It's easy. So easy it's almost criminal. But I can get one-way high PR links whenever I want.

How?

Come closer. Let me whisper in your ear.

It involves articles, the google toolbar and a tracking sheet.

That's it's. Because there's really nothing to getting high PR one way links.

Two Must Finds

All you do is find sites to post your articles on that do a good job of directing pagerank (PR) to their articles pages. Sadly many do not.

Others may but they don't include that coveted live link from your article.

This just means you'll have to look a little harder. Since the crown jewel in your search for sites to submit articles to is to find those with other articles that show lives links. And the pages they're on sport at least PR 3 or higher.

Here's why that's so powerful. You'll typically get the lion's share of that PR. Since unlike a links page, quite often the only external link is to the author's web site.

Just think. While others are thrashing around trading links, you're quietly developing high search rankings by simply submitting articles. Nifty seo twist on the idea of article marketing isn't it?

Your Tracking Sheet

Setting up your tracking sheet is simple too. You want at least three headings including website URL, PR, Live Link.

What goes in the first should be obvious.

Jot down the PR of the article pages themselves in the second.

The third you simply note "Y" for yes if there is a live link from the article's resource box back to the author's web site. Or "N" for no if there is not.

Now for the tedious part - finding sites to host your articles.

Typically article banks, directories and the like are NOT going to be your best bet. Sorry. I'm not saying you shouldn't submit articles to them as part of an overall article marketing scheme. Just don't do so in the hopes of snapping up many high PR one way links is all.

Instead you want to use Google to help you find individual web sites that post articles. There are many ways to find them. Let me share one.

One Way to Find Sites to Submit to

Simply search on your "target keyword phrase + articles". And don't forget the quotes. Doing so tells Google to return all pages with both the keyword phrase and the word articles on them. This should return a healthy list of sites in that keyword niche that host articles.

Now you want to do this search in Internet Explorer with the Google toolbar turned on.

At each site visit a few article pages that have been around for awhile. (Sometimes sites will show the date posted. Other times you just have to kinda guess which might have been there longer.) Keep an eye on the PR of those pages. Checking out three or four such pages should give you an idea of the PR potential. Note the highest PR you find on your tracking sheet.

Also take note if the links in the resource box are live or not.

Once you run through the first list try another focus keyword. Or try a related niche. Just be aware you'll start to see peats and repeats.

Still don't stop until you've got a nice starter list of 25-30 sites that have higher PR and a live link back.

After you've got your list write the best, most informative, helpful article you can. No self promotion. No affiliate links. No hype whatsoever.

Then have at it. Submit it to the list you just developed.

If you've got a better than average article you can expect at least 10 or maybe even 15 out of 30 sites to post it. And you're on your way. Just like that you've got 10-15 higher PR one way links. Which is probably more than most of your competitors have. And that's just one article.

That's right. Once you've got one article in motion, look for more sites. Write another high quality article. Submit it first to those who posted your previous article. They should be your favored class and get first crack at your new one. Then submit it to the rest.

Pretty simple isn't it? Yet this pretty much lays out how I get 50+ high PR one way links each month. Now you can too.

Nice article thanks for sharing.

LOL.. ive been doing this a longggggggggg time and its not that easy. Your article has to be REALLY good and PROFESSIONAL you just cant write an essay like you do for a blog. Theres some formatting and things you have to do and work with, like PRESS releases. It can be useful, just dont expect over night success with it.

You can spend alot of time and money submitting articles.

Karen,

Many a posting Members recently have been so unaware of how a strategy of "optimization" should include a tight link strategy, and a real well-thought program of not simply writing articles, but creating articles that are written optimally for intended sites and which reflect entirely the new, revolving dynamic changes in Content on "your" site to be even worthy of being "seeded" on the net....so.....do you agree this is one 'topic' that could use some definitive discussion?

Maybe you would like to begin by describing some of the obvious issues that should be considered in creating articles, and what the basics of distribution might include....

Not sure how you spend loads of money submitting them Karen. I found very little benefit to articles in directorys, but found a great amount of benefit in finding a site of similar nature, emailing them direct and asking if they would include my article and place my bio at the bottom. I did try and fine high p.r , well known sites to do this with. I have never paid anyone to place an article anywhere. This one article brings me many visitors a month and she benefits by putting adsense around it. I have submitted a few to this site and done well with them all.

That's the way I go with articles anyway.

I didnt say everyone would pay.. i said you can.. meaning theres a lot of paid listing **** out there to get sucked into. Secondly.. your link goes to a 404 page not found.

Vasilli..

Sure Ill discuss it with you. Articles, Press Releases etc should be original content and formatted properly within their context.. press releases being differeint than content articles in that they are about your subject rather than your site. Niether should be paraphrased from some other source or a repeat of whats already been written, but giving a new view, focal point, and written with yourself as the authority rather than polling resources endlessly. They should also only be submitted to one site,,,two at the most, otherwise its going to eventually be broadcasted everywhere.(on the theory that it gets picked up.. and looked at.) If several places are hosting the same content it dilutes the quality, and could be seen as duplicated content in some instances, thereby not helping you at all.

Never believe that links are links are links are links..they arent.

To be sure!

Thanks, karen....it's a start (trying to build a great thread by hitting all the bases, so others can find all the pearls of wisdom in a single place).
Maybe when it's time, a friendly Mod will come in and clean it and "mosh" our efforts into a better read???

This article written on 11-17-2005,...but it is still VERY sound educational advice for newbies that will get the ball rolling for them.

The link does not go to a page not found, it is working perfectly if you check again Karen, don't know why that came up for you. There are far more free article options than paid, I believe done right it is a good road to go down with little or no cost. But again the advice above is good otherwise it can be a lot of work for little gain, so I take your point there.

Just to add that yes I write unique contant and submit to 1 maybe 2 sites as they can become dilute and have little impact, this I learnt in time.
