Backlinks For Content

To get a better Google PageRank, you need quality backlinks (among other things).

Quality backlinks are not links from an endless list of other unrelated links. A good backlink is surrounded by relevant content.

I found a website that provides just that. BacklinksForContent.com is a website that offers quality backlinks. Here's how they do it:

You sign up, login, then write a post...sort of like it's your own blog. That's it.

Well, sort of. Their idea is that you write 200 words and you get 2 backlinks for free. You write them in to your post, and point them to wherever you want. The links to your site will be relevant, and go exactly where you want them to. In fact, they added that if you write 400 words, you can have 5 free backlinks.

Here's what they claim as advantages:

• Backlinks-for-content.com is highly seo-friendly and search engine optimized!
• Faster listing of your article and links in the google index!
• Better pagerank!
• You keep the copyrights!
• Your content! Your backlinks! Your anchor texts!
• Very easy registration!
• Fast publication!
• 2 Backlinks for free!

It doesn't look like the site is accepting illegal or "yucky" articles. That's nice.

The site is fairly new, and the page rank is still low, but I think it'll get up there. Anyway, I think it's a great idea.

I've written two articles. One is called "Once Upon A Computer Monkey", which is abouta monkey who finds a computer in the woods, and the other "Nano Technology In The Future - The Good", which is my idea of what the possibilities of Nano Technology are.

I'll probably write some more. It's a place where I can write something a little off topic that still gets indexed by Google. I'm sort of treating it like a guest post on someone else's blog.

I hope Google doesn't end up penalizing and banning this site. I think it's a better idea than paying for links, and definitely more on the up-and-up than JohnChow.com.

There's another idea I've been looking into, it's called the Fair Review Project.

The Fair Review Project is about creating relationships, rather than link exchanges, between bloggers.

Rather than one blogger getting all the links from your hard work, whilst only giving a link back to the post that mentions them, we give you a link to your blog, plus the opportunity of being reviewed yourself.

To get listed, review a blog within this directory, and then submit a listing request.

Fair Review Project was created by Rhys Wynne.

Looks interesting...and good.

Hope this helps
