Quick disclaimer: in some of the vids, the dots on my hands are from the markers… I ain’t a lepper, LOL
Today we are going to exhaustively talk about links! Yep, that’s right, links. I’m not going to tell you how to “get links” yet (so don’t get all excited), but I will teach you to “understand links.” Foundations are important.
Internet Marketing Links
First up… listen now and listen good: the success of your website in the search engines depends on backlinks. Links to your site are endorsements of your content from other “webmasters.” You must get links and market your content… But before you can get links, you have to understand what they are, what they mean, where they come from, and how they evolve.
There are a bunch of vids in this post, so watch and enjoy. I want to make this real-world for you, so I am going to stick with the “DIY Niche” through these vids. (our website here will be www.theDIYdude.com … a real domain I purchased just for this series here) I want you to get some true examples while visualizing the concepts in the REAL WORLD! (yeah, I am always trying to get you guys to think like humans in the real world and pull your heads outta your “Make Money Online Blogging” arses!) so let’s get started:
What Are Links and Why Are They Important Online?
In this video, I illustrate backlinks by pretending we are at a gathering of businesses, and Mr. Google is the doorman, directing customers to each business based on the customer’s needs. Watch…
So you can see that links are those little blue underlined words on websites. Most of you probably knew that. But there is a lot more to it than just having a bunch of sites pointing at you. This video has set the foundation for the next ones that will appeal to your more intermediate internet marketing mind!
All links are not created equally and the next videos will help you understand some of that.
Links And Anchor Text
The first thing I want you to consider when you go out to get links (or when you link out to your friends), is the anchor text used in the link. I mean, it’s cool if you get linked up with www.theDIYdude.com because of the fact that your domain name itself has the keyword “DIY” (do-it-yourself) in it, but this is not the best way to get your links anchored. Keep in mind that the actual anchored (the blue) words tell the Google crawlers what your site is about. IOW– when the spiders follow the link, the words anchored give them an idea of what’s on the other side of the link. Those spiders remember that! (in a manner of speaking of course)
In the case of www.theDIYdude.com we would love to have the anchore text of “home improvement tips” instead of just www.DIYdude.com. Can you see how the actual anchored blue words are more telling about the site than just the URL? (please ask questions below if you cannot grasp this concept ok?)
Linking Someone’s Name
This is something that you bloggers out there need to learn: and that being how to link to your buddies. I mean, quit linking people’s names. Sure, some of you think that “your name is your brand” and linking your name would increase that, but tell me how many real humans using Google are gonna search your dang name looking for whatyou have to offer? Yeah, they ain’t, so why do you insist on anchoring people’s names when you link to their sites? Why not help a brother or sister out and link their keywords? Let’s pretend you have a site about home improvement and you want to send me some natural link love: here is how you should do it:
“…since we are talking about floor tiling, wall framing and related power tools, you all could definitely benefit from checking out my friend Allyn Hane over at his DIY Home Improvement blog. Leave him a comment and let him know I sent you.”
Glad we got that one straight… and …Now that you know about anchor text, can you see how that is a lot better than just saying “Go see Allyn Hane for more information on DIY home improvement projects.”
Guest Posting Links
And not that I am bashing here guys, but that is really one thing that annoys me when it comes to guest posting on well known blogs. Some of you are big into this concept and you may spend an hour writing a nice keyword enriched, helpful post for a big name blogger, and when he introduces you as the guest poster, he links your freaking name or just your site name. Why wouldn’t he take the time to anchor your keywords in the guest post instead? Hmmf!
Yeah, just so you know, the value of guest posting isn’t from getting a bunch of someone’s trickle traffic… it’s in getting the anchored link from an authority site! THAT is why you guest post… for the LINK!!! (start thinking like a marketer and not just a blogger ya’ll)
Links And Site Authority
In this video, we talk about getting links from sites with some authority and how important that can be to your results.
So now let’s put a couple of these concepts together shall we? We know so far:
1) you need to get links (endorsements)
2) links with keywords anchored help Google understand your site better
3) links from sites with authority (PageRank) are bigger endoresements of your content
Just so you know, in my opinion, page rank on your own site really doesn’t mean much. Sure, if your site is a PR3 or PR4, your new posts will get crawled and indexed faster, and it will be easier to rank for langtails, but that is really the easy part.
Where pagerank matters is when sites that have a lot of it (PR3+) link *to* you. Those links are ENDORSEMENTS from already trusted sites and that makes the search engines in turn trust you, thus raising your site and pages up into the better locations in search results. (BTW– if you ain’t number 1 for a keyword, you ain’t nuthin’ in most cases!)
Can you see how this is stitching together? Getting links that are keyword anchored from authority sites will help you rank for your keywords… in other words, get you to position #1 for the keywords that are anchored. (read that run-on again 
)
PageRank Of Page, Not Domain
One other word of caution here: when you go out to seek/find high PR links, you need to understand that the pagerank of the PAGE the link is on matters and NOT so much the pagerank of the top level domain. I have seen these snake oil salesman out there telling people “we can get you 100 PR8 links to your website for $$$$”
What those guys do is go to sites where the main page is a PR8 (like http://www.weebly.com/) and they create an account page for you there and give you a link. But the page they created is a PRn/a or PR0.. and THAT is what Google looks at, the PR of the page, not the domain. Get it? So if you buy into that, you are not getting PR8 links, trust me.
Links And Site Relevance
We are almost done here, so pay attention as I am now going to talk about the relevance of the links you get.
This part of the concept can be a little confusing, so let me remind you that there really are no “bad links” for the most part. (well, unless someone spam links to you 1,000 times with the term “cheap vi*gra” or something)… but let’s stay on track.. there are no bad links.
But there are better links. So let’s look once again at our progression here, afteral, repetition is the key to learning bitches!
1) you need to get links, period
2) links with keywords anchored help Google understand your site better
3) links from sites with authority (PageRank) are bigger endoresements of your content
4) links from sites that are in your same or similar niche are big endorsements also, maybe bigger!
You see, it’s cool if we get a link to our DIY site from a PR4 site/page that is about general news and events, especially if our keywords are anchored. We’ll take those all day long.
But it’s actually a little better to get a keyword anchored link to our DIY site from a PR3 site that is focused on home improvement tips its-own-self. The relevance there trumps that extra pagerank when it comes to endorsement importance.
Now, no one truly knows what is better and what is worse in the grand scheme of the web.
“Is a PR6 link from CNN to your DIY site better than a PR4 link from DIY Network’s website…?” etc etc etc.
See how that can get a little muddy? So like I said before, all the links you can get are better than nothing, but you should, as a general rule, gets links on sites that are similar in your niche when you can. So in the case of www.theDIYdude.com we would try to get links from sites about “home improvement” first, but would also go for links on sites about “kitchens and baths” “gardening” “tile” “wood flooring” “home furnishings” “painting” etc. Each of these niches are great and would help us out, especially if the link was anchored well and on a high PR page.
So what is the Perfect Link?
As my friend Vic says, the HOLY GRAIL OF LINKS is…
So the best link (endorsement) I can get for www.theDIYdude.com is a keyword anchored link from a PR10 DIY Home Improvement site. If I can score that, I am well on my way to the big bank I am chasing. So how do you get links like that? You’ll have to stay tuned guys… I’ll show you in due time!
Honest Talk At The End (Everyone Read This Please)
Now it occurs to me that a lot of you are sitting there thinking, “Holy crap I can’t do all of that. That’s too much work!”
If that is you, you are not the first. But honestly, you should probably just stick to being a blogger then. As a blogger, you can feel good about “getting out a post today” and you can take refuge in the fact that you “left 10 comments on other blogs today” and go tell your Mommy that you “retweeted 10 tweets today.”
But “posting today” and “commenting today” and “Tweeting today” ain’t gonna get you paid any time soon.
So are you in this for the blogging touchy-feely or do you wanna get paid like a real marketer? Which is it? Do you have the bullocks to get out and market your content to real people or do you just want other bloggers to kiss your arse and mention you on Facebook?
In the real world, in real niches, you have to MARKET boys and girls, just like REAL businesses market a product of service, and getting links is the first step to marketing your content so you can turn a profit. …until next time…
Excellent post on backlinks. Linking to names is the stupidest thing, especially on do follow blogs where their policy is first name only and NO keywords, what is that?
Allyn, let me ask you your opinion on backlink acquisition and your experience, if any, with getting too many links too fast, what is too many or too fast as far as triggering a Google penalty.
By the way I have added your blog to my list of 132 Comment Luv blogs, had not come up on it in my research for the post, but I followed you here from Grizz’s site and see that you have Comment Luv. BTW, I did use your Meta Title for the anchor
. I you want to change it let me know.
JR @ Internet Marketing´s last blog ..Last Chance to Buy The Best Spinner Tool for Half Price
Allyn, did not want to anchor with just my name. LOL!
Nice article and videos on Backlinks! I am definitely following you on how exactly to get those anchored links. Perhaps I will start my own series and use your videos. Job well done on explaining. Some points cleared up things for me. Thanks for putting in the time to explain this.
I guess it would have helped if I had hyper-linked the last comment. Damn getting old sucks!
Denise @ How to Make Money Online at Home´s last blog ..Finally Back Up and Running
Just discovered your blog and I must say I’m impressed. Top quality advice and superb videos. I think you gave the best description of how Google operates as the gatekeeper I have seen anywhere.
You sure you don’t want to charge me $97.95? lol
Oh, and a do-follow link too. Man this is all just too good. I gotta go have a lie down..
Great stuff Allyn, I look forward to seeing more.
Tim Backlinking For Traffic´s last blog ..Some Great Plugins For Your WordPress Blog
@ Tim, glad you like the posts. comment do-follow backlinks are good too, so feel free to get some here anytime buddy. That is the great thing about me not using this blog to make money… I use it to give away stuff… info, links, whatever.
Anyway, you were in the Akismet hell of spam, so someone whacked your email addy previously, but I pulled you out!
I found you from grizzlies blog. I’m overwhelmed by all the information and hoping I don’t fizzle out soon. (I have a tendency to put large effort into things for a month or so then burnout)I will try to give you some link love on my webiste about gazebos something along the lines of if you want some indoor “home improvement tips” yada yada. I do have a question though…..with guys like yourself and grizz putting this great information out for free do you think the boat has already passed? (I’m just getting started) Or is there enough search traffic for us all to get a little piece of the pie (if I could make 2 grand a month I could quit my measley job and go full time IM lol) One other question…and I hope you don’t mind me putting the little link in the post (me no spammer, note long winded post) is that the backlink or the name ?? Anyhoo….Thanks for your work.
Gazebo Guy´s last blog ..Buying a Gazebo
Hi Gazebo guy,
Long story short, there is plenty of search traffic to go around. Just make sure to keep building sites that have NOTHING to do with internet marketing niches or blogging niches. If you build sites like the Gazebo one, you should do fine, Just get links!!!
By the way… I recently lured my brother in to “mmo” and since you are posting these wonderful how-tos, I can just point him to your blog instead of teaching him hand to hand what I know. Limiting him to my unorganized limited knowledge would restrict his potential, and for that reason I choose to point him to where I learnt the basics, and then give him tips as he moves along. Most likely, he is going to succeed faster than I did

@Phil– that’s cool man, glad my vids can be of help. My email contact page is always there too (for anyone reading this) if people have more specific questions.
Allyn,
I woke up this morning, grabbed a cup of coffee, walked over to my laptop and thought ‘I wonder what Allyn is up to this month?’. So, I clicked over to Blogger Illustrated, and……..rubbed my eyes again! Why is Allyn floating on a video cloud holding an iPad? I thought for a moment that you had just come back from Steve Job’s house.
Seriously, I’m stunned by how engaging you are as a teacher online. I only wish my professors from 30 years ago had taught without shoes on and sitting on a divan – I would have learned more. A+ for the approach and the information. Well done (and, frankly, inspiring)!

@don– seriously man, that means a lot to me coming from you! And yeah, I guess that thing does look like an Ipad huh? Pretty funny. But you just gave me an idea. once that Ipad comes down in price, I may develop an app for teachers!!! (or maybe someone else could, but it is still a cool idea)
Allyn,
Thanks for the great link summary. Love the green screen effect but miss the beer…
Q: Has anyone used Weebly to build network sites? Is there a catch? I note you can monetize with adsense in their FAQ. Is there a hidden fee somewhere?

@gremlin– ha, the beer will come back at some point, just not every vid.
I have not used Weebly, but I can tell you that I wold not use it as a direct way to make money. I might like to get a few anchored links from weebly sites (not too many but a few) but I would not put my adsense code on it… follow?
AL
Allyn,
Thanks for taking the time to put this information out there. I love that you and Griz keep teaching us all these things and are not constantly hounding everyone for money. In the end I bet your generosity pays huge dividends one day. Now if you could just develop a simple way to get the backlinks without the tons of work required, we could all retire early and sip fruity and frozen beverages on some tropical beach.

Hi Mike, guess what man, I AM gonna show you a very easy way to get links and the work is pretty much ALL done for you already! Now THAT sounds like a big pile of hype and crap, but I assure you that I will tell you, show you and illustrate it for you… all free. seriously man, when you hear it, you will be amazed at how simple it really is. Ha!
Allyn
I am another Griz follower that pays attention when he links to another site. Basic meat and potatoes information is always good because it gives you a knowledge base to grow from. I have managed to get sites on page 1 without any linking but I know I have to start. Thanks for LINKING BASICS 101. How about a course on INTERNAL SITE LINK STRUCTURE 102?
Hey John, thank you for taking time to leave comment man. I like giving out the basics in my own voice, but you are right, we need to get some deeper stuff on here and that is coming. I have a series going on how I sold a website for $30K and the internal linking structure will be a big piece of that whole thing. Stay tuned!

@master D — thank you for the linkage and the comment. ..much appreciated. The posts we are building here are going to help alot of people I hope.
Hey Allyn, great post that explains the whole backlink thing very clearly. Linked to it from my blog, but seeing as how I might have just wrote the longest freelance writing blog post in Internet history, I’ll be sure to find another place for it much closer to the top
Always a pleasure to see the new posts here. Keep up the great work, and thanks for the encouragement to the rest of us!

Hi Tiff, yeah, getting links is not pretty simple. Now, organizing everything takes work, but getting links is simple. I promise I will shoe you soon, live, in color and free.
Dude that fukin rockd you biatch! ‘OK got that outta my system’ Seriously isn’t this pretty much common sense? Not to take away from what you said but I need to go look at some of my links out and see if I’ve been doing this. I get what your saying though I’ve seen a lot of blogs lately with the name linked. Always wondered about that and you put it out there easier to see. But it’s common sense…..wwoo hooo I know some ppl lack it but they sure do a lot of linking for nothing or well like you said no bad link jus some are better. Guess I should take off now and see if I got any by checking my site
I like the new look. Bookmarked.
don’t nobody get me wrong, I dam sure ain’t no heavy weight and have a lot to learn. Thanks for helping me out Al you do rock!
Allyn,
Great post, glad you also add “fluff” under videos, I know why too
but I say that being deaf so..
I also benefit better from reading.
Thanks for summing it up nicely…

Rob Sellen´s last blog ..The third tribe suckers
Thanks for a great post, as Griz referred me to it and I think that doing all this linking is and can be quite tedious but I seem to enjoy tedious work with backlinking and creating anchored text links, I guess you could call me a backlink whore because I love it, especially when you write a good blog post that you find you can link up to your other related posts.
Draw Fantasy Art´s last blog ..Drawing Tutorials I Found Online
I agree, it is actually pretty cool to build links… real work for sure, and very very important. It is always rewarding to do important work IMO. Link Whore! ROFL
Allyn, helpful post.
I know articles to ezinearticle lose link juice after 3-4 articles back to same site.
1. Is there a negative affect if you write to many articles back to same site?
2. How about if you reciprocate a number of times to another site, will this be a negative in Googles eyes?
Thanks..
Great questions Rick.
1) no negative effects. Each page on ezinearticles is seen as different (kinda) by the search engines. However, we will be talking a lot about link variation in an upcoming post.
2) if you do a recip link, both are devalued quite a bit, but again, with link variation in mind, some recip linking is a good idea.
stay tuned, I will be talking about this very notion very soon in detail
Wonderful! The only thing I’d take a bit of issue with is the notion that PR really only matters on the page where your incoming link is placed. I do this a lot, and I see some added benefit from being on any page (even PR0 or PRn/a) of a site with a homepage with high PR. That seems to give more power to your rankings than a PR0 or PRn/a on a site with a homepage that has low PR. Otherwise, great stuff here! Should be newbie required reading.
Hi Allyn,
Firstly, thanks for writing such a lovely, clear and concise post.
I have been blogging for sometime now but struggling quite badly when it concerns building those damn backlinks. I usually end up getting the links from Social Bookmarking but ever since they turned No Follow its gotten even more difficult. May I request for a post that shows a few ways to getting them?
Nitesh from kalaghodafestivalnow´s last blog ..“Maharashtrachi Parampara” presented through dance stole our hearts…
Hi Nitesh– I am gonna show you lots of ways to get links. I just wanted to define them first because this way you can focus your efforts where it will really matter.
stay tuned my friend!

Brash and cynical are my type of humor. Throw in some sarcasm and you’re ready for primetime. Quick, energetic… a great teaching style. I don’t know it all, but I certainly can’t think of a point you missed.
Great education on backlinks!!

Hi Randy! thanks for hanging out here for a few minutes and adding to the convo! much appreciated.
I can tell you that once I show you how to get some links, you will by mystified! LOL even for a micro niche!
AL
Thought your intro to links was very explainable. nice Job!! You explained that
anchor text links with the keywords are most high. So how many times would you anchor that main keyword on your pages? I understand to use few anchor text words but about how many of the same anchor word. Or just make sure that the anchored word links to different pages and keep using the same few keywords?
Also when commenting how do you link the words on your comment on other sites like the ones I see above?

Checking the page rank of a particular page is very time-consuming. Anyway, the page rank changes frequently. Even if the page rank of a page is PR8 now, it does not mean it will be PR8 forever.

first and fore most i wanted to say thank you for your guidence. I am just starting out in IM or as I like to put it profiting from my passion (jk)
anyway sincerly thank you for being such a straight shooter with your content. It is a nice change all to often when i try to research information on these subjects %99.99 of the time there is always some smiley glad hand that has nothing to offer at a price i call them the used car salesman of the internet. thank you for not being one of these clowns.
i know alot of the information i look for is “closly guarded secrets” but coming into this knowing nothing it gets very frustrating when even the basic info comes with a hand reaching for my wallet. i look forward to more of your posts. your help has been beyond words and i can honestly say at this point if you were to charge $97.97 as you put it i would have no issues ponying up the dough because i know id get my money’s worth.
thanks again!
