I’m gonna start of with something a little basic before I get into the advanced stuff.

OK………….. no one outside of Google knows the exact algorithm that Google uses to determine PageRank.   So basically, I have to make an educated guess about the amount of back links you need to get a specific PageRank.

Here is my educated guess:

This table is not 100% accurate, but it gives us a good idea of what we are up against.  A lot of times it is very hard find PageRank 3 or higher sites to put back links on.  You need to set yourself a goal.  Usually my goal is PageRank 6.  I find a PR 6 is obtainable,  but anything over a PR 6 is extremely difficult.

So,  lets make a strategy for out attack. We need  back links from five PR 7 sites.  Thats not so hard………….or is it?  Take some time to look around for some PageRank 7 sites.  OK, now find some that have a way for you to post a link.  Not so easy huh?  Now, out of the couple you found that will allow you to post a link, how many are nofollow?  Probably all of them.  If we start from the other side of the table,  we need 95,000 PageRank 1 back links to achieve our goal.  That is way too many.  We are gonna have to stay in the middle of the table and use PR 3 and PR 4 sites.  With PR 3 and PR 4 sites, we need between 550 and 3,100 back links…………I didn’t say this was gonna be easy.

I find the easiest way to get middle PageRank back links is to place comments on DoFollow blogs. You can use my KeywordLuv Search Engine to find blogs that allow DoFollow backlinks.  After you have had enough of that, type “high PageRank dofollow blogs” into Google.  You will  get a few pages with lists of dofollow blogs with high PR.  Go through the list and post a comment on all of them.  Don’t worry about the PR of the post you are commenting on.  If the main pages PR is high, most of the time the blog post will be pretty close to the main pages PR after Google readjusts PageRanks.

Next, type “DoFollow Blog search engine” into Google.   Go to one of the search engines in the results and search for you main keyword.  You should come up with a pretty big list.  You are gonna have to go through those one by one and post some comments on them.  Yep, not easy, but it works.

How to post your comments:

Most blogs allow you to enter you name, email address, website, and your comment.  Never put a link in your comment’s body.  Most moderators will mark that as spam immediately.  Where it asks for your name, you have two options:  put your name, or put some keywords.  The keywords will help you the most, but once again, most moderators will mark it as spam.  To be safe usually I just use my name.  Make sure you skim the post and write a comment that is at least on the same subject.  If you write something like “good post”, it will just be deleted or marked as spam.

Why am I so worried about spam?  Most blogs have the Akismet plugin.  If too many moderators mark your comments as spam, Akismet will basically ban any comments that contain your URL from all blogs with its plugin.  Basically, this link building technique will be over for that URL.

The technique in this post will not increase your PageRank to PR6 in a week, or even a month.  We are not up to that yet.  Even though it will take a few months, it is worth doing.  When using this technique, dont worry about the PageRank of the blog posts you are commenting on.  Usually within a month or two they average between 2 and 4, even if they are low at the time you are commenting.

I always keep a text file that contains a list of blog post URLs that I have submitted comments to.  Also, my list contains URLs of any other back links that I have accumulated.  I have written a script that will read the list and tell me whether the links are there, if they are nofollow, and their pagerank.  The scripts output works great, but it is kinda raw looking.  Im gonna make it look better and add it to this site.  This way my visitors can keep track of their progress.
