Monkiri is a user friendly tool that enables a web user to capture and share interesting web pages or part of a web page with others. Monkiri lets you grab any part of the web page and instantly publish it either on your Monikri blog or send it to your Blogger or WordPress blog. Literally Monkiri means the Japanese art of paper cutting. Newspaper clippings are always a means amongst any knowledge enthusiasts to store a piece of information. In the web world Monkiri meets the same need. Monkiri lets one read and write blogs about any item published on a website.

So the good part about this really cool web 2.0 bookmarking site is that you can obtain a do follow link only on your profile page with achnor text, and a do follow link from the clippet you put up on your profile. I like that because you can’t abuse their service with massive link dropping, and you will actually get some traffic because this is a really cool tool for bookmarking. I’ve been loving the fresh ideas people are coming up with these days to do social media sharing and this is the latest and greatest example. If you’re done reading and want to start clipping, then go ahead and sign up to Monkiri.

Pikter is a web 2.0 Flickr clone that is pretty well setup and brand spanking new. Since the site is so new there isn’t much PR being passed around, but Pikter is a site to keep your eye on. They allow photo comments which includes two simple forms to fill out. Since the two forms are only your name and your web address, you can easily nab a do follow link on the photo page. I’m going to be using Pikter in the future for some viral testing, and what do I mean by that? Well I want to try and get some photos going viral on the web, and if possible I’ll be able to benefit from the link on the page. There are a ton of new services sprouting that allow you to get links, and this is just a simple example. I’ll be scouring the web for more sites like this so hopefully we’ll have a giant list of photo sites to link build on.

Link Building With Guest Blog Posting

September 2  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

We all have been seeing more and more guest blog posting happening in the blogosphere, especially within the SEO/SEM industry. I’ve been asked to write a few guest blog posts and it got me thinking…how can I get more? Guest blog posts are great because it provides a fresh style of content on the users blog, as well it allows you to get links within content you don’t have to pay for..so no google slap. There are a few ways to go about finding blogs to guest post on so lets take a look at a few, and hopefully it will get you thinking about how to find new ways.

First up is the most obvious and that is to make a list of all the respected blogs within your niche and personally contact them by phone or email. If you were to get a request from another blogger to write on your site, how would you feel? Personally I’d welcome it because it never hurts to have someone do your work for you. You could spend that day off building links or working on that other slacked on project that’s collecting dust. Even though you’re allowing someone else to input links back to their site, at least it’s within your niche which won’t hurt you as much if they were writing about something off topic. I also like to think the person writing the guest post is going to bring something interesting to the table, so you could potentially have some content that will go viral.

Secondly we can use good old Google to rely on to find us some great blogs to apply to. I’m sure most of my readers here are familiar with Google commands and can hack their way around with little or no problems. This opens up a whole bunch of possibilites in finding blogs to post on, it is as easy as just searching for things like “write a guest blog post” or “guest blogger“. You can even get more specific by using Google’s inrul command to try and narrow it down by niche. Even though this method is still not that popular, you should be able to find a few places to write for within your niche.

Lastly I’ve setup a section for exchanging blog posts on the Link Building Forums which has yet to take off so sign up! I’m hoping to make it the place that bloggers can use to find all sorts of blogs to exchange with. Places like Bumpzee and BlogCatalog are also great places to find bloggers within your niche who are always up for guest blogging. I’ve found a majority of my guest bloggers on Bumpzee mainly because people are hungry to write. After I’ve posted about it on those two sites I’ve received numorous requests from other bloggers who’ve written a bunch of my conent for free!

Link Building With Website Reviews On Forums

4 Comments
August 27  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

I’ve been compiling a very large list of forums that are do follow and have a section for website reviews which are a great way to get some some feedback as well snag some juicy links(ooo sexy links). Most of my readers are aware of the sections that Digital Point and V7N provide for website reviews, so I’ve hunted down a lot more for your personal link building enjoyment.

First up is the forum that everyone loves to hate(well mostly), Digital Point Forums. DPF has been a home to me for a couple of years only due to the giant user base which provides a great place to promote my articles, waste time and occasionally learn something. They do however provide a great place to get your websites reviewed by the fine folks at DPF. To get your review you have to sign up and then head on over to the Digital Point Website Review section.

V7N is another huge webmaster community with a lot of down to earth people who will give your website an honest review. I really like V7N mainly because the level of professionalism there even though the forum is filled with noobs. Not only will you get a decent review but the amount of people that look at the threads in the section should also bring in a decent amount of traffic for the first day or two. Get off your ass and head on over to get your website reviewed at V7N.

The High Rankings Forum has a really large and active community and you must have at least 20 posts before you can request a website review. Now if you mosey on over and look at their website review section, you’ll notice they get a staggering amount of views, so the potential for traffic is great! These forums are well worth taking part of every day so go on over and sign up.

The Web Developer Forum is a great place have your website reviewed as long as you do not come off as spammy. I understand that link builders are going to be considered spammy more often that not, so just becareful and only put your backlink once in the review write up. The forum is also a great place to keep up on web design and is worthy of a registration. Head on over to get your website review.

The Searchen Forums is a place I like to haunt a few times a week and low and behold…a website review section! The review section isn’t too active which can be both good and bad. On the one hand it might take a bit to get a review, and on the plus side your review should stay on the first page for a lot longer. Head on over to sign up and get your review.

The last one I’ll at least write about are the Zymic Forums which has an active website review area that usually ives indepth reviews. The users there really are good at taking part of the community and the place is growing more and more everyday. You know the drill, sign up and take part in the community and get some feedback from respected webmasters.

This is just a small list that I put together so when you combine Google’s powerful search queries you will be able to find a lot more forums that offer website reviews. But don’t stop there because the web offers all sorts of platforms where one can obtain a free website review. To get you started load up a new browser window and plunk down this command in Google’s search box inurl:forum website review.

Link Building & RSS Promotion With Aide RSS

August 26  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

AideRSS is a really slick interface that parses your favorite feeds by its own rating system called the PostRank. This system takes in many variables of the blog post such as amount of comments, rating and inbound links to the post to determine which ones you should most likely be reading. I’ve been using the software for a while now out of pure personal enjoyment, so take your time and check the site out. This site is put together by a cool group of people that really take an interest in the site so please don’t abuse the services they provide.

You can watch a screencast which shows you the basics of AideRSS and what it is for, and how to use it. They introduce the concept of PostRank, the core technology behind AideRSS, and how it can help you find and read what matters. Within the system you can enter your blog(s) and as you’ll see upon viewing my AideRSS page how your backlinks are produced. They also take in effect your posts “rippel effect” in the social media world such as Digg, Delicious and others. They have managed to hold a Goolge page rank 7, so that means they’re doing something right in the 2.0 world. The more feeds you pump into their system the better AideRSS gets.

Our company

Based in Waterloo, Canada, AideRSS Inc. is a privately held company created to help deal with daily information overload, and our overwhelmed feed readers. Utilizing the latest cloud computing technologies, and distributed algorithms we created the PostRank™ filtering process. With a great mix of strong technical and creative talents, our team continues to innovate on finding new information management solutions.

       

The folks at AideRSS have been featured on Leo Laporte’s TWiT and all the major blogs such as Mashable and Life Hacker. The entire team’s bio is online as well a look into their office life on Flickr. They also happen to be hiring, so if anyone has some programming skills give them a shout.

Link Building With Scuttle & ScuttlePlus

August 26  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

As you all I’m sure are aware of of the open source social bookmarking CMS called Scuttle. Well it isn’t anything too special except for the fact it happens to be one of the most popular scripts chosen on many many many niche based social bookmarking clones. Within the past year there also has been a launch of ScuttlePlus which is an improved version of Scuttle with a few more features such as do follow, administrator panel and advertising control. Now keep in mind 90% of the sites based on Scuttle are not even worth the time it takes to put a link in mainly because the websites are useless. There is no real substance to these sites making them weak places for a backlink, so use at your own risk. I’ve included a list of Scuttle based sites that are do follow and have *some* authority at the end of the post.

Find Scuttle based websites is a breeze but keep in mind most of them are no follow, so the only real point would be to find a few that actually have traffic based around your niche. I can’t promise you’ll find a site related to your niche so hopefully you have some luck on your side. I took sometime to find out the best way to mass identify Scuttle sites and you can easily do it with this Google search query inurl:?sort=url_asc which brings up a huge list of potential sites.

ScuttlePlus sites are just as easy to find and a lot more of them are do follow, and I must also mention seem to have more of a structured system going on. I’d expect links from ScuttlePlus to be considered a little less spammy, so becareful when using Scuttle for links. To find websites running ScuttlePlus another Google query will do the trick inurl:populartags.php/

I’m also aware that blackhats will and have been using automated tools to spam the bloody hell out of these social bookmarking sites, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a slap from the G in the future on spammy Scuttle sites. Regarldess of the black/whitehat implications of use, remember to keep an eye out for similiar software that might becoming more popular to use for your link building benefit.

Here’s a list of a few Scuttle sites that all look the same and provide no real help to your link building efforts. Seeing these sites kind of seals the nail in the coffin for the future of social bookmarking links being a good source of link weight….

Link Building With Mugshot.com

Mugshot is an open source social platform sponsored by Red Hat which allows users to compile an online portfolio of themselves from their online social media sites. So basically it lets you build a page filled with content streamed in from your Youtube acount, Flickr account, Delicious bookmarks, blogs and so much more.You can get do follow links from your profile page and join/create groups to promote whatever you like. If you get a popular group going users can socially browse links and chat about the topic with other people in the group. I really like the site idea, and I’ve had a very similiar idea in mind for a while but there’s something with the layout and design of this site that makes it hard on the eyes. I feel kind of confused sometimes while browsing the site which might explain why it hasn’t grow much at all in a year traffic wise.
