One Way Links
Written by ady on May 21, 2009 – 3:40 pm -It’s pretty much a given that anyone who has been trying to make money online for more than 5 minutes now understands that the only thing that matters is getting one way links. Unlike most previous theories though, one way links doesn’t require you to purchase an ebook to understand how or why it works.
A one way link is counted as a vote. How much that vote is worth will depend on the popularity of the page that gives the link and whether its on a topic related to the page it is linking to.
Pretty simple and straight forward right? The problem though is when people actually try to aquire these one way links. How do you convince people to let you have a link when they probably understand the value of that link to you?
You should think of one way link building as a 3 tier system. There are low, middle and high quality links.
Low quality one way links. There is a saying that no link is a bad link and these are your low quality links which you can easily get yourself. Social bookmarking, answering questions on Yahoo, forum signatures, article submission, blog comments etc.
Middle quality one way links. Create a Squidoo lens, a Blogger blog, a Wetpaint site etc. and point a one way link from them to your money pages. All of these Web 2.0 sites are respected by Google and it costs nothing more than your time.
High quality one way links. These are from sites that have high page rank and are closely related to the topic of your own site. To get a one way backlink from a page like this is next to impossible unless you are prepared to pay.
This is because most of the webmasters who own pages with high page ranks know how the system works. They’ve slogged their guts out getting 100’s of low quality links, building dozens of Squidoo and blogger pages to build middle quality links and paid for several high quality one way links.
Link Structure. This is how I organize my link structure because it works for me. I’m not saying its the best but I will say with confidence that it is a million miles away from being the worst.
Google doesn’t like to see anything unnatural. A new 5 page website selling the latest acne treatment which suddenly gets a pile of backlinks is not natural.
I put the money site up and then build a Squidoo Lens, a Blogger blog and a few others. Squidoo and the other Web 2.0 sites can absorb a quick influx of links so I can point several bookmarks to these and submit a few articles to Article Marketing Automation to get the ball rolling.
With a little work you can soon get these some PR, especially if you get active within the communities of the Web 2.0 sites (get a top 10 Lens rank within Squidoo in your category and you will soon be climbing Google).
While I am building up the PR of my Web 2.0 sites I will add no more than 1 or 2 low quality links per day to my money page so that it looks natural.
As each of the Web 2.0 sites earn some PR I will add a link within the text to my money page, again though slowly to keep it looking natural, perhaps 1 a week.
If I did my keyword research correctly and checked out my competition strength before starting, this should get me at least a top 20, hopefully a top 10 in Google.
For the final push to get the top spot I choose a few one way links on several related sites that have good to high page rank. I get these from Backlinks.com where I can pick up 5 PR4 links for around $20 bucks a month which is an absolute bargain when you see some companies charging 10 times that amount.
From start to finish takes me 3 to 4 months for a keyword with moderate competition, 9 to 12 for moderate to high.

I totally agree with this blog post. Backlinks are critical in order to achieve higher ranking on search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo. Not only does this improve your ranking but it can generate better traffic and ultimately an increase in revenue. Kudos on the blog post.
