Four Trusted Links You Can Build Today
So you’re launching a site on a brand new domain?! What are you, a masochist?
And you haven’t even made any major link bait yet? What are you, trying to fail?
Just kidding 
Beating the sandbox and gaining trust is no easy feat. In my experience, the hardest part is getting started. Well if you can clear out a few hours in your afternoon, here are four easy trusted links you can get that new domain today. (Actually, there are two bonus links, that makes six easy trusted links!)
1) A lesser-known Wikipedia page: Do you have an investment-related site? Do not try to add your homepage link to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock. Instead, add the deep link to your "The Forward P/E Ratio Explained" page from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PE_ratio… it’ll have a much better chance of still being there tomorrow.
2) The Squidoo lens for your site’s topic: Parasite SEO at its best. The Squidoo domain is gaining IBLs and trust quickly, and any page on the domain will inherit some of its trust. Bonus points if you actually take the time to make the lens useful, and link out to other authority sites. Caveat: You only take full advantage of this trust by building a few links to the Squidoo page itself, giving it a bit of link pop independent of the root domain.
3) The three ultra-trusted directories: They charge for an editorial review, not a listing. One is specifically recommended in Google’s guidelines for webmasters; I’d bet my [insert valuable appendage here] that the other two are highly trusted, too… Yahoo!, MSN bCentral, Business.com
4) A juicy TLA link: I really, really like the publishers in TLA’s inventory that currently have zero or one links sold… why not get in there and gobble up the lion’s share of the link pop?
All done? Don’t rest on your laurels! Now that you’ve gotten the seven easy trusted links, you’d better go chase a hundred more hard ones. So get crackin’ on that link bait!
