Magical SEO Site – Part Two
July 21st, 2009 | by Conrad Walton |I don’t think I was clear in the post below about one part of the process.
The goal in high school was to get the friends of the people you wanted to like you to like you first. Then they would get those people to like you too.
Don’t go after the target first. Go after the friends of the target.
You want to get links from people who link to your competitors, not so much directly from your competitors. That wouldn’t be bad. It would actually be great, but not as easy to do.
Use Site Explorer to explore your competitors in-bound links. Find out who links to them, then make efforts to get them to link to you also. If they like what your competitors have, they should like what you have also.
This is a flanking attack instead of the frontal attack, and by “attack”, I mean “love”.
Methods to get people to link to you include: linking to them, commenting on their site, writing posts about them that link to them, and possibly emailing them. Make it real. Make it personal. Make it valuable for them. You be nice and, generally, they’ll be nice back.
Hope the clears things up a bit.
