Backlink sources

Ok, so I’m back into the linking thing again. Hardly any webmaster can say that he doesn’t need backlinks. For most webmasters, backlinks that stay where you put them are the most sought after commodity. Makes no difference what color your hat is, you still need backlinks.

Blackhats (usually) need more links -quicker- than than the regular old stick in the mud whitehat spammer. Experienced blackhats will script a solution for dropping links, whether they write it themselves or have someone else do it.

A problem. If there is a known source of backlinks, common blackhats will spam it to death. In a matter of weeks or less.

Forum spam, guestbook spam, bulletin board spam, comment spam, yadayada spam, they’ve all been overworked. They may still work a little, but not like they once did.

So, what’s an honest blackhat to do?

Find other paths to walk, says I.

I know a guy who is a black-hearted blackhat if there ever was one. A consumate programmer, free thinker, and slightly off-beat, but he’s one of the best at this game. I’ll call him ChiefCheese because I haven’t bothered to ask him if it is alright to say things behind his back.

So, what does ChiefCheese have to do with backlinks?, you asked. He knows how and where to get’em, says I.

ChiefCheese writes a slightly bent version of a blog. You’ll see why I say that when you visit his site and read some. Now this blog is more like the sites I used to visit in the ‘olden days’. No style sheet. No images (really should have some pixilated stuff on it). No blogroll. No advertising. Nothing but his thoughts on a lot of diverse subjects.

One of his latest subjects is titled Getting Backlinks Through Popular Clone Scripts. ChiefCheese says some things that should start your gears to turning.

One thing about the blog that you should be aware of: If you find a post that you want to come back to, bookmark it. Else when you go to the index page, you’ll have to go to the end of the post, and click on the previous entry to find what you want.

If you are like me you are always interested in ways (and means) to gather more and better backlinks. You should go read the post I linked to above.
