High PR links are the “super weapons” of search engine optimization because they can determine if your site ranks on the first or last page. Links from sites that have PR2-9 are some of the best ways you can improve your rankings, but they are some of the hardest to get. This is where you can get them…
1) Blog Comments on High PR Blog Posts – Posting a comment on someone’s blog is an easy way to get links… but most blogs out there aren’t very good quality. You need to find a blog post that has a high page rank and to do that you can type “your keyword + your gravatar icon” into Google and then look at all the results.
2) News coverage – This may seem out of your league, but it’s actually very easy to do. Getting news coverage is a great way to get high-quality site links…and a good trick to get media coverage is to simply donate some money to charity. Your local zoo, hospital, or children’s home… have your business put down maybe $500 and then be sure to tell the news about it. You’ll get a lot of high-quality links and brand recognition for your $500 investment (not to mention helping a charity).
3) Forum Links – Forums are great places to get links. There are plenty of “high PR forum” listings (just google it) where you can sign up and start posting. Be sure to put a link to your site in your signature, and then post 10-20 posts. This will allow you to get some good links from a high PR site.
4) ‘link bait’ – This is where you write content with the sole intention of getting links from other leading blogs in your market. You could write an article like “101 Ways To…”, “50 Things To Do…” or “Top 10″… and you will find many blogs linking to you.
5) Paid Links – Paying for high-quality links is a good way to get them, but it can be expensive. If you go to the link marketplaces, webmasters with PR4-6 blogs will offer blog posts for over $40 and you can usually get some “site wide” links for over $30 a month as well. Although these may seem expensive, they are a very good way to get to the top of Google, but you need to know what you are doing.
