Link Building and PageRank

I recently emailed everyone a link to a video I just made on Link Building. You can find the video on the ThemeMatic videos page:

Once you have your ThemeMatic-built site up, it is critical to start work on getting theme-relevant anchor text backlinks to your site, preferably deep pages (article and silo pages) of your site which will benefit your keyword rankings on ALL pages of your site through ‘buoyant page rank’.

Some of you have the money to purchase these links from sites that sell them, and some of you don’t yet have the funds to do this. The above-referenced video, albeit a little rough around the edges (I produced it in one take while in a rush), shows you how to determine WHICH pages of your site should be priority #1 for acquiring quality inbound links (backlinks).

So what should you do if you can’t afford to buy these links? Here are a few of my favorite methods:

1) Post articles to article directories

2) Post in theme-relevant forums and be sure your forum user profile includes a signature with your keyword anchor text link

3) Tag your pages in the Social Networking sites like Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Squidoo, etc.

I will be producing some extensive tutorials on exactly HOW to do the above shortly.
