Backlinking is crazy these days. It’s hard to figure out how to get your link on sites that will greatly effect your PR ranking. The most legitimate way is to create a top notch site with great content and the links will come.
“If you build it, they will come.”
But, there are ways to reach out and get those links. What I have found is that you can greatly increase your online effectiveness by finding viral ways of gaining backlinks.
Viral is a term that many of us use to express when the internet community gets a hold of something we have created and spins it themselves. You find your digital products all over the internet because they’re useful and people love sharing. It’s another legitimate link building strategy because people are freely adding your products to their sites. No spam. No phish. Just free sharing.
So, there are several ways to make this happen. The most effective is by creating software that sites can use. I’m not talking about downloadable software that a person or company can use on their computer. But, software that they install on their site for others to use.
In recent years, I have literally watched thousands of variations pop up all over the place. I have seen money conversion software and personal search engines. I have seen graphics generators and photo editing software. The premise was that the software was on the site. You had to use it on the site and you were able to download it and install it on your site for your visitors to use.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. But, you need something that fits your site’s niche. That’s where most of your thoughts are going to need to focus. What could your industry use that you can create and distribute digitally that other sites will find useful and have to install on their sites for their visitors to use?
Don’t miss any key point. Go through each question and neither of them can go unanswered.
What digital product could your industry use?
How can you make it so that other sites can use it as a tool on their own sites?
For a few examples of this idea in action, visit some sites that you visit all the time and most of them have neat gadgets they will let you use as long as you keep their information intact. The prime example would be the video games that you can play on game sites. If they allow you to install those games on your site, you can let your visitors play those games as long as you keep the embedded link code intact and that is the viral strategy that allows that video game programmer to gain links on every site displaying that game.
Did you know that you can create software easily with a Software Generation Program? Read through the website and take a look at just a few of the suggestions it has for what kind of software you can create. It gives you ideas you can use. Just modify those ideas to your niche.
This next example might seem a bit harder. But Wordpress Themes, once the hard part is done of getting them built, are the easiest way to virally distribute your link. If you can learn php language and write yourself a theme, you should try to make the most dynamic theme available with the most functionality and versatility. If the blog community likes your theme, they will use it. Hundreds and thousands of bloggers with your theme leads to hundreds and thousands of backlinks because you embedded your link in them.
Do you know that there are free Wordpress Theme building tutorials?
Also, did you know that you can use this robust Wordpress Theme Generator to create beautiful Wordpress Themes and submit them to the community for free distribution?
The next example is the easiest. There are plenty of tutorials for creating Wordpress Plugins. Plugins help bloggers increase the functionality of their sites without having to hack code. They simply install the plugin and activate it. These plugins always have links to the programmer. That could be you!
There is a plethora of wordpress plugin tutorials online. From videos to ebooks and everything in between, you can have fun learning how easy it is. All you need is an idea, then learn the hooks and functionality to make it happen.
One way to learn is to download a plugin and open up the code in notepad to see how it works.
These are just a few ideas that I hope you use your imagination and come up with some of your own. When you use viral ideas, you have no idea how big your backlinks can build.
