Anatomy of Viral Linking

Have you been thinking about making your blog popular and wished that there was a simpler way to do it other than by implementing complex SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques and painfully analyzing the traffic while hoping it to grow in a rate you originally anticipated?

Well I'll tell you about a sure way to boost the authority of your site in Technorati, and ranking in Alexa - especially if it isn't high already. I want to thank my friend Ice Dragon for this tip which I didn't put into consideration earlier.

One of the ways to promote your blogs is to follow the these four easy steps:

1) Copy the set of links provided by the viral linking project websites. (there are plenty out there on the blogosphere)
2) Put your link to the top of the list.
3) Post it in your blog explaining how works and encourage others to do the same. (The explaining part doesn't have to be as complicated as in this website)
4) Check back from time to time for all those who added your site on their list. If their site isn't already on your list then make sure you add them after you've discovered it via Linkbacks.

And that's about it! Simple, isn't it?

Wondering how this will work??? I'll brief you on the process if you aren't already familiar with it.

This technique is based on what is known as viral-linking or speed-linking. It is termed like that because it spreads like virus once you post it in your blog and encourage your readers to do the same. After they've done what you did earlier, you'll be getting back links to your blog (this is also known as blog reaction in Technorati meaning that other site is pointing a link towards your site). In the end everyone on the list would be referring to everyone else. So your authority goes up.

This is considered to be very useful especially to get higher page rank in search engines like Google, and to increase authority in Technorati, which otherwise would easily take months - even years. What makes it even appealing is that the back links that you get from the sites in your list would most probably be hosted under different Class C IP addresses in a different part of the world, which is given more weight than backlinks coming from those hosted under the same.

For advanced users:
To check if the list of sites fall under different class C addresses use this tool.

One of the ways to check pingback is by visiting Technorati and clicking on the Authority icon of your site. Say, if the authority is displayed to be 3 then upon clicking it you should be able to see all three sources from which you are getting the ping (aka blog reaction).

Just be sure to check the ping of your site time to time and add the link of the new sites to your list that have added you. To make sure your site is added to the list of previous sites you might need to send message to the author if they accidentally forgot to check their backlinks.

I'm sorry that I'm not able to provide you with any link this time. You'd have to go to other websites participating in such project in order to get the list of links. I just wanted to give detail on how viral linking works.
