vBulletinSetup hit 100,000 Back Links

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-04-2007, 09:44 AM

For the longest time, VBS was stuck right around 87,000 links.. I then picked up a few links and released the 2 styles and now it seems we are picking up 2-500 back links a day

Our google links were 1500 but now it shows under 1,000

I'm going to be releasing at least 3 more styles when they get down ( total of 5 ) and if we can afford it, we'll start releasing a few WordPress and phpLD styles for the other 2 main parts of the vBulletinSetup.com URL.

We've picked up most our url's in the past from quality content and being re-posted.. I'd still like to keep this up, as it's a key part in Ranking.

Thanks everyone,

Enjoy the site

ps. thats only to the forum.vbulletinsetup.com URL

That is a lot of backlinks. I used a site called Domain-Pop to check my backlinks.

Brandon - very impressive work! Have you considered making some money off of link building campaigns for people? You obviously have proven yourself to everyone. Let me know if you might be interested. =)

Actually, I have thought about it.. The thing is, I don't really like searching for back links :p

Maybe we could work something out tho.

cheers

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-10-2007, 11:08 AM

Quit bragging.

BTW I have over 22,000 backlinks.

**cajunboy2208** · 05-14-2007, 07:55 PM

How do I go about doing back links?
I ran my site it says I only have 116.
What exactly do back links do?
Also checked with a competitor of mine, with over 10k members, his only has a total of 7.
And my site has less than 300 members...

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-14-2007, 07:59 PM

The best way to get links is build quality content

**cajunboy2208** · 05-14-2007, 08:43 PM

What stuff makes for good quality?

um. stuff that you would read

**cajunboy2208** · 05-14-2007, 09:08 PM

lmao! Well that helped a lot. But I understand. I was just asking if 1 thing is better than the other. Such as a topic on the war or a topic on... clothes?

05-15-2007, 09:35 AM

113k Brandon

idk, it just depends on your site.. Like if your site is about video games,and you can put out some reviews of new games that aren't out yet, I'd say that would be good info.

No you won't. When it gets to 150k you'll say "I wish it was 200k".

I'm up to 20,863.

**cajunboy2208** · 05-15-2007, 09:59 PM

Somehow I dropped to 102.
Don't know how that happened... I guess my site got crappier? lol
Nothing was taken off or moved or anything. Just a few new threads

Just realized it was after I added this code

RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^bleepd.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.bleepd.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I also did a google search of my site, and when I look it up, my main page isn't as #1 anymore, or even on there for that matter.

I took off the code, and I will see what happens once it all updates and repost.

whatever you do, you need to stay consistent. I changed my title tag and was dropped off the front page for several keywords in a matter of hours

I've since changed them back and have been working ever since to get in the top position.

**cajunboy2208** · 05-16-2007, 01:31 PM

Well I am back up to 110. I am not sure what is up with that. I guess I will have to do some more experiments... Also anyone know of a good keyword search? I use Keywords Enhancer to do most of my stuff. But I am running out of ideas for Meta tags...

**cajunboy2208** · 05-17-2007, 08:45 AM

That was a pretty nice thing there. I added about 50 new keywords yesterday, now up to 120. And I saw one of the keywords I put in get about 5 guests to view that page within the hour.

Nice work

**Brandon Sheley** · 06-10-2007, 01:35 PM

I've started working to get more backlinks to the main page, where our portal is now.
Right now I have 11,000 links to the root.. It's going to take some work do multiply that by 10 :O

btw, we're up to 140k for forum.vbulletintsetup.com

**Fireproof** · 06-10-2007, 02:12 PM

Holy cow - that's amazing!!!

I put in some work this weekend but have a loooooong way to go.

How much do you think you invested in just link building to get there (paid links, paid article submissions, etc)?

And which is the best link checker to monitor my progress?

Tnx.

**Brandon Sheley** · 06-10-2007, 02:58 PM

Not real sure but I'd say high XXX for the vBulletinSetup.com url, and subdomains.

This what I use to track back-links on multiple pages
