How A Basic Link Magnet Can Allow You To Boost Your Rankings

In the past, it has been relatively simple to increase the search engine ranking of a web site by using a simple link wheel. Unfortunately, Google caught up rapidly and this tactic no longer works very well.

On the other hand, so-called link magnets continue to work perfectly and in some cases they allow you to significantly increase the rankings of a webpage. Link magnets resemble link wheels, but there are a few vital distinctions.


Let's have a quick look at how you can create a simple link magnet:

The most elementary link magnet consists of 5 unique Web 2.0 properties that hyperlink to one another also to your money web page (on your principal web site) in a very specific way. 4 of those Web 2.0 properties form a framework that is similar to a regular link wheel and also the fifth Web 2.0 property acts as a gateway for your money page and this is also the only real Web 2.0 website that backlinks to your money page - the rest of the four web 2.0 sites do not directly connect to your money page.

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how you can develop this kind of link magnet:

* Your "Gateway" Web 2.0 web page: Develop an account upon Web 2.0 site and publish an original article of no less than 300 words which is in connection with the main topic of your money page. Out of this article, link to your money web page.

* Develop a free account on 4 additional Web 2.0 properties (for example: blogspot.com, weebly.com, multiply.com, tumblr.com...).

* Publish 4 unique articles with no less than 300 words which are related to the article on your money web page on those 4 Web 2.0 websites.

* 3 of those 4 Web 2.0 websites you simply created link to your "Gateway" Web 2.0 site. One of those four Web 2.0 properties does not hyperlink to the "Gateway" web page - that's essential.

* Also, those 4 Web 2.0 websites hyperlink to one another in a circular way: Site 1 backlinks to web site 2; site 2 backlinks to site 3; site 3 backlinks to site 4 and site 4 backlinks to site 1.

* Develop inbound links to virtually all those 5 Web 2.0 properties. You can easily accomplish this with a software like Backlink Energizer. The more inbound links along with the greater quality one way links you develop, the much more link juice you may transfer to your money web page by means of your "Gateway" Web 2.0 page along with the greater you may rank. Ideal are easy to automate one way links, for example social bookmarking, mass article submission, profile backlinks...

Link magnets can be very powerful. I had websites that were stuck somewhere at position 25-30 and 15-20 days after developing a simple link magnet, those websites jumped to position 5-10 and along with a few additional quality backlinks I got them into the top 3 in Google.
