Below you will find a list of the 12 “Authority Codes” that we use to locate high-quality inbound links:

site:.com inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.org inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.gov inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”

site:.com “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.org “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.edu “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.gov “powered by expressionengine” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”

site:.com “Powered by BlogEngine.NET”site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.org “Powered by BlogEngine.NET”site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.edu “Powered by BlogEngine.NET”site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”
site:.gov “Powered by BlogEngine.NET”site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -“comments closed” -“you must be logged in” “ADD YOUR KEYWORD”

The top four codes are designed to locate WordPress blogs that allow for commenting. The middle group is designed to find Expression Engine blogs, and the bottom group is designed to find BlogEngine blogs
Expression Engine and BlogEngine are both popular among academics and some government agencies for some reason, which is why we like to focus on those in additional to WordPress.
Since WordPress is the most common blogging platform, however, we’re usually able to get our 10 links without going beyond the first 4 “Authority Codes”.

QUICK TIP: If your search returns zero results, broaden your keyword phrase a bit (i.e. go from “dog walking” to “dog”).

Example: Wrong
Post a comment image wrong

Example: Correct
Post a comment image correct

Video Site Sharing List

I will have the list of video sharing sites I use included in each task’s spreadsheet. You will not have to decide where to post videos, I will do this.

What’s Most Important About Video Submissions

1) You will always want to include the keyword phrase I am targeting in the Title, Description and Tags

2) Make absolutely certain you include the website URL in the Description

3) If making videos, make sure to watermark the videos with the website URL

See Examples:

Youtube.com

Livevideo.com

Enter tags in box and click the + sign and they will be saved for future use.

PAD Files

A P.A.D. file stands for, “Portable Application Description” and rightfully so, it DESCRIBES a file that you create – and upload to directories – and in that file, there is a link back to your money site. (PAD files are .xml files – FYI)

Another way to describe a PAD file – is like an envelope that contains another file that you create (like a .pdf or .exe file). This “envelope” (or PAD file) is then “mailed” to many different directories with your URL in the “return address”… For getting backlinks, the type of file you put in your PAD file – isn’t that important.

3: How to Create a Free .PDF File

4: How and Where to Upload Your .PDF/Screensaver File and PAD (.xml file)

Files you will upload:

1. Your PDF, .EXE or Other Type of Downloadable File

2. An Image – Like A Screenshot or Image Used In Your File

3. Your PAD (.XML) File

5: How to Make the Download-Page in Squidoo for Your Pad Submission

6: How to Generate & Submit the PAD (xml file) for Validation to the OMT Tool

The 2 places that you can provide a URL in the PAD file are as follows:

  • Company Website URL

  • Application Info (seen in image above)

Depending on the directories that your file is submitted to – some will display both of these URLs when posted – and others will only display the “Application Info”.

So we recommend that you put a link to the page you want to get the “link-juice” from, in the “Application Info” box.

PAD File – Summary:

  • Create a screensaver or .pdf file with your content in it.

  • Upload this file (along with a .jpg of an image you are using) to your GoTryThis FTP server.

  • Create a “Download Page” (using a Web2 property of your choice) that points to your downloadable file on the server, saying something like, “Download Here”.

  • Create a PAD file to describe your downloadable file (with the proper links to the files on the server) and a link to your “Download Page”.

  • Validate the PAD file to ensure that the links are working properly.

  • Upload the PAD file to the same directory on the server as the other 2 files

  • Optional Step: Submit your PAD.xml file to the free pad file submitter.
