If you reviewed my post the other day about  linking secrets for top Google positions, you may already have come across Neil Shearing’s Top Linking Secrets. It is a large PDF report you can download with a number of excellent bonuses (including step-by-step videos) which takes you right from “what are backlinks?” into multiple advanced techniques for linking.

Its already getting rave reviews.

If you want to know whether Top Linking Secrets is for you, let me review the content in more detail for you;

• Chapter 1 covers the basics - what are links, what are the secrets, and why do we want them?
• Chapter 2 discusses internal and external backlinks, anchor text and nofollow
• Chapter 3 tells you why links are so important to obtain
• Chapter 4 discusses “artificial” vs “natural” link systems
• Chapter 5 introduces the fourth dimension - time - as an important factor in your linking strategy, and other elements that will make or break your linking. One of these is what Mike Liebner calls “obnoxious patterns,” a term that always makes me smile
• Chapter 6 covers 15 different ways to get more links (”begging” isn’t one of them!)
• Chapter 7 gives you a blueprint for starting a new backlink campaign
• Chapter 8 goes seriously in-depth into article marketing, include how to create a lot of content from a few words and viral strategies, including rebrandable reports
• Chapter 9 discusses variation and keeping an element of “randomness” in your linkbuilding efforts. Obnoxious patterns again
• Chapter 10 discusses directory submissions - something that many people unneccesarily spend a lot of money on. Neil shows you which directories its worth investing in, and when.

As you can see Top Linking Secrets covers everything there is to know about getting backlinks for SEO.

Any criticisms?

• I’m a great fan of rebrandable reports and I’d have liked to see this covered in more detail - but I concede its a bit off topic.
• There’s talk of trust in sites, but no direct reference to TrustRank.
• There’s definitely such thing as an over-optmization penalty - I’ve seen it in action. Neil covers this, but only as it pertains to off-page optimization (in a lot of scientific detail, I might add.) My point? It would be possible to invest in Neil’s product, do your off-page optimization “buy the book” and still rank badly due to poor on-page efforts. Just be aware this is not a general SEO ebook, it is specific to off-page optimization.
• I’m annoyed that Neil knows some of the cool tricks I know, and has shared them. Frankly I’d rather he hadn’t
• One white-hat technique for getting more links is to use a link distribution script that rotates links. Neil doesn’t offer one, but there’s one I wrote here. Comment if you need help using it.
• There’s nothing black, grey or blue hat in here. Its safe and solid but if you like to dabble with the dark side, you’ll be dissapointed.

All in all though, Top Linking Secrets is a top-notch product which fills a massive gap in the SEO info-market and will effectively become the reference manual for white-hat linkbuilders. So much so-called SEO info is a total scam nowadays. As always Neil, a PhD scientist with the uncommon ability to explain complex concepts in plain English, slices through all the rubbish that’s out there and offers an excellent product that covers all bases from newbie to advanced in understandable - and actionable- steps. Nice one Neil!

If you want more links, more traffic and hence more sales, you should strongly consider investing in Top Linking Secrets

I didn’t even mention the videos! You can check them out here.
