Authority sites that give back links for free

[International sites:]

Today I read this cool post from blogstorm, and thought to reproduce it by adding a few sites.

Bellow are a few sites that you can use to get more incoming links to your sites. Those links may have or may not have weight, but I thought it would be ok to try

International sites:

CNN
Orange
Contact Music
BBC
Tiscali
Exa Lead
Web.de
Search.com
Altavista

Greek sites:

In.gr (biggest portal in Greece)
Pathfinder (second bigger portal in Greece)

there is also an MSN reporter here in Holland.

the links are direct too:
http://reporter.msn.nl/?f=contribute

and nu.nl is also some dutch news site:
http://www.nujij.nl/nieuw-bericht.132.lynkx (also direct links)

Nick just checked the links, but most of them showing Google search results, is that what you want to show us?

how do we get the back links from those sites?

the sites I suggested are working like digg...

The idea is to get those pages (with your links) to get indexed by google. This way you may get some weight because of the authority of these domains.

but a lot of those sites are showing google results, so you're on there

I don't think that matters. I mean they served through another site, so google should regularly index them.

oh i get it.

ok got this sneeky feeling most people haven't got it

lets use CNN as an example say my website timnash.co.uk wanted a nice influencial backlink from CNN I tried asking but they said no so instead I look for a way to get my pages crawled I notice to my surprise that when I search site:http://search.cnn.com/
results start showing up so you start thinking and playing with the search engine until you find a nice result that just ranks the site you want crawled you could of course cheat.
so for example Tim Nash the hard part is getting google to crawl this page, you know it can be done because you saw search results in google index above so its just a matter of leverage enough links.

But remember search.cnn.com is on a different subdomain and is spammed to death so Google will no doubt be discounting such links hence why I showed you this full example but now you get the idea I'm sure you can be creative just
a) make sure the search results are appearing in Google
b) are not nofollowed
c) look at the number of links being used to get them crawled

i think this method is familiar with what black hats do with xss and .edu and .gov domains.

Yeah but it is not actually black hat, because those links are actually there. You are not planting them

yes, but we can ping them urls so the bots will be a coming just like what the black hats do, right?

ping won't help you need a very large amount of inbound links to those results to get the bots to crawl it, for example for a cnn search to be crawled it needs about 100 inbound links

Why that much? I see google indexes parts of my sites that are not linked from anywhere (eg. a search page) with just one link from other sites.

I somehow doubt that google won't recognize its own search results. The links could be indexed, but I'm sure they won't be in the google index for long.

This makes me think about proxy sites, when doing a search for allinurl:myproxysite.com it used to come up with tens of thousands of results. Sites like MySpace got indexed through the proxy. My proxied pages where removed, but MySpace is still in the search index. They should have removed myspace and let my proxied pages in the index, everyone knows most people need a proxy to get on myspace...

Oh and Tim, one other thing, these links at cnn are useless. Just run the page through the UselessLink Detector

Well this is because of the duplicate content algorithm. But as google index is not in the index (I mean google don't index it's own results) it wont see those pages as duplicates.

Why that much?

The pages are orphans so have no inbound links from the domain they sit on, so Google tends to discount them after all why would someone link to a url externally but not internally?

The principle is to throw so much link juice at it that Google can't ignore it,

With XSS you can mitigate the problem slighlty by creating more and more XSS injections all interlinking to your target injection and then throwing as much juice as you can, if one injection is crawled then all of them are crawled. so if you got 5 target sites you can get 5 links for the same amount of inbound links as 1.

With the above you can't do that as their is no way to point another search result to the result you want until it is crawled.

Really oh my now I wonder why I would be spilling the beans to a working technique

But remember search.cnn.com is on a different subdomain and is spammed to death so Google will no doubt be discounting such links hence why I showed you this full example but now you get the idea I'm sure you can be creative

Be creative

Tim I think you are not right. For instance the site:www.webdigity.com/ws/ query return 11.700 results. Most of them are not linked by webdigity but from other sites (eg. my directories) and in 99.9% there is not more than one link to each record.
