I hope enjoyed this backlink trick!
As I mention in this affiliate marketing video it is important to create a diverse backlinking structure for your sites, as this looks more natural to Google and the other major search engines and will help you get higher search engine rankings.
Also getting links from government and education domains is also valuable, so do some hunting and create as many of this high quality backlinks as you can.
One thing to keep in mind when building this links, is that if they are on a PR 0 page, as long as it is in the forum thread itself it should be fine, in that your links will be discovered by Google eventually, however it’s not a bad idea to send some bookmark links or even RSS to a PR 0 page to help get the search engines attention quickly.
Just remember that this backlink trick is one of many that I use, so don’t rely on this trick alone but instead add it to the mix and keep building links, as the people that are patient and consistent with backlinking are the ones that win in the end, it reminds me of the tortoise and the hare children story I read at school!
Also please note that when commenting on forums you should always ensure that you add value to the forum by making a good comment and not spamming the forum for a link. If you are commenting in another language the Google translation tool can help you interpret the thread.
Enjoy!

I love your video, but I have a quick question. If I post on a forum that’s in another language will they not just delete my post since everything I post will be in english. Will there be a problem posting in english on these forums.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quality instructional video. I can’t believe how willing you are to help folks try to improve their IM business. You could easily send out an email but you take the time to create the video. I recently heard about this but not pertaining to foreign entities. As usual you are thinking outside the box and one step ahead of others. Thanks for sharing and caring.

Very interesting technique.
Was wondering are all Government links created equal as far as Google is concerned. In other words would I get much favorable results from say a US Gov link vs. China Gov. Link?

Matt i gotta say, since i bought your back linking video course along with rapid re writer, SEO is no longer a mystery.
And yes, detailing all your work in excel makes life a whole lot easier.

By the way, if anyone wants to test whether or not irrelevant links hurt your site, feel free to use my site as a tester and link away 😉

Outstanding! I’m really glad I found you the other day.
Now — what about the language difference (in formulating your reply)? Does that Google toolbar take care of the translation of site and then your English – Vietnamese, or do you use Yahoo BabelFish? Or do you make no effort to make any sense, or — ??
Wow! Excellent tip. As always, your videos are clear and concise. Thanks for all you do to help all of us.

Hi Matt,
Very interesting video. I’m a little confused as to how you would actually leave a comment.
Would it be a good idea to look up an online Vietnamese phrase book and try to create a decent comment? I understand that most people are just leaving English comments but I don’t want my comments to get deleted if I do the work.
Thanks,
Mark
Matt Carter Reply:
July 6th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Hey Mark
That’s a great comment there. To be brutally honest with you, I just get my link builders to comment in English, as I have found that these kind of sites are not moderated very much at all, and most times the links sticks. I think English speaking sites are more used to SPAM so they are on the look out more for it.
Hope that helps, let me know how you go with it.
Thanks
Matt
Thanks Matt. You can bet this will be implemented this very week. I have often thought relevancy when backinking was over estimated. I couldn’t quite figure why I thought that and my testing seemingly confirmed the thought. Now I do know why I thought as I do. Thanx.
Matt Carter Reply:
July 6th, 2010 at 9:41 am
Hey Don
Yeah relevancy with Google seems to have little effect. Glad to hear you are testing stuff though, that’s very clever!
Cheers
Matt
Thanks Matt! How many links do you think is sufficient for .edu and .gov to each site? Is 10 each plenty? Also, as far as the language translator, I right click to the section that shows the ‘view page source’ and click on ‘page info’ and click on ‘translate’.
Also, listed below is a site I will share that many may not know about where you can create an account and list your sites and the info about theme. The address is: http://www.agilemarks.com, and it has a PR of 2.
Matt Carter Reply:
July 6th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Hey Linda
Its difficult to say how many edu and gov links you need, as every keyword is different, but all I do is build as many as I can find.
Thanks for the added info you provided also

Im not sure if you mentioned this Matt, but if you want a way to minimise the chances of your post getting rejected/deleted, you could always use google translate to convert whatever post you want to make into the correct language. Whilst google translate isnt perfect, its probably better than having it in english. This is what i’ve done and it seems to work well for me and only takes an extra 5 seconds.
Matt Carter Reply:
July 6th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Hey Sam
Nice idea there, I like, I think you all should do what Sam suggested and translate your reply!
One other thing I have done is copy someone else reply and just pasted that in, and it seems to work…little bit cheecky, but hey!

Matt,
you never cease to amaze me. Your content is killer! Every time I read one of your posts, or watch one of your videos, it feels like putting another piece of the jigsaw into place.
I was quite shocked at the whole “relevancy” statement. A LOT of people still say that you have to post on relevant blogs/forums. Sometimes it’s difficult to find DoFollow forums/blogs in some of the micro-niches. This totally resolves that problem!!!
Thanks again Matt!

Hey Matt,
Thanks for the awesome video on getting edu/gov backlinks! After watching your video I was able to get a couple of backlinks and will surely put your little trick to good use! Thanks again for sharing not only this video but all the others that you have passed along!
Great info, Matt. I’ll be using it today. It’s also great to hear that I don’t need to worry about site relevancy, that will certainly save me a lot of time.
brilliant!!! now THAT’S outside the box thinking
Hey Matt,
Thanks for this info I’ve been working on it already. I feel good about the response.
Hope to see more of the tricks… 🙂
Hey Matt, thanks for the new twist on what you had shared before on back links. I was wondering what you thought about “no-follow” links as they are most common. I know they are not supposed to carry the same weight but are they worth getting? My testing has been minimal and hasn’t showed much benefit.
Thanks, Michael
Thank for this matt, i just wondering about the PR when i enter in a forum PR 5 and it come to PR 0 when i submit a reply. do this count as PR 5?
Cheers
Hi Matt,
This is worth gold. Great techniques as always. Do I have to pay for this 🙂
Trevor
Matt,
This is a very effective technique that you shared with us. I started implementing it just a couple of weeks ago, and I am looking forward to seeing results soon.
Regarding the relevancy of the links, I agree with you. It would certainly be great if all your links could be relevant to your subject, but that just happens in utopia, or webtopia, right? Links are links after all, relevant or not. And they add up to your site’s PR.
Thnx again for sharing.
Ciao,
Jorge R.
Hi Matt,
What followup do you do to make sure the backlink post is noticed by google.

Another great video and thanks for that! I think I can create a mini course on link building strategies you have been giving for free and make a money making course out of it!
ultimate! 🙂
Great tips, Iv taken several seo related courses,
and I must tell ur course that I got along with rapidrewritter is one hell of a gem!
ur course beats many bigwigs (TG 😉 easily.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for these great tips, Matt, I would never have thought of going to .gov and .edu sites of foreign countries. But I’ll be working on some foreign language backlinks tomorrow! Thanks for posting something new and useful instead of the same old boring stuff.
Thanks Matt, your share a awesome info and tutorial video here.
i’ll try this method to SEO my site.

Great info matt, I never thought about building backlinks this way. I can also understand why you say relevant links don’t really matter much. Thanks for the great tip.
Matt,
That is a great little tip. You really emphasized relevancy and I wanted to know what you thought about link farms (FFA) or the resources page style on your site and having your links on pages like that on other sites?
Thanks
Bill
Hi Matt,
Thanks for a great video. I’ve got your RapidRewriter course and im just about to start with all your backlink techniques. But before I go ahead I just wanted to ask you about IP addresses. Is it important that i get something like Anonymizer to hide my IP address because if I do plenty of backlinks from the one IP address, wont Google pick up on this and penalize your websites?? Also if you do use a software like that, which one do you recommend??
Many thanks for awesome content,
Karro
Matt Carter Reply:
July 7th, 2010 at 8:50 am
Hey Karro
Google can’t see your IP address when you create links, the website owner can, but I don’t think you need to hide your IP unless you are building 1000’s a day.
Thanks
Matt
Hey Matt
Great video, excellent material,
But for those who might be a bit confused as I was when using the google toolbar, you must go in the options menu on the toolbar then go to tool, which will allow you to turn the translate tool on.
Nice One

lovely tips i’m trying to create good back-links for a friends site and this is very helpful way of doing it if you target the same keyword say
online golf store in each post or would you vary them or doesn’t it matter? whats the max you should do a day to look natural to google?
very grateful for your help.and follow all your ways.kep up the great work..
Matt Carter Reply:
July 7th, 2010 at 9:02 am
Hey Robbo
I would only worry about varying the anchor text when you are building in the 1000’s of links, and as for the speed, you can build 100’s a day, just make sure you keep it consistent…but even then you can have a period of accelerated link building and then ease off and it’s fine.
Thanks
Matt
This was AWESOME!! Thanks Matt!! I’m awestruck at how simple this whole process seems as well—
I’m curious though, do u have a recommended amount of back links to get for a site?
Meaning, would getting two .gov and 2 .edu (all w/ good page ranks) be a good start… of if you do 10 would that make a big difference? Is there a saturation point w/ getting back links such as this?
Thanks again!!!
u ROCK!!!
Lance
Matt Carter Reply:
July 7th, 2010 at 9:04 am
Hey Lance
I don’t have any set number of backlinks that I get, edu or otherwise, I just build until I get the rankings. Just remember to try and surround your links with content where ever possible, as this helps rankings.
Hope that helps

Hey, this is some great info. I am a newbie with only five sites now. I will try this for sure.
Hey Matt,
Great tip. With these Vietnamese websites/forums, did you register yourself first before you posted? I’m presuming so.
thanks
Jeremy
Thanks! I have never heard of anything like this, so it’s definitely a technique I’d be willing to try. I’m just curious where you got the information about the location diversity having an impact. I’m also curious how large of an impact this would have.
My only other concern is that it seems a little shady. It’s adding to the already large sea of non-genuine content. The last thing I want to see at a forum I frequent is some foreigner that isn’t participating in any real discussions posting links to a website that isn’t even in my language.
Matt Carter Reply:
July 7th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Hey David
Yes this technique is a little shady, as we are just commenting to get a link, but these thing work and if you want to compete sometimes you have to do things like this. Good question though.
Thanks
Matt
This is really neat. I guess finding high PR sites to get links from doesn’t have to be a mystery huh? I was able to place some links on Edu websites a couple of times and it can really push your site over the edge if it is on page 2 of Google.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the video, good tip.
One question about hurting search engine ranking. According to my experience if my link building is not gradual (if I do it occasionally when I am in the mood) then I don’t do anything for weeks, it can hurt my rankings.
What do you think of that?
Cheers,
Csaba
Matt Carter Reply:
July 7th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Hey Csaba
I don’t think that not building links for a few weeks is hurting your rankings, what will be happening is that
someone else is over taking you and that is why you drop, but its not a Google penalty.
Keep up the good work
Thanks
Matt
Superb trick Matt. Thanks.

Hi Matt,
I am not sure if you received my comment.
I wonder if it can hurt my page rank if I build links on an occasional basis. That means sometimes many links, sometimes nothing for weeks when I am not in the mood. This cause bursts in the link building process. Is this no problem?

Hi Matt
Great video.
Adam Short over at NPC3 states in esscence that PR being equal, a link directly related to your topic is best, followed by a link more generrly related followed by a non- related link.
So if you had a site about blue fish, a link from another blue fish would be best, followed by a link from a site about fish, followed by any other non realted link.
