A Sneaky Backlink Tip Using Google Reader

Probably the most difficult part of getting a higher page rank in Google is getting quality links into your website. As we all know, the more quality incoming links to our site, the higher the sites’ importance is in Google Search.

To get backlinks to your website, you either will have to promote with other webmasters (link exchanges, comment posting on other sites, etc.), or do a bit of self-promoting. Self-promoting can be a fine line to walk as it can be interpreted as being spam, but at least you don’t have to harass other webmasters to exchange links.


The tip I am going to show you involves using the share feature of Google Reader to promote your posts. It’s really quite simple. All you have to do is subscribe to your own site’s RSS feed in your Google Reader. When you want to promote your site’s post, click the “Share” button and it will automatically be added to your share page.

You can also grab the link to your shared items page and add it to your blogroll or link list to complete the circle.

Example: See this very post on my shared items page.

The best part of using this method is that your shared page is hosted on a Google.com domain which of course has a higher authority for the Google search. Just remember, every link counts!
