Using Craigslist for fast indexing
Another way of building backlinks is to use Craigslist – www.craigslist.org
The concept behind this strategy is to get backlinks from an authority website which has a high page rank. This is because the higher the page rank, the more often the search engine spiders will visit the website. A website with page rank of 7 or 8, for example will be visited more often than a page with a page rank of 2 or 3. To get your page indexed in the next 48 hours by major search engines, you need to post an ad in a high ranking area of Craigslist, as this gets visited more often by search engine spiders. For example, looking at different States in the U.S., the San Francisco Bay Area has a much higher page rank compared to other states.
To post an ad in Craigslist, look through the categories suitable for your business. E.g. Electronics and click on “Post”
Make sure to use a title that is catchy. In the description box write a factual description. Do not use hype. If you give away a free report on your website, be sure to mention that in the ad.
The critical part in posting your ad is that your links should be clickable. In this way you are building back links. If you fail to follow this step you will not build your backlinks. To ensure this happens, enter your website details beginning with http:// followed by your website address. An even better way of including your link is to use anchor text. Simply this means using keywords in your text and linking this to your website. For instance your anchor text may be:
“Get your free report on link building here”.
Using these link building strategies, you will easily be able to get your website indexed quickly in Google, Yahoo and MSN. The best part of using these strategies to get backlinks is that you don’t have to learn complicated SEO techniques or wait for months to get your page ranked in the major search engines.
