Even after my post a few days ago about changing the mindset of getting traffic I know most of you still want to build links to get some Google love. That’s ok ~ Google traffic is free, and once it’s established it’s pretty much hands off so I understand.
The question then becomes:
How do I build enough links?
Thus far we have been creating a lot of content to add our links to, which means a lot of writing. I also realize not everyone loves to write or finds writing easy to do. For those of you who fall into that category I’ve got a treat for you today.
Backlink Packets.
I found out about backlink packets not too long ago. These kind of links are totally different than anything we’ve done thus far. There’s no writing involved.
What is a backlink packet?
Basically someone has gone through the web and found places you can put links to your site. They have put all these sites together in one packet and will sell it to you.
What kind of sites are you talking about?
These kind be any kind of site where you can leave a link so you’re looking at forums (where you can leave a link in the profile and signature areas) blogs (where you can leave links in your name field) they also manage to dig up some great .edu and .gov sites where you can leave links. These are especially great because .edu and .gov links are considered much better in the eyes of google than just about anything.
How does it work?
You buy your link packet. It comes to you probably in a zip file. You open the document and you’ll be given a list of urls. You go one by one to each url, find the place where you can leave your link and then do what you need to do to leave the link ~ whether it’s open an account and create a profile or leave the comment etc. You do that over and over and over again, getting links for each page of your site to help it do better in the search engine rankings.
Does it work?
Yeah, it works. There’s been plenty of people who have used just this method and ranked quite well with their sites.
Is it easy?
Well that depends on your version of easy. I find it can be a little bit frustrating, looking around and finding where the links go and then doing what needs to be done to create the link. But keep in mind ~ I think writing is easy. 
Are there instructions?
It depends who you get your packet from. There are basically 2 places I recommend you get your packets from.
1. Angela’s packets. Angela sells her packets through the Warrior forum. She does it all by hand and provides step by step by step instructions for each of the sites. She walks you through exactly where to go and what to do when you get there. You will get 30 links each month. The first month is free so this is a great way to get started and see if you will follow through with this method before you spend money on it.
2. 5000 Backlinks. This product comes from Lynn Terry. It is a one time payment and you will receive 5000 places to link from. She also sends you more links each month so it’s the best of both worlds. In addition to the links Lynn has added some great extras including a plan on how to get started and make this process work. She also includes a “secret trick” to get your sites indexed and 20 backlinks to them within a day or two (and it only takes 5 seconds to do it). I’ve tried this on a brand new site and it worked quite well. If you know you want to do this method of backlink building I would definitely go with this larger packet and not worry about a month to month thing, since you’re going to get more monthly links as well. There are no “instructions” on where to find the place to link ~ you’ll have to figure it out, but it’s not that hard to recognize once you’ve been doing it for a while.
Pros of this type of linking:
- You don’t have to write.
- You can easily outsource this for cheap.
Cons of this type of linking:
- Some of the linking places will change their policy as more and more people do this incorrectly, so when you get there you may find you are unable to create your link.
This is not that big of a deal because there are more than enough places to link from ~ but be aware it does happen and it’s part of the deal.
- It can be confusing trying to find where to link from
So if you are running a micro niche site or are looking to get most of your traffic from Google this is a fantastic way to build links to get your keywords ranking. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments. I have and use both of the recommended products in this post so I can let you know more of my thoughts lol.

Backlink packets is a really good alternative to building backlinks. However, it's important that all other aspects of SEO are covered still. Using backlink packets are effective, especially when used correctly.
