Hello everyone, I have another quick link building technique to share with you today. It has been quite awhile since my last post, mainly because I am extremely focused on my college studies and that my blog takes up a lot of my time and does not make me any mentionable income, but it is rather just a hobby of mine.  With that being said, I will still be updating my blog with link building techniques when I get a spare minute here and there and when I come across some easy links.

GoArticles is a free article submission website that allows you to write an article (generally 400+ words) about any topic and publish it on their site.  Much like any other article submission site, GoArticles allows you to put a little “author byline” in the bottom with some dofollow links with the thought that anyone that copies the article (which you want them to do), will include your links when they republish it.

How-to content, such as tutorials on how to build or create stuff has always been in the top most popular search items. There are literally millions of things you could search on “how to _insert words here_”, and that is why sites like eHow, Wikihow, and others have become so popular.

Today, I have come across a website called Instructables. Instructables is a community powered web2.0 website that allows anyone to register a free account and submit “how-to” articles on any topic they choose.

Well it looks like link builders who are promoting real estate websites are in good luck, because today is a real estate related site that you can build anchor text dofollow backlinks from. The site is called ActiveRain, and is one of the largest real estate websites on the planet, so the majority of real estate professionals would have probably heard about them already. Well, on your profile you can add html links to the three sections under the little “description” of you is through their WYSIWYG editor.

You don’t see Google giving out many link building tips of their own, but that is indeed where this little information nugget came from. Matt Cutts from Google has a post about how Google Webmaster Tools shows your incoming 404 pages (people who link to a page on your site that doesn’t exist, such as CollinLaHay.com/boogers58125/), and how Google Webmaster Tools will show you which pages are sending these links, so you can contact them to quickly fix the link.

After talking about Zillow and ActiveRain, I have found another quick link for those in the real estate niche. The site is called Trulia. Trulia is a real estate search engine that shows listings, maps, comps, and more all in one place. It lists thousands of real estate professionals in a social network like format. The site allows for people to look for new house listings in their area.

Directories are websites which list dozens of different categories and have dozens of inner-categories inside these. At the very bottom level of these categories they list websites that are related to them, and allow webmasters to add their websites to the directory. Directories have lost a lot of value over the years, but since there are over 1000 that provide a dofollow backlink to your website, they certainly shouldn’t be overlooked. The biggest pain with directories is that it would take many hours to manually submit your website to 1000+ directories, and that would only benefit one site. That is why I generally use to outsource this task to people in different countries who have the patience to do data entry work for 12 hours a day, 5 days a week.
