Drip Feed Blasts – Dripable.com

Alright guys I know I threw a product at you in my last post but this product has been so great to me I couldn’t help but show it to you guys.

Dripable is a great platform that allows you to shoot out 1k, 2k, or 4k blog comments/profile backlinks per day, depending on how much you want to spend.

This is the first time I’ve ever used automated software after realizing doing forum profiles 10 a day wasn’t cutting it at all. So I decided if I wanted to expand I HAD to get into something automated, I’d been trying it by hand for over a year and the results just aren’t coming in. I searched a bunch of different places and checked out all the reviews and I have to say for the amount they give you and the ease of use, this one has got to be one of the best I’ve yet found.

It’s incredibly simple.

You have the ability to create projects and you get 2 blasts per day. 1 blog comment blast and 1 profile blast separated about 10 hours apart. When you create a project you give the project a name, keyword(s), and url(s). This gives you the ability to put as many keywords/urls as you want per blast.

You can create as many projects as you like and it will go down the list blasting in order of creation. Knowing this allows you to pause ones you don’t want blasted any more, and keep ones open you wish to further blast. It would be nice if they had some sort of scheduling feature, which is something they’re actually working on so that will be nice to have more control.

There’s really not that much to it. Create a project and let it do it’s thing. It gives text file reports of every blast you do so you can open or download them and ping them all if you wish (pingfarm.com works perfect). Also if you have a linklicious account it can be auto linked to that.

Pricing starts at 1k links/day for $46/mo, 2k links/day for $67/mo, and 4k links/day for $97/mo.

For a newbie just getting into the game of automated link building I don’t think there could be an easier way, and I’m sure even the pro’s can appreciate this simplicity. Check it out guys, at Drip Feed Blasts – Automated Link Building – Monthly SEO Service

What are Backlinks and How Do I Get Them?

What are backlinks and why do I need them?

Backlinks essentially are other sites that point to yours.  When site A links to your site, you now have a ‘backlink’.  Ok that’s pretty simple… so why do I need them?

To generate traffic the easy (well… cheap) way – through search engines – you want to rank high.  How do you rank high in the search engines?  By having relevant and powerful backlinks.  The better and more backlinks you have, the better and more relevant your site must be!  Or so says the google algorithm.

ohhh, ok now I see.  Well I don’t think I have that many backlinks at all.. how do I know if I do?

One very very easy way to check is by using Yahoo Site Explorer.  This is a great tool that will allow you to see the backlinks of not just your site, but also of your competitors sites.  That is a very powerful thing to know.  Once you can see the competition, you will know if you’ll be able to conquer that position they are in or not.

Well it doesn’t seem that I have very many backlinks and I’m not ranking too well for my keywords..  how do I get more?

Here is a list of a few easy ways to get backlinks

  • Web 2.0 Sites
  • Blog Commenting
  • Link Exchanges

Those are all extremely easy to do and all that is requires is taking action.

Web 2.0 Sites

These are the new crave of sites that allow you to sign up and follow the theme of the site.  Sites such as Squidoo.com are for making ‘lenses’ where you can make your own personal page about anything you want.  Well, we have a great way to take advantage of that.

Start by making your own lens about whatever you blog is about.  Then throw in a link or two to your homepage.  Now what has this accomplished?  You now have 2 backlinks coming to your site from a very popular and powerful site (google likes this) and you now have a whole new page promoting your blog.

A few other sites such as these are:

There are so many more but these are a few you can start with.  All that you’ll want to do is create a small informative page/blog about whatever you are blogging about and post links back to your main site.  This creates a large web of sites all revolving around your main blog.

Blog Commenting

This is a new one I just picked up.  Go into your Google account, and if you haven’t already made one make one NOW!!, and check out the Google Alerts.  Put your Google Alert settings to this:

Google Alerts Settings

Google Alerts Settings

This will send you a list of blogs that write about your keyword every day.  With this awesome resource coming to you everyday you can then go into each blog that is sent to your e-mail and write a comment about the article.  Try to make the comment valuable.  Don’t just go in and say hey great post and leave.  Offer something that will make the administrator want to keep your comment there.

Now what is the purpose of this?  Yes you are right, it creates backlinks.  Not only that but when you comment on a blog you can use your name as your anchor text and link it right back to your homepage.  This is very important in dominating specific keywords.

Link Exchanges

This is the easiest of all of them to do.  What you do is search for your keyword and on the front page contact all the webmasters you can and ask them for reciprocal links.  While not all will say yes, the ones that will do it will create a huge amount of backlinks for you that will help juice up your site.

There you have it!  A few tips to get you started in getting your blog ranked.  If you have any questions or comments just leave us a comment below and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
