The All Important Backlink

Searching for backlinks to your sites can be a long process, especially the .edu and .gov sites, now if you have not got a program that can do this for you, how can you shorten this search to get the results you need right away?.

The good this about this is its simple to do and often overlooked, most of the time using Google you just enter what you think you want, then work with the results you get back, now in regard to the .edu and .gov links, i’m going to show you what to type in to get only sites listed for your keyword, or related to your keyword that have the important domain extension you need…

STEP 1

Into the search bar rather than before where you would just enter your keyword then maybe forums or blogs after it, i.e. Trout Fishing Forums…

What you can now do is still type in your keyword, but after it enter this term… site:edu or site:gov , what this does is search for your keyword terms, and only return .edu and .gov sites that contain that term, like this….

STEP 2

Now you should see a list of .edu sites that contain a forum….

Once you get this information back you can join the forums and add some great contributions to them, and at the same time you may even get back a highly regarded .edu or .gov link back to your site, remember you can also look for blogs this way too, in fact anything, Ive even tried this using trout fishing comments site:edu, and got some pages back I could comment on that were also on a .edu or .gov site!.

This seems to save me allot of time in finding important backlinks, and I hope it does the same for you too.. good luck, and let me know your results;).
