How to Get A Free PR4 Link To Your Site

In: Updates By: Brian Armstrong

26 May 2008

Some of you have noticed and emailed me about the “Top Commentators” section in the right hand sidebar of this website.

This is a list of people who have posted comments on the site, and as a bonus for commenting it gives the top 5 posters a link to their website (based on number of posts). This link shows up on several hundred pages of this site including the Page Rank 4 homepage.

Its a great way to build traffic and ranking in search engines for your website.

Of course, you can also just email me a thoughtful relevant question that you really would like to know the answer to, and if I post the reply I’ll include a link to your site.

What ONE THING are you really dying to know, that would help you get a business started, quit your job, or get you on your way to financial freedom?

    I love your advice about breaking free and becoming financially independent. I am currently working on a few projects which will hopefully let me quit my job but I was wondering if you can shed some light or give some advice on how to break free when you have a family to support. I have a wife and 2 kids.

    I’m sure that many of your readers are family men and i know that breaking free is very doable with the right attitude and a lot of hard work.

    It was my case. I work hard, cut my sleeping hours by 2. Skip the family nap the week-end. It took 2 years and a half. I’ve been at home since october 2006 now. I still work hard, but, it’s nice and I make three times my past income

    Another question: When naming an online business geared to the corporate world but also slightly to individuals, would you suggest using a straight forward name such as collegestudenttutors.com as you used for your recent business or would you suggest using something a little more on the humorous side to get people’s attention and them to remember the name such as yahoo.com?

    I’d like to know some concrete advice on working for yourself. What can you do that really works and what we should stay away from.

    This is a response to Creer un site. If you are making three times your past income, then maybe you shouldn’t work so hard. I just finished the first 3 chapters of “The Four-Hour Work Week”. You might want to read that book. Good stuff.

    Yes I red 4HWW at least 4 times :-)
    I had to secure my business first (wife, mortgage, 2 young ids), it’s very hard to stop the growth when you start from zero. But I’m working on to switch from selling my time to selling product or at least time with expertise at a indecent price :-)

    (ugh, I need to write english more often, I hope it’s understandable, I’ve not praticed so much for the last 2 years)

    Look to the right under “top commentators”. The link to me is there just because I’ve commented a lot. Comment a lot and you get the link. It’s a brilliant idea.

    Hi there! Regarding financial frredom and working from home, I wanted to ask about readers thoughts on getting to #1 in Google.

    I was wondering whether all the fuss and hardwork was worth it? Obviously this depends on what you are targetting. I am currently working full time and have been targetting a few niche keywords for the past 8 months.

    10 or so hours per week in my own time. My question was to see if any of the readers have achieved their Google goals in making it to a #1 position and if the rewards were as they thought they might be?

    Is it true that the #1 position receives around 42% of the traffic while #2 gets around 12% and #3 about 7%.

    If this is the case then getting to the top would mean massive traffic compared with being #10, #15 or #20.

    Is this the case? Is getting to the top well worth it, and for a high traffic volume keyword, enough to allow you to work from home an secure a good income.

    Regards,

    Dean.
