I’ve decided to send you to two links at the same site today.

One of the best free traffic generators is getting other sites to link back to your site. You can do this with articles, by reciprocal link trading, and a multitude of other ways, including buying links.

There is some speculation that purchasing links can hurt your results. Among the people I’ve spoken with who find this to be true, are people who have made the fact that they bought a link back to their site obvious, or are buying links from sites based solely on their page rank.

While a high-PR link has its own value, if you’re going to get linked from a site that has no topical relation to yours, be sure that the anchor text is targeted, within a context that you can control. I talk more about this in my book about Google (I’m discontinuing sale of that book shortly. I feel the information in it is priceless to those of proper understanding – therefore I’m not selling it after October 1st. Long story.)

What you’ll want to do is buy links through a third party. One of the many places you can do this is TextLinkBrokers.com .

Before you go off and buy the links to your site though, you might want to evaluate how many links you’d have to get to achieve your goals. They give you the tool to do this also. It’s a free tool called the backlinks_grabber.html”>backlinks grabber. Here’s a quote from their site on what it does:

What this tool does exactly:

1. Performs a Google search for up to the top 20 sites ranking for that keyword.
2. Crawls their backlinks and lists them by Pagerank, while eliminating duplicates and sites under the specified PR threshhold.
3. Sends you an email containing:
* a list of all the backlinks that were found multiple times in the search – these are considered ‘themed backlinks‘
* an html and/or .csv list, with PageRank, for importing into Arelis or other software.

Very useful information for your research, and it helps you make an educated purchase. I will be back shortly with more Google Tuesdays.

For Google Tuesdays, the Google site of the day is Google Blogoscoped. Features fun Google tools from time to time and monitors many of the changes in the Google world, inculding Gmail.

I hope I haven’t made this announcement before – it’s entirely possible because I love this site. LilEngine.com has recently added some great Google Tools.

Just in case I’ve already told you about those, you might also want to check out the Froogle Marketing Guide. I still haven’t gotten around to a really deep study of Froogle yet, and due to the lack of buzz about it, I suspect you and I are missing out on its potential. Let’s at least take a peek, then we can discuss what we observed in the forums.

Maybe tomorrow though. I have to do my daily client work list, then I’m going back to sleep. I’ll have at least one more tip for you first.

It’s Google Tuesdays! Aren’t you excited?

Oh I know you can do better than that! I said …. Aren’t You Excited?!?

Better!

Instead of my wacky yacking today, we’re going to keep the Google Tuesdays Tools, sites and resources short and sweet, with a particular focus on AdSense and AdWords. We’ll start in two shakes of a lamb’s tail! (What moron made that expression up?)

Ready? Break!

Note:- Most people are seeing these tips for the first time on Thursday – I’ve been moving and updating several site, and I apologize about the delay. We should be back on schedule on Monday.

Welcome back to Google Tuesdays. And what is Google Tuesday? It’s just a short update I do for my on-going list of fun and effective Google tools tips and news that I find as I make my way across the Net.

Your first Google Tuesday Tip is that Google just did another backlinks update on Monday, according to SEO Scoop. Make sure you are getting other sites to link back to you.
