Backlinks is the well-known fact that affects your website search rankings. Many of the webmasters opt for the easy and more expensive way such as Text Link Ads. But, SEO copywriters always put efforts to build not only search engine friendly content, but also good and creative content that would force people to link back to it.
In this post, I am going to show you one easy technique to increase your number of quality backlinks and also to improve your blogs Technorati Rank; all with the help of Mixx.
If you are familiar with the social bookmarking, social networking and social media sites, then you must have heard about Mixx.com. For those that are not familiar with this service, I strongly suggest you try it.
Not necessarily because of the traffic that it could provide – which is currently way below services like Digg, Reddit or StumbleUpon – but mainly because is one of the few services that are still not “infected” with trolls, down-voters and spammers. On Mixx you can still find content worth reading and bookmarking and also, Mixx is of great help when it comes to what I’m about to share with you.
How to Increase backlinks and Technorati rank using Mixx.com?
If you don’t know, let me tell you all bookmarks added to Mixx are “do follow” links. Sure, they are marked with rel=”bookmark”, but that does not negatively affect the link.
Follow these things to make better use of those links:
Create a profile
And not just a profile, but rather start building a solid profile. Submit quality content, content that will attract votes. Considering that Mixx has been recently launched compared to other such services, you can still build a power user profile.
You profile page
This page contains links to all stories you’ve submitted. On Mixx you are allowed to submit your own stories, but encouraged to use moderation and common sense. Again, all links are followed by search engines; the profile page is indexed and gets Page Rank.
Power users/ Super Mixxers
It’s easier to get in touch and collaborate with power users on Mixx and just as your profile is indexed so is theirs, but only with more relevance and even higher Page Rank. After friendly helping them out, I’m sure that most of them wouldn’t mind submitting some stories for you.
Popular stories
And since Mixx is so “new”, you have quite a good chance of making the “popular stories” list. Success is guaranteed with a few supermixxers on your side. The “Popular” page is also indexed, links are followed and it currently has a PR6. Get your story on the Mixx home page and you’ll get yourself a PR 7 link.
Popular and home page stories will instantly affect your Technorati rank too.
