The recently released Google Sniper course by George Brown has gotten an excellent critical reception. It provides a start-to-finish system for creating websites to make money online. While Google Sniper works, it does omit teaching one critical area of SEO, but you can fill in that knowledge gap with this article.

The foundation of Google Sniper involves picking low competition keywords, creating highly themed content with excellent on-page optimization, and pre-selling your visitors with a review or story. George provides more than enough info on those areas. Problem is, the course assumes you did a perfect job of assessing your competition, because if you made a mistake, you won’t rank well without link building.

If you’ve done any internet marketing before, you know it’s usually not that easy to find a perfect keyword. If you make a mistake with the keyword, you’re probably not getting first page of Google, or any sales for that matter.

What can we do to combat this?

The easiest solution to this issue is to simply build links pointing to your site. Well, you’ve got a problem, because George hates link building, so he doesn’t really talk much about it. Given that issue, I thought I’d give you a quick primer on some basic ways of link building here.

1. Social Bookmarking: George says most of what needs to be said on these. Don’t make these the foundation of your link building efforts though, most of them are no-follow, so Google doesn’t give them a ton of weight.

2. Link Wheels: This involves making a bunch of web 2.0 blogs that link to each other in a circle, and then pointing a link from all of them to your money site. You can find more info by Googling “linkwheel”.

3. Profile Links: A lot of sites where you can register a user account will let you post a link to your site. Check out MTV.com and MacUpdate for starters.

4. Blog Commenting: Find blogs that you can leave smart, relevant comments on, and post using your anchor text as your name and don’t forget to put in your URL!

5. Article Submission: Write high-quality articles and submit them to reputable article directories. These directories will allow you to include a resource box at the end of the article where you can link back to your site. Not only do you get a backlink out of this, but these articles usually rank well in Google, so you’ll get some traffic out of the deal too.

The 5 techniques above will give you the foundation of link building, which you can use to increase your Google rankings no matter how tough your competition is. Now that you’ve got this knowledge, the one hole in the Google Sniper system has been patched and you’re ready to start building your empire. Get to the site building, there are buyers waiting for you!
