How To Get Your Links Killed
One of the most interesting opportunities associated with the increased degree of interactivity ushered in as part of the Web 2.0 era has involved “joining” various sites in order to secure your own profile page. These pages include opportunities to secure backlinks to your site and often provide other tools you can use to promote your sites. The links are readily available and free for the taking.
They remain in place, however, at the discretion of the sites’ moderators. That means you run the risk of having them killed if you don’t use the right techniques.
Common mistakes include using the opportunities as nothing but linking opportunities and not completing profiles or bios en toto. Others fail to recognize that some degree of site participation is a good way to evidence the legitimacy of a profile and its links. Other goofs abound.
And they all lead to the same results: dead links and wasted efforts.
If you want to take advantage of these small text link-building opportunities, you must make a point to do things the right way. A little understanding of how to handle these situations can improve the value of the strategy considerably.
