Referal Linking -

Exploit Top Refer scripts - This is a bit sneaky, but we can clean it up a bit...

By using a "descriptive search" (I won't give the specifics) locate sites and blogs that display the "top" referals. There are even some popular server log/stat programs that give the general public access to these stats. Find these pages indexed in the engines and you can get a link...

On a page of your's that gets some traffic, use an iFrame with the dimensions of 1 pixel by 1 pixel so that their page is accessed every time your page is. This will appear to make seem you are refering them traffic.

To clean this up a bit, actually include a link to them on your page. However, it's still blackhat as you will be inflating the traffic you send as the iframe will load each time your page is accessed, however this doesn't translate into a click on their link each time.

There's usually a big different between pages views and click throughs.

You also want to be aware of this technique and make sure you tighten your own sites' referal leaks.

Referals
- Make sure any page that sends you traffic is indexed. It's one thing to get a link, it's another to make sure that link is indexed.

Also, if you submit a press release or an article to a directory, find those pages/URLs and link to them from your own pages you know get spidered and are indexed.

Create something like, "see our keyword press release" and/or "see our syndicated keyword article.

This is a major advantage for those that will take the trouble. I'll guess that 30-50% of your links aren't indexed.

Instead of putting all of your effort into building links, ration some of your time making sure these links are actually indexed and you are getting all the link juice you can.

In some cases, a few links to your articles on an article directory can give THAT page a good boost in the engines. Optimization and linking isn't just for your own sites, but for any and all of your assets.
