More and more we are hearing about backlinks and how important they are to getting a good pagerank on Google. And this is a question we get time and again, "how do I get more people to link to my blog?"
One thing you need to keep in mind is that it's better to have a highly ranked website link to you. So I was wondering if that works on Amazon.com? Maybe I'm missing something here and web/SEO gurus who know way more about this can add to my limited knowledge, but if you were to set up a profile on Amazon.com that includes a link to your blog, then post book reviews, create Listmania lists and guides, wouldn't that help your pagerank?
At the very least it can help create awareness for you and your business. If your review is substantial and provocative, a reader might click on the link for your name. That takes them to your profile and if that's compelling, they may click on the link to your blog. Over the weekend I posted a review of Tom Antion's book The Ultimate Guide to Electronic Marketing for Small Business. I'm going to make a point to post book reviews from here on out and see if it makes any difference.
Do you use this as a way to drive traffic to your blog? If so, what's your experience?
