4/21/2008 Update: Right now, the site is redirecting to lifehack.org. Either the site has closed down, or the website was temporarily hacked. Try visiting listible.com and if it redirects you, then you can save your time by skipping this post, as it would be no longer valid.
For those of you who love building thousands of links from my different methods, you are in for another treat. While normally I blog about secret techniques that nobody else is talking about, this one has been a bit popular on Digitalpoint. I cannot take credit for this one (21/22 is a pretty good record I would say), I still want to tell you about it. Every single link counts and so I wanted to let those who haven’t heard about Listible join the fun.
Listible is a super simple website that displays lists about nearly everything. If you have a list about blog posts that are related to soccer, you can make a list for it. There are literally zero rules for what kind of lists you can build, meaning I can even make a list called Test List12345 when it has zero purpose. Well, make that one purpose. You can add “resources” to every list, which include a search engine friendly link to your favorite site! Since Listible is completely text (other than a logo), the search engines absolutely love it. Some pages are PR4-7 and you can put your link on all of them (so long as it is somewhat related). Otherwise you can make your own lists (some useful, some not). At any rate, more free PR4-7 links are always awesome so if you do not feel like spending $20-200/m on more links, go hit up Listible.
While Listible will be a great link building method for awhile, it already looks like it is getting a lot of porn spammers on it so do not expect this gravy train to stay. Until Google drops the hammer on this site, feel free to nuke it up with some of your links!
This is part 23 of my series called the link building cookbook that aims to be the ultimate free guide on how to build massive amounts of links without paying one penny!
That is a good site..truly helpful..I checked it out..lots of high PR pages..Thanks Collin
Sounds great sir, I always trust your link building methods. I will try and fire off that email regarding a guest post on my site feed flare to you tomorrow. Hey I know you post about linking mostly but I was wandering if you know of any good CPM ad networks to try out. I am having no luck with ppc at all and the other types where action is needed, well no one acts so….time to try something else.
At the moment I do not. I have tried a few back when I ran web proxies but none paid enough. I am experimenting with Adtoll’s CPC, but next month I might try different CPM based ones if I can find anything reasonable.
I am still very interested in Forbes’ CPM blogger ads network but details are scarce for it.
OMG! lol great minds! I was just blogging about flikr and listible links the other day on http://www.exposedseo.com
sounds great, oddly I am getting some hits with adtoll and I have only had them active for a few days. You should try there peal ad, wow is that cool.
and it looks like I might be on listable for a few days. I have added a forum to feed flare as well I am working on adding a directory as well. Just a few things to help my readers, I think if you added a forum to your site it would rock, but thats just my view.
I never knew about Listible, thanks for sharing. I’ve really liked your link building cookbook series. It contains really valuable practical information, not just theories…
Thanks for the great tips…My goodness another do-follow list building yupiee
Right now the site is rather sloppy. No matter what the “List” is, it’s loaded with spam ads for casinos and other things.
I was thinking it was going to be more of a DIGG site for List Posts. That would be interesting, but this looks like a huge potential for spamming.
Thank you very much. I’m now visiting your site everyday.
A new favorite for helping me jump the SERPs
Thanks for the info. Although it is sad to know that the said site is being exploited. Hope there would a be an internet regulation board to address such problem.
this was really helpful to me. thanks for sharing this in the link building cookbook… Going to create some lists now .. lol
It’s no longer working and redirects at other URL.
Just as you updated on this page , Now the site is working fine and no redirects but on 21 april 08 it is not.
now it is working fine
Good info! i was really fascinated by description. But the site link is not working ! is it dead link?
Hey Collin and fellow readers, it seems Listable is back in action!
Hi Collin, I am going through Listable.com and it seems that none of there pages have page rank except for the home page. If none of the pages have page rank is this really a long term solution?
