Get More Backlinks - The Easy Way by Giles Vineu

I want to let you into a little secret - it is possible, and even easy, to get an unlimited amount of high quality backlinks to your site, for free. The only cost will be your time, and to be honest, not much of that. I'm talking about the recently launched site called Qassia, and how you can get in, even though their doors are closed to the public.

First let me explain why this is something you should take notice of. Qassia is a sort of directory, to which you can add your own website, but that's only the first step and a tiny part of what this is about.

Once you've added your own site to the system, you can then submit what's called 'intel' which is short for intelligence. You can add any kind of intelligence you want, whether it's a unique article written by you, something already published on your blog, or, and this is the killer feature, even information published by someone else.

Yep, you read that right. You can submit any information, so long as it's legally redistributable, and a page will be created on Qassia for it, and that page will contain backlinks to your website. How cool is that? Not only do you get backlinks, you also collect credits (known as Qassia dollars) for any intel you submit. The more dollars you collect, the better placed your intel will be. It's a clever system. The links back to your website are 'followed' so they count for page rank and you can have as many pages of intel as you like.

There are some guidelines in place to prevent people falsely claiming articles are theirs, but to be honest there's no need to pretend it's anyones but the original author. What you're after are the backlinks, not the credit for the article, and you get those whoever the original author is.

The potential for this is huge because you can submit just about anything to the site, and once it's approved you get a page with a backlink to your website. It doesn't matter what the information is about either. In fact they actively encourage mundane information! Your family recipe for shortbread? What happened when you took your dog to the vet? What did you think to that new MP3 player you just bought last week? Have some thoughts on what's happening in the news? What's happening in your city, town or village?

Qassia is completely free to use and doesn't require that you link back to them in any way, although if you do link to them from your site you receive extra credits.

Ok, so where's the catch? As I write this, Qassia is by invitation only, which means you can't just go to the site and sign up. But... as you've taken the time to read this far, and as you're genuinely interested in building backlinks to your site, you get a personal invitation from me. Just visit my page at http://gilesvineu.qassia.com/ and you'll see a sign up form. No strings, no catch, nothing except a sign up form to register with Qassia.

So in summary, if you have a website and you'd like backlinks;

1. Join Qassia
2. Add your website to your account.
3. Submit intel.
4. Get a backlink.
5. Submit intel and get backlinks again, as many times as you'd like.
