Looking for killer web 2.0 quality backlinks? They are out there. But how in the world do you find them? Google, of course…
Use the following custom Google search queries to find even more sites that may be good candidates to link to your site. The following list just barely scratches the surface of what you can find, but it will give you a great head start over your competition…
Comment Luv (Blogs)
CommentLuv is a popular Wordpress plug-in that displays the last post from your blog when you make a comment to someone else’s blog. This provides you a nice keyword related deep anchor text link.
To locate blogs in your industry that use CommentLuv, use the following search. Make sure to replace KEYPHRASE with your target/industry term. Once you get the results, simply go to each blog and see if there is a discussion(s) you can join by adding your intelligent/useful comment.
“title=”CommentLuv Enabled”” KEYPHRASE
Squidoo Lenses
Squidoo lenses are user created websites, similar to blogs. To locate Squidoo lenses in your industry that allow links, use the following search in Google. Once you have the results, click on a lens and scroll down to the ‘List’ near the bottom of the lens. Click ‘Add to This List’ and add your website URL to the list, making sure to vary your keywords/title for each lens you submit to (i. e. DO NOT use the exact same title/description for every submission).
KEYPHRASE + site:squidoo.com + “0 points”
Youtube
To locate Youtube channels in your industry that allow comments, use the following searches. Once you have the results, scroll to the comments section at the bottom and make (you guessed it) a useful comment about the video(s) and nab a few links. Note that these links will point to your own Youtube channel (not your website).
“KEYPHRASE” “Channel Comments” site:youtube.com/user
[site:youtube.com/user “KEYPHRASE”]
Facebook
Search your KEYPHRASE and become fans of good pages that you find. Post to those pages with helpful comments and links.
[site:facebook.com/people “KEYPHRASE”]
Twitter
Find likeminded Twitter users with the following search. Once you have the results, you can follow, direct message or add the users you like to a list. Again, you’re not going to get direct links to your website, but you will expand you reach dramatically.
[site:twitter.com -inurl:statuses -inurl:status “KEYPHRASE”]
Tumblr
Use the following search to locate Tumblr blogs with your KEYPHRASE in the title. Peruse the blogs and bookmark/post to the one’s you find interesting.
KEYPHRASE inurl:tumblr.com
LinkedIn
Find groups in your industry and post relevant articles. Or, if you have just updated your blog (or posted an article somewhere else), just post a note to the group explaining the article and the URL.
[site:linkedin.com inurl:in “KEYPHRASE”]
MySpace
Find MySpace users with the following query and post comments to the ones that seem appropriate.
[site:profile.myspace.com inurl:myspace inurl:fuseaction “KEYPHRASE”]
Flickr
Use this query to find groups with similar interests and (of course) post useful comments to them (or join them outright as well).
