If you follow blog posts around the blogosphere it is abundantly clear that people don’t quite understand the basic fundamentals of SEO. The concepts of building links and anchor text are lost on most bloggers.

Links Wasted

If they build links at all then they usually use other blogs to do it and they use their name for anchor text. This is a sure recipe to rank for your OWN name but why? Sure the links have some value to get google to crawl your site and maybe even a bit of link juice but there is a much better way to approach it.

I am not going to do a full write up on link building today but I do have an article series that I am working on that will get into detail on what I do for my niche sites. I just wanted to let everyone know what I was up to regarding Project DIY and my other niche sites.

My niche sites have started taking up a significant amount of my time the last few weeks due to the Ebay Partner Network changeover and some basic maintenance in general. These things are producing so I have to spend the time on them to keep them functioning.

I love to blog but the niche sites are passive income once you have them set up and rolling.

Semi-Automated Link Building

I don’t put all that much effort into link building for my blog simply because drawing organic traffic really isn’t a big part of the plan for this blog. If it comes then great, if it doesn’t then that’s fine too. I’ll be soldiering on either way.

As I grow my small dotcom empire of niche sites I have developed the need for a better method of building backlinks. It is far too time consuming to submit to directories and bookmarking sites by hand, I just can’t do it and still have time to work on my sites.

That led me to a product called BookMarking Demon. This LOOKS to be a really cool tool and I hope that it works as well as I have been led to believe. I won’t offer any opinion or advice on it just yet other than to say watch for a review in the very near future as to how effective it works.

I, of course, am going to use it to complete a link building campaign for Project DIY Niche Site. I have 5 BANS stores I am developing right now so the need for a better link building campaign has become abundantly clear.

I am not opposed in the slightest to invest in tools that will make me more productive so I bought BookMarking Demon tonight. We’ll see how it works in the next week or so, it will take a while to build a decent amount of backlinks as you don’t want to acquire them too quickly.

Conclusion

I am not trying to write a link building article and quite frankly if I do, it will be one of 20k of them that were written this month alone. If you read most of them they will all be the same post anyway, just rewritten a little bit so it isn’t a blatant copy.

When I write mine I will definitely try to mix it up and show you a FAR better way by using BookMarking Demon, but only if it passes my test. I won’t recommend it if it doesn’t work and I can’t show you that it works fact based.

If you are trying to build links for a blog, then I would keep doing it manually, but if you are trying to build an empire then you will need help, otherwise you will get killed in the SERPS by guys that DO use tools like these.

If you’re a niche site builder then I’d love to hear your own experience with this tool or what YOU use to build backlinks.
