I would like to thank Richard for sending me a list of his bookmarks (shown below). Richard if you have a site you’d like me to mention let me know and thanks for the help compiling this page. You can use this list as a resource for getting backlinks to your sites.
Attached is [ a list ] that consists of a partial export of my bookmarks.
In it, you will find sites where anyone can create Web pages ( Blogger, Squidoo, HubPages etc.) or host blogs for free and thus create properly anchored links.
This is my contribution to help people get white hat links.
There are 70 sites in the file which is 70 more than most beginners have.
-R
I will be adding more links for programs, sites etc that you can use to obtain backlinks. If you know of any good sources please drop a comment or send an email to Grizzly

[...] Griz has a great list of these sites here: Link Resources. [...]
Don’t forget about knol.google.com/

Hey Grizz – Do you have a twitter Id? I was looking for you and didn’t find you… It’s kind of like a big party going on and I keep looking to see if I’ll run into you there!
http://twitter.com/PennyGo
Here are some social networking sites with a blog platform.
http://yuwie.com
http://friendster.com
http://apsense.com
Penny – They banned me on day one – apparently I wasn’t supposed to have 1200 followers in one day…
OHH too bad… You’re a big fish and the ocean just got smaller!!! (*.*) http://twitter.com/PennyGo Please try again!! Maybe a soft launch???

G’day Griz,
Just found your blog and love it! This page is an absolute must for those starting out, thanks for posting it.
Cheers,
Kristy
Another platform that shares the revenue is Article Post at http://www.articlep.com
Another source to provide backlinks and some dough.
G’day Griz, sorry if I talk a little informal as this is the first time I have come across you. Life has a funny way of turning up information on topics you really need to know about. Thank goodness it does though, thus me at your great site. I am going to spend the next few days absorbing all you write about as it is very relevant to my sites at present. I am at the point of just needing traffic to feed all my sites and blogs. Thanks again for your freely given information and I hope your readers see the value in this. Great article site as far as the Alexa ranking, http://www.apexarticles.com
Hey Grizzly,
You are simply amazing.. thanks for all the info.
Just one question.. when creating backlinks, do we have to write posts that actually have proper content? Or do we just write a crap post and leave an anchored backlink?
I made a little error on the site I mentioned. Here it is again, ” Great article site as far as the Alexa ranking, http://www.apexarticlebase.com” Check out their ALexa Ranking here. http://www.apexarticlebase.com/submit/ …Cheers
Griz:
(note the time — I’m in the same boat as you…)
Just been busy plowin’ through the web on a quest to learn some HTML for one of my friends’ blog background… I’m green to this so I’m going to experiment first and see how it works out.
Anyhow, I stumbled across a site that provided the following FREE blog hosting sites which I did not see in your link resources:
http://www.clearblogs.com/
http://www.blogsome.com/
There are also a couple of FREE web page hosts I did not see in your list:
http://www.blockstar.com/ (50 MB free web-space, 1 GB monthly bandwidth, domain name hosting and an online website builder.)
http://www.homepagemadeeasy.com/ (Home Page Made Easy, a site specialized in giving information on how to get, create and promote home pages the easy way. It is meant primarily for the Net-citizen who is not that comfortable with all that technical stuff such as HTML coding and Java-script.)
I hope this is a beneficial contribution and that it can help others and even you to make money online!
OK, i think my comment got eaten up somewhere…
Anyways, there is also
http://www.ucoz.com
That’s free host and domain (though you can use your own domain). They have ucoz.org, ucoz.net and other extensions as well.
This is a full blown (but easy to use) content management system, so on their sites one can have blogs, forums, articles etc…
Wow, that’s a lot of helpful links. Thanks Griz!
question…how long does it take google to work out the number of backlinks you have that are incoming and from where and thus determine your PR level ?
Does google have to crawl the linking sites first ?
Is it possible to speed up the process by sending a new sitemap to G ?
What is the best strategy with a Youtube video ? embed and existing 1 or link to an existing 1 & if so do I receive any link love or lastly create my own and upload ?
Thanks in advance
Michael
I don’t think you have added Xomba.com and Hubpages.com Both of them are highly targeted adsense sharing site for people those who have not got or not capable of maintaining and publishing their own sites and blog. They can write with those two site and get 50% of the revenue generated by their articles through adsense.
I found Beacon Hosting: http://beaconhosting.net to be a reliable free hosting service but they do have a small text ad at the bottom of your pages that they will remove free of charge if you ask them.
hi grizz!
i need some of your help.
currrently am ranking first at yahoo! for my keyword
and on top 10 for google.
but now i wanna cover other related keywords/
i never write any article about my site, coz i dont know how to. please i there is some tutor link who show how to write an article about your site?
that wood b very thankfull
thankz in advamce
Cool…
Just an idea, maybe add some non blog and non hosting sites that can still provide good service for linking?
I think being able to get anchor text is important, able to find a page through that resource that has relevant content is important.
Blogs like these work good because not only can you make the link have anchor text, title tag, and different forms like open in new window with blank, but you can use generated content.
But these aren’t only sites you can use…
Things that may also be important are
able to get link which isn’t a nofollow, able to get above PR 5, and able to get title tags on the links would be a bonus.
For example
A site like youtube is a place to get link from potentially high PR, however, because you can’t use anchor text in video description, it’s probably less valuable so perhaps wouldn’t make the list.
But an article site like ezine articles is great, because you not only can get a backlink, but you also create an RSS feed for your author account just as if it was blog. That way you can submit and have people scrape your content, BUT in doing so provide a link to your website with the right anchor text. In addition, it’s on a high PR network that is going to be easy to rank high in SERPs
Goarticles might be better in some ways because in the actual article description you can use html. This way You don’t have to worry about people scrapping content or stealing without using resource/about the author box.
Buzzle works too.
I have huge directory of links that I found that I will email to you to share, but I would rather focus on getting dofollow links with anchor text with relevant content and good PR ideally with “title” tag to the link.
Is a free domain website of any use? Like http://www.co.cc/
There is free webhosting at http://www.000webhost.com/ and they support PHP, FTP, MySql, and cPanel. I have one domain there and it works fine.
Hey Grizzly,
Great list and resource, many thanks.
If any one has a site that has information relating to making money online and they are looking to swap links, they can email me at: link@network555.com

Hey Kush,
To rank well with Google you’ve got to have good contents. And to have good contents you must post quality articles. If you do not know how to write them, get someone else to do it for you because it’s important.
hanna what? good contents? no… it’s RELEVENT content, if you read all of what grizz says you would see.
Thanks for the huge list. Possibly you can add the list of free article submission sites? I think that it is easier just to submit an article vs. making a new blog, getting it indexed, getting higher PR and all of that crap, so unless I just go and make a couple hundred blogs-all PR 1-2, it will not amount to as much as a couple articles right?
[...] get Bookmarking Demon, RSSBot and ArticleBot and use them to promote my site. I’d use this list of free blog and content sites to develop a supporting network. I would seek out high traffic blogs with good PR and comment on [...]
Thank you Grizzly for the exhaustive list. Very useful.

I have started a Tumblr blog, and I like it, although do not like the limited amount of control over the site, as compared to Blogger. Tumblr homepage has a PR of 7, so I should get some link juice if I build it up enough.
As I said above, what is the difference between taking all of the effort to make a blog and get backlinks for that vs. just submitting to some article directories?
Hi Griz,
I saw that your ‘friend’ at makemoneyonlinewithseo.com uses a platform/link resource that is called Info Barrel:
http://www.infobarrel.com
Maybe you could add this to the list, as its similar to Squidoo and Hubpages.
Graduate Blogger
Thanks for sharing the nice list. Thanks to all. i get to know some new sites.

There is a site called shetoldme.com where you can post snippets of your blog entries. You need a 200 character description.
hi!fav what are snippets?
@koosh
snippets are small parts of a whole. For example I might “snip” or cut a piece of hair and put it into a locket.
It would be a 200 character (not word) description of your article/blog post/hub/barrel/lense type things.
Sorry for the delay in answering but I do not come to this page often.
sorry I mistyped the name its @kush (I’m a sounder not a rememberer)
