How to Easily Build Backlinks in Minutes
- 20 Comment
Peoplesearchbuilder.com was setup on April 22nd, however, I’m ashamed to admit that after my opening welcome message I didn’t enter my first post until May 18th. I’ve been posting more regularly recently, but I’m behind schedule. By this point I was expecting to have a lot more valuable information available for my visitors. Frankly, I’ve been pretty lazy! However, despite my laziness I’ve actually been getting a good flow of daily visitors. So, how am I getting traffic to my site?
Peoplesearchbuilder.com Traffic
Simple. I’ve been building backlinks. If you are not familiar with the term, backlinks are just incoming links to a website. The number of backlinks directed to your website is one indication of the importance of your site. Think of search engines as popularity contests and each backlink is a thumbs up or a vote of confidence for your site.
So, how do you get these votes when your website is brand new and you’re the new kid on the block? Easy. You go around and vote for yourself! Alright, I know that doesn’t sound very good so let me explain.
One very effective method to build backlinks is by blog commenting. If you have ever left a comment on a blog, like this one, you know you can leave your name, e-mail and website. This allows you to do the following:
1) Create Backlinks Using Select Keywords- You can enter any name you want so you can target specific keywords and link them to your URL. Let’s say I wanted to target the key phrase “Instant Free People Search.” I could enter that as my name and then link it to my people search engine URL www.people-search-diretory.net.
2) Generate Traffic - If you leave valuable comments behind others will read them and might follow the link to your website. You want to leave comments, questions or compliments that you actually put some thought into. Many blog owners will have to approve your first comment before it will be displayed so spend a few moments reading the blog post so you can leave an intelligent comment.
3) Increased Popularity - If you return frequently to a blog you’ll become known and your popularity will increase among other blog readers. By building good online relationships and trust you’ll be rewarded in the long-term. This is another reason why you should leave thoughtful posts behind. Also, the blog owner will appreciate you because nobody wants to be the owner of a lifeless blog.
Finding Blogs With Related Content
In order to build backlinks you need to find blogs that are related to your website. In my case, this blog deals with Tissa Godavitarne’s program and affiliate marketing so I obviously wouldn’t leave comments on a gardening blog. The search engines will give less importance to backlinks if they are left on unrelated websites so you need to build themed backlinks by matching similar content to your website.
Finding blogs with similar content can be very tedious if you are doing a manual search plus it’s next to impossible to keep them all organized in lists. To create organized lists of related blogs in a matter of minutes I recommend a software title called Fast Blog Finder. The software is very simple to use and you’ll notice the results within days. It comes in two varieties: free and paid ($49). The free version is limited to 50 search results and doesn’t include some of the features like list building and data backup.
To begin using the software just type in a related keyword and then begin your search. For this blog I created lists by searching for keywords such as Tissa Godavitarne, Acme People Search, affiliate marketing, affiliate programs, Internet marketing, etc. I let the software run for a few minutes to build up a long list of relevant blogs. Next I sorted the lists by “do follow” and “no follow” links. In the past spammers have abused blog commenting so many blog owners have implemented a “no follow” link tag. So although you won’t create a backlink on many blogs you can still build traffic to your site so leave those thoughtful comments that I talked about before. I target all the “do follow” blogs first and then move on to the “no follow” blogs sorted by page rank and then work my way through each list.
Another nice feature that Fast Blog Finder offers is the ability to record the date you left a blog comment so you can keep track of which blogs you still need to visit or remind yourself when it’s appropriate to return to leave another comment.
Here’s a screenshot:

Before you start building backlinks check how many backlink you currently have. Both Yahoo! Site Explorer and SEOPro.com.au offer free link checking tools.
Link building can be a real pain, but this software makes the job a lot easier. Yes, it’s still tedious, but if you want to cash some checks you have to do some work! Try to make it a habit of spending 15-30 minutes a day and before long you’ll have hundreds or even thousands of backlinks to your website and you’ll start to see a nice flow of traffic. A great way to get started with this program is to start building backlinks to your people search engine. The people search market is very competitive so if you want to generate free traffic you will to do a lot of work. Creating backlinks through blog commenting is a great way to start.
Also, visit Fast Blog Finder’s website and read some of the blog posts there for a lot of other great link building strategies.
If you have never left a comment on a blog before you can start right now. Please feel free to leave a comment about this post and tell me what you think.

Good stuff. I suggest also submitting to web directories with high page rank also. Plus, submitting articles to high PR sites (ezinearticles.com) and pointing to your site with keyword anchor text will help. I submitted my ACME blog to a couple 100 sites and it’s on the first page of Yahoo (before it was no where to be found).

When it comes to posting on blogs for back links, I was introduced to a nifty free site that allows you to post on up to 30 blogs with 2 back links in each post. You will have to learn how to ’spin’ articles, but that only takes a few minutes to get the hang of it.
You spin the articles so they won’t be considered duplicate content and blocked by the search engines. So you spin one article with 2 back links and submit it to blogs in your category might take 30 minutes tops for a total of 60 backlinks.
Below is the URL - and it is an affiliate link. No - no money changes hands this affiliate link allows me to submit to more then the original 30 blogs. You’ll get an affiliate link too. Start spreading the love and you could soon be getting 100 backlinks for 50 blogs with no extra work.

Great information. I found that the fast blog finder to be a great tool. I went from 0 backlinks to over 100 in a matter of days. I hope I didn’t over do it. I also tried the G-link directory submitter. Works good, but you need to submit to at least 1000 directorys in my opinion. I read somewhere that a 1000 directory submission would give you on average one visitor per day, but would be great for backlinks. I don’t know how many visitors you would get.
