How one simple plug-in can get you tons of free backlinks to your blog.

It seems like My last few posts have been about link building, backlink building and using web 2.0 web apps, such as Using facebook to get back links. Funny how you tend to blog in themes isn’t it. For the most part I blog along the lines (or so it seems) of what I am currently doing. So keeping in the same vein as this, I thought I would throw my ideas on gaining backlinks to your blog. I don’t know when this all started. But I do believe it was after the last google update. It appears now that google is on the link popularity band wagon. About time if you were to ask me. I don’t think it’s enough to just have your pages ranking on google because of some SEO voodoo you’re doing. I really wish I had bookmarked the sites I saw these conversations on, at some point I’ll try to retrace my steps and share this info with you.

You HAVE GO TO HAVE other sites linking to you for you to be relevant in the search engines now. It’s like survivor really, every time a site links to you it’s a vote in the eyes of the search engines for your blog. And these votes add up. Which is where the idea of quantity VS quality links comes in.

So if you are producing content that is link worthy or worth mentioning then others are going to want to link to you, There are a number of other ways as this all happens but lets keep it simple for the mean time. 

Are you worried or freaked out now? about how to get back links from blogs with decent PR? Don’t be it’s not really all that hard. Here’s a little blurb about a cool little plug-in to get those backlinks.
Have you ever seen a small plug-in on most of the popular blogs called "Top commentator"? You can make use of this plug-in to get free back links.

Depending on what your blog commenting strategy is, or what you’re trying to achieve. You can do this any number of ways.

Courtney Tuttle has a list of 200 or so blogs that "do Follow" You’re obviously going to want to do this with blogs that have the do follow on their comments. I’d also recommend you read Caroline-brooks Blog commenting strategy for some other great commenting strategy tips. Initially choose popular blogs in your niche from Technorati. Then go comment on the blogs with top commentator plug-in. Don’t be an idiot and spam them, …i.e the comments should be genuine and useful to these blogs. Remember that commenting is a two way street you get a backlink and the author of the post gets content that is search engine food. So it’s a give and take thing.
As your number of comments on a particular blog increases, you can get a sizable number comments on the blogs which use the plug-in with a perfect backlink for your blog.

On this plug-in your name will be displayed along with a link to the homepage of your blog. (see the image above)
Just a quick note on this. If you want traffic from these blogs, you should choose to use your main keyword you’re trying to gain search engine positioning for. So the nick name for making comment on the blogs say - your blog is about making money online and the keyword you’re trying to rank for is making money online then your comment nich name should be that keyword. Get the idea?

Within a week you can manage to get at least 50 links, if you have posted at least 5 comments in each of the 50 blogs. Make use of this plug-in for building backlinks as these links in the top commentator box doesn’t have no-follow tags.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, and I hope this helps you make money blogging.
