks on is futile at this point. Search engines give more weight to relevance now as well as user votes (when they share your link on Twitter or other social media site for example) so I would build links on where I can build a relationship too like social media sites, or blogs and sites within my site's niche/community.

If you have Premium membership, then you might want to take a look at the Affilotools Link Finder function as well. It helps you find sources of good links you can build your own links from: Announcing The AffiloTools Link Finder

My two cents. :) Have a good day!

Websites usually link to each other normally be named the friendly links, they are useful for SEO of your website, but please note, the friendly links you'll find should be a health web,and it also should use a normall hosting.

Content relevancy and PR of the contributor site are key factors to grow link juice that makes sense of pure SEO in site. This is my first time enjoying the forum text here. Nice supports from staff that fascinates to visit repeatedly.

I don't think that Google takes a links PR as being as important as it used to. I have even read that a pages PR can be faked. Anyway, from what I have found in the past few years there seems to be a simple breakdown of how Google views a pages PR.

1. If a page has no PR the link is ignored.

2. A page with 0 PR (meaning that the page has some PR just not enough to be a PR 1, 0 PR means the page may be a . 5 PR page) up to say a PR 3 page are pretty much the same.

3. PR 4-6 are pretty much the same.

4. PR 7-9 are pretty much the same.

5. PR 10 pages are in a class of there own.

This is not verified by Google but it seems to be the case. So I wouldn't pay too much attention to a pages PR as long as it has some PR.

Never Give Up!!!!
