(I ask because I heard that SEs disregard a link from one source if that same source gives the same link a certain number of times.)

What services do you recommend using for submissions? Right now we do most of this in-house using paid software and our own proprietary scripts.

Wiki editors are big on removing any link that they consider spam. I wrote a couple dozen Wiki pages and followed a certain format for all pages. One page was marked as spam and removed. I checked and the site met all the required guidelines, so I re-submitted. Long story short, a more senior wiki author did not like the writer in question and did not want to give him a Wiki page.

Still with me? OK, after you create a page for someone else you can include a list of people that influenced your subject and a list of people that have been influenced by your subject. After I create a wiki page I send a link to the subject with a note – if they like the page could they submit me as a person influenced by them.

Ethical? Who knows. The good thing is that once Wiki has approved an article, if the subject of the article goes in to clean up certain facts, and they list themselves as the subject of the post, small things like “influenced by…” are usually allowed to pass.

I just went back and checked 2 of my posts, and they are still there. This may seem odd, but I don’t ask to have my name included in the influenced by… section, but a friend.

If you think you merit a Wiki page, let me know, my pages get approved – if you are at all worthwhile.

I have tried a number of your suggestions and they do work but also take time. But, it’s worth the effort when your site starts doing well.

Linkedin profiles are also often at the top of the search listings when one Googles by individual name – with links to your own sites included. If you are bold enough to write a bio of yourself in Wikipedia you can include links there as well, but it helps to have garnered some recognition.

Great post! I love your list. One I would add is co-citation links.

Take Care,

Anyone else who wants to do this can go here and do so.

Excellent Post! Building links from various sources is definitely the way to go… And doing it consistently over time is smart too. We should also point out what not to do too…

I suggest you DO NOT build a bunch of links all at once, like you can do with some automated software, especially if the links are from just one of the twelve sources of links you mentioned above. While it might not get you banned from the search engines it may set off a red flag and you could have your site manually reviewed. Of course if this is something that happend naturally you have nothing to worry about. But get caught “manipulating” your links and you could suffer a drop in the search engine rankings or even getted banned.

Speaking of getting links from authority sites… here’s a little tip I’d like to share…

If you have a gmail account you can get yourself a powerful authority link from Google itself. You see, anyone with a GMail account gets a Google Profile Page (I have one at http://www.google.com/profiles/IMEricBonnici While some of the links are nofollow, it seems you can add a link in the about me section that is do follow… link that to your site using your keyphrase as anchor text and you get super link juice.

And another way to get really good link juice from Google is if people subscribe to your RSS/Blog feed using Google Reader.. and then they click the share option on the posts they like. Their profile page will show a link that says my shared items… which links to a page on Google listing blog posts the person liked and wants to share… and there’s how you get another powerful juicy link… right from Google itself…

With Google Wave around the corner there’s going to be some exciting ways to get powerful link juice from the king of authority sites Google… (shameless plug – I’m putting together a free report on all this and hope to release it early in the new year)

Well sorry for rambling on… your post was outstanding and got me excited.

All the best and will keep an eye out for more of your great info

Sincerely,
Eric Bonnici
