Many owners of new blogs and/or websites still use link exchange techniques for backlinks to their sites. But when you are engaged in link exchanges with other sites, you do not get one way links to your site. The negative effect of a link leading from your site to someone else´s site nullifies the positive effect of a backlink from another site. Therefore, it is a zero sum game. With the explosion of Web 2.0 and social networking sites, free one way links from these authoritative sites should be the goal of your link building strategy.
Just a couple of days ago I wrote a post called „24 Sites for Web Traffic from High PageRank Backlinks“. The post has become rather popular. Because of that I decided to revisit the topic and add more Web 2.0 sites where you can leave the URL of your blog or website for one way links to your site. I have checked these 15 sites for accuracy and I have used these sites to obtain one way links.
Here they are:
1. YouBundle
A website where you bundle links of websites, videos and pictures on a topic and then share it with others. Create a profile where you can put your own website links. Create bundles and put links related to the bundle topic. Add your website link to the bundle as well.
2. Tumblr
A free blogging platform. Create a blog in your niche and add links to your sites and a few other sites. I found this site very annoying and slow. If you are in a hurry, just create one blog post and put your links there.
3. Work.com
It is an entrepreneur’s owner manual about how to do things and where to go to get things done. You write „how to“ guides and plug your site URL. You can also add your site URL in your profile.
4. PBWorks.com
PBWorks.com is a collaborative project management tool. You sign up for the free version and store some of of your pdf files that have your affiliate and website links. You can also create documents and pages and put your links there.
5. Naymz
A professional networking site similar to LinkedIn. You create your profile and add your website in the link section. You can also add your RSS feed if your website has one. Every blog has an RSS feed. You can add more than one link and RSS feed. So go ahead and add links to all your websites at Naymz.
6. Help.com
Help.com is a networking site where you ask questions and post replies to other peoples’ questions. You can use links with an anchor text in the replies. Be careful not to spam. If your website has answers to a question, point visitors to your website.
7. Blurtit.com
Similar to Help.com. People ask questions and post answers. You can use links with anchor text. But be warned, these question/answer type sites can be very time consuming. You should try to hit one site per week and spend no more than 15 minutes there. It is up to you if you really want to help people by answering their questions. In most cases, the answers can be found by doing some online research.
8. Yedda.com
Another Q/A type site like Help.com or Blurtit.com. Check it out if you are interested in this type of sites. I hardly use Q/A type site because they are really time consuming and I am not interested in posting links to my site unless the site they reside on is really relevant.
9. Unasked.com
Another Q/A type site. They have a directory where you can add your site URL.
10. Gather.com
A Facebook type social networking site. People gather around topics that they love to talk about. Create your profile and add a link to your blog or website. Unfortunately, you cannot use an anchor text in the link.
11. Grazr.com
Grazr.com is not a site that lets you add your website’s URL. But Grazr offers a simple way to create a widget using the RSS feed of a website. Create a widget there using the RSS feed of your site, then post the widget code on other sites that allow you to do that.
12. Lifehack
Lifehack, as the name suggests, is a lifehack site. Lifehacks are hacks, tips, or tricks that is used to get things done by automating the process. It works like a blog site but topics are geared towards lifehacks. You can create a profile and add your links with anchor text.
12+1. Drupal
Drupal is a content management system. Just create an account and add links to your blog or website.
It will only take you a couple of hours to create accounts and place your one way links on the 13 sites I have listed above. If you know more sites like these that let you place free one way links, please post them in the comments.
Good luck!
