Backlink 101, Day 7 : 5 Pointers for the Love of Lists

Jarot, June 7, 2008 11:04 am.

Our Day 7 discussion is the Love for Lists. There're 5 things you need to take a closer look about lists.
Here goes..

1. Build a "101 list".

People tend to love lists. 101 lists, 10 easy tips, top 10 myths.. They seem to drive the most traffic.
These get Dugg all the time, and often become "authority documents". People can't resist linking to these .

2. Create a "10 easy tips" articles.

10 easy tips to improve your Alexa rank, 10 easy tips to help our pagerank boosted, 10 easy tips to help you gain more adsense earning. You know, that kinda stuff.
These are exceptionally easy to link to.

3. Create extensive resource lists for a specific topic.

Provide users some useful lists they might need in a particular area. List of Competitive Research Tools, list of Weblog Promotion Tools, list of SEO and Web Development Sales Tools, and stuff.

4. Create a list of the top 10 myths for a specific category.

Ever heard a myth? Or have heard some myths? List them, sort them, create a top 10 or top 5 or top whatever. Chosen category is yours to choose. Make sure it still the same as your site 's niche.

5. Create a list of gurus/experts.

If you impress the people listed well enough, or find a way to make your project look somewhat official, the gurus may end up linking to your site or saying thanks. (Sometimes flattery is the easiest way to strike up a good relationship with an "authority".)

As you guys can see, I did it all the time, and is one of the greatest strategy of link building.
