Got More Time Than Money? Try Help.com

June 7, 2008

I recently discovered this website while reading another blog. The blogs whole focus was about link building. I don’t remember the blog but , I did visit this website and used it and then quickly forgot all about www.help.com.

I rediscovered Help.com today while doing a Google search for ”Geo-targeted SEO.” This site has been ranking high on the first page, as in #1 and #2 for a couple of months for this search. I still check it daily because I still have a hard time believing that we are on the first page of Google for an SEO related search.

Usually it’s the same sites that are there, but today I clicked onto a different search result and landed on Help.com. I had forgotten about this website and that I had placed a free blurb about our business. There on the screen were several paragraphs about our business and the “Do Follow Link” on our website. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised.

I quickly opened a Word document and started writing this post. When you visit Help.com you will see in big bold letters “Start Here: Ask a question, post a rant, tell us your story.” So I told our story which lands on the first page of Google for an SEO related search. I call that Way cool. The website also has a Page Rank of 6.

I can’t say that I have noticed any traffic from the website. But I did pick up a high PR Do Follow backlink, and that’s not so bad, since there aren’t many of those available. The other great thing about this is that when you use a site like this to promote your website. When and if it does make it to the first page, you have knocked a competitor to the second page of results. You can often get on to the first page this way even when you can’t get your website there.

    Thanks!

    I have not used Help.com before but I appreciate the tip. A link is a link I guess so I may give it a try. They all add up although I’m not sure I want another social site membership, there are already more than I can keep up with :-)

    So this is like Yahoo answers? Have people had success with this? I can’t stand wading through all the stupid questions just to hoping someone will click a link on my profile.

  17. admin on June 9th, 2008 10:51 pm

    Only slightly is it like Yahoo answers.

  18. Kevin on June 13th, 2008 8:26 am

    Thanks for the great list… Wow you folks have put a lot of effort into giving away a free list. Thanks!

  19. From A spammer on June 14th, 2008 10:14 am

    good nice thanks This is a perfect example of a spam comment… Please if you are going to use this list leave a comment and become part of the conversation.

    I have removed the website link, but it went to a German website… Thanks for being understanding!

    great information on hoe do-follow links increase search engine ranks!

  21. admin on June 17th, 2008 1:12 pm

    You need all that you can get. I would place more value on branding than on the value of one link.

Got something to say?
