10,000 Backlinks to your Build a Niche Store in Less than 1 Hour!

Edit: When I wrote this post I thought it was a great idea… turn out it got a site banned from Google. DO NOT DO THIS!! I am leaving the post online only for the recorded value… again – DO NOT DO THIS! 

Long post folks… no video here, just a bunch of words and explanations on how to build 10,000 backlinks to your BANS site in less than an Hour.

Sitting yet?…

Before I get deep into this (don’t you hate it when I do that?) ask yourself 1 question: “Am I into Affiliate Marketing for Short Term Pocket Money, or Long Term Wealth?” If you answered short term pocket money, you can stop reading here.. this doesn’t apply to you!

OK… so how the hell do you get 10,000 inbound links to a Niche Store in less than 1 hour? You are gonna smack yourself as you read this answer… it’s that simple! I spent a good bit of last night looking through my domain database. Currently, between Kim and I, we have a total of 79 build a niche stores running on one server (only about 25-30 are optimized) and 11 on a different account. On the same server account (We have a baby croc plan for one account, and a hostgator reseller account on another)  we have 16 automated blogs, 2 directories, 1 site running Niche Site Script (testing the program, so far so good) 1 article directory, and several additional “try this” type affiliate sites. That is a total of 125 of our 650 +/- domains, with actual content or indexed pages.

It took me a total of about 2-3 hours to go through each site and count the pages in the search indexes. I only checked the big three and of course, Google shows less than others.

  • Google: 7390
  • Yahoo: 8117
  • MSN: 7734

Its all about building your foundation for the first 6 months to a year of affiliate marketing. That doesn’t mean you won’t make money during that time! It means that within 6-12 months, the tasks that consume your time right now will get easier! Right now, it may seem like a chore to get a site launched, get the first steps of optimization completed, and get those all important inbound links. It can however, be done in less than 1 hour a day! I would bet that within the next 30 days, ANY of you could walk through the install to linking portion, to the tune of 7-10 sites EACH WEEK with little to no effort! Yes, you will have some domains to buy, but they will pay for themselves in short order…

Looking at the page index numbers above, I could probably spend an hour or so and develop a text file that acts as an “include” file. I can then “include” this file into the right side navigation, the bottom content section (not footer file) or just about anywhere on a large number of these indexed sites and get an almost immediate boost in my incoming one-way links! Granted, having sitewide links (a link on every page of a website) provides less link juice than a single or just few links on a domain, but think of the possibilities when I have 100 more of these niche sites out there… 100,000 indexed pages!! I would be able to use the power of already indexed sites to instantly increase the popularity of my newly launched domains!

For obvious reasons, I would not want to choose one new website and immediately throw that link into all of the indexed pages, but if I was to develop a plan where I systematically add and remove pages from the “include file”, this would make it look a bit more natural….

6-12 months from now, when you have 50-100 sites running BANS or any other type of site you push out, how easy will it be for you? Set yourself a goal of indexed pages within the first year, say 10,000? How many sites will you need to develop? How deep will your categories need to be?

You always hear… get links on sites with the highest PR (Google PageRank) you can find! This is true to a point, but all those PR-0 pages, well there is value to them also!

Shortly, I will try this method on a few sites… I will report my findings back here for all of you to try out on your own! This may just be a great way to avoid the dreaded Google age filter! (aka sandbox)

Mark

EDIT:: Clarification….

Download this file (Right click and choose SAVE AS to your hard drive) Once you have the file, rename it to link-includes.htm and change the text or link array in the file, you can see I actually wrote a small sentence about my own links.

Upload it to one of your domain accounts. For me, I used this domain and the file is located in the main root: www.thenichestorebuilder .com/link-includes.htm

From here, I went into the www.getaracecar.com site and in the template section, I added a php function JUST BELOW MY LEFT ADS in header.php, to call the file from this server.

<?=$front->leftNav();?>
<? include(“http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com/link-includes.htm”); ?>

(I suggest copying and pasting that to notepad BEFORE using it in your header file)

Now, I could realistically repeat this on 50 domains in the next hour or so… all calling the same file. It will display the same linkset on all servers.

Hope that helped…

    Mark,

    I’m not sure I know what you mean by an “include file”. Do you mean creating a file with your store links and then pasting that into the ads section or navigation section….or what??

    Ok, I admit it. I have no clue what you are talking about with this. Will you please explain a little more? And do we need to host with multiple companies for this to work?

    Mark,

    I’ll reiterate Rochelle’s 2nd question … would the fact that we have all our sites hosted at the same place cause a problem?

    Since HostGator is shared hosting anyway, I don’t understand why this should really be a problem but “some people” are always advocating having multiple host providers and interlinking it all.

    While that might work for those who have assistants/employees and make lots of money, for those of us who are one-person businesses and not making a lot of money, trying to juggle all those balls can be overwhelming and virtually impossible.

    I like the overall idea though … very ingenious!

    Yes, that’s much better!

    So, in a nutshell, you create the ‘includes’ text and install in on one of your domains. That is the anchor file (where all websites draw the links from).

    Then install a small piece of code into the header.php (below the ‘Ads’ header) of each BANS site (or web sites).

    Keep the links as is or change them up whenever you want by simply editing the ‘includes’ text. When you change the ‘includes’ text then all sites with this code will update the links shown.

    Brilliant!!

    Thank you so much for the clarification.

    @ Cindy and Rochelle -

    Cindy, the jury is out on whether shared hosting kills link juice or not. I have read several posts on popular blogs that it makes no difference, and I have seen just the opposite, saying DONT DO IT. What I have not seen, is proof that either is good or bad.

    Hostgator, while it is shared hosting, assigns one IP address to your account, therefore all sites would originate from the same IP. There will come a point when you reach the limits of your baby-croc plan, likely around 50 sites with low to moderate traffic. You will peg your drive space and bandwidth on the account… at that point, open another baby-croc plan and start fresh again, you are only reinvesting in your business.

    The way I will do this on my own sites is like this:

    Create 5-10 of these include files, and comment a date in the top so you know when it was last updated. Make sure none of the links in each file, share a link with any of the other links in the same file! This creates ONE WAY LINKS.

    Use different include files for different groups of domains, in other words, the sites in the first include file, will only be called from the sites in the SECOND include file.

    etc etc…

    In regard to having a team of people, I am but one person!! Kim (my wife) while she does help with some stuff occassionally, believe or not, we do each of our own sites separately!

    I fully believe in focusing on what you do best and getting others to do the task based stuff. I will pay someone $15 in a heartbeat to submit to 200 directories by hand as long as they provide a report of the links etc.

    Once your sites are earning money, make it a goal to pay yourself first, but only %50 of the net profit. Take that other 50% and use it to buy more domains, rent a coder to do text entry, link building etc. It will be the best money you can spend! Over time, you will see that $100 / month spent on others will pay for itself X20 in gained productivity, and overall earnings. We spend about $150-$200 per month on site promotion, small coding projects, etc.

    Mark I can tell you have been thinking again.

    Great plan. Unless I missed something the only issue I could see with this strategy would be have the same exact link text everywhere.

    I don’t think google likes that as it tends to look automated.

    If I am on the right track I believe it would be necessary to have multiple files that would have different text and link text.

    I would have to agree a little with James on this. The risk is looking too automated. Mark, what about creating multiple include files and then randomly selecting one to insert on a page? Meaning, break up all of your links across multiple include files…

    link-includes01.htm
    link-includes02.htm
    link-includes03.htm
    etc.

    and then populate the store pages as…
    store page 1:
    store page 2:
    store page 3:

    It would be interesting to see if this appears more random. Yes, it would be more work maintaining. Maybe even just rename the files to mix things up. Hmmm… thinking/typing out loud.

    Keep us posted Mark! Thanks.

    oops… the post stripped the code… so…

    store page 2: include file: link-includes02.htm
    store page 3: include file: link-includes03.htm

    Hope that makes sense.

    From what I have read, (some of it from top people) it is quite important to have the (most) links from a different IP address. Apparently it is the C class, the third group of numbers, that is the most important.

    I am on baby croc with hostgator at the moment, but as soon as I can justify it I will upgrade to a reseller. With that it is possible to have different C classes. Then one would of course links in sites hosted in C class 1 to those in C class 2 etc.

    The only thing that makes me doubt this is that a while back I checked up on who else in HG shares my IP address. At that time there were 1200 sites (including those belonging to a friend, who signed up the same day). So is it logical that the big G would penalise people who have the same IP just by pure chance….

    No doubt that 1200 has grown a lot by now, I have doubled my own sites, so has my friend.

    Also, bit off topic, but what if some of those 1200 have “adult” topics or worse……

    There must be some protection in the sytem surely?

    But other than those doubts, I would expect these inter-site links to be treated by Google virtually as internal links – ie a lot less juice.

    I have a few PR3 and PR4 sites that I run so I have put one-way links on them. The PR4 site has 160k pages in Google but not all of the pages are PR4s of course.

    I’ll wait to see how your experiment works before I give it a try :)

    Wow…this is pretty good stuff. I can’t say I completely understand how to get this accomplished…but then again, I haven’t tried it yet!

    One thing I do have a question about…is relevance. If I’m understanding this correctly, you’re basically creating a HUGE link web between your BANS sites/pages. But, I was under the impression that if the links aren’t relevant, they are no good???

    …am I off on this?

    Well – This topic definitely brought out several opinions! First let me say that the BEST way to get links is 100% natural! Where people just link to you because they like your site! Good luck with an aff-ili-ate site!

    Directories carry much less juice than they used to, unlkess you get into one of the top directories like DMOZ (good luck) that is considered authority.

    Like I was saying in the post, I have yet to see any definitive proof that it is harmful. Keep in mind, we are not listing 150 links in a sidebar to 150 other irrelevant websites. 10-15 links to 10-15 different sites within the same IP address. It is not a link farm or linking scheme, but an honest to goodness set of resources for site visitors who may like your other websites.

    If you have a baby-croc plan, which is what most HG accounts are setup with, did you know that you share your IP with more than 1000, sometimes several thousand websites? Run a whois on your own domain and look at your IP, then whois you IP… it is not safe to assume that it is harmful if it is true linking… otherwise, you would be penalized if you linked to ANY site within the same ip (Which there is no definitive proof of) and vice versa…

    I FULLY realize the theory that linking sites across the same IP range is not the “Best” way of getting inbound links to your sites… as I said above, natural is by far the best way.

    I have read long and hard about this subject… there are many in authority who say dont interlink ANY of your own websites, as they are not natural link…

    I have read just as many who say, do it and be rewarded!

    I will run a test on the Hybrid-clubs site next site… and we can revisit it in a few weeks to see how it has done.

    There is a script out there that does the same thing with a little more flexibility. Its called Linktator. It has both a paid version and free version. The free version you give up about 10% of the links to the owner.

    It has a similar include file that you can specify how many links to display on your site. It generates the random number of URLs you select on each page view.

    I have had this for a few years but, haven’t used it lately because I wasn’t sure whether I would be penalized for linking to domains from the same IP address. What Mark said about same IP address issue seems to make sense so I might try it.

    When I first tried it most said to put it in your footer at the very bottom? Must have been a reason?

    If you want to take a look its at: http://www.linktator.com/ (Not an affiliate link).

    Okay this sounds great and boy you’ve put some time into this and yes I reckon even I’d give it a shot.

    Except you have to be careful otherwise you’ll suffer the “google slap”.

    No I’m not knocking what is proposed, but as some will know, if you have a NEW SITE and suddenly your hits go from 200 a day to 6000 you run the risk of getting slapped by google and basically this means your site gets outted by google.

    If you slowly increase your backlinks and I don’t mean 5 -10 per week, and progressively increase the ratio it will appear natural and all will be well.

    Now I talk from experience here. I had 3 sites all of which were on the first page of google and in the top 4 and all 3 sites got outted and they are still not ranking. This happened in October last year.

    All I am saying here is tread cautiously.

    I say again, what mark has put forward here is awesome and will work very well.

    Wow, this topic got beat to death, but I’ll add my 2 cents anyways.

    From my experience, I have not seen anything negative from linking to your own relevant sites. I have a dedicated server at Godaddy, just so that I have 3 different Ip’s.

    Like Mark said – good luck on getting other sites linking to you, if your an affiliate site – it is freaking hard. Very hard – that’s why expired domains work so well.

    When I frist started with Bans 1.x – I was using the include file way to linking. But I didn’t promote my sites by linking to others, so they lost their PR, still in Google though.

    I also tried with a header design – like my musician sites – keyboardmusicalinstruments.com – they are linked in the header.

    There are so many ways you can do this, you could even put your links under your google ads in the left or right columns – making your own links look like another ad. So if a user does leave, they may go to another site you own which =equals more clicks.

    How about throwing up a video with a link to your site. You don’t actually have to do the video yourself simply set up a small 4 page site using a free platform,wordpress,blogger,weebly. name the site relative to your niche. Insert a video from youtube thats relative to your topic. Tag the video relative to your niche and then link to your niche from each of the pages.
    Goolge loves videos and you’ll be surprised how quickly your new site gets indexed.
    Mark mentioned this in a round about way the other week.

    @ George -

    It looks like you actually have a few javascript errors on the same page (linked in your comment)…

    email me the code in your header or footer directly, so I can look at it. The most common issue is with the html getting skewed on the parenthsis key. It will turn them sideways if copy/pasted from a site like this…

    In your target url portion of the include code, just erase your parenthesis and retype them by hand, see if that works.

    OK – So today, kinda under the radar… I created 5 include files, each having a short sentence describing my newest site. Designer Shoes

    I have loaded the 5 includes to my server and at the same time, setup 5 different websites to call a single file each.

    In total, there are more than 920 pages indexed on the sites I used for this, 4 are on the same server, 1 is not. 4 of the 5 sites have a PR of 2 or higher… and the other one is a PR1.

    In addition, I am going to add the site to my “Current Projects” blogroll on the middle right column of this site.

    The test has begun!

    Mark,

    Google definitely clamps down on interlinking sites on the same Class C grouping. They basically will potentially footprint all of the sites, and it can have a really bad effect on your rankings.

    A good solution for getting a more varied IP profile is Hostgator’s sister hosting service seohosting.com. The have different packages but the one I have is $35/month for 5 separate class C IPs, each with unlimited addon domains. Very handy. I will warn you, however, that this is a new service for Hostgator and their documentation and support is not yet at the level of their main Hostgator business.

    I know its not the preferred method of linking, but I have still yet to see anything solid on this.

    Just to clarify, I KNOW from years of experience… and I know from years of experience with design work, it is not the best way of getting inbound links.

    I am experimenting with it right now and will report reults back in about 27 more days! :-)

    I have read just as many white hat SEO articles saying it hurts as I have saying they have not seen repercussion from doing it.

    Just a test here…
