A week has gone by since I started my new link building strategy and I wanted to share my results and what I have been doing over the past week to get these results.
A brief recap:
So last week I posted on how I thought my link building campaign needed to be revved up because whatever strategy I was using before just wasn’t “paying the bills” so to speak. My total back links to my home page according to Yahoo was 1335 and to this blog was 792. That didn’t seem to good to me after almost a year of trying to pick up back links. This last week I have been focusing 95% efforts on getting back links to this blog and the other 5% to my home page.
One other reason I really wanted to step up my link building is because my PR went from 2 down to 0, and still no PR for this blog. How or why that happens after all my efforts is beyond me. I guess I just need to do better…and I will.
Current Stats:
As you can see I have made quite a bit of progress in just 7 days. My home page now has 1358 back links. Thats up 23. This blog now has 1991. And that is up 1199 back links!
Not too bad for only a week…1222 more back links in 7 days, and that averages out to be just over 174 a day! It took me almost a year to get those same numbers.
How did I do it? What’s the secret?:
Two words… blog commenting. I really have been underestimating the power of commenting on other blogs. I mean I always knew you could pick up back links doing so but had no idea it was that POWERFUL. It is, and there is a specific strategy I used…
What I did was find a list of niche specific or like wise blogs that have the “do follow” tag. Then I narrowed that list of blogs down to the blogs that have the “top commenter” section on their blog. (I believe the top commenter is just available for certain themes or it may be a plug in. Ill be adding it to this blog asap.)
Once I had that list I went to town commenting on each blog day after day until my name, with a back link to this blog was featured on the “top commenter” section. Once it’s there it is a site wide link. That means my back link is included on every page that blog has. Some sites have hundreds of pages giving me that many back links instantly. Now that is powerful!
Here’s a list I got from fellow blogger and PIPSter Peter Lee and his Work From Home Business Blog: Thanks Peter! Ill be adding to it as I see fit.

Be warned though, if you are going to use this strategy, be sure to leave meaningful comments and DON’T SPAM!
That’s all. The secret is out. Use this powerful link building strategy to your advantage and start picking up some massive back links today. I’ll be back a week from now to let you know how this strategy is working and I’ll keep you up to date with everything else as well.
