Backlinks from mutliple IP addresses

How many different sites link to yours… 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000?

SEO is a numbers game, but the number of backlinks you have isn’t the only thing you should aim for.  You could simple get one footer or blogroll link on a popular site and get tens of thousands of links from every page they have.  These tens of thousands of links may look impressive but you could still be beaten by a site with say 30 backlinks in Google’s results.

Getting all of your links from one source isn’t the best SEO strategy, all the search engines look at the number of unique IP addresses linking to any one site and of course the more you can get the merrier.

If you ran a website all about “dog training” for example then gaining links from every dog related site you can find would be hugely beneficial, not only would you have a wide a range of IP address linking to you but you will also have related content links which the search engines also add positive weight to.

Another bad thing about gaining many links from one site is what may happen in the future.  The site may have a re-design or decide that all of your links should be NoFollowed links killing your SEO power in one fell swoop.  Gaining backlinks from forums or social media sites such as Yedda have this inherit risk, one day the signature link in your 1000+ forum posts could be banned or depreciated with the NoFollow tag and you’ll be in the dark.

So how do you gain backlinks from multiple IP addresses?

The best way is to contribute to related sites with techniques such as blog commenting, sponsored blog posts or forum posts.  If you help out the company then they may be happy to add a site-wide link to you within a blog roll or footer link.  As well as giving out free unique content you can try creating useful tools or flash games that they may use, backlinks can be easily added to Java or Flash applications that Google, Yahoo and Bing can read.  Some people create multiple sites that focus on specific areas of their niche, you could have one out-going link to the main content shifting the entirety of link juice power to it.

The idea is to get your site well known in as many places as possible (hopefully alongside related content), so get out there and promote your site!
