Hey again NickEubanks,

1. checking up on my stats again for my site. its age is 59 days old and has not been registered before.

2. crawl stats are high of 137, average of 61, low of 10. That includes every data point since it is so young(less than 90 days old).

3. seomoz campaign says that I have 78 pages crawled though i dont think all of them should get indexed as pages seemed to get indexed within minutes usually. 59 are indexed. 57 were indexed today and I wrote a post as well as made a new navigation page to keep organized and then it went to 59 within minutes. I don't think tag pages with a single post get indexed or something since some tags do seem to get indexed and also have multiple posts.

4. total links: 1628 from 538 domains. Domain homepage PA of 40 with a DA of 33. Dmozrank 5.3.

my page for the keyword i plan to rank first for is PA 38, 67 links from 14 domains.

The site ranking in first position is much younger (2 year old site) than the other 6 beating me as I am in position 8.

these 6 have 5 with between 60 to 80 DA and one of the worse ranking site on the serps with a DA 46 though it was beating a DA 62.

Each also ranges from have very little to quite a lot of links.

first i'll share the first position stats as it is related to your main focus. PA 14 DA74, 71 links from 4 domains.

all the other 6 are over 10 years old.

after my site is a 6 year old site which i am now beating.

hope you enjoy this juicy info.

so in about 2 months i got to DA33 to answer your original question. This has been fun.

edit(i forgot to answer your question of where my sites are): I have used this strategy with several sites, dittoeffect.com which currently is over a year old and gets about 1million+ hits a year as well as another site which I will not share the name of which is only a month old competing with some 10 year old credit card sites for some decent terms in the top 10 (3000 a month search volume terms).

Sometimes it may seem that way however the way I see it is that sometimes a tumblr blog is not very popular or does not have a lot of links and page rank going to it so it won't be crawled for quite some time (even up to 60 days sometimes). Because of this you can see a fairly regular stream of links coming in.

Also I doubt you would be as obsessed with it as I was as I was building close to 700 likes a day (700 or more links a day) so I could focus my attention on this over a short period of time.

Being really good with searching on google and through other means I also used this to get links from high page rank sites including 400-800 over PR4-6 page links included in those. The higher page rank pages do get crawled faster though so sometimes it may be wise to avoid getting more than one from a domain. Also since these links are virtually endless, limited by the time and effort put into it, you can just get like 20 a day in a couple minutes and then just forget about it to keep it looking really natural.

Make sure to look at the rules for tumblr as self promotion is not something they support.

A good thing to do though which I don't even really see as self promotion is to search in google:

inurl:tumblr.com "your keywords"

in my opinion by liking relevant pages to your site you are then avoiding self promotion as you would obviously have interest in these pages as well as the added bonus of being able to add 1000s of relevant links.

Another important note is that your blog can be something like ditto-effect.tumblr.com and the links you get show up as ditto-effect. google sees these as links with the anchor text "ditto effect" without the hyphen so thats great too. Only fall back is that these can only link to your main page and only one tumblr account can be pointed to a domain.

Its hard to say the value of some of these links because its not in content though at the very least this is a great way to get page rank to go up as well as get your site crawled like crazy.

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask

ya for sure. commentluv applies best for those writing blog posts.

rereading the OP one aspect is helping with indexation. I read somewhere that twitter links (while not dofollow) do help with indexation speed.

If possible Simon could you be more specific as to what kind of new sites you plan on trying to get easy links for?

ah yes i believe i am mistaken. I got confused since seoquake does not cross out the links from my twitter page though it should cross out nofollow links.

the commentluv tip should help out though

Thats some really good advice there.

a few other suggestions include:

1. A Twitter profile has dofollow links for both the main profile as well as it seems as though tweets have dofollow links though you cant choose the anchor text.

2. Commentluv blog comments - search on google "commentluv enabled" "keywords or general topic" for example "commentluv enabled" "dog houses". Commentluv allows you to comment on a blog and generally in return one of your more recent posts can be selected for as dofollow link.

You do have a good point, the DA is quite relevant to the results even for pages with a low PA.

Here is some info on the seomoz domain authority http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority

to my understanding google values links differently depending on their age to confirm stability and authority.

Are you sure seomoz determines domain authority through age?

edit: with one of my sites after its first crawl after 2 weeks of existing the DA is 13. the next crawl begins on the 11th i could let you know what the results are after that as the metrics are quite slow to catch up (was 15 linking domains after 2 weeks now is well over 700 linking domains after a big link bait at 4 weeks old according to webmaster tools which is also behind)

You are over complicating a metric which may not even be relevant to what you want to achieve.

DA does not = higher SERPs necessarily.

DA can be increased probably well over 50 within a few weeks if you have the right connections.

I have noticed that getting links from the appropriate TLD extension really determines where you rank on each google serps for the individual country.

you can search for sites related to yours for the specific TLD by putting inurl:.com in google along with your keywords.

the same thing works for all other extensions.

this makes finding .edu link opportunities a breeze for example

Besides link building you will want to make sure on webmaster tools you have set your targeted country to the country you want to rank best for. For example I have a site about college students which I've set to target the US since Canada mostly calls post secondary education University and College so the audience is split much more.

Hope this helps.

I suggest looking into building links with tumblr. you can make a tumblr blog and in the options you can set that tumblr blog to forward to your website's domain. after doing this you can then like other people's posts on their blogs by clicking a little heart on other tumblr blogs and by doing this you will get a link back to your site from their blog. this is a really easy way to get a lot of links quite easily.

having a lot of experience and practice I managed to get well over 10,000 in about a few weeks. Part of the reason for such a large number of links is because posts can be reblogged which means that another person's blog will have a copy of a post including the links to your blog. This means that liking one post sometimes gets you even over 10 links on 10 other tumblr blogs.

This is great for getting indexed and getting crawled very frequently though not so great for getting a variety of anchor text.

if this is unclear check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJYWNh1S_8o this video is a bit old but i think it goes over how to set up your account to point to your site.

hope this helps.
