Have a new site you want to build page rank with quickly? Wish you had time to ask other site owners for reciprocal links?

I’ve already talked about Jonathan Leger’s inbound links program. You sign up for a nominal monthly fee and then you can submit a number of your sites to be included in the linking system he has set up.

At first he was allowing us to submit 20 of our sites (those with page rank of 4 or more do not count towards that total).

Recently Jonathan increased it to allow us to submit 50 sites! I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a great deal when he allowed 20 sites to be included.

50 is by far the best deal out there for this kind of program. Another program I know of costs $49.95 a month and only allows you to submit 10 of your sites.

And any site that has page rank of 4 or more still doesn’t count towards the total 50 sites.

It’s not hard to submit a site. You fill in the URL, a description, the keywords you want to rank for, and put in some code from your site. The code is so the links page looks like the rest of your site.

That is the only tricky part of the whole process, getting the code to insert in the 3WayLinks submission form. But there is a video to watch that shows you exactly what to do.

I had no trouble. I was pleasantly surprised when I did it right the first time for each of the sites I have submitted so far.

Once the code is copied and pasted, they give you a php file to FTP onto your site. You then go into your site and link to the php file. With my Wordpress blogs I simply created a link under Links in the Dashboard.

The whole process took me 10 minutes or less for each site.

Once you have the file on your site and have a link going to it, that’s it. You wait for them to okay it (again, I’ve had no problem getting my sites okayed), and then they start gradually adding links to the page. Eventually you will have as many as 250 links pointing towards your site.

That’s as many as 250 links that you spent about 10 minutes getting, and that cost you about $1 per site. Not bad.

What do you need to get Google and the other search engines to notice your site? How do you end up on the first page of search engine results? Incoming links.

How do you get incoming links?

  • reciprocal link exchanges
  • write articles and submit them to article directories (SubmitYourArticle automates this for you)
  • claim your blog at technorati
  • submit your blogs to social bookmarking sites such as Digg and Netscape (there are many more)
  • pay other bloggers with high pagerank to include a link to your site on their blog

It’s a slow process to get these links. I’ve used all of these different things except the last.

Then recently I had the opportunity to be involved in a beta test for Jonathan Leger and his 3WayLinks program. It’s very new. In fact, he just opened it to the public a week or two ago.

It’s better than reciprocal links because your outgoing link does not point to the same site that has a link pointing to you. Instead your site points to site A, site A points to site B, and site B points to you. Get 250 different sites each pointing back to you and you have a powerful tool that could put your site in the top 10 results for that keyword.

For less than $50 you can submit 20 of your sites to this program and get 250 incoming links gradually pointing to each of your 20 sites. At the same time, 3WayLinks is adding outgoing links on each of your sites pointing to other member sites.

One of my sites has several keywords that now show up in the top results of Google. This should result in an increase of traffic to that site and an increase in sales. It’s exciting!
