Backlinks Magic with Magic Backlinks

My thanks and a tip of the old osoi boshii to Michael Martinez, of SEO Theory fame, for his recent post titled Palindromic SEO makes SEO palindromic. As usual, I get gears turning when I read, and understand, his sometimes offbeat post titles. The potential really didn’t become apparent until later. Well done Michael.

Backlinks Magic with Magic Backlinks

So what is this Backlinks Magic, and what does it have to do with Magic Backlinks? Ya, I’m gonna optimize this post for those terms. It’s a test, so stay with me. OK?

As you are no doubt aware, backlinks are the lifeblood of most websites. Backlinks from trusted pages, with really relevant anchor text, that pass (true) page rank (the juice), are what I call “MAGIC BACKLINKS“.

The Magic part of these backlinks is what they can mean to your position in the serps. I have witnessed the movement of a page from number 17 (in Giggle) to number 4 in only two weeks time. That’s a huge movement in a really short time.

How did this come about, you asked? Quite simply, says I.

Backlinks Magic

Yep, it’s backlinks magic at work. You see, my associate was trying very hard to get his new merchant site ranked. He tried the usual tactics like, link exchanges, directory listings, blog comments, well, you know the list.

His site was fully spidered, all the pages were in the index, but could not get ranked on the first page of Giggle. I was involved with writing articles and submitting them all over the web as well as posting one per day on the site itself.

MSN was pretty impressed, Yahooie was indifferent, Giggle was not impressed. Enter Backlinks Magic.

My friend decided to take a flyer and purchased a site wide link on a (foolbar) pr 8 site. The links were of the text variety and the site used a rotator system so the links had ten or so different, but related, sets of anchor text. That, my friend found out, is real backlinks magic.

The combination of BACKLINKS MAGIC and MAGIC BACKLINKS paid off very, very well.

So, how do you get a site wide backlink from a pr 8 page? Damned if I know. If I did, I wouldn’t have time to write drivel like this.

I suppose the real answer is to make your own source for backlinks magic. Make your very own pr8 page(s) and provide your other sites with magic backlinks.  All it would take is one backlink from a pr 9 page.  lol, yeah right.

A few others have been writing about backlinks lately. Not necessarily magic backlinks, and they don’t spell out the backlinks magic formula, but they do have some different ideas you could consider in your backlink building exercises.

Esrun posted about a way to get free pr backlinks a while back. Here is a snippet from that post:

The basic idea is to look for forum posts which already have PR, we then signup to the forum and post a relevant message on the post. After a day or two, we return to the post and edit it to include our link.

The method Esrun outlines doesn’t seem to lend itself to automation, but still ought to provide you some nice backlinks with your choice of anchor text.

Next up is Eli over at BluehatSEO. He has help develop a plugin for WordPress that promises to get you some good backlinks automagically.

Every time you make a post on your blog it grabs similar posts from other blogs that allow pingbacks using the post tags. It then links to them at the bottom of the post as similar posts. It then executes the pingback on all the posts………This creates quite a few deep links for each blog post you make and through time really helps with your link building.

I’m impressed with this idea. I always like the autoloader principle, especially when it comes to backlinks. I haven’t tried the plugin yet, I may get to it soon.

That wraps up another session on backlinks and backlink building.

See you around..
