Welcome to the Think Links System!

Think Links is more than a linking report. It's a powerful guide to creating your own cyber real estate network.

While others are building neighborhood shops, our goal is to create a business that has "franchises" all over the internet. We want to be everywhere there is traffic.

Think Links takes linking a step or two beyond the normal linking products. We aren't linking to boost a single mini-site to the top for good keywords.

Instead, we're building a network of resources that will be able to boost the rankings of many sites.

This won't happen immediately. It takes longer to build a shopping mall than a single store. But it is more powerful. Much more powerful.

By setting things up as detailed here, we are building a network of link wheels and other linking strategies that will look totally natural.

Getting links by the tons is easy. The key to this is really more about content (words). We cover this in more detail in Biggest SEO Secret-Content, but you should always be on the lookout for more content. The more content you have access to, the easier it is to build real estate and links.

"Words" are the building bricks of cyber real estate. The more bricks you have, the more buildings you can create.
 

How to use Think Links:

<= You'll see many resources in the left "frame". When you click on them, the pages will appear here.

Some of the links take you to pages that are part of this report.

Other links to you to other sites on the Net.

And still other links will take you directly to Google Search results.

NOTE: Some sites will "break out" of these frames...This means the page won't stay in this window and will take over the entire browser window. Not much you can do, just be aware that it will happen.

You may want to bookmark this entire frameset, so you can get back to it quickly and easily if anything happens.

Using the [keywords] Feature:

You'll notice that some search links are "normal", while others include [keywords].

The "normal" links are so you can easily get the "raw" results, which typically will be the more popular resources.

But, Think Links also includes the ability to easily add keywords to these searches, so (hopefully) you'll get more relevant results.

Just using any keywords at all will give you a different list than others will use. It's good to mix things up.

To do this, just enter your keywords in the box and press "Update". To change keywords again, you will first need to click the "clear" button, then re-enter and click "go" again. This way, you can check multiple Google searches  for the same keyword, without having to fill out the search box each time.

IMPORTANT: When you "update" the keywords, you are NOT searching...You are changing some of the links below the search box. These links are to Google searches and your keyword(s) are included in the search. For example, type in "dog training", click "Update", then scroll down and notice the links that now have "dog training" in them.

Next, be sure to read the Automation and Prep articles. These are ESSENTIAL to saving you blood, sweat and tears. Get to know these techniques and resources, as they are all real time-savers over the long term:

Link Decay and Link Velocity

A couple of quick concepts about link building before we get started...Link Velocity and Link Decay.

Link velocity is how fast is a site gaining backlinks? The speed with which you gain links could benefit your rankings, as link velocity may be a sign that a site is "popular".

Link decay is a concept being talked about recently and it makes very good sense. It's the opposite of link velocity. Link decay is when you lose links and the speed which you do so. If your sites are losing links, it may be a sign that your site isn't very good and/or you are using link spamming techniques.

If you think about it, it makes sense. Why would a site lose links at a faster rate than "normal" for that niche? And, it could very well vary from niche to niche. You may be able to build and lose links quickly in one niche, but the same strategy could be disastrous in another niche. Don't let seo "experts" tell you what is going on based on their own single example.

So if you are going to build links for the long-haul, you probably want to build them as fast as possible, but only in ways that these links will "stick". This means you can't create tons of spam links, then point these links to crap pages.

Here's a few relevant articles concerning link decay and link spam:

Unlike more RSS programs, MadBombers have access to some software and strategies that make their RSS links "static" on their own sites, so these links are permanent and not subject to any possible "link decay". (MadBomber see: ZZ Tuel and/or Godfather)

Is it link decay theory? Yes. But both Yahoo and Microsoft have filed patents relating to link decay. Google has similar concepts.

So we know the engines are aware of the concept. I think it would be easy to keep track of the increase/decrease of linking over time, and the concept of link velocity and link decay make sense.
