Well, another month has passed since the last Link Building Olympics that I announced, well, a month ago.  If you don’t know what the Link Building Olympics is, well, click this: Link Building Olympics.

Essentially, it’s a way for me to be able to track my own link building efforts, as well as give you guys an opportunity to see how many links you have, and maybe evaluate how well we’ve been doing or not been doing.

To check, follow these directions, and post your results in a comment… you may also want to go back to the previous Link Building Olympics,and see how well you did, in order to compare.

1) Search at https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com for your site… (be sure to use www if you use www or exclude www if you don’t use it in link building.) The number next to “Inlinks” at the top is your number of backlinks.

and

2) Go to http://seopro.com.au/free-seo-tools/link-checker/ and enter your URL, and check the “links count” check mark…Once it starts showing your backlinks, the number at the top next to “Results (Total ###)” will be your number.

So, here goes:

Last Month:

1) 8,023
2) 6,609

This Month:

1) 9926

2) 12143

Wow, whatever database the SEOPRO site uses, must have found a bunch more of my links, as it almost doubled.  Yahoo on the other hand has fluctuated throughout the month.  A few days ago it was at 12,000, and today it was at 9,900ish.  Oh well, almost 2000 more in a month, I am excited about that!

Stay tuned for more great articles about link building.

I really wasn’t going to post about these milestones for Link Building Bible.  I considered it, and pondered, and went back and forth about it, but I really wasn’t going to.  But, while reading blogs in my RSS, i came across 2, back to back, that were posts celebrating milestones on those sites.

DoFollow Diver now searches through 600 blogs to find you quality dofollow blogs!

Link Building Bible now has 50+ posts!

Crazy…. Also, if anyone wants a few backlinks and some exposure (not tons, but it’s exposure) feel free to write a guest post about any link building topic, and send it to me from the contact form, and I will post it and hopefully drive some traffic to your site, and also give you some good backlinks.

Keep building those links so you can increase your links for the link building olympics!

Wow… Link Building Bible is already 3 months old.  It is crazy to me that 3 months has gone by already.  When starting this project, I had no clue what it would turn into, or how it would progress, or if I’d end up just quitting all together.  I’m still here, and I plan to post a lot more.

If you are familiar with the Make Money Online niche, most bloggers in that niche post their monthly earnings at the beginning of every new month.  If you’ve noticed, I don’t do that, but that’s also not the focus of the blog.  I only recently implemented a public backlinks check once a month. But, every quarter I will go through some of the highlights and basic stats, for my own benchmarking and for my own excitement.  Feel free to celebrate with me, or just move onto the next post in your RSS reader.
