The most frequently asked question I get is; “What is the best link building campaign (to achieve higher rankings obviously)?”
Of course it’s very different for each site, market, keywords and so on. Which is why we offer our services in small packages, so you can order them monthly in combination with each other.
First thing first; url’s & keywords; as long you or your seo-company keeps track of those and can provide us with it, that’s the best way, no doubt about that.
If not; keyword ranking report – it provides for a large number of pages the best keywords(phrases) and their rankings, so we have the data to work with and as a bonus; it’s very, very valuable for you to look at and follow up on your seo.
We offer 3 services;
Of course there are other link building tactics, but these 3 are ‘a sure bet’, and they work together very well. From the 200 different factors, the anchor text links from related, high PR pages is still the most important one.
While the best way to get those are the blog comments, then the articles and last are the directory submissions; when you put a price on them it’s the other way around.
Which means that for the same $XX you spend, you do get more or less the same total link value out of it … because that’s how I’ve been balancing these packages as best as possible over the years J
So, these are my monthly packages for it;
- Blog commenting : 50 total-PR blog commenting – $110
- Article writing & submissions : 1 article writing + 50 article submissions – $100
- Directory submissions : 250 homepage + 5×50 deep-linking = 500 manual directory submissions – $155
So, basically – yes, I’m suggesting that you simply take 1 package of each per month, or if your budget is limited you can change each time you order; point being; it’s the combination of them that will eventually do the trick.
But ok, let me give me a few important pointers; (all tactics give related links!)
- Biggest Advantage:
- High PR links
- Disadvantages:
- It’s just really is really hard!
- requires a lot of research (very expensive)
- native English writers (more expensive)
- mostly no anchor text link
- mostly no deep-linking
- Important:
- It’s mostly about high PR links without anchor text, but that still means that your homepage gets more PR and rather fast with these links, and so your homepage becomes that related, high PR page where you have 100% control over the anchor texts links used to link to other pages and that does show in the rankings!
- Advantages:
- Consistent
- As well decent PR links as large amount of links
- very, very good for anchor text deep-linking
- the more you do it, the better it actually gets
- Disadvantages:
- native English writers (more expensive)
- Important:
- That’s why it says consistent as first advantage – there are no major disadvantages. It’s just not cheap.
- Advantages:
- Cheap = you can get a really lot of links = the effect can by spectacular sometimes (as long you have PR already).
- Although average PR is rather low, the category tree structure and the other listings on the same page as your listing make the pages very related, this in combination with the large amount you get from it, the results are there.
- Disadvantages:
- You cannot do it forever!
- Simply put: 500 really very good directories, 500 good ones, then another 500-1000 just good enough, that’s it, those other 30.000 directories are or paid or crap.
- Once you have done about 1.500 directory submissions we can still do another 500 every few months, but then it’s just exhausted as a decent link building tactic.
- Note:
- As a last resource there are the semi-automated directory submissions; there are constantly new directories being created, to get into those from in the beginning will give you good links in the long run and it’s just $25 for 250 semi-automated directory submissions.

I have finally decided to also accept blog comment orders without the extra cost for the research.
What does this mean? Well, we’ll use blogs we already have in our lists.
We already have hundreds and hundreds of blogs that have been checked for the different quality requirements, so we can cover most topics anyway. But … of course it will not always be that related.
How we determine the relevancy; imagine a directory = a category tree, the research is aimed to find blogs that belong to the same sub-category as your site. While without the research we will still select the most related blogs first of course, but as long they belong to the same top-category we’ll use them.
For example; your site is about a hotel; any blog we find in the category travel will do, you have a site about apartment; any blog about real-estate will be used.
You don’t like that? You want the blogs to be much closer related? No problem! -> $150 for the research!
Sure you want only PR5 links with anchor text links from pages with hardly any other outgoing links and very related to your topic … no problem -> $250 for the research!
Next issue: name links or anchor text links – it’s basically a choice between high PR or anchor text links, for sure there are some exceptions to the rule, but most really good blogs with high PR (and no spam on it!), will not accept anchor text links, only a name. While most blogs that do accept anchor text links usually are just not that good and have an average of PR1-2 and some PR3. Then again, sure, there are PR4-5 blogs out there accepting anchor text (=keywords) links and as long they’re also related to your topic we’ll use them of course.
Whether you should go for the high PR links or for the anchor text links depends on your site structure, other links, current rankings etc.
- Do you have a large site and you’re ranking for a lot of sub-pages?
- Are you losing indexed pages in google?
- Already doing directory submissions and/or articles (= you already get lots of anchor text links)
- new web site and you don’t have any PR yet (which you need to get good results from directory submissions)
è use the high PR blogs
- Do you have a few keywords/keyphrases you really, really have to rank for with your homepage
è use the anchor text blogs
The higher the PR, the harder it is to find those pages and the more time and effort we put into writing the comment, for high PR pages that basically means that for each comment we actually write like a mini article which requires research on the topic of the post. We do this first of all to make sure the comment gets approved of course, but also to have the link surrounded with a long related text (although we don’t do keyword stuffing – that would results in too many rejections). This while for low PR anchor text links the total amount of comments we do is more important, so we write much shorter comments, we work faster. That’s why the prices are set according the PR of the page.
But then there’s the next issue; we can’t give you PR6-7 links if there are no PR6-7 pages out there related to your site (google does devalue the link if it’s not from a related page!). That’s why we don’t sell them as x amount of comments, but we sell the total amount of PR of all the pages where the links are placed.
For example: 3 PR4 links + 4 PR2 links = 20 total-PR of the pages where you’ll get the links from.
The price is very easy; $2.5/PR, so 3 PR4 links + 4 PR2 links = 20 total-PR x $2 = $50 USD
($2.5 USD = £ 1.65 GBP = $2.70 AUD) – which translate in this table;
| PR | USD | GBP | AUD |
| 1 PR6 link | $ 15.00 | $ 9.90 | $ 16.20 |
| 1 PR5 link | $ 12.50 | $ 8.25 | $ 13.50 |
| 1 PR4 link | $ 10.00 | $ 6.60 | $ 10.80 |
| 1 PR3 link | $ 7.50 | $ 4.95 | $ 8.10 |
| 1 PR2 link | $ 5.00 | $ 3.30 | $ 5.40 |
| 1 PR1 link | $ 2.50 | $ 1.65 | $ 2.70 |
To order you can go here:
So, make your choice;
- high PR to improve your site as a whole, get more PR as well on the homepage as sub-pages, get more pages indexed and improve all the rankings of all your keywords … slightly!
- anchor text links to improve the rankings of the specific keywords/keyphrases (for the homepage!)
and select the total PR of the pages where you’ll get the links from.

If you want to get a higher PR rating then one of the first things you have to do is to post comments on a regular basis on blogs with the same subject matter as your website. Here is a quick run through on how blog posting works and what it can accomplish.
Blogs have turned out to be popular with both internet users and the search engines, this is mainly because they get a higher PR than an ordinary website. Posting comments in associated blogs can earn you important links fast.
Commenting on a blog means that you are adding original and fresh content all the time, this is the main reason behind why blogs get a higher PR rating. By posting a comment on a blog you will receive a valuable link.
There is a lot of research that goes into finding first-rate quality blogs that are applicable to you, and can give you SEO-friendly, one-way, direct links. Part of an SEO company’s task is to offer a blog comment service and comment posting, they search through hundreds of blogs in an effort to locate the superior ones that have applicable and valid content, and nearly every website is exclusive which means this research has to be undertaken independently for each client. But it isn’t only what’s on the website that matters, the PR rating also has to be a high value.
When employing the services of an SEO company, it’s not particularly the link you are paying for as it is quite easy to post a comment on a blog yourself. The main part the SEO company plays is locating the blog. Finding a quality blog that has relevance to your product or service is difficult and time consuming and you can end up wasting a lot of time and effort for little reward. An SEO company can do all this for you by researching associated blogs and unearthing those that will have an effect.
Posting comments in blogs can start once all the blog research has been completed and this is when the high quality links are created. For regular links it is important to post frequently. Links can be PR2-3-4, and even PR5-6 links.
It takes a lot of commitment and effort in finding suitable blogs. Research is carried out on the key terms and other words that users are likely to use when looking for a website similar to yours.
The SEO company will look at high quality websites that have similarities to your topic to see what links they have. Competitors can also be found by entering your keywords into Google to find the highest ranking for those words and then identifying their links.
Once the checks are complete a program called Fast Blog Finder checks for the quality. The SEO company then has to confirm the blogs are still in use and have relevance to your website content.
The amount of blogs left after all these checks really depends on what your website is about. If there are not very many remaining this is good as it means you don’t have a lot of competition and not many comments have to be posted to try and outrank your competitors. 4 or 5 first-rate, high PR blogs are plenty for a good result from the commenting.
To post a comment is relatively simple, at first the articles and comments are read and then a comment is posted related to the subject. Once the comment is received it is turned into a link.
To post a comment you have to type in your name and the URL of your homepage. Once approval is received, click on your name (anchor-text) and there is the link.
Spam is a nuisance for blogs so many facilitate the use of a captcha to prevent this and also may ask you to login. If the SEO company feels the security measures are taking up too much time for what they are worth, they will disregard the blog.
A good blog will have a high PR and be totally appropriate for your website. After all the research is done and comments are posted, you will get the list of superior blogs to post comments on them yourself.
A first-class SEO company provides blog commenting services and blog posting services. Take a look online for an honest and recognized company to facilitate blogging services.

Although the concept of link building might seem very straight forward, there’s more to it than just getting those links.
Your overall link profile is very important. It keeps on amazing me how many people have no clue, yet spend a lot of money on buying links or link building services.
2 of the most common problems many web site owners make;
1) Only links to the homepage – and even worse – trying to get your homepage to rank for all your keyphrases – big mistake!
2) Ignoring the links from your own pages – what a waste!
Now, before I go on; this blogs offers basic information about SEO and link building, but every site is different, that’s why you don’t have to be shy to contact me and ask advice. That’s what we do as SEO-consultants and we do it for free.
Free? What’s the catch? I hear you think. Simple; I want you to be impressed by our SEO knowledge, dedication to personal service and especially my honesty, this so I can convince you to order from us. Point being; SEO is an ongoing process, partly because some of your links will lose value or even disappear all together, but that’s not the biggest issue. The main reason why you can never stop with SEO is simply because the other sites want to jump over you in the rankings and therefore are spending time and money on their own SEO and link building. So, just to maintain a position you already have to keep on going with your SEO.
In other words, each time I can convince a new client to start ordering from us, I know that we’re in business for a long time to come. Not just because you’ll need it, but also because we will do whatever it takes to keep you satisfied and so to keep getting your orders.
You see, honesty is 1 of my strong points. But ok, enough about me and our free SEO-consult service. Back the issue at hand; typical SEO mistakes to avoid.
Ok, problem 1) – only links to the homepage.
Let me go straight to the solution and the reasons why to do this differently; first of all it doesn’t look natural, but even more so; links accumulate value. 10 links to 10 pages is worth more than 100 links to 1 page. Because the way google calculates links and their value, which they express in PageRank (PR), it simply gives more value to have links to as many pages as possible. let me put it like this; links pointing to the same page add up, while links pointing to different pages, and of course those pages linking to each other get multiplied! that’s your gain.
Another example in this category; many times a get a new client who made the mistake of getting homepage links only, and as usually that shows as the homepage might have PR3-4 for example, while the sub-pages have PR0 or even PR non-available. whenever I’m able to convince the site owner to finally get links to the sub-pages, it usually just takes a few links to each of those pages to get those pages all of a sudden to jump from PR0 to PR3-4 just like the homepage, and I’m not even talking about high PR links, not just some of the easy to get (=cheap for you) links will do.
This brings us to the point about links from your own pages. Well, once your own internal pages actually have value, you can use those pages to link to any other page, and even more so, with the exact keyphrase as anchor text, as you need it.
I find it amazing how many people don’t realize that many times the very best links you can actually get are links from your pages, in other words links that are right there for you to grab with a minimum of effort.
That’s it for now, keep reading this blog for tips and advice, but don’t hesitate to contact us for free SEO consultancy or a SEO-quote.
As we said before, your aim is to get your website ranking high in the search engines. How successful you are in achieving this all depends on its online visibility. When we talk about visibility we are not only talking about internet users’ awareness of the site, we also mean how visible it is to the search engines. This visibility doesn’t just happen, it all comes down to hard work and continually building links.
The search engines decision as to where to place your website in the ranking system is due to a number of aspects. The most important aspect is building links and how valuable these links are. The more quality, one-way links your website has, the higher up the ranking system the search engine will place it. It may all sound straight-forward, but it is not so simple to get relevant one-way links from quality websites.
There are many directories in the World Wide Web but many of them are of poor quality and low standards. The first thing you need to do to achieve high quality links is to submit your website only to those directories of quality. Once you have found a good quality directory, submit your site under a suitable category. Certain details will then need to be filled in, the URL, keywords and your websites title with a short description.
After you have submitted your website details to a directory, this doesn’t mean it is automatically approved. Any directory of quality will manually assess the manual web site submission they receive. The editor of the directory will check through the details you registered with and evaluate whether the website contains original and relevant information and content. If the submission is approved, then you will receive a link from the directory. This is a valuable link to receive as these directories make an effort to maintain high standards for themselves by taking the time to manually check details.
Once you have your link from the directory, your website will be placed in a suitable category. This makes it all very simple for the search engines to locate your site and decide how relevant it is. The titles you entered when registering for the directory, become the ‘anchor’ or the ‘link text’ that link the directories to your site and the description you gave will appear under this title.
Now that you realize the titles you submit when you are registering for the directories become the links to your site, consider submitting titles with the purpose of targeting specific key terms or phrases for which you want to rank. How the search engines rate your website is dependent on the anchor text of the links, so you will get a higher ranking if you target specific terms in your anchor text.
