I was whining to my poor mentor Craig Desorcy of http://www.wehelpnewbies.com the other day (feel for him – he has to listen to me bitch and moan when I don’t know what I’m doing) and once again, he gave me some good advice I’m going to share with you. Let’s call it the trickle down effect

My dilemma is this: I’m ranking #1 or top 10 on Google for a TON of long-tail keywords having to do with my PLR Mini Mart site. My goal is to be king of the hill, Queen of all things PLR, and so on But that takes time and work. For PLR, I’m on page 1. For PLR articles, however – I’m stuck back on page 3. Not a good place to be.

So Craig told me to roll up my sleeves and get to work. Backlinks are what it takes to get top honors. So today, I want to show you a few pages I built in the land of web 2.0 to generate some backlink love to my blog at http://www.PLRMiniMart.com/blog – I’m anchoring this link in the text “PLR articles” so if anyone wants to plant me a backlink somewhere, I’d be grateful – and no, I’m not too proud to beg lol.

The first one I built was on WetPaint for PLR Articles and I like the color scheme and layout but the site appears too busy for my tastes. Still, it’s a backlink!

The second one I did today was a Yahoo 360 PLR Articles page.  Don’t even ask me about that little Texan cutie avatar I made. I was having fun and wishful thinking that I still had that kind of figure! Really not fond of this page – boring!  But it’s a backlink!

My third  foray in backlink building for the day as a PLR Articles page at WordPress. Again, plain Jane page – I could have taken time to implement a nice WordPress theme, but the tactic is to generate backlinks, not make an aesthetic impression on people.

My 4th backlink site was Blogger where I built yet another PLR Articles page. Um, my page looks like a bottle of Pepto Bismol spilled on it, but I wanted a girlie theme It does its purpose, though.

One of my favorites of the day was building a PLR Articles page on Google Knol. I drool over Knols although when you go to the page, look how stinky the URL is. Come on, Google – could ya not give us a little keyword relevant string of letters to stick in there rather than that bundled up mess? Note: Some lovely person reported me to Google – ALL of my knols – as being spammy. So they shut down this one account (my other pen name ones are open and I’m not saying where those are!). Now I have to await a LONG review to see if they’ll reopen them. I also had (the same?) person go into all of ONE of my Squidoo accounts and one star all my lenses. So looks like someone had it out for me. None of my other accounts were targeted – just those where they knew my name.

My last PLR Articles page of the day (I’m tapped out on PLR content) was at Live Journal. Not exactly a beauty but what I do love is this – go to the page and hover over my first link that says PLR articles. See the pop up? I love that. A preview of my page!

Got any other web 2.0 sites you feel would work well for my PLR article backlink strategy? Let me know about them! I have to be careful because, for instance, EZA doesn’t allow PLR articles unless it slams PLR. Boo hiss! Does anyone know about IMNewswatch? I noticed he has a content submission area – I’m used to him picking up my content.

Discuss!
