Folks, I am taking advantage of my newbie status to ask the question of questions:

i want a low effort, low maintenance, repeatable linking approach for my domains.


  • What do those more experienced and wiser than i recommend?

I am pursuing low competition niches:
based on Market Sam. exact match US-only:
50K or less comp. pages.
under 10K title comp
multiple kw/niche - usually between 250 - 2,000 daily searches per kw.
competing sites in top 10: usually 1/2 are like [big retailer]/xx/xx/kw and the like. they usually hold the #1 spot, as well.

i have used in the past, with mixed success, aged Angela/Paul's links and other haphazard means. i am now testing dfb's to one of the sites based on efeezy's test case.
 


It sounds like you've already figured out how to research your niches pretty well. Kudos on that.

What you should do now is make a new keyword for each of those you are wanting to target and research the competition. You can then break it down and figure out where they got their backlinks from and the anchor text used.

Get a list together of the top 10's backlinks that are PR1 and above. Now, run those through ScrapeBox or have someone Xrumer them for you using a very good and well-spun comment. Use a variation of Person Name and your Keyword.

Do that over time for a few weeks and you'll have a fair amount of links they all have. Then, after that, buy MegaPinger and ProxyFinder and ping all your links. You don't have to ping them, but it couldn't hurt and those are the best tools I've used for doing it.

Now, since you will be working through their list a few hundred at a time day building links, you should be gradually working up your link velocity. If you have been noticing positive movement in the SERPs, then this is working.

Now, after that's over with you want to maintain your link building until you get the rankings you want, and generally go another couple of weeks and start tapering down your link velocity. Since you've already gotten all the competition's links you can, you'll want to build some Web 2.0 properties using your keywords and then build some ScrapeBox or Xrumer links to those properties. The Web 2.0 properties will have links pointing to your money site.
 
Pointing a DFB right at your money site is a bad idea.

Just create some hubpages / articles / web 2.0 sites that point to your money site and then point the DFB to those sites.
 
I think you are heading in the right direction.

For me personally, the top 10/top 3 competition is far more important than the other factors you have mentioned.

Not trying to hijack your thread, pmp613, but I feel like the question I have for Rexibit will benefit the both of us. Rexibit, you say get a list together of the top 10's backlinks that are PR1 and above. What I was wondering is what tool you suggest we use to do so. Right now, I'm using Market Samurai to compile the top 10 for every keyword I'm targeting and then I'm using the SEOQuake Firefox add-on to pull up each URLs backlinks through Yahoo Site Explorer, which also shows me the PR of each.

However, there are obviously more efficient and less tedious ways to go about that. As is, I have to pray my competition doesn't have more than 1K backlinks (the max shown in YSE) and then I have to scroll through 10 pages of backlinks manually compiling a list of all backlinks PR1 and above. I don't mind doing it 'cause I know it'll ultimately help me in the end, but at the moment I'm only working on 1 project. When I expand, which I will, it'll be a bitch to have to go through this same process over and over again.

So, tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
HUSTL1N,

It's pretty easy with Market Samurai. For those keywords, you click on SEO Competition, then do the analysis. When the Top 10 are computed, there's a little drop-down arrow to the right of the URL for each competitor.

From here, choose either PR analysis or Anchor Text analysis. Export their backlink results and you can easily copy the URLs to run through any link building program. PR analysis is probably easier if you are just wanting to break the links up by PR. Anchor Text analysis will break it up by PR and then by the anchor text, so it's not as good if you want to quickly copy the URLs in Excel.

Oh, wtf... I knew I wasn't using Market Samurai to the best of it's abilities. That makes things a shit ton easier. Appreciate it, man. :)

Market Samurai is very efficient for this; especially for sites with under 1k BL. You could harvest all URL's from the site and analyze the BL's to each one as well. There is a method to do that using the Box to make it much less tedious.
 
It has been illuminating to study the kind of backlinks Overstock and JCPenny have - 99% is the same junk we all have; the other 1% is internal links from corporate sites.

Definitely makes me feel better about my chances of attaching them.
