A little over a week ago I received an email from someone trying to promote their website with backlinks. Unlike most of the email pitches I see, the site he was looking to promote actually offered free dofollow links in return. The website I am talking about is LogoPallet.

LogoPallet is a free logo design gallery, much like the many CSS galleries that I have used for link building in the past. LogoPallet lets you submit your logo to be displayed on the front page of their website to all of their users, and they also create a page with a little paragraph of information about your site where you are allowed to put an anchor text link back to your website.

While browsing the web today I came across a website that had a ton of free eBooks available for download that were submitted by users.  This page also had a dofollow link to the author of the eBook’s personal blog.  This got me thinking that anyone could make a simple text-filled eBook with simple information about the niche that they are in, and then publish the eBook to many free ebook directories with the hopes of free traffic and links.  I have not done this myself yet as the creation of the eBook may be a little bit time consuming, but it has been awhile since I have come up with any advanced link building strategies and thought I would share this one.

This is a link building tip submitted to me by a close friend of mine who does real estate investing in the Go Zone.

The site is called Widgetbox. Widgetbox calls itself the site that helps people express, connect, create, and in form using web widgets that can be easily shared and distributed anywhere on the web. Widgets are free chunks of information that is meant to be ported or embedded into any website/blog.

MediaWhiz, the company that polluted half of the web with spam by promoting TextLinkAds.com has clearly not learned their lesson.  Google declared war on paid links and penalized all websites that were buying or selling them to cheat their way to the top of the search engines.  Thousands of websites who were selling ads through TextLinkAds were penalized, many of whom had lost tons of traffic and had months worth of problems because of the incident.

Ning is a website that allows anyone to create their own social network for whatever they feel like, whether that be a social network about dancing all the way to a social network about link building strategies.

There is tons of link building potential with Ning.com, and so I figured I would give everyone a quick guide to some of the fastest ways to build useful links with the site.

Link Building Strategy #1
Sign up for a free social network related to your niche. For example, I own the linkbuildingstrategies.ning.com social network and it features my RSS feed with dofollow links

YouBundle is a web2.0 site often compared to Squidoo, however it has a different purpose. YouBundle allows anyone to sign up for a free profile and create a bunch of links that relate to a specific topic. For example, I could make a topic about a few different link building blogs that I know of (I used 3 since thats all that is required and I was doing it quickly), and people who visit this page could suggest more related link building blogs to add to the page.

I had used Qassia a long time ago, back when it had just launched into a private invite-only beta, and didn’t really think much of it because it had zero authority and pagerank.

Well, it is now many months later and my friends post about Qassia reminded me about it and that is well out of beta and is now completely open to everyone. Qassia now has a strong PR5 homepage as well.

Qassia dubs itself as an intelligence engine, but really it is pretty close to just a repository for user submitted articles. Like Squidoo, you can write about any topic you like, and with that, you can build links to your website.
