I was just reading Alex Goad’s Instant Ranking Formula report and it contains a surprisingly cool trick in it for creating some free links back to your sites. While they are not super powerful backlinks, what they can do is help you get any new sites you create indexed much faster.
What this link building tip does is take advantage of certain websites that create webpages dynamically depending on the url you put in.
For example, one such site that does this is aboutus.org.
If I put in the url http://www.aboutus.org/misterfong.com into my browser window, a brand new page is created with a link back to my site. Pretty cool, right? Not only will you get the backlink, but the Google bot will crawl this new page and get it indexed very quickly.
Since it was such a simple thing to do, I spent about 5 minutes and coded up a simple script for you guys that will make building these links extremely simple. Just enter your url in the box below and click the Create Links button. The script will output a list of 16 sites, which you then need to manually click on to generate your link. (The last url you will need to copy and paste manually) That’s it! 16 links in 16 seconds… really. * Update: There are now 18 sites total.
Your url: (ie. misterfong.com – Don’t include http:// or www)
Leave a comment below if you know of other similar sites to add to this list.

Most of them worked pretty well, But one or two in between were like, Page not found and stuff..But anyways, thanks :D
Do you happen to know which sites they were? I just checked them and they all seemed live for me.
Quantcast was one of them. So was the last one, builtwith.com.
There were more than a few that gave me that message too. :)
I think the problem is the prompt says “Your url: (ie. misterfong.com)” A url can contain http … or http://www... whereas misterfong.com is a domain name so no http… or http://www...
So if I enter http://www.powerlinkgenerator-download.com the following created link will fail:
http://www.quantcast.com/http://www.powerlinkgenerator-download.com
but if you use powerlinkgenerator-download.com the created link below will work:
http://www.quantcast.com/powerlinkgenerator-download.com
Or at least it does for me.
Best wishes.

Hi Brenton
Yeah, I knew that, but I didn’t make that explicit in the instructions. I’ve updated the post to be a little more clear. Thanks for pointing it out though!
wow, that’s all there is to it? That was nice, now I hope it works :)
Thanks! tried my website and it works! just waiting for the links to be indexed.
Thanks for the script. I can always use a few extra links.
Cheers, Mate!
Thank you for a really great tip, all links working :¬)
Umm interesting to see the out come will be impressed if it works..
Not to be pint half empty… usually if its to good to be true it is?
But worth a shot..
Thanks.
Just added my site with success. Thanks..
Thanks for the script! This is a nice simple way to get some of those critical backlinks. Much appreciated!
thnx i hv checked all 16 links mostly working ..thnx alot
Thanks so much this made backlinking so much easier. All the links worked! Great work. If you find more links lets us know :)
Should you go ping these URLs (like with pingler or another service) after creating them, or just let them be found naturally by the engines.
Thanks for making this so easy.
It doesn’t hurt to ping them or social bookmark them using a free service like imautomator.com. Every little bit helps.
Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for providing this tool, helping new website owners quickly get on the google landscape. It was a very quick, productive process.
It’s onward and upward to newbie-friendly sites with link juice, such as Ezine Articles.
Well, very interesting… worked well for me. Good discovery, thanks for sharing this with all of us. I had seen the aboutus one before, but to have them all in front of me like that simplified life. thanks!
Brilliant! Found your page via Drop My Link and I’m using it to promote my custom iPod engraving service. Thanks for the cool tool!

Great quickie to get a tiny bit of link juice! For new sites this is as good a place as any to start grabbing those backlinks… thnx!
Thanks for automating this. Getting that many backlinks so quickly is awesome.

Neat trick, Chris. As you said, it won’t exactly single-handedly raise your rankings, but every bit helps.

PS Does this work for domains only or internal pages as well? Need to test it…

Hey Ana. You know, I don’t even know if this trick is effective anymore for domains OR internal pages since all the algorithm changes that have happened in the year since I posted this.
My feeling is that is probably is not as effective as it once was, but I’ll definitely have to make some time to test it again.
This is great! Thanks so much for putting that together.
I’m just starting out with SEO trying to get my website up for local results, and I’m sure this will help!
Holy smokes; talk about too easy! I’m lucky, I’m sitting on a nicely aged domain even though I’m just now getting around to doing something with it, so it’s not too bad to get Google to “trust” it per se. For getting a site or page quickly indexed and “authenticated” so to speak with the bots, especially brand new ones, this is a gold mine that my ex can’t sue for; I love it! Many thanks, Chris ~ ®ob
