Seo Master present to you: What Exactly Is Tiered Linking Strategy?

There is a very basic principal to internet marketing and search engine optimization. The more links
you have, the better your ranking will be. However, many people fail to realize that there is a much better principal in place. Having tiered linking to the links that point to your money is much more effective.

Think of the Internet as a city. Let's say that you want a washing machine. Now you to 20 different stores and the sales people at all of those store tell you to go to The Washing Machine Store. Would you trust that The Washing Machine Store is a good place to get a washer? Of course! Google and the other search engines are the same way.

Now, let's pretend that all of those 20 stores that you went to only hired people that had engineering degrees.. Would you trust that they know what they're talking about? Of course!

This same scenario applies to search engine optimization. In this instance, Google is the customer. Google is going to 20 different sites (stores) and finding links (sales people) that send them to the authority site (The Washing Machine Store.)

Now, Google trusts these 20 sites (stores) because they have high PR (engineering degrees). Get it? Tiered linking uses this same principal, but it goes a little further. Here is a very short, but effective guide on how you can use tiered linking and SEO strategy to get your site ranking in Google within a matter of weeks.

1. Developing A Linking Plan

Having a linking plan for your tiered sites is essential. The first thing that you need to do is figure out the PR of each site. The higher the PR, the more that Google will trust that your site is an authority. There are a ton of ways that you can find out the PR of each website for your tiered linking.

You can either use the Google PR checker or you can browse through the Warrior Forums. I am attaching a thread from a Warrior thread that will give you the PR for each Web 2.0 site that you will want to use. Once you have the PR, you can start to develop your plan.

2. Tiered Links Accounts

Choosing the tiers for your linking is essential. Once you have the PR for each of your sites you need to start making accounts. Sign up for each account based on the PR. You want to have your 1st tier on sites that have a PR of 7 or higher. Your 2nd and 3rd tier sites should have a PR between 4-6.

This sends the Googlebot from low PR all the way to up to high PR, giving your site more juice.This also gives you a lot of URl and PR diversity for your tiers. Squidoo has a PR of 8 so you can start with this one.

Go to that Warrior Forum thread I posted to find other sites that have high PR. Creating accounts on all of these sites will take some time, but once you have an account you will never have to do this again.

I like to create a brand new email for all of my tiered linking sites so I have everything in one place.
This is great for organization, but it also keeps emails away from your main inbox.

3. Creating Content For The Tiers

All right, so you have all of your accounts set up, now you have to create content for each of these tiers. It's easy to get lazy and just put up bad content. Don't do this.

You want to have content that is on par with the articles and blog posts you put on your money site. Include pictures, videos and even freebies on your tiered sites so it doesn't look like a tiered satellite site.

Your 1st tier is the most important so make sure that everything is great. If you have the budget, get a Fiverr or Textbroker account and outsource the content creation to a professional SEO writer. This will cost money, but it will also save you a ton of time.

4. Linking Your Tiers

Linking the tiers is a very important step. As stated before, you want to have high PR for your 1st tier. This can be Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr and Squidoo. You only really need about 6-7 1st tier sites, but you can go crazy if you want.

For your 2nd tier, Multiply, Hubpages, Xanga and others are fine. Link your 2nd tier to your 1st tier. This passes the link juice from the 2nd tier to the 1st tier to the money site. After you have linked your 2nd tier to your 1st tier, you can link wheel your 2nd tier. This means putting a link from Multiply to Hubpages to Xanga and so on.

When the Googlebot comes to one of your 2nd tier sites, it will go through the entire link pyramid back to your money site, giving your extremely powerful link juice. However, you never want to link wheel your 1st tier. This was effective a couple of years ago, but Google has smartened up.

5. Add Content Weekly

It's not enough to set up this tiered linking structure. You have to add content to each tier at least once a week. Once you have each of these tiers in place, adding content is going to expand the long tail keywords that you rank for.

A rule that I like to use is adding half as much content to my tiered sites as I do to my money site. So, if I add 4 blog posts per week to my money site, I like to add 2 blog posts per week to my tiers. Take my advice, hire a writer to help you with all of this content. It's much easier than trying to take it on yourself.

Seo Master present to you: If you're a fairly regular reader to the blog you know that I'm a big fan of dlvr.it. While it used to be one of the best tools on the market for getting your blog posts sent to Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Delicious, the tides have turned.

Back in the day it used to literally be a one stop shop for social networking. You can have all of your blog posts sent to the top 3 social networking websites, the biggest social bookmarking website and the biggest microblogging website on the planet.

Now they only allow you to have 3 connections. Even though it kind of sucks that they got rid of Delicious, you can still get massive link juice to your website using this free service by backlinking your automated Tumblr blog. Here's how:

1. Sign Up For Dlvr.it

Signing up for dlvr.it is very easy. One of the best things about this service is the fact that you can have multiple accounts and they aren't picky about banning your IP. Some places like Reddit and StumbleUpon can be lame about letting you have multiple accounts.

Go and sign up for an account if you don't already have one. Once you get your account you will need your website or blog RSS feed. You can find this on a ton of websites so I won't even waste your time. Use Feedburner if you really can't figure it out. Feedburner will track all of your subscriptions and give you analytics for your posts.

2. Get Your Tumblr URLs

When you post to your blog the post will automatically be sent to your Tumblr account. This is great because Tumblr has a PR of 8 and it already gives you link juice back to your site. Another cool thing about this is that Tumblr has integrated a few things to make backlinking much easier for you. If you go to the bottom of your posts you will see buttons to add your Tumblr links to Newsvine, Chimedin and a few other social networking sites.

Sign up for as many as you can. This is going to give you a lot of traffic and will automatically backlink your posts for second tier backlinks. Once you have backlinked all of your posts, it's time to grab the Tumblr links.

Click on each post and paste the URLs into a notepad file. You can also speed up the process by using the WonderWare SiteMap Generator. This is a free tool that has made a huge difference in my SEO efforts. Download it and you can thank me later.

3. Load Up Your Favorite Submitter

My favorite submitter is SENuke XCR, but you use anything that you like. NoHands SEO, Magic Submitter, and RankBuilder NEO work just as well (the linkwheel function in RankBuilder NEO is awesome for this).


Now that you have your submitter loaded with your Tumblr URLs you can start blasting. It doesn't matter what submitter you use, but make sure that you have some great proxies or a VPN service so you aren't backlinking from your own IP. This will look spammy.

4. Indexing And Pinging

There are two options to go with here. You can either ping, ping, ping or you can index or you can do both for good measure. I talked to a marketer about a week ago that said he liked to ping as much as possible instead of indexing because it allowed the SEs to find the links on their own. This is sort of a drip feed for building links instead of all the links being indexed on the same day.

The other school of thought is that these are going to be third teir links so it doesn't really matter if they are indexed on the same day. Xrumer, ScrapeBox or even SENuke blasts work well to get these indexed quickly, but I like to use GSA SEO Indexer. This is a great product that submits all of your links to statistics and analytics websites all for 20 bucks. While the links won't be visible to users, they are highly crawled by the search engines.

Once you have done this, you can even blast away at those Newsvine, Chimedin and Delicous links. I like to do these separate so it doesn't look as spammy. I will usually switch up the submitter so these backlinks aren't showing up on the exact same sites as the SENuke blasts. And within a few hours you have a very reliable, very nice link pyramid of 3 tiers.
