Cancer Treatment asks:
1.) 1 or 2 of your favorites sites to give your new site quick link juice.
- Aboutus.org
- Run it through 10 socialmarker.com sites
2.) In the beginning do you want to build links to the homepage or internal pages in order to rank easier and faster for a specific term?
I have always been a believer in building links to both internal pages as well as the homepage, but more focused on building trust to the domain so that every page ranks higher individually.
Rakesh asks:
I just saw that your Super Nintendo Console site has got a PR2, but it has no Google backlinks, could you exlpain how this happens?
Google does not publicly display their up-to-date backlinks unless you are looking in Google Webmaster Tools. Your best bet is to use a link:supernintendoconsole.com command into a Yahoo.com search.
TheAnand asks:
Which are the best ways to build links to the inner pages?
Social media and social bookmarking websites are all very easy to use and allow for deep-linking articles of any kind. Those would be your best place to start.
Imblogger asks:
I have a site which was doing fine with paid directory backlinks and it got PR1 and was indexed on first page of Google until Google changed the algorithym and I am unable to get my site on 1st page again.
Google is constantly changing, and I cannot give you a simple reason. You have to keep writing content and building links and you will eventually see your rankings improve. Read my website marketing success post for more detail.

Build more links to internal pages, submit a sitemap to google, and build a stronger pagerank to the homepage.
Sacramento Weddings asks:
Hey Colin, have you gotten your free University web page yet? I’ve been ragging on my UC Berkeley daughter to get the free web page that all UC university students are entitled to!
Nope, I read the terms of service and they were strongly against the sites I would use it for. I thought about it though!

If anyone has any other link building questions, feel free to ask.
These are great questions and answers. Thanks for recommending aboutus.org. I hadn’t heard of that site before. Thanks for sharing your knowlege with us!
I haven’t really got any questions, but I would likd to know since you seem to be an experienced blogger if you have any tips on optimising your site to convert visitors to regular readers or subscribers.
useful and quality content is the solution..also a contest or a tutorial series will be great..
Thanks for answering the question. Most of the questions are quite general with the masses so they can help many people at a time.
Joel, I’ll add my .02, the best thing you can do is bring value to the reader. I subscribe to over 200+ blogs and the reason being is because I find value in them. Take your time a make high quality content. Focus on quality instead of quantity.
Hi Colin, I have a question:
What is the best way to start promoting and backlinking your brand new site over the first week after launch?
Thanks,
Paolo
Thanks so much for this information. I’m learning every day a bit more!
Very nice. I like how you’ve shown a simple way to find the edu. and gov. links. In the search I’ve already found several sites that are of interest and not just for link building.
I’ll give Social Marker another shot. I now see the advantages that I didn’t see before. I’ve been using Shareaholic for Firefox which is also convenient.
thanks for answering my questions, but my accounts seem to get banned from social media sites as soon as I submit them! I have no idea why though the articles i submit are of quality usually….Any tips?! Also apart from these social media sites, do you have any other suggestions? like directories or so?
Hey, thanks for the reply about your EDU situation.
That must be why the links (from .edu sites) are so valuable, because the Universities are so stringent with them!
Thats amazing answers ..I am looking for that and finally end up here …Thanks
hi. Got one more query. You answered the first question by saying that we can run through 10 socialmarker.com sites. What if i run through all the 50 sites simultaneoulsy??
will it get any google penalty??
hi. you said in your first answer that we can run through 10 socialmarker.com sites..but what if i run through all the 50 sites in it??
will google penalise me??
No you will not get penalized but many of the links will be nofollow’ed.
Your answer to the question about .edu sites shows some useful information about how to search for more specific terms on specific types of sites. This is quite relevant when one wants to locate a certain selection of sites that have a property they are looking for. Google’s advanced search capabilities continue to grow over time, and they keep adding items that it would be wise to get accustomed to.
Nice info. Does .EDU have good impact on our PageRank? I thought it was just a myth.
the more links to your page the higher the pagerank, so it just gives some more than others depending what can be done must be done
Thanks for the great tips, very useful and will take them into consideration.
Thanks….
