There are thousands of webmasters who have no idea what pagerank is and how Google algorithm works. Sure, if you are in the internet marketing niche, then you won’t get many backlinks with PR0; you’ll have to build some pagerank with directory links and article submissions first.

But if you have a hobby niche, then you’ll easily find many bloggers who ramble about their stuff and will be happy to link to you.

MANY webmasters have no idea what is pagerank. They build websites and add content. They may be slightly aware that getting more links might help with their rankings…

If they reject you based on pagerank, bookmark their site and approach them again with your offer when you have gained pagerank. (from directory and article submissions)

Or do you wait until you have at least a decent PR like PR 2 or 3 to trade for link.

Thanks for sharing the info on Infolinks.

I read some positive reports in the SBI Forums too so I might check with them if they like any of my sites…

There isn’t a clear answer to your question. When you are looking for links you also need to focus on the anchor text and the page the link will point to. That can be your homepage or an internal page. When you get enough quality links to it, this page will then rank higher in Google – depending on your competition.

So when you are happy with your rankings, you can stop focusing on links.

The quality of links is very important. If you get for example a pagerank 5 link with the right anchor text to a page with not too much competition, you can immediately shoot to top 3 in Google. So you might need just 1 link.

Great article! This came at the most perfect time for me because I am currently working on links.

I am just wondering, though…

What is a good amount of links-in to have from each source? How many links should you focus on getting before you really stop focusing on getting them?

I work better with a goal in mind, but I can’t find any answer to this question. And your help is always greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for helping all of us out, Tomaz

I just started using Infolinks on my first SBI site (the second site doesn’t have 300 visitors yet), and it’s doing great! It’s rivaling google in eCPM, but earning way more per click (w/ a lower click thru rate because it’s those kind of ads that pop-up with the underlined links.)

It’s so much better than Kontera (even though their customer service is nice.). Anyway I signed up and they sent me this letter about SBI-ers: (I know it’s late, but just thought people should know how much SBI is respected.) This is part of the Email I got:

——It is our policy at Infolinks to award such benefits from time to time. Among the publishers for October 2008, we chose all our publishers who operate sites with Site Build It. During this month, all publishers using the SBI platform will be automatically entitled to an extra 10% on top of their Infolinks earnings.

At the end of the month we will add these 10% to your revenues. I understand that you operate your site with SBI, right? If so, please drop me a word in a reply email just stating: Yes, I’m looking forward to getting the Infolinks October 08 Benefit (or anything in that spirit), and I will personally make sure you’re included.

If you know of any other SBI publishers who are running Infolinks or would may want to take advantage of this special offer, feel free to let them know or email me and I’ll contact them.—

I’m not an affiliate of Infolinks (although maybe I ought to look into that. I’m just so psyched to finally find another advertiser that works for my site. (My sites aren’t product based so Chitika turned me down.)

Thought I’d try to contribute to your blog since you’ve helped me so much Tomaz.
