Does this actually work? And what does it actually do?
[]The second way to find pages that link to you is to use the other search engines - yes, there are actually other search engines than Google ;-)
The smart and time saving way to find these pages is to use the
Marketleap Visibility Index Link Popularity Check Open the link to Marketleap and then work through the rest of this article to reveal all those nice inbound link pages that are unfortunately still hidden to Google.
Have you opened the Link Popularity Check in your browser? - ok let's go then.
Type in your URL in the 'Enter your URL here' field.
Don't type anything in the 'comparison URLs' and don't select anything in the 'industry' box (they are both optional)
Type in the Access Code from the graphics - hey that's just like when you submit pages to AltaVista :-)
Click 'Generate report'
Wait for the data to be collected.
Scroll down until you find your web site (it's marked with a star)
A quick glance at the results shows that AlltheWeb list more pages than Google so this is where your focus should be.
Click the underlined link in the AlltheWeb column.
Copy all the results from the window that pops up and paste them into your word processor of choice.
Don't just copy the URL, but also the title of the result and the short description that AlltheWeb has extracted from the pages - later you'll see why - for now just copy the lot.AlltheWeb defaults to 10 hits per page, so you will most likely need to click through all the results pages to get all the linking URLs.
Make sure you click on the 'More hits from:' link at the beginning of some of the results to get all the pages linking to you.
Save your document - just to be safe :-|
Now go back to the result page from Marketleap.
Click on the underlined link in the Google column.
Copy and paste the result URLs from Google into the same document.
Once you have been through all the pages with results it's time to compare the two lists.
Remove any results found in both Google and AlltheWeb.
What you have now is a list of pages that are linking to you, but that Google doesn't know about.
What you should do now is create a page with the Titles, descriptions and URL's. For most of the links the URL below the description is intact, but for very long URL's and dynamically created pages such as .asp?, .cgi?, .php3? and so on the URL's have been concatenated.
In these rare cases you must manually type in the URL :-(
Give the page the same look and feel as the other pages on your web site - including navigation.
Upload the page to your web site and link to it from your site index page. You don't want to link to it directly from your home page as this would leak more PageRank from your web site than necessary.
What will happen now is that GoogleBot will crawl you site index, discover the link to your newly created page, crawl that page, discover the links to all those pages with inbound links and crawl them too.
Voila, there you have it - you just 'announced' all those inbound links to Google without risk of oversubmitting.
All you have to do now is sit back and wait and let Google do its stuff. Within two months Google have included the inbound links in its index and your overall PageRank and link popularity have increased.
Time spent: 30 minutes. [/]
