April 8th, 2010In these tough economic times parasite hosting can allow you to get one way back-links to you web site for free, reaping the SEO benefit, without spending a dime. This method can be very effective and the price is definitely right. On this page you will find out what parasite hosting is and how to get the most out of it when link building for SEO. I want you to be confident that you can learn seo.
Parasite hosting can be summed up pretty easily: free blogs or web sites. Somebody (probably a marketer) came up with this name to make sound mysterious or exotic. There are a lot of sites out there that will allow you to build these blogs or sites for free and many have a page rank of 7 or higher. Even though your blog will not have that page rank it still is a good thing because this puts you in a “good neighborhood” in the eyes of the search engines.
I have no doubt you already know some of these web sites and just did not know they were considered parasite hosts. Does WordPress or Hubpages ring a bell? You may not have heard of others like Xanga or Wetpaint but they are also high PR sites that you can use to build quality one way back-links to whatever page of your site you wish. Just do a search for free blog or top free blogs and you will find a bunch of them.
By putting a free blog on one of these parasite hosts you can get great SEO benefit. what you need to do is post content that is related to your market and place one or two anchor text links to your web site within that content. Remember though that to get the most bang for your buck (even though it’s free) you need to use content relevant to your niche.
If you do not know how to make an anchor text link don’t worry. All these site provide you with a WYSIWYG editor to build your blog with. Simply highlight the text you want to use for your anchor text link, click the chain icon, put in the address to the page you want to link to and you’re done.
If you really want an SEO boost build several of these free sites and form a mini-net out of them. A mini-net is simply a network of inter-linked sites. By linking several of these sites together you boost the quality of the links going to your main site. You can really get creative here and build more than one mini-net and have links going between them as well.
The next thing you will want to do to really turn up the link juice is to use social bookmarking on all the free sites you create. By doing this the links going from these free sites to your main web site will give even more SEO benefit.
You should now have a good understanding of what parasite hosting is. As you have seen there are many ways to take advantage of free blogs and web sites to build links for SEO and increase the rankings of your web site. That only leaves one thing, get out there and start building links. If you have found this information good and need more seo help follow that link.
