Link Building Guide Part 4 – Oggix.com

Oggix

This is part 3 in my Link Building Guide for Affiliate Websites. I’ve been using Oggix for a while now with reasonable success for highly targeted keywords & deep pages within my affiliate sites. This particular technique outlines two ways you can use Oggix to build links to your sites.

The Shoutbox

Oggix is a rather popular shoutbox system that users can put on their site & guests can leave messages (and & link ). To find out sites or blogs that are using the shoutbox you simply have to use this query on google. You can see I’ve used the query to find over 1600 pages to target related to SEO.

The main downside to this technique is that if you use it on popular sites with many shouts your link will scroll off fairly quickly, or it won’t be permanent. The fun part of this technique is finding dormant blogs that will allow you link to stick. I’ve found hundreds so I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it fairly easy. The shoutboxes are usually sitewide, which is an added bonus, however they’re contained within an Iframe, (this doesn’t mean we still can’t get a link out of it).

Simply view the source of the code & grab the URL that the Iframe is loading, i.e.: http://server3.oggix.biz/shout/show/?oggixid=21399&type=1&smileys=1

Load this up with your links & fire it into your Social Network Link Farm that I spoke about earlier.

A word of warning if you’re planning on going hard with this technique is to mix up your anchor text. For example if you’re targeting the same page about Link Building for example, don’t add 250 links with the same anchor text, mix it up a little:

Link Building in Melbourne
Melbourne Link Building
One Way Link Building
Best Link Building
Cheap Link Building Melbourne

Not only will you increase your long tail, but you’ll be less likely to trip any nasty spam filters.

Oggix Free ADs

If the first technique wasn’t enough to wet your appetite then this will. Oggix also has an additional section to their site that’s designed in the style of a blog. However all the content is user generated in the form of user submitted links.

So here’s a quick & easy way for you to get a permanent link on a fairly strong PR4 site. Not only that, you can resubmit every 10 mins & include links to deep pages within your site.

These ads.oggix.com posts seem to get indexed fairly quickly (within 24 hours) which implies to me that the site passes just a hint of authority.

If you like these sorts of link building techniques I’ve got a heap more on the way so stay tuned

well, it’s iframed and has a captcha
not sure how much link weight you’re gonna get from the iframed chat box, but you’ll prolly get some clicks. every bit helps i guess

Hi, first of all thanks for all your great tips: your link building guide is really interesting and I’m always eager to learn new techniques from your blog.

Anyway, I’m not really sure links in Oggix shoutbox can pass PR: if you look the source code of those sites, you won’t see any reference to the links in the shoutbox, nor the relative anchor texts. Since the shoutbox is hosted in an external iframe, I highly doubt they would pass juice. What do you think about it?

Bye, keep doing the great work.
Fab.

Sorry guys, I use a few shoutboxes for links & forgot these guys Iframe.

I’ve added a paragraph to the post to outline what I do to get around the Iframe trick & still get some links

The ogix ads is a gem! Can’t believe your giving that away actually, thank you.

I don’t think the shout box posting will be that useful for me, because you have to get the shoutbox page indexed/give it authority, it seems more trouble than its worth, but its definitely a useful technique for looking up other old CMS’s eg guestbooks etc, just look for the footprints.

Thanks again

Just quick feedback, my first oggixix ad was indexed (by google) in a total of 2minutes. No bookmarking required. I pinged it, but i dont think that would have made a difference. You should probably advise people not to abuse it, or the people over at oggix might retaliate. Thanks again

Great find on those text ads. I’ve really been enjoying this series, the techniques you give are useful in themselves, but they also inspire me to come up with other similiar strategies on my own. One thing I worry about, though, is when things like this cross over the line into “black hat” territory. I have some sites which I am fairly proud of (useful, not spammy) that I wouldn’t want to see getting banned at some later point because I was too aggressive with my link building. What is the general rule of thumb?

These are all some great tips. Will definitely check out the Oggix idea.

Tim 12. Jan 2008, 2:26 pm

Right now a Google search for “Link Building in Melbourne” shows this page as #1 result

I haven’t ever used oggix before, must give it a shot.

Hi Stuart, this is really one of the brilliant post on this blog. I will surely try to experiment & take it a bit further.

Oggix ads get some serious spidering love from google, i posted an ad and it’s already been indexed. :O

Link building rocks lol. Thanks for the share of the article and the hints

Cache 29. Jan 2008, 9:28 am

Not sure what the iframe url is for. Is that supposed to be added to the social link farm sites? Are you trying to get that oggix users profile indexed first, and then eventually it will traverse all the shouts on that shoutbox?

Jane Grath 15. Feb 2008, 9:02 pm
