If you want “BANS Success” you have to have a strategy for building quality backlinks. This will get your good search listings and better traffic (and in the end make you more money).
This is installment #4 of the Watch Me Build A BANS Niche Site from Scratch Series. We have a good BANS Niche site setup with eBay auctions and some original content. Now we need to build some links so we can drive organic search engine traffic to it. Today I start building a strategy to build specific targeted keyword backlinks to my BANS site.
If we want “BANS Success” and to make money with our “niche store” we have to drive traffic to it. The other day I talked about building backlinks in forums. I’ve been doing that every day now for the niche store for this series used-cell-phones.info. I’m not going to repeat that info here, you go read that article and learn how I build 24 backlinks (or more) per day posting in forums.
The next way to “build backlinks” for BANS Success is by commenting on other web sites. Some people worry about whether a site does “dofollow” or not, I just want to make sure that the blogs I post comments for are established, important, and have lots of traffic.
When I post comments it’s my intent to accomplish many things at once:
- Create a quality backlink for search indexing purposes
- Use Keywords in that link for better search engine placement
- Use Keywords that are “linkbait” where possible to entice people to click
- Read the posts on quality blogs daily for blogging tips and help and ideas
- Blog in the same blog to get “top commenter” spots and hold them for sitewide backlinks on popular blogs
- Blog on the same blogs so often frequent commenters recognize me, building a brand name
So today I made a list of blogs I thought would fit the bill to regularly post comments (and here they are):
shoemoney.com
johntp.com
dailyblogtips.com
johnchow.com
johncow.com
I can add more later, but I commented on these 5 blogs today for the first time using our BANS niche site as the url and “Used Cell Phones” as the name (keywords). I got pretty lucky that a few of the posts had few or no comments at the time I posted, it’s always better to be either the first commentor or one of the first few. Why – because on high traffic sites nearly everyone sees your link and reads your comment! If the site parse’s your last post, or you can wrangle a link to your site in the comments – BONUS!
**BETTER COMMENTS GET BETTER EXPOSURE**
Look – I’m going to coin a term here (and get on the soapbox), for lack of a better phrase – “Don’t be a COMMENT P*SSY!!” I just made that term up for all the people idiots and morons who post comments like “nice site here”, and “love your blog, keep it up…”. You stupid comment wh0res – you’re creating a backlink and diluting your brand!! Don’t you understand that people actually read these comments? A backlink is fine and dandy, but the other readers that comment and read comments – they own blogs too! Idiots – they ARE YOUR AUDIENCE TOO! If you make an INTELLIGENT and INSIGHTFUL comment that actually adds value to that you become as valuable as the post itself because you’re contributing to ORIGINAL CONTENT.
Ok, I can come down off the soapbox now. Look, comments are important – and you should comment as you would want people to comment on your blog. It’s a little extra work – but well worth the effort. In addition, many blogs have a “comments RSS feed”. That means each comment is treated with a distinct URL. This means normal search indexing rules apply, and comments with better content should carry more weight in the search engines when the comment is indexed.
Here are the comments I made today so you can take a look at them to get some inspiration:
The comments I made on both johntp.com and dailyblogtips.com haven’t been approved yet, they should be by tomorrow, and they we’ll have 5 quality new backlinks for our BANS niche site! I posted the images of my comments and linked the posts so you could see (what I think) good comments are. A good comment is as important to your linkbuilding strategy as the keywords you use and where you post them – comment wisely!

This is a good post and I have been using the top commentors idea for a few weeks not, it gives great results just be wary of the reset counters, most happen on a monthly basis.
You scared me there for a second, thought you wearing talking about Google Bans! Good article though (love shoemoney), will surely try some things.
I didn’t know what BANS you were talking about at first. That is an insightful post into helping to generating traffic.
JT – I came to read about BANS, I already comment a decent amount for my other blog and found it funny reading about commenting here. You’re on my commenting hit list – should be good for both of us right? I get a juicy link to my 1 DAY old site (fresh eh?) and you get a bit of extra content. Gotta love those win-win transactions. You’re site is getting pretty close to the top of my must read sites in Reader!
That is funny…..well at least you have plenty of good things to read – and hopefully to put into action on your site!
nice site here, love your blog, keep it up…
lol
i’m curious if you think it’s better to post comments strictly on do-follow sites or on high traffic sites like you mentioned. ideally it would be one that is both but there don’t seem to be a lot of those.
btw thanks- a lot of your tips have been helpful with my fake food store.
Personally I pay no attention whether it’s dofollow or not. I just like a variety of sites, and ones that get good traffic. I think if you target only dofollow sites google eventually figures out what you’re up to.
Nice site here. Love your blog. Keep it up.https://www.jtpratt.comwp-includes/images/smilies/4.gif
=)]I just started using BANS and I happened upon your site, and I’m going to spend some quality time here reading your stuff. I’ve already learned a few things. Thanks.
Your blog was brought to my attention by someone commenting on my blog. You do have excellent information here, so I’m giving the compliment.
I really appreciate the information as getting backlinks is something I haven’t spent much time doing. I’ll likely set aside time each day commenting on blogs. How much time do you spend creating backlinks on blogs?
I have a Google-deindexed site that was deindexed for unknown reasons (I didn’t do anything more than park it and add Google AdSense ads, though it just occurred to me that this might be because there wasn’t a privacy policy on the site while it was parked…). Someone suggested I post a comment on your site to see if this will help get it indexed now that it is no longer parked.
From the sound of this post commenting here may be a good thing. I appreciate the backlink and will keep my fingers crossed that this helps. Though I doubt a single backlink will do the trick so I’ll look for more blogs to post to.
Of course, if you have any advice about getting a deindexed site indexed again I’d love to hear (a month ago I contacted Google about this using their reindexing request form but have yet to hear from them, though my stats show that Googlebot is visiting my site but no pages are indexed).

Creating backlinks has been one of the more challenging aspects of niche store building. I’ve been focusing on finding dofollow sites with good PR, which can be time consuming, but now — thanks to this blog post — see the wisdom of expanding my vision. Thanks for sharing!

A lot of great advice here. I have been using Real Link Finder to blogs in my niches. This is great because I get relevant links.
It goes without saying that a comment worth posting is one that will bring traffic to your site. Now, without meaning to BLOW SMOKE UP YOUR ARSE(!), this has to be the best BANS setup information i’ve found since i started the journey 1 WEEK ago. What an uphill road it’s been, filled with loads of people trying to get their affiliate links but talking about HYPE and HOW FANTASTIC things are.
How REFRESHING to find someone who is DOWN TO EARTH!
Thanks buddy!

yea, most people are full are BS aren’t they? I started this site to show people how hard my struggle has been, and if I can do it anyone can…without hype.
24 links / day can add up pretty quickly – do you have a set formula for your new BANS sites as to how much time you want to spend on link building? Meaning – how much link juice is enough for one of these types of sites?
@Airsoft Gunner: No – I only wish I was that organized…typically a couple dozen links are enough to get started, after that just make sure you create at least some fresh ones each and every month.
Genius. Thanks mate.
I’ve only started looking at the idea of using backlinks to dive traffic… I’ve been in affiliate marketing for a while, and I’m trying to get a site (cough)automated(cough) to continue cash flow for me for a while, so I can pull out of adwords and other PPC. I know your post was aimed more towards BANS etc, but it has probably saved me days of time. No, sorry, I *know* it has saved me time.
Thanks again for the post of awesome.
