Backlinks that pay you


Back-linking with Best Reviewer  is a wonderful way to both build those important one way links while also making a little bit of money on the side.

Best reviewer is a great site for back-links. Not only can you get your back-links quickly. But it pays amazing well. Maybe it is the format for everything on the site being a "list" but for me personally this site make more money than most of my other adsense site combined. It sill only about $10 a month, but I don't back-link for adsense at all. It is all for the link. So this is like $10 free.


Best reviewers works on what it calls "tops" You can make a list of anything you desire and have a link at each entry. For instance I could make a list of "my top ten Squidoo lenses" have the anchor text want for each and get 10 links. Simple and easy.

First you need an intro for each top. This can be a long intro, but normally all you need is 2 sentences or so. Then of course things like tags. category and picture (optional). You must also choose how many items you wish to enter (a minimum of 3. Maximum 100). Every article will start with Top X then the article title (with X= the number of entries)

Then you have 3 spots per entry on best reviewer:

1. Is anchor text. This will become a link to the site you link or will be a header if you do not choose to link here.
2. Is Body. This is optional after 3 entries. But your first 3 must hav something here. 1-2 sentences is fine for a description here.
3. The link you want to link (This is optional.  You do not have to link anything here)

There is also a "conclusion" block that is optional.

Easy enough!


The strength of using Best reviewer is for easy back-links. But you do not even need to link sites. You can use it to simply generate direct money.
  
How do you do you make more money with Best Reviewer?  If you are an amazon affiliate, for instance, best reviewer can work well for you. Lets say you make a top of Best 7 hammers. Then just put best seven "hammer" links you find on amazon. Make a 1-2 sentence blurb about each one. and throw in anchor text for the specific make and model. In this way you can get amazon affiliate income AND any happenstance adsense money.

What is a Link Building Strategy and why do I need one?

Before we get in to the link-building strategies that make you money we need to go over a couple of (quick) reasons why back-links are important. For those of you who are "experts" please feel free to skip to the next module.

I am not going to dig to deep into the reason back-links are important but I will break it down quickly. A back-link is a link from one piece of web content to another, In Google's eyes every time I link from this page to another page i am giving a "vote of confidence" in the site I am linking too. 

Simple enough

It gets a little bit more complicated than that, though, because every "vote" is not weighted the same. In fact many people like to link from Squidoo, because this site is well rated in Googles eyes for web 2.0.

Now lets move onto back-linking strategies and how they work. To get your Squidoo lens, Blog Post, Web-page or article to rank you are going to need a lot of back-links.  Hopefully from more reputable sites, but really a big part is a variety of links.

For today's lessons in link building we have two sites you should check out:
