Here’s an interesting solution to the problem of how to build lots of good backlinks fast.
There are several alternatives, contenders on the Net, for the backlink-building need. Almost all of them have serious flaws, most of which only became apparent after they were in full operation for a good while. The prominent flaws/structural design errors are:
1. They are entirely blog-based, get you backlinks from new blogs without PR or authority. So you get the links but the SE’s discount them deeply because of the low ranking status of the source blogs. And there is no built-in way to promote and raise the status of those host blogs.
2. They only indirectly help your “money” websites, by giving them links to increase rankings.
3. They automate, speed up the acceptance of postings without close human screening, and so fill up with low-grade almost incoherent posts, which lowers traffic towards zero and further devalues the post host.
4. They use blogs, not articles, so the “shelf life” of each post is lowered to 90 days or so (for blogs) rather than a year or two (for articles).
The guy behind EZArticleLink, Kenneth Koh, seems to have learned from all this and worked out ways to avoid all those mistakes. He has now come up with an impressive new system that:
1. Builds-in the promotion for the sites on which their articles are going to be posted, from the outset. You get three KW’s as in-text anchor links per article but you only get 80% of the backlinks. The other 20% are used for links back to KW’s in the article title, to promote the host site.
2. Deals primarily with websites, not just blogs
3. Uses human review of articles before publication to avoid low-quality, badly spun or trash articles ever getting into their system
4. Works on developing full-scale Article Directories on your websites. That should boost page count, be helpful to the host website. This also encourages members to put quality sites into the system to gain from this benefit. Result: Higher PR sites, more site authority the sites that host the article directories!
Yes, they spin their posts. Yes, they have a free membership (Silver) as well as a paid membership (Gold).
They got my attention. I signed up for a free membership a little over a month ago. Experience has been very good. Still in beta, but I like to start with projects in beta, help to shape them, learn the details of how they work.
I don’t know if you can still get a free membership or not right now, but the product is scheduled to launch and become available to all on February 22, 2010. The first 100 to sign up get in at only $24 a month, a steal at that price. The price will go up with every 100 new members until it levels off at $47/month.
If you are interested in helping with the launch, you can find details here.
I will post a link to the launch site here on the 21st or so…
To your Internet success!
