How To Rake in 1000s of Backlinks
Admit it. Everyone loves backlinks.
With each new inbound link to your site, Google smiles at the vote of confidence. Your reputation subsequently increases, your search rankings skyrocket– and with it, the number of web visitors to your site.
More visitors translate to more clinking in the empty piggy bank. Sounds good? Great! Let’s get down to business.
For the average Joe, there are three boring ways to create inbound links.
The first is the most common: reciprocal linking. You fire an email to a related site and request an exchange of votes. It’s tidious and webmasters often tell you to buzz off. Google doesn’t give much value to such backlinks either-they deem such behavior self-serving. Expect to do months of reciprocal link building before reaping decent returns. It is simply not worth it.
The second way is to spam. Spamming quickly blasts hundreds of your links into many forums, blogs and directories. You can create almost 2000 backlinks with this method in a week. Ever got those viagra ads posted on your Honda fansite? The spammers probably thought a triangular blue pill spins up your twinturbos more rapidly. Some link exchange services automate link blasting by plugging one way links to your site into reciprocal link exchange directories they control. Watch it! I’ve heard of a few webmasters deindexed from such services
Finally, the third way is to create linkbait articles like the cool stuff at BlackHatSeo. Linkbait is a controversial writeup that compels other webmasters to link to your article. If the article is polarizing, debatable or insulting, you can rake in nearly 10,000 backlinks a week after every Tom Dick and Harry dissect your article on their blogs. It’s not always healthy for the ego.
These days, I no longer use such tired methods to rake in backlinks. I go for a lazier, faster way. It’s similar to creating LinkBait Articles- but with a twist. I call it PDF Marketing, and it’s something I like to recommend at my hobby search engine optimization firm.
FYI, a PDF is a document created by adobe acrobat. Link building using this method requires that you write a truly snazzy 3-4 page article that people would love.
Some themes you’d consider:
- SEO tips and tactics
- Dating and romance
- Conspiracy theories bordering on the unbelievable
- PC optimization
- Online business techniques
- Offline business ideas
- Adsense marketing
- Affiliate marketing
- Hobbies
When choosing a theme, make sure you’re knowledgeable and passionate about it. Then write! Spend at least 30 minutes drafting and polishing. Review the final document then impregnate every page of your article with links to your site. Compile it into a PDF document and upload it to free download sites.
Take a glass of lemonade and sit back. That was the hard part. Pretty soon, freeloaders would pick up on the document. They’d read it, enjoy it and post it on their sites. Folks’d buzz about it. More people would download it. Half of them will stick it into their webs. Then guess what? In a fortnight, you’d have thousands of sites hosting your PDF that links back to your web! Feel the rush of power from a single viral document- all aided by the free download sites* giving you more coverage.ÂÂ
Here’s the best part: Google would love you to bits from all that link love. The reward? More green pixie dust on your pagerank toolbar.
Can you already imagine your site tap dancing all the way to loftier search engine rankings? Now go get em!
(Note: you can also use viral PPT, rtf and flash documents to create links to your site!)

After creating the pdf file, It helps to post an URI to wikipedia. The editors/mods won’t delete it, particularly if it looks value-adding

Have you noticed a PR rise as such because of this - but I guess it will, since the backlinks show up, and that’s what’s more important anyway as far as SERPs are concerned.

May be you rigth - just my way of growing backlinks was not very correct (from Google’s view) and if site with very interesting articles get more than 1000 backlinks instantly “skyrocket” it in SERP.
Comment by Andy Bailey on 24 October 2007:
that’s an excellent point about using PDF’s
I (re)made an ebook about 101 romantic ideas and added a link to my main affiliate site to it. The ebook was so popular (it had over 15000 downloads from bit torrent in one day) that it ended up on a few commercial sites dealing with weddings and other romance type subjects. I was surprised to see how many results came up with my site linked from within a PDF file, the site I linked to is just my own domain with a frameset showing links in a 10% top frame with the affiliate site in the lower 90%, now it’s up to a PR of 5!

Yes the average person would definitely find this task very big so I recommend to start off small, maybe week by week. First start off with a draft and work your way to the pdf. Have some close associates give a critique then move on from there. 80% of completing a task is just to begin!
Great Post !!

I think the idea sounds great, however seems pretty complicated for the average Joe like myself. Just coming up with a great article alone is a huge hurdle to overcome.

Thank you for the very useful tips guys. This comes at a time when I am desperately trying to build back links. And I had never heard of Blue Hat SEO before!

To continue.. people who perpetuate this myth are proabbly mistaking fast growth for google just catching on to their shady link growing methods, not the growth itself but the sources of such growth or maybe just disappointed that they didn’t get the gains they were hoping for.

that is a myth. it doesnt make *any* sense when you think about it.
If i site were to magically come up with the cure for cancer, ever blogger/news site in the world would put a link to it that day, and I am certain that google would not ‘penalize’ the site for gaining links quickly.
On a smaller scale, any big news gains ranking very quickly in google. its viral growth and google doesn’t penalize. try it out with a search for anything recent.
matt cutts has said on many occations that outside influences cannot harm a site. amybe 10,000 links in one day may be weighted less than 10000 over a month, but it never *harms* you.
