How to Get Backlinks with Zemanta

Are you trying to figure out how to get backlinks to your site? Are you tired of writing article after article for backlinks? Me too.  I have found another great backlink tool to add to my arsenal, and this one takes no additional work than just writing your blog posts.

Remember a while back I mentioned how Zemanta was THE must have add on for bloggers? Well, it turns out I was more right than I even knew.

Over the last couple weeks I have been using Zemanta on this blog, and my others. I recently started noticing more and more entries in my “incoming links” section of my dashboard. I did not recognize where they were coming through so I clicked through to check them out. To my surprise they were all “related websites” posted by Zemanta on other people’s websites.

Here’s what makes this so great, besides getting nice one way backlinks.

1. The anchor text for your link is the title of your post. If you choose your titles wisely, using good keywords, you will have a perfectly anchored backlink to your site.

2. Zemanta pulls posts that are relevant and related to the page they are being supplied for. This means your perfectly anchored backlink will also be on a perfectly related page!

This is the holy grail of how to get backlinks. They are one way, on a real site, that is relevant to your link, and it is perfectly anchored with YOUR keywords.  It doesn’t get much better than that, and all of this just for using a little tool called Zemanta that makes your life as a blogger easier anyway!

If you haven’t started using Zemanta yet, I sure don’t know why. It’s totally free and seems to be giving me some seriously awesome benefits.

Great post, I really like Zemanta and want to start using it on my own blog at http://www.michaelpadway.com
I use a 3rd party blog host and what I don't understand is if I am just using the Zemanta Firefox plugin will it still use my articles on the Zemanta site? How will it see them?
Thanks

It's part of your browser. I don't know how it works, but generally anywhere that you can blog it wills how up. As long as you're using firefox you should be able to use it. There is also a version for chrome now as well.

I haven't heard of this product. How have you seen these backlinks help your rankings?

I will have to try it out. I'm always skeptical of anything that doesn't involve hard work, but this one might actually work great.

Thanks for the article, and I'll definetely check our your Squidoo lens!

It's not the BEST way to get links to your sites. I like it much more for the easy access to related images and including them in my posts with one click. However, I do see quite a few links come through from sites that actually use the related articles feature. :) Why not use something that is basically 0 work if it will add a few links you probably never would have been able to get on your own.

I have been setting up Zamanta to work with Wordpress. Can you tell me if I get 10 links in from our blogs, how do I get the 10 links to link to our www.cannonelectrical.com website instead of our blogsite.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

Zemanta creates a link for each blog post ~ it's attached to the blog ~ not to a static site. You'll have to link through to the static site on your blog site, or in your blog posts. I don't think there's any way to have zemanta link directly to that static site.

"The anchor text for your link is the title of your post" very important means of seo. sometimes hard to build though

Hi Neil, it can be but the point of this post is that when zemanta pulls related posts it uses the title of your post ~ so if you have used your keywords in your post it's done for you quite easily in this instance.

Hey Ms./Mrs. Lee, how often does the plugin creator of "Zemanta" UPDATE his plugin to coincide with the latest WordPress releases and updates?

Sincerely,

Thomas Anderson

it doesn't really have anything to do with the version of wordpress. I haven't had to update zemanta and I'm now running wp 3.0. Still works great

LOL Mrs. Lee, you sure did reply pretty FAST; which symbolizes *humility* on your part, as most internet marketer's don't do that for their readers...

Sincerely,

Thomas Anderson

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for a great post!

Zemanta is a Wordpress plug in as well as a Firefox add on. I have it installed on my blog Green Questions And Answers .

It's worth mentioning that it's got a fantastic picture-finding function. It scans my post and automattically finds pictures to go with the words. It's amazing and saves me loads of time.

Zemanta is a real find!

Stephen, that's the point of an add on for firefox ~ it will work on all blogging platforms. It's not a plugin ~ it works through firefox and whatever blogging platform you use while using firefox it will show up. So blogger, or tumblr or even myspace it shows up so you can use it. And yes the picture finder is the best.

I was already convinced, but that was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Jim,

There are lots and lots of ways to get backlinks. My favorite way is to make sure you submit your blog to as many RSS directories as you can find. That way whenever you make a new post you are getting new links.

You can also check out this lens I made on how to create backlinks. It will give you a lot more ideas. :)

We can get backlinks with zemanta and backlinks is one of the best and most effective ways to get high positions in search engines and milk these positions for targeted traffic. But getting quality one way links is a big job.

Very nice ideas, useful information. I look for a lot of this experience. Thanks!

Thats really nice ideas and thanks for the tool to make life easier for finding backlink potential sites.

no it's not a plugin ~ it's an add on for firefox. It works across the board on any blogging site ~ so if you are blogging at blogger.com or wordpress or even myspace it will work in all those spaces. Super cool.

Jackie
