Google incorporated Social Media signal or data in its ranking factor in December 2010.
It looks Facebook likes or Twitter links as votes by Social Media users. But every like or re-tweets doesn’t carry the same weighted.
Just like any other backlinks from websites or blogs, Google gives more importance to authority. I mean, the authority of the Social Media links.
Authority links are those links, which originate from Social Influencers. That doesn’t mean links from a common man’s social account is worthless. Every link count, except bots or things like that.

Now, the question is – How to get Social Media attention or links to rank higher? The answer is simple – All you need to do is – Produce high quality, unique articles which solve your readers’ problem and leverage your Social Media connection in a correct way.

So, what really is this link investing?

How to do – Link Investing
1.Spotting Low PR Promising Sites:
You have to shortlist low Google PR blogs in your niche which have the potential to grow in the future. The same niche is most important here, otherwise, the main purpose will be null and void.
The number of blogs in your list depends on your link building strategy. Start with 5 to 10 blogs in the beginning.
Again, your shortlisted blogs should be promising enough to make your link investment successful. Blogs which are 6 to 8 months old, with a Google Page Rank of 1 or 2, posting high-quality content regularly and domain registration period is at least 2 to 3 yrs are few important signs to spot promising blog.
There is a greater chance of acceptance of your guest post on these low PR blogs, as opposed to high PR.
If you are guest blogging for some time, you must have aware of the difficulty of posting on authoritative and high PR blogs. Many times they reject your guest post straightway without responding your Email.
Because, not only they have a battalion of quality content writers, but also get tons of high-quality guest posting requests, every day.
3. Avoid Exact Anchor Texts:
The backlinks you put at the end of your posts is your currency (Savings) and plays the most important role.
The anchor texts should be your dream keywords related to your niche. And, shouldn’t be the same on your every guest posts. Google penalizes heavily for sites having exact anchor texts as backlinks.
So, make a solid list of anchor texts by through brainstorming, and put them turn-wise, naturally, with or without altering a bit.
SEO Benefits of Link Investment
Suppose you have acquired 10 backlinks from 5 high potential blogs with Google Page Rank 1 or 2. After 2 or 3 yrs, if the same blogs will become Page Rank 5 or 7, your investment will be 5 folds! Without even spending a penny!!
If you are not a great copywriter, or not a famous expert in your niche or field, or without having an authoritative website or blog, you can’t even think of guest posting on PR 7 or PR 9 sites.
Final words:
If you are a serious blogger, planning to pursue your blogging career for long-term, maybe for next 10 to 14 years, then start investing in low PR links today.
Accumulate good numbers of high potential links over a period of time to become an authoritative blog in future. And, you must be aware that “ How much Google likes blogs who acquire links in a natural way. ”
Finding good quality backlinks is difficult in this day and age.
It may be tempting just to load up a cheap backlinking tool and let it plug away at link building, but any link that is easy to get probably isn’t worth its weight in salt.
Similarly, if there was an algorithm update, chances are high that you may be affected from it negatively.
Here are a few methods for finding the kind of backlinks you need. The first few are aimed at finding high quality .edu comments and the rest are a few less common tips to getting onto high-quality sites!
Table of Contents
1. Find Open Comments
This method is a bit more common than the other ones we are going to dive into, and for that reason may not always deliver the top quality links (although they will still be better than most non-edu links), and the advantage of this method is you can nearly always find something to suit your need with no cost involved too you.
For this method, you are going to use the Google search engine to search for blogs, and forums hosted on .gov/.edu domains that are open for registration or allow comments. Here are the search strings you need to use to find these lists:
Blogs:
site:.gov “add comment” OR “post comment” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.edu “add comment” OR “post comment” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
Forums:
site:.gov “powered by vbulletin” OR “powered by Phpbb”
site:.edu “powered by vbulletin” OR “Powered by phpbb”
It’s also important to note that the bulk of the sites you find will be moderated comments, take a second to glance over the article and try and make your comment somewhat related to the topic to drastically increase the chance of your link getting approved. The last thing you want to do is spend your time building links that never appear!
2 (i) Student Blogs: Hire a Student
This one falls into a bit of a grey area when it comes to internet marketing, it is against the rules to buy links for your website, however, it is not against Google’s terms of service to hire someone who has the ability to create a .edu blog for you.
Most students in the US have access to student pages, student classifieds, student blogs/forums where for a few dollars worth of beer money they’d be more than happy to post your link and even write some content around it.
Perhaps your thinking “Hey I don’t know any college students”, but I doubt you need to look much further than places like Reddit or Craiglist and be willing to drop a couple of dollars to find a student who would be happy to champion your cause.
2 (ii) Student Classifieds
In this case, you are not actually looking to hire a student, but many college campuses across the US have Help Wanted classified sections on their website.
Unlike the student blogs, these are not open access and are likely on the main domain (not a sub-domain) meaning that have even more value. If you have a project you wish to outsource, or a job posting to fill spend a few dollars posting it on a campus website.
Not only might you find the right candidate but you will get a powerful backlink at the same time!
3. Article Directories
Perhaps the strongest method for building out this particular type of backlink is various content directories (HubPages, Squidoo, RedGage, Suite101, etc).
Due to the size and well established authority of these sites you can expect a great deal of extra value being passed through to your website, also unlike web 2.0 properties content directories allow you control over the various data aspects that are required to make your backlink really pack a punch (i.e. control over file name and outgoing link destination). Other websites simply fail to give you the same in-depth control potential for your link.
Of course, the other crucial impact of an article directory is the traffic. Article directories are already flooded with real visitors, real engaged users each day who are actively seeking for your content. Nowhere else will you get such targeted readership while simply backlink building.
4. Postjoint
Another great way to get white-hat links is to guest post on Postjoint.com by writing your articles and posting them for submission various bloggers and webmasters can post them to their site, and you are allowed up to two backlinks per article.
Some of the bloggers do request a small fee for the blog posting but more often than not you’ll find it worth it, especially since you can sort bloggers by PR, Alexa ranking and Klout!
5. Contests
Last but not least a great way to get authoritative backlinks is to hold unique local contests.
Perhaps you’re a company that specializes in video production, why not host a contest that challenges young entrepreneurs in the region to make the worst possible commercial and the winner gets some of your services free.
Not only is it a great chance to promote your business but the story will be picked up by local news outlets as well as niche related blogs getting you authoritative backlinks from a diversity of local niche sites.
Conclusion:
2018 and SEO have become tougher, and the only way to rank well in Google is to find the best sources of links.
Getting high quality, manual links are the best way in order to achieve the positive rankings you desire, in search engines, like Google.
If you have already started by building poor links, you can check out the disavow tool and make a wise decision. I know several people who used this tool to remove away their bad links and their rankings had slowly climbed back up to its starting position.
A passionate blogger and serial youtuber, timely efforts, and dedication are the key protocols that keep me succeeding. I love to share information about WordPress, SEO, Social Media Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Make Money Online, Email Marketing and much more.
Bing has already introduced the disavow link tool and Google will launch one shortly.
Although the date is not confirmed, Matt Cutts has given some hints during the recent SMX Advanced Conference in Seattle.
So, like every webmaster, you are also waiting for the magic wand? A wand which can disavow or disregard the spammy links (URLs) which you have accumulated over a period of time.
A lot of talks is going on about -Ve SEO, where your competitors have spent good money to buy links for you. Of course spammy, to punish your website by Google penguin.
Believe me or not, big players are spending big money to dethrone their competitors in SERPs.
And Yes, when you take the entire spammy-link pool, -Ve SEO is like a tip of an iceberg. Majority of spammy backlinks are bought by webmasters.

Why a disavow link tool?
Tell me one thing – If Google Penguin is so much capable of catching spammy links and penalize websites, why the hack it doesn’t disavow the same.
Actually speaking, Penguin is doing so! When Penguin also detects spammy inbound links to your site, it simply nullifies the dirty link-juice you are enjoying for ranking and demotes your contents in SERPs. Time and again Matt Cutts has cleared that “Penguin and Panda are not penalties.” They simply search engine algorithms to reward quality contents in search rankings.
If Penguin and panda were a penalty, your URLs or contents would’ve vanished from the search results, instead of appearing at 99th or 100th position (like an SE penalty). These algos are not a penalty. These are Google’s tool to fight against thin content and web-spam.
Why not the Penguin-disavow-link tool?
Why the need for a disavow link tool when the talented Penguin is ready to do everything? Why Google is not using Penguin algo for detecting web-spam as well as disavowing them? Killing two birds with one stone.
The answer is – Penguin is not that capable!
Google wants feedback or reports of spammy links to make its link algorithm robust. So that it can add or updates Penguin data every now and then. Believe me, there are still a hell lot of spams not detected by Penguin.
Google is not here to do a favor by giving you a magic wand (disavow link tool). Google is not a charitable organization at all. It has to do its business. It has to improve its user experience at any cost.
So, to make its search engine algorithm robust, Google wants a reporting tool. Oh Sorry, a link tool!
How to use the Google disavow link tool?
You must be thinking, you will open your Google Webmaster Tool dashboard. Put the spammy URLs in the disavow link tool. And, Poof! You are free from Penguin.
Things are not that simple. If it were that simple, why the multi-million dollar SEO services are gaining ground each passing day?
By putting your bad links in the disavow tool, just like putting a dirty shirt in a washing machine, you don’t expect to get a clean website. This tool is only going to disavow or disregard your spammy inbound links. That means, your contents will not be promoted to the first page overnight. Because Penguin nullified all your bad-link-juice (spammy links) for which you were ranking higher, prior to Penguin attack.
You have to collect the same amount of good-link-juice to regain your rankings. Simply disavowing your spammy links will not going to do wonder for you.
Again, how do you know with 100% accuracy, a link is spammy or not? If Google is not sure about every link’s nature, who the heck you and me?
So, do your homework to know the link is spammy or not. Then adopt the hit-and-trial method on an incremental basis. Don’t put all the suspected backlinks in one-go. Segregate them into 2 to 3 groups on a priority basis. Put the high-risk backlinks in the disavow link tool first. Wait for at least a couple of weeks. Then put the next lesser spammy link group and so on.
Watch for the result. If not in your favor, remove the link group and try another one. I know, it requires a lot of patience. But, this is SEO-life, we have to live it.
P.S. You are highly encouraged to disagree with me and add your valuable thoughts in the comments. United, we will win the race.
Since the launch of the Penguin algorithm by the search engine giant Google, lots of websites have suffered huge traffic loss, resulting in a massive loss of revenue.
Penguin is basically designed to fight webspam and to promote sites producing awesome contents. Thereby encouraging webmasters to follow Google’s quality guidelines.
Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s web-spam team, along with other engineers are working hard to incorporate more and more signals to the algorithm, to make the future Penguin bigger and better.
There are plenty of real stories, where websites are hit by Penguin. In few cases, sites have recovered also, making their websites spam-free.
I have produced an INFOGRAPHIC called “Antidote For Google Penguin” to educate webmasters and bloggers to recover from Penguin hit.
Prevention is always better than cure. So, you can also follow these remedial actions to remain immune from the deadly Google Penguin.
