Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Herald.

Please reply to my query regarding Profile Links and Web2.0 Links later down on this page.

What about Profile Links and Web2.0 Links. They say its good to create 100+ profile links every month with appropriate keywords (while SEOing a website). Some say Profile links are better than Form Links or Blog Comments.

If I use services to create them, most of the links turn out to be on not-so-good Websites. But they say at the end of the day its about Backlinks.

My question is: Isn't Google smart enough to detect such practices?

In other word: Do profile links really help?

Hmmm useful tips. Thanks.

How about submitting those pages (URLs) to Linklecious or Pingomatic so they are crawled by Google?

Would that help?

Yup we always do make sure they are DO FOLLOW classified or directory sites.

Thanks for the help. So basically we should continue with them right?

Are directory submissions and Classified Submissions still a good way to create backlinks?

Or they are obsolete methods and should be discontinued?

Does using a service like linklicious.me help? Is it recommended?

Please teach me the 'automatization' thing too. I'll be obliged :))

Ok So what I do is... whenever I create a backlink, I should submit the URL to a RSS website like http://www.5z5.com/Suggest-A-Feed/ . Yeah?

Thanks

I want to understand 'in detail' how (2) is done. i.e.  Submit your RSS feeds to a RSS Directory, that they save your feed and put a link for you

Can you please help me learn the technique?

HI Andrew.

I have two more open queries on http://www.seomoz.org/q/rss-feeds#post-68299 and http://www.seomoz.org/q/linklicious-and-crawl-rates. Please help me out there

Thanks,

Can somebody please explain me what is 'crawl rate' and how does 'linklicious' help us with it? I mean I can always visit the website and know more about it, but I want to understand the concept.

Please help.

Thanks. The article was indeed very helpful and easy to understand.

However, now that I understand what RSS is, I want to know how can I utilize it to for backlinking and spread my articles around? I've heard terms like "submitting to RSS Feeds" in SEO. Can you help me understand that please?

It is highly preached that RSS is a great way to get backlinks.

Can somebody explain me how go to about RSS, or direct me to a good source on Internet where I can learn all about RSS feeds and how to implement them? I know there are many reasonable RSS feeds services available out there, but I don't want to go for them. If at all I'd like to first learn myself and then decide on what to do.

Please help.

Thanks Lindz and Tyler. I have got my answer

Lets say I publish a PR with two anchor links (keywords) to a particular website. Will these backlinks get  more weightage in the eyes of Google if manage to get this page 100s and 1000s of FB Likes, tweets, +1s etc? Does this strategy really work?

Thanks Andrew.

Thanks Andrew. Your help is always appreciated.

Thanks Caser.

But there's a limit to how many Guest Blogs posts one can make, or how many useful tips one can send in exchange for a link. Not to mention these methods are time consuming, especially if I am working on 10-15 client SEO projects. I do understand that 2-3 way link requests is out now, but I thought blog/forum comment posting works. Thats what everybody out there preaches.

What do you suggest here?

I always use keywords in anchor text.

So what you suggest is that I should continue posting quality comments on quality blogs/websites and not worry about the rest. Google will do its job on its own. Yeah?
