Unasked: An Online Profile for Getting a Backlink

Submitted by R.J. Breakaway Adams on Friday, 4 April 20085 Comments

Recently I wrote about using your online profiles for link building. The basic premise is that everywhere you have a profile online that allows you to put a website address on it, you should, since that will be one more backlinks to your site.

As I was reading one of the blogs I am subscribed to, I came across a post about an online profile you can create, which has your backlink on it. This site was Unasked, a Yahoo! Answers type website, where you can answer people’s questions. Although, if you answer a question with a link to your site, the link is “nofollow” (What is nofollow?) so it doesn’t quite count as a backlink for Google. But, every time you answer a question, it links to your profile, which contains the “dofollow” link to your website, with the anchor text of your choice. So, go and answer some questions, and increase your backlinks with this awesome one way link building method. Check out my link building on my Unmasked profile.

This site exemplifies a great link building concept I will be writing on in the near future. The basic premise is that if you build links to your site using promotional pages, then you should also be building links back to those promotional pages, in order to make the link to your original site even more effective. I’ll write about this in the next few weeks.
