I have previously written about various queries that you can use to find some good places for link building.  One of these was a Dofollow Link Building Query.  Also, another one that was a guest post on Why CommentLuv Will Expand Your Link Building Efforts, mentioned a great Google query to find more ways to build backlinks.

Well, the boys over at Exposed SEO have compiled a massive list of just search queries in order to find places to build more backlinks to your website.  Now, by massive, I mean massive.  The grand total?  14,780 queries!  That’s just insane!  A lot of them are pretty similar, but they are all unique, and can be used to find places for link building.

Now, you may be tempted to go spam all of the sites you find.  I don’t condone spamming.  It’s lame, and really, if you build relationships with sites and continually post, then you’ll be able to get more and more links, instead of posting a link once and moving on.

All of that being said, enjoy this massive list!  Happy Link Building!

People LOVE social media sites, and if people can find dofollow social media sites for link building, then they jump all over it!  I have previously written about the top dofollow social media sites, and two up and coming dofollow social media sites.  (For those who don’t know what dofollow is and why dofollow is important, please read my article entitled: What is DoFollow? What is NoFollow? Follow Along and See.)

I have a few more of these dofollow social media sites for you to enjoy.  Some of you may already know of these sites.  Sorry in advance.  But, there are many people brand new to link building and seo and sem, and may not know of these sites.

Just submit your article to these social media sites for some nice backlinks.

Click here to read from the beginning of the internal link building series.

I’m not going to go into the importance of building internal links, (for that, click above for the whole series), but I just want to let you know, it’s important!  For a brief description, internal link building is building links between the pages or posts on your website or blog, in order for better reader usability, and for better search engine crawling.

The problem I have when doing internal link building is that I usually link to the same sites.  You’ll probably find tons of links to my What Is DoFollow? What Is NoFollow? post and of course tons of links to DoFollow Diver.  But, I have almost 50 posts, but I link to the same handful all of the time.  Although that’s really building up THOSE pages, other, perfectly great posts, aren’t getting the exposure they deserve.

Well, I found out a way to see which sites are being neglected when it comes to internal link building.  That tool, is Google Webmaster Tools…

Follow these steps:
1) Choose which site (your site should be already added to GWT, if not, add it….)
2) Click “Links” on the left sidebar.
3) Click “Pages with internal links.”
4) Then, look in the “internal links” column and see which posts have the least amount of internal links.

For me, Dofollow Diver has 70 links on my site…. whereas The Ultimate List of CommentLuv Blogs and How NOT to Build Backlinks only have less than 7 links each! That’s 1/10th of the amount of internal links! They don’t all have to be equal, but it definitely helps me to identify what pages I should link to more.

I hope this really helps you to build more backlinks to your internal pages. It sure has enlightened me, and makes me remember that I have many posts that I can link to and share with my readers.

When commenting for backlinks, don’t just stick to one set of keywords and one URL. If you didn’t know, I am a huge fan of commenting on dofollow blogs in order to get solid backlinks to your site. In fact, I even created a list of blogs with dofollow in my search engine called DoFollow Diver, in order assist people in getting more backlinks to their site.

But, when commenting, we can get stuck in the ritual of using the same keywords for our name … probably our main keyword. We also can get stuck in building links to only our main index page, and not to various pages throughout our site. I am guilty of this for sure.

But, it’s not maximizing the benefit we can get to our site. So, here are a few of the reasons it is necessary to build links with different keywords and to different pages on your site, not just the index:

1) Your inner pages may be more relevant to a certain page you’re commenting on.
I often live by the motto… “Any link is a good link.” But, not every link is a GREAT link, and some only give just a little bit of a boost, nothing much to make any type of difference. If you have a post about dofollow blogs search engines on your dofollow blog, and I go and comment on that blog with my main index page, I’ll get SOME relevance, but not too much. But, if I leave a comment with the Dofollow Diver URL, then I’ll have much more relevance and the link will be worth a lot more, even though it’s the same page, one link is just a lot more relevant. When commenting on a post, think about what the most relevant blog post of yours is, and use that to comment with.

2) Linking only to your homepage doesn’t look natural.
Yah, a majority of the times, when people link to your site, they link to the homepage of your site… but NOT always. But, if you are always using your main index URL when commenting, that won’t look natural. Instead, mix it up… in addition to the relevance reason above, the diversification effect will also help you. It will help you to rank for some longer tail keywords that you may or may not be targetting. You should probably aim for about 75% to your main index page, and about 25% to your internal pages. These aren’t hard numbers, and you need to experiment with what works best for you.

3) More organic traffic.
Ultimately, the main goal of building links, is to increase search engine traffic. But, the more links your page is on, the more exposure you have from people wanting to click on those links. To use the example from the first point, if I am commenting on a blog post about dofollow blog search engines, and I comment with the inlineseo.com URL, then yah, some people might click through, but not too many. But, if I comment with the dofollow diver URL, and use the name “dofollow blogs search engine” people who are at the blog post looking for dofollow blog search engines may very well click through on my comment URL, giving me more visitors, more subscribers, and more people able to click on ads, ultimately meaning more money for me.

So when commenting, and posting your URL somewhere, don’t just use your main index page, use the most relevant page on your site, and then use that to post the link, in order to increase your search engine rankings, in order to make it look more natural, and to ultimately drive more traffic to your site.

Here’s an easy way to find dofollow blogs. This is for Firefox users only. If you don’t use Firefox, I’m sorry, but you should, because there’s many addons such as the one I am about to describe, that can help to increase it’s functionality. If you use another browser, maybe look for a similar plugin for your browser.

For an easy, for sure way to tell if a link is nofollow or not, is to first install a program called Stylish. You can download Stylish here. rel Stylish allows you to change the CSS of one single site, or for all sites, or for just certain aspects of sites. Say that you really want to have the H1 tag of every site to stand out, you can modify the H1 tag to stand out anyway you want.

In order to find nofollow links, we’re going to modify how any A tag (the HTML link tag) with “nofollow” in it looks. The problem with many of the other nofollow checkers, is that they don’t properly decipher rel=”external nofollow” or any other REL tag modifiers in addition to nofollow. So if you are using another nofollow checker, you may actually be wasting your time on sites that don’t pass authority.

So, once you’ve installed Stylish, you’ll be able to modify all of the A tag’s with nofollow in it, whether it is external nofollow or just nofollow. Once Stylish is installed, you will see it in the bottom right hand side of the status bar. Right click on it, and go to “Manage Styles.” Click on “Write…” Add the following code as a new style:

a[rel~=nofollow] {
background-color: pink !important;
color: black !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
text-decoration: underline !important;
border-style: solid !important;
border-top-width: thin !important;
border-bottom-width: thin !important;
border-right-width: thin !important;
border-left-width: thin !important;
}

After adding that code, Make the description say “Nofollow”… Save it as “Nofollow” or something to that effect. Then, right click on the Stylish icon in the bottom right side of the Status Bar. Then go to “Global Styles.” Then choose the “Nofollow” style (or if it’s already clicked, just leave it), and there you have it! All NoFollow links will be pink in color. To check, scroll to the bottom of this page, and look in my footer. Some of the links will be pink (the ones that are nofolllow) and some of them will be the regular color (dofollow).

And there ya go! You no longer have to rely on an addon that doesn’t decipher all instances of rel=”nofollow” correctly, nor do you have to go to view the source code and find the exact link every time. If it’s pink it’s nofollow, if it’s not pink, it’s dofollow!
