First thing first, what is an SEO Backlink? How is it different from backlink?

Quoting the definition from Wikipedia, “Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page.”

Technically, a backlink looks like this:

<a href=”http://yourdomain.com”>whatever text or can be the url itself</a>

Backlinks are important, especially in determining the PageRank of your web page. But to rank high in organic search result, especially in Google, the most popular search engine, you need more than just backlink. You need SEO Backlink.

The difference?

Here’s my definition of SEO Backlink: “SEO backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page, with keywords in the link title (a.k.a anchor text).”

Technically, an SEO backlink looks like this:

<a href=”http://yourdomain.com”>keywords to rank in search engine</a>

For example, a website may have lots of backlinks but it may not be able to rank high in Google for any keyword it wishes. To rank high for a particular keyword, say “buy iphone”, the website needs to have lots of backlinks with “buy iphone” in their anchor texts.

A Classic Example Showing The Power Of SEO Backlinks

In the SEO world, there is a classic example that can quickly show you the importance of SEO backlink.

The example is…. “click here”.

If you haven’t known the answer, guess who ranks #1 in Google for the phrase “click here”?

It’s the Adobe Reader download page.

If you study that download page, you’ll realize that you can’t find the phrase “click here” on that webpage at all, not in the meta tag, title tag or within the content!

So why does this webpage rank #1 for “click here”?

There is only one reason: tons of other websites are linking to this webpage with the anchor text “click here” or “click here to download”.

By the way, the #1 position for “click here to download” is also the Adobe Reader download page.

Are you seeing the light now?

Get Ready For A Revolutionary One-Way Link Building System

Over the past 1 year, I’ve been working extremely hard on a powerful one-way link building system that can help you to build not just a few hundreds but unlimited backlinks for unlimited domains. (You know that I run hundreds of niche sites. If this system can satisfy my needs, I guess it can satisfy most marketers’ needs.)

The system is now completed and it is now undergoing beta testing with some 130 LeadsLeap members. Thanks to all the feedbacks from the beta members, we’re busy improving the system. I’ll keep you’re informed when the system is ready.

    Kenneth,

    I just received the email about the Article directory strategy for one way links and it looks very interesting. The only questions I have are how does the system protect against duplicate content and what type of PR can be expected?

    If you have a good answer for those 2 questions I am in.

    Comment by Kenneth Koh
    2009-11-15 14:02:45

    1. All submitted articles must be spun. With our stringent spinning requirement, each submitted article is capable of generating hundreds or even thousands of unique articles.
    2. PR is subject to individuals’ sites. But what’s important is with our unique dual-linking algorithm, the PR of all the domains in the system will increase. So even for domains with no PR will see its PR increase after using the system for some time.

    You’re exactly right! Backlinks DO make such a difference in website rankings… Your example of the PR4 website that was totally forgotten is a great example.

    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for letting us know. I will be on the lookout for that email!

    This kind of strategy works so well but too often, I forget about doing it when I’m in the midst of creating backlinks. Looking forward to seeing how your new system works.

    Ok I’m curious. Will you be using relevant blogs to create these backlinks? I have been using this method for awhile and been getting good results, especially if you have a new site and want your it indexed by Gooogle fast.

    Comment by Kenneth Koh
    2009-11-14 09:16:18

    There are two answers to this question. The textbook answer is you should create backlinks from relevant content (doesn’t have to be relevant blog). But my experience shows that any link counts.

    Backlink is indeed very important for link building. If you want your website to rank well with search engines, obviously the more backlinks the better.

    Kenneth, your one-way link building system looks interesting. Your 120 days money back guarantee is splendid too. In my opinion even if we don’t submit articles to component #1, I suppose backlinks generated by the existing articles will be beneficial to the domain as a whole since the article directory is seated there. Of course if we want more backlinks it’s best to submit more articles! Correct me, if I’m wrong.

    I got my first website set up, but writing articles with all that spinning is going to be a learning experience for me. I would sure like to see some real life examples.

    2009-11-17 16:55:49

    Two websites added. Not overly difficult.

    Article Spinning - thats not fun for me. I can spin the body of articles fairly easily to achieve the required level of uniqueness, but I’m having a major problem with achieving the requirements with regard to the title.

    Comment by Roger Langford
    2009-11-17 20:25:23

    I write articles and submit them to article directories but do not spin them. This is because it is important to me that my articles make sense when being read by people. When readers see my name I want them to think. This article will be worth reading.
    Like cheap PLR articles, spun articles are often so jumbled up that invariably they do not make sense. But if all you want is back-links then this is no problem.

    Two ideas that work for us, targeting keywords and quality of article focused on one item. The closer you match your article content with the keywords the better the results, simple and it works. The most important is the article itself, if you can not write an article that creates interest, then rewrite it.

     
    2009-11-18 14:08:31

    I missed the e-mail for the beta testers =/ . it would’ve been nice to be a part of the beta team. I hope it over delivers and comes with a nice price tag ;p

     
    2009-11-23 11:19:34

    good article about seo backlink.
    I also do the same think when I leaving backlink to other website, but the most important thing to consider is choosing the perfect keyword. If we just using common kerword, than we will competing with thousand website. better we just using “niche” keyword that have low competition but give us enough visitor.

    Well I don’t agree totally with the use of keywords in the link title. You have to use different keyword phrases to be sure that your site won’t be banned by google. Only one keyword phrase is bad SEO.

     
    2010-08-19 11:31:48

    I’d like to build on your post for the others. It’s important to note that a variety keywords in your anchor text should used.

    Backlinks are definitely very important to build the links. But I find that the page rank for the particular page is more important. If there are more backlinks coming from more authority sites, then it’s easier to rank.

    Backlinks are very important to search engine rankings. Equally important is the Anchor used in the backlink. I think often times people just choose a keyword at random and never look to see if that keyword is best for them. For instance. Say I want to rank for “great pizza” and it has aprox 10,000 monthly searches. Look at the search results for that keyword. I like to add the page rank for each 10 results in to a total number and go…the PR of that page is 42, meaning an average page rank of 4.2. Then look at the phrase “best Pizza” it has 20,000 searches, with and average search page rank of 3.8. Why go after “great pizza”.
