This morning I was researching some pretty standard terms and conditions for a website we are shortly launching, and I came across this website sat at the top of google.
It’s written on the UK Government website,
And at first glance, it seemed exactly what I was looking for, but on further inspection I noticed this little gem in there:
You may not create a link to this website from another website or document without [business name]‘s prior written consent.
Excuse me?
You are telling website owners to dissallow people being able to link to you, this would disrupt the entire fabric of the internet.
And people wonder why we are in a recession!

As you probably know, there are millions of little crappy directories all over the internet, the majority are ran by kids over at the digital point forums, obsessed with conning people out of a couple of quid, obsessed with Google page rank so they can charge more for a link. Its not something we do here at creativesuit, we are proud to say we have never ever paid for a link for anything, never have, never will. Our Search engine optimisation manchester department have other techniques they use to build incoming links.
Apparently Google has started kicking out these directories from their index. And now there is a lot of crying going on about it.

I read a cracking article from The Daily Moolah this morning about a really quick way to create backlinks, they actually reckoned that it would take you 15 minutes, they lied. It took me about an hour and a half. But thats only because I signed up to all the Online bookmarking sites that they are linked with.
Its a lot easier to do this if you actually sign up with the following Social bookmark sharing type sites first, and then sign up sign up with Onlywire
Now you have done the laborious task of signing up for all those social bookmarking sites (hopefully with the same username and password) you can go over to Onlywire and signb up with them and then they do all the donkeywork of posting your links to all these sites
Onlywire is an automated social bookmarking tool which has18 sites built in its content network. Setup is fairly easy and involves adding a bookmarklet to your toolbar in Internet Explorer or Firefox. Click on the bookmarklet after visiting the site you wish to promote, and it will take you to Onlywire.
Onlywire takes the URL and the title information from the page. Feel free to modify the title, as that will be the anchor text linking to your site. You then choose tags that describe the page you are bookmarking. Onlywire has you separate tags by a space, so you need to cover all your bases when it comes to phrases. I normally create one word with no spaces (affiliatemarketing) and separate with a hyphen (affiliate-marketing) to ensure proper coverage ( Each tag has its own page ).Â
That page will contain a link back to your site! I recommend using 10 – 20 tags per bookmark to optimize your backlinks. You also need to include a description of the link in the comments box. Your description should include any valid keywords relating to the site you are promoting, but don’t be a keyword stuffer. Click on the submit button and you just created over a free 100 backlinks!

Some one on this American Real estate blog, did a test using wikipedia, and it makes for some interesting reading regarding google and how it boosts websites with good internal linking.
Wikipedia has a boring article called real estate with minimal external links pointing to it. By the way I refuse to give a link that does not have nofollow tags to wikipedia Either way, I spent a few boring nights of (ok call me a nurde) wikilinking (internal linking from other wikipedia pages) the word “real estateâ€? (believe it or not without spamming wikipedia) from a few hundred other wiki articles to the real estate page. The results have come back and Wikipedia’s real estate article jumped from the #18 spot to #10 spot for “real estateâ€? a VERY competitive keyword in Google in a few months of time.
Lessons to be learned???
This is a clear indication of what people can do with proper anchor text internal linking (either through their sidebar or through content linking). Anchor text still rules no matter where the link comes from. And, of course, Wikipedia will rule the SERPs for a long time to come as the nofollow tags seems to make Wikipedia nothing but a PR cookie monster.
