Free and easy backlinks from a PR-10 site

It’s quite possible that you already know about this, but I am still going to share it with you just in case you weren’t aware of it.

Go to Google Profiles:

http://www.google.com/profiles (link opens in a new window)

And create a profile there.

This is great because you can not only tell people about you and your site(s) here, but it’s also a great way to create one-way backlinks from a PR-10 site (google.com).

You can create a bio where you can add links to your site(s). They even let you add custom links to your profile.

In all of these places, you get to choose your anchor text as well. Isn’t that awesome?

And google.com is a PR-10 site, so a backlink from there could mean a lot for your rankings.

For best results, I would recommend creating a separate profile for each of your sites. That way, your bio for each profile page will be “relevant” to the anchor texts you would be providing.

This matters not just because it will add more weight to the links to your site, but also because your profile page may actually turn up in the search results for a few keywords related to your site!

Also, be sure to add links to several pages of your site, not just the home page.

Additional tip: You can create your profile pages on MSN as well. And other community sites, for that matter.

Are you already using this strategy? If so, do you have other websites that you can share?

Unfortunately Google already announced that Google Profile pages will not carry over any weighted Google Juice.

However, it is a great way to get another very high authority page in the SERPs for your name, plus some nice entry points for the spider to start indexing your site.

That’s interesting, Jessica. Can you provide a link to a resource to support your view? I haven’t read or seen anything like you say, so I am eager to learn more. Thanks!

Rohit:

Thanks for such a practical and helpful site for SBIers. I did not discover it until today.

My sites need help but now that I am full time at home due to the economy, I will address shortcomings, especially with help like yours

Onward with purpose,

Rohit,

Awesome strategy man. I couldn’t tell you the number of times that I’ve seen the Google profile page, but never went any further than that. Ha! Pays to start looking huh?

This is a version of creating backlinks that I need to make sure to pass to my own team.

Thanks,

Linus

I still think web directories are a great way to build a websites links. The key is to choose web directories that have strict guidelines, aged and are kept. If used correctly they can be a great way to build your backlink profile.
