You may or may not have heard of the new link building technique that seems to be catching hold, but weather you’ve heard of it or not, it’s still been an aspect of discussion.
First, a basic rundown of how it works. Basically you create an account on their website,www.pyramidlinking.com, fill out the required information, and start a campaign. They generate a list of links and you place these links somewhere on your site. In effect, you get links back. However, that is not the beauty of it. The best part of this system is the “pyramid effect.” For example, say you link to twenty websites. In effect, over time, twice as many sites would link back to you. This means you would generate fourty backlinks as a result.
Now, keep in mind you will not immeadiately begin reaping traffic and search engine rank as a result. This is unlikely. Possible? Yes, but not likely. However, the potential benefits of this are high. This idea opens several more ideas. It’s possible with this to significantly increase your search engine ranking, your PR, and even your traffic. Keep in mind, however, this is for long term link building.
So anway, I thought I’d test out this service. The day after I registered I looked up some data about my site.
For my site, we’ll call it Site X, it has 29 pages indexed in Google, 52 pages indexed in Yahoo, and 959 pages indexed in MSN. There is very little traffic for the site. For three of my keywords, I looked up the rank. There is no rank in Google or Yahoo, but for Keyword One in MSN it is ranked #7. For Keyword Two it is ranked #5, and for Keyword Three it is ranked #6. I have kept the name and URL of the site confidential so no one can interfere with this experiment. My goal here is to, after a month or two, see if the pyramid linking had any real effect. Periodically I’ll post more on pyramid linking and it’s effect on this little experiment I cooked up.
Anyway, wish me luck.
 Oh, and you can digg this.
