How to Get 1 Million Backlinks



How would you like having 1 million links pointing to your website? I guess that some webmasters could have an orgasm just at the thought of it…

For some people that is a reality though, like the guys over SEOMoz. Rand just published a post analyzing the consequences of having such an astronomical backlink count and, more importantly, how they achieved it.

So, what is the big secret to achieve 1 million backlinks? You probably guessed… content! Quoting the post:

The links we’ve generated spawned from other website owners in the field of Internet marketing (and related disciplines) and primarily references the source material we’ve built up here on the site. Our blog, articles, tools & antics follow less of a link “bait” formula and more one of link “appeal.” The content we put out isn’t just designed for a link – it’s really designed to make our readers into raving fans.

The post also has a useful list of tips for producing quality content:

  1. Don’t be afraid to try something new
  2. Be timely & topical
  3. Make it usable & attractive
  4. Present something different
  5. Writing quality
  6. Community

    Nice, but … 1 Million… damn! so far … a lot!

  9. rebounder on November 4, 2007 2:07 am

    I will not go for 1 million, it is impossible. Also, Google will flag your site for 1 million links.

  10. Aldo on May 16, 2008 5:25 pm

    Your title is very appealing but the content certainly far from being relevant with the title.

    visit http://www.millionbacklinks.net Here they explained how to get 13 Million backlinks

  12. SEO Genius on June 8, 2008 8:25 pm

    Over 1 million backlinks that is one crazy crazy figure, i would love to have that many links.

  13. TheBlackhatCoach on June 20, 2008 9:17 am

    It does get tiring being preached “write good content”, BUT, the
    truth is that those preachers are stuck in the “write” box, not the right box.

    :D

    Good content does not need to be “written”.

    An image could be good content.

    A puzzle or quiz could be good content.

    A time zone calculator could be good content.

    The real trick is having something useful or interesting on your site.

    That’s what you should be thinking about.

    imo,
    Bompa
    keep thinking.

  18. Bang Kritikus on February 3, 2009 1:17 am

    Yes impossible for improve pagerank many websites and blogs use nofollow tag

  19. results on April 27, 2009 7:05 am

    In blogspot remove nofollow tag.it increase your back links .

  20. Seo your site on June 23, 2009 6:45 am

    The figure of the backlinks on this site really rocks but to increase your page rank does not need to have such huge quantity of backlinks. It depends mostly on quality. Golden-way-media offers free consulting on how they will increase your pagerank. They do have free and paid services but they really rocks.

    If you want a free backlink with pagerank 7 follow:

    1.- Register in mtv.com
    2.- Sign In
    3.- Create a blog post in the blog section
    4.- Post your link with the anchor text inside the post you create.

    Getting back links has been on everybody’s mind these days. Why not joining in some forums that are related to your niche for real?
    I have seen some people give their backlink building to some freelancers and what some of them do is to post spam on several websites. These kinds of backlinks do not only hurt your website, but also scare away some potential and curious clients.

  23. Improve Social Skills on December 21, 2009 10:02 pm

    I think If I had 1 million backlinks, then I’d probably die. I understand that content is the most important thing, but it takes time to build these baclinks. I’m trying to hard to bring quality content to my viewers and maybe one day, I can have 1 million backlinks.

  24. Javier Duarte on May 19, 2010 1:44 pm

    Actually, there were three keys for linking success – Content, Community and Timing.

  25. SoCal WebWorx on August 31, 2010 6:26 pm

    We’ve tried quite a few ‘tricks’ over the years for building backlinks. We’re yet to find the silver bullet. Most effective techniques we’ve used take time, resources to execute, and patience for search engines to cache the backlink sites.

    I do totally agree with emphasis on the following techniques:
    Be timely & topical
    Make it usable & attractive
    Present something different
    Writing quality
