The Linking Directory – Killer Backlinks
One of the biggest issues after finally getting your website up and running is to drive some traffic to it and get it ranked. The majority of this is reliant on the all mighty backlink. But where does one go to get backlinks?
You can comment on blogs, answer questions on sites that allow a resource link, write tons of articles. But one of the most simple and effective ways to get backlinks it grossly over looked. Online directories.
Online directories allow a site to submit themselves, along with a brief description on what their site is about. They are a direct and clearly focused simple way to gain links that you don’t have to pay a lot of money for. They are great “follow” links, and typically your niche is categorized with others that are similar giving you just a little more love from the search engines.
If you own your own domain, taking some time to search out a few good directories can help you reap long term rewards for just a tiny bit of your time.
Take a moment now to visit The Linking Directory. TheLinkingDirectory.com provides free, highly categorized links in an Alexa ranked environment. If you do nothing else for your site today, be sure to take a moment and give yourself a link. Your site will thank you for it.

More Fun With Kimkins Backlinks!
Well, I just found a keyword rich domain that just might be owned by Kimmer.
After yesterdays lesson, I decided to see what affiliate programs may be linked to pushing the Kimkins affiliate program.
I went to the main Kimkins site and clicked on the “earn extra cash” in the sidebar. Hey, I’d like to earn some extra cash. Christmas will be here before you know it. Maybe something has changed.
Anyway, I found the page to sell possible affiliates on the idea of promoting for Kimkins. I got the actual page ID and stuck it into the backlinks.
Well, what do you know. Did you know if you type in the domain http://www.lose-fast-safely.com/ you are taken directly to the Kimkins home page? Wow.
I found a great little site called http://recentusanews.info/tag/kimkins. I’m not sure how that page is picking up links as it appears every other tag on the page is not the most flattering of links to the Kimkins Diet. It looks as though it is some sort of link exchange – I’d need to pick it apart some more.
Here are some other domains that go to the Kimkins home:
http://antikimmer.com
http://gokimkins.com
http://kimkins.org/ (I though there were some rules about what dot orgs can be used for, but I could be wrong)
http://kimkinsdiet.net ( this gave me an additional extention “a_aid=8953928a” which looks like an affiliate or tracking link of some kind)
There was of course a link to the blogspot blog, and there was one other site linking, but I think it is quite possibly an unintentional backlink from http://www.meltingmama.net. I’m not sure where the link is if it is still there exactly. Just another one of those things that takes time to find.
Melting Mama does have this blog post here on her typepad blog which strangly has an example ad running at the bottom which took me to http://www.kimkins.com/newlanding/index.html?gclid=CPWZy6uIgZYCFQETGgodclYPFA which is some new landing page for pushing Kimkins. I never saw that page before. It’s $79.95 so it can’t be too old. I think the ad is there as a google thing and melting mama might be getting a little money for the click through advertising. Very smart Mama! I gave it a click to see where it went so it’s quite possible I made you a nickel or two. I’ll have to look into that.
Singinglass is now on that banner ad. I wonder where her ads are stored? Why aren’t your affiliates using her picture Heidi? And with so many success stories now won’t anyone help?

Share this Post[?] More Spring Cleaning – A Letter to my Fellow Anti-Kimkins Bloggers, And Forum Posters
Dear Fellow Bloggers,
I know you didn’t mean to do it. I have even done it myself in the past, and now I understand even more why I shouldn’t have done it.
They are buried, and while I was digging in the internet garden yesterday I came across a lot of them. Some of you have probably completely forgotten about them – but they are there, and have taken root.
Bloggers of all levels are in on this one – even the ones that the majority of us visit.
I know you didn’t mean to do it, but now I must ask – in the battle against Kimkins – if you could all pitch in for some spring cleaning.
What am I talking about?
Within many of your blogs – the majority being posts created last year – there are still links to Kimkins.com. They are “back links.” There might be only 1, 2, or 3 on your blog, but the accumulation of them from many blogs has added up and they are all pointing to Kimkins.
Why is this a bad thing?
Back links are a huge factor in the ranking and support of a website. Some links, like the ones from news organizations are not in our control. But the ones in our personal blogs are.
I am asking all bloggers to please take some time to do some spring cleaning and gardening today. Please remove direct links to Kimkins off your blog, and replace the link to something you feel really represents what Kimkins is.
I am not going to name any names here. I know you have all been extremely busy and working hard. I just hate to see us sabotaging ourselves.
To the Forum Posters -
I understand the listing of information from the Who Is and addresses provided to submit complaints. But within this information as well, links to Kimkins are sticking – and sticking it to us. If you come across one of these links on your forum, I would like to ask if you could please send a message to the forum director asking them to break the link. Also, if you need to list the Kimkins web site that you please be sure to break the link.
I will be doing some spring cleaning myself today, and I hope you will join me.
Thank you all who have worked to help.
Sincerely,
Avenue Girl
