The Truth About Seo Link Builders

I’ve been scammed by these people, and I wanna show you why and how. Years ago I used to receive truckloads of emails requesting a so called three way link exchange.

If you use a Gmail account you probably know what I mean because you will also receive (sometimes bombarded) with chat messages asking for a 3 way link exchange.

Now I know the people behind these messages, they’re simple working for someone else. They’re probably freelancers working on sites like guru.com or scriptlance.com or elance.com etc, and basically build links for other people and get paid.

From experience now I know that links you get from these useless, are not good because some day or another either they remove the link pointing to your website or the sites they’ve placed your link on is gone.

These people might have hundreds of websites for the sole purpose of building links.

So in other words avoid doing 3 way link exchanges, because truly I never found someone honest. To do a 3 way link exchange you really need to find honest people and you need to save the data somewhere.

Since a 3 way has to do with multiple websites, for instance you link to their site sitea.com from your site siteb.com and they link to your site siteb.com from their second site sitec.com

So you need to keep record where they linked to you from, and where you link to them from, etc. From experience I know that your link someday or another will be gone, actually the site itself would be gone.

So yeah I’m a bit repeating here but you got the point.

Me no longer do 3 way link exchanges unless google.com asks for it :) You understand what I mean.

99.9% of people asking for 3 way link exchanges are doing it for someone else, and get paid for the work. Hence that’s why then they don’t care and remove your link or the site what your link on is gone for whatever reason.

I always had the feeling that these people kind of are useless (means wasting my time), because they usually email their entire address book, or don’t really know what they’re saying.

In fact here’s an email from one of them, I kept the same fonts they used (since carnival is soon I thought of leaving them as sender sent them):

The Truth About Seo Link Builders

Tutorial: How to Add Nofollow Tag in Links!

Increase Font Size Decrease Font Size

This tutorial will show you two ways to insert the nofollow tag in links. Once you understand these methods this is very easy to do.

I have provided TWO ways, the “Automatic Way” using your website editor tool and the “Manual Way” where you play around with the code yourself.

Truth be told: Both are super easy to do. Knowing the manual way has its own benefits, because once you get used to it you’ll find it extremely efficient.

Method #1: The “Automatic Way”

Open your website editor tool, in this example I’m using NVU, and open the page that contains the links.

If you have a different website editor tool the process should be the same more or less.

(click here to see bigger image)

Now just double click on the text link, OR right click on the link and select Link Properties.

Now click on Advanced Edit… button and you’ll see this:

(click here to see bigger image)

Type rel in the first box (Attribute:) and then if something appears in the second box (Value:) remove it and type in nofollow

Here’s screenshot of how it now appears:

(click here to see bigger image)

Just click Ok, then OK again.

Done.

To verify you did it correctly you can install a FREE plugin in your browser. This plugin only works with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox currently. It’s called SEO Aid you can download it from: http://www.linkbuilderexpert.com/seoaid.html Then follow the instructions to install it.

To use it, save the webpage you edited, upload it via FTP, then visit the page in your browser. Right click on the plugin (in Mozilla Firefox) or click it once (in IE) select Highlight Nofollow and if the link has the nofollow tag it will be highlighted.

Method #2: The “Manual Way”

After you practice this a couple times you find this simple to do as well.

You’re about to discover slightly technical related material here.

First of all a normal link code looks like this:

<a href=”http://www.yahoo.com/”>Click here!</a>

Why I said normal?

Because sometimes the code contains extra elements, such as those that make the link BOLD, ITALICS, FONT COLOUR, etc.

The link code may look like this:

<a style=”font-family: Arial; href=”http://www.yahoo.com”>click here</a>

That code has also the FONT element in it.

Anyways, you want to insert the rel=”nofollow” tag in the link code.

Where?

Right before the first > I like to call this the closing tag.

Therefore:

<a href=”http://www.yahoo.com/” rel=”nofollow” >Click here!</a>

Notice I placed a space before and after the nofollow tag, you can do this too, you can also don’t put spaces at all if you choose to. The reason I put spaces is because it becomes easier to put the tag.

So if the link code includes other elements we still have to put the rel=”nofollow” tag before the first >

Therefore:

<a style=”font-family: Arial;” href=”http://www.yahoo.com” rel=”nofollow” >click here</a>

So remember put the nofollow tag ALWAYS before the first >

One final word: remember that you have to insert the nofollow tag exactly like this:

rel=”nofollow”

Don’t do it like this:

rel=’nofollow’

Why the “Manual Way” is very effecient?

Your computer already has the program called Notepad.

Now that you know how to edit link code manually to insert the nofollow tag, you can use this program to edit links.

You can open your webpage using Notepad. You will only see the code that makes up the webpage.

But you can easily modify the code manually.

I like to use notepad a lot to edit code, because it’s fast to use. Knowing a bit technical material like this helps, because you can be more efficient and don’t have to call your webmaster or programmer each time.

One Line Sentence Gets You More Link Exchanges!

Increase Font Size Decrease Font Size

In this short article I’ll reveal a one line sentence you can add in an email to get more webmasters to reply to your link exchange requests.

It basically is: “If you want us to add your link first reply to this email back”.

That short sentence basically tells the other person you’re a real person. Most of them will simple link to you first, because they KNOW you’re going to link back.

So that one line simple makes them feel more trust towards you! So much that they won’t ask you to link first, they just link themselves first.

So test it out, put that line in your next link exchange request email that you (or your employee) sends out.

Of course include the other important ingredients in the email not just that sentence. These are:

Your link details: title of website, description of website (one line or two), url of website.

Provide also the html code for that too, so they can simple copy and paste that.

Provide also the page you’re going to link back to them such as the directory (and tell them they can choose any page/category they want).

Be extremely friendly, remember you’re asking for a favor whenever asking for a link exchange. Saying: “Reply back within 24 hours” may not sound very friendly.

If you want more FREE time then consider hiring a freelancer from scriptlance.com elance.com or guru.com etc to send out emails for you contacting link exchange partners.

OR use a software like OutRankSmart™

OR give the software to a freelancer so he uses it instead of you.

Remember these are people you’re going to hire, don’t be afraid that they might not do a good job. First teach them exactly how, have some patience with them – but make sure they’re willing to learn before you hire them.

Bye,
Karl
