Link Building Tip: Free Backlinks For Everyone With Blogs

Submitted by R.J. Breakaway Adams on Saturday, 3 May 200833 Comments

While I was checking a site’s backlinks this weekend, I found a few places that are good to add your site to, in order to get some easy one way backlinks. These sites aren’t going to boost you to #1 by themselves, but they will definitely help out, and one will even give you some great exposure. Also, two of them are PR 5 and above. They are all free backlinks and easy to get.

Top of Blogs
This is my favorite find this weekend for 2 reasons. 1) I just got a pr 5 backlink on a pr 5 site. And, 2) I haven’t seen any other bloggers writing about this site, so that makes me feel special, or something.

This is a normal Top List blog ranking service… except that it’s a PR 5 and some of the first pages of the categories have a higher Page Rank (such as the SEO section that I am linked on.) You add your blog, then add their little button to your website, and there you go! You get a backlink on their site! Best of all, the link is a dofollow link. (What is dofollow?) You can’t complain getting free backlinks!

Globe of Blogs
This site lists blog owners and their blogs by city, state, and birthday. It is a PR 6 and some of their inside pages have higher PR. It depends on your country, city and state, and also your birthday. But, as the site keeps going through PageRank updates, it’ll continue to give some good pagerank to their internal pages.

UPDATE: I removed the free backlinks opportunity that was an auto-approve directory… the submit link page wasn’t working, and it’s probably not the best idea anyway.  Please use the above two strategies anyway… they can get you some good PR backlinks.

    Wow, another great list, I plan to take advantage of it.

    As Mark said, “Thanks a bunch man. :)”

    The last one I’m not sure about though.

    Never go for auto approval directories, never!
    I have to suggest this because they are becoming a big load of spam. This is really true as i myself had an auto approval directory which i never used to moderate, just used to see how well it is being spammed.

    I saw top of blogs and signed up today before you even made this post. I saw it while looking for mentions of the “dofollow diver” for my blog post.

    My hope is that he realizes it’s being spammed and then goes to admin-edited… and then my site’s on there already. =)

    Globe of Blogs looks interesting. Seems like it’s a “Yellow Pages” specific to blogging. Like Grant said though, I’m a little worried about the last one.

    Did anyone notice that the Link Submission Form at “GetFreeLinks” is broken?
    It keeps telling me that my “URL is not valid”

    I deleted my link to that page…. I probably shouldn’t have linked to it in the first place… But hey, I’m learning too, just like the rest of you… I teach you guys as I learn and find great opportunities.

  • Gadgets said:

    Breakaway as usual you this post is also unique and proved helpful not only to me but all the viewers and commenters. Both are helpful to me but if i would ask to select one then second one is more helpful to me.
    Breakaway……………. Always coming with fresh and new ideas. Now i am feeling jealous on you. LOL.

    Thanks

  • Lill Hawkins said:

    I just added you to my favorites. Lots of good stuff here and I could use it. I went from a blogspot blog with a PR of 8 to my own wordpress blog and now I’m slogging my way back up again. The irony is that I didn’t even try to get a good PR with the blogspot blog, which was “a mostly humorous look at unschooling and family life”. I just posted away, added whoever I liked to my blogroll, posted to some home schooling and family life carnivals and shot up to PR8 in about a year or less.

    Now, I have three self-hosted wordpress blogs and only one of them, Lill’s List, is getting any traffic. I find it really strange that the blogspot blog I put the least effort into did the best.

    Shine On,
    Lill
