A welcome from Jim Boykin, IMN CEO/Founder
If you’re looking for someone who will get you the best links and citations that are white-hat and real, then you have just found the world’s best link building company to help you. My team does the best work of anyone out there, and I have the experience to back up my claim. Listen to me discuss the do's & dont's of links on Kalicube's November 2019 podcast here.
For 20 years, I’ve considered myself an SEO who specializes in link building and strives to offer the most effective white-hat link building services anywhere. I don’t know of any other person in the world who has performed more link analysis and disavows than I have, and I’ve written extensively about link building, Google penalties, reconsideration requests, and disavow analysis, as well as speaking often at conferences on these topics.
If you want links from trusted sites and trusted pages that link to you because those people felt that your content was worth sharing, my team can help. If you believe in a long-term strategy that involves us helping you make your content the best it can be, with great brand assets and trusted content, my team can help. Together, in time, we can earn great links and your rankings will improve, and you can own your industry.
However, if you are reading all this and thinking things like, “We need to be #1 for a specific keyword phrase,” then we may not be right for you. At IMN we work to improve all of your relevant phrases. We can target a specific phrase and maybe even get you to #1, and others can possibly do that too... but the problem is that targeting specific phrases can lead to people doing things that bring unnatural links to your site, and those are things that Google loves to penalize sites for doing.
Between things like paid links, private blog networks, and guest posts on crappy blog sites, most of our competitors are doing things that I would consider shady. These are links that will often be filtered out by Google and not count. Or worse, if you get enough of those types of artificial links, then you could get penalized by Google.
The method we use for content marketing and link building services first involves creating trusted content as well as brand assets (infographics, polls, quizzes, videos, calculators, etc.). Once we create awesome trusted content and brand assets for your site, we market this content, and in turn, you earn real citations (links), which make your site more trusted than your competitors in the eyes of Google.
Content creation and marketing is not a guaranteed overnight success. For this service, we need at least a six-month commitment, but we also average a 47% improvement in organic traffic in the first six months of service, and our clients have seen an average increase in organic traffic of 90% after 12 months.
If you would like more details, please contact Chris, our VP of Sales, through this form. Note that this service starts at $7,500 per month and includes consulting, content, and marketing. The average link building client invests around $20,000 a month with us. We can also help with analyzing your current backlinks or assist in recovering from a link penalty. I’ve analyzed more backlinks on more sites for the purpose of disavowing and penalty recovery than anyone, and we’ve even created our own backlink analysis tool, the world’s best, in my humble opinion.
Peace and love,
Jim Boykin

This is one of the best SEO tools out there! Use it to find broken links on your site and generate an XML-formatted sitemap. You also have the option to export your data into a downloadable spreadsheet.
Links are critically important to webpages, not only for connecting to other, related pages to help end users find the information they want, but in optimizing the pages for SEO. The Find Broken Links, Redirects & Google Sitemap Generator Free Tool allows webmasters and search engine optimizers to check the status of both external links and internal links on an entire website. The resulting report generated by the Google sitemap generator tool will give webmasters and SEOs insight to the link structure of a website, and identify link redirects and errors, all of which help in planning a link optimization strategy. We always offer the downloadable results and the sitemap generator free for everyone.
The Internal/External Backlink Analyzer Tool by Jim Boykin generates a list of links on a webpage. It analyzes the page and returns a table of data containing columns, one for links and another for their associated anchor text. If a hyperlink is represented by an image, the image's alt attribute is included as the anchor text.
Provide the URL of the page and let the tool crawl all the images and links on it: Instantly see broken or redirected images, broken links, compare external versus internal link usage, preview images, etc. The original idea is by Jim Boykin.
This tool allows you to get a better sense of your link neighborhood by accessing the external links for internal pages on the input URL. Once the report has generated the per page external links list, you also have the opportunity to revise the number of times any given website is linked out to. To help you “clean house”, this tool also lists any errors you are receiving from the links that may negatively affect your neighborhood; this makes it easier to ID any links that you need to remove or otherwise revise. Data from this report can be accessed in both .xls and .html formats.
This tool will crawl all URLs linked from the provided page and generate a handy report of header responses for each outlink as well as the title tag of a linked page. Use the tool to quickly get an idea of where any page links to and if there are any potential issues (broken links, weird redirects or irrelevant content your page is linking to).

This interlinking plugin for Wordpress will let you easily and meaningfully link to your old articles, pages or other sites to improve their rankings in search engines and generate more clicks. The Internal Link Building plugin lets you assign keywords to given destination URLs. This way your website will link within itself like it's done in Wikipedia - every time a keyword occurs, it links to the page you specified in the plugin dashboard. You can set the words to be case sensitive (to only interlink your brand name for example), you can make links nofollow (makes sense when you link to affiliate products), you can upload keywords in bulk, etc.

Link building is the process of getting other websites to link to yours. Often, link building is done for SEO purposes: The sites that link to you are one of the biggest signals that Google uses to determine how a site/page will rank for keyword searches.
A backlink on a website is a link from someone else's website that points to your site. If Site A has a link on one of their pages that goes to Site B, then Site B could say that they have a backlink from Site A. To find any site's backlinks, you can use a tool like the Ninja Backlink Tool.
A backlink in SEO is a powerful part of a site's Google rankings. Webmasters will often work to build good backlinks as well as analyze their backlinks to find ones that could hurt their site.
A link building campaign is an effort to get other sites to link to a targeted site to help it rank higher in Google. However, while some tactics can help your site, artificial techniques can often get a website penalized.
Google would prefer that your link building be natural: Create good content and people will want to link to it. A sizable number of SEOs use tactics that are against Google's guidelines, which can bring quick results but attract penalties that can leave a site worse off in the end.
As Google started to dominate the world of search engines and everyone found out that who links to you matters, then link building services started popping up, including ours, founded in 1999 by Jim Boykin. Back then, it was more of a Wild West, and a lot of things that SEOs did then are known to be bad now. We have evolved; many other firms have not.
Backlinks are one of the most important aspects when it comes to SEO. You need your site to be more trusted than your competitors' sites in order to rank higher in Google. Other important ranking factors include having great content and a great user experience: If you lack on those, having great backlinks won't matter.
Getting other great sites to link to you is very important if you are doing SEO. But earning links by having good content people want to link to is better than artificial link building tactics, which can get you penalized by Google.
Link building has changed, but it's not dead. Many SEOs have moved their link building efforts toward creating great content, then marketing that content in the hopes of earning links. The link building techniques of the past are dead, but it has evolved into marketing great content today.
Having good backlinks shows Google that your site is a trusted authority worth linking to. If you want to rank higher for phrases that are relevant to your site, doing things to get other sites to link to you should be a very important goal.
If you just wait for people to find your content in the hopes that people will link to it, you may be waiting a long time. If you can create great content and brand assets that are worth linking to, then promote that content so more people see it, your chances of getting links is much higher.
How you do link building should be largely the same whether you run a small business or have a large e-commerce site. The goal should be to make your pages and your site better than anyone else's, then market your content to earn links: You need good pages first, with content that deserves those backlinks.
Manual link building is something done by hand rather than by automated processes. Automated link building is considered "black hat" by Google. Manual link building can still use shady tactics, though, so "manual" doesn't automatically mean "good." If you can earn backlinks with good content, that is better.
White-hat link building obtains backlinks using methods that are within Google's guidelines. Black-hat link building, on the other hand, builds backlinks that are artificial and against these guidelines. White-hat link building is what everyone wants and many claim to offer, but it is rarely seen.
If you're trying to get links from directory submission sites, stop; 99% of these directories are spam, and Google knows that. Unless you know 100% for sure that a site that has a directory is trustworthy and not penalized by Google, you should not submit your pages to these sites.
Another link building shortcut is to buy an expired domain with links pointing to it and use those links to your advantage. But unless you have a site that you're willing to burn, using expired domains to get backlinks is not advisable. If you're searching for this service, you can easily find some that offer it, but it's risky.
Getting citations in social media has little, if any, direct impact on how Google ranks pages in their index. Most SEOs who use social media are hoping to promote their great content in the hopes that others will see it, and write about it elsewhere, so that the site obtains earned backlinks.
Nothing beats natural links for earning trust or power in the eyes of Google. If you can create great things for your site that are worthy of being cited by other people and websites, that's a white-hat approach.
There are a few methods of getting backlinks, but most are black-hat. The advice that we would give is to create great content that can earn backlinks from other sites. Anything you do to get backlinks that is artificial is not recommended.
Depending on who you ask, the process will be different. At IMN, we will analyze your current site to see what is "linkable," and we will recommend many more things you can add to make your site more linkable. Then, we will promote the content that is worthy of links.
You start by building great content that people will want to link to. Then, either hire someone who has a great reputation or become an expert yourself. Don't try to hire someone to do this unless you're 100% confident about their skills: Many SEOs could get your site penalized for doing this wrong.
The words that other sites use to link to your site are very important for ranking high in the search results for these words. Google and Bing use the words that other sites use to link to you as major indicators of what your page is about. But if you try to get links that use certain keywords to link to you, you're probably doing something that could get you penalized.
A great place to find linking opportunities is to study your competitors' backlinks to see who's linking to them. Also, you can look for content that the competitors have that appears to be valuable, then create that type of content for your site, ideally making yours better than theirs.
Unless you're an expert in SEO, I wouldn't try to manage this process. Hire Internet Marketing Ninjas and we can handle it for you: We've been doing this since 1999. If you don't want the stress of managing a link building campaign yourself, we're here to help.
Most of the common strategies for obtaining backlinks are cheap and unsafe. The best-case scenario is that Google won't count those links; the worst-case scenario is that Google will penalize your site. In order to earn trusted, high-quality backlinks, you need a great content strategy, one that can earn natural backlinks.
Often, when people have created content that they feel others could benefit from, they will email those people to ask them to link to their site. This can be a workable approach, but more often that not, this is done in an automatic way and in bulk, which just makes you look like a spammer.
Some of the most popular link building outreach methods are automated ones, since they're quick and cheap. But anything done in bulk or via a tool, where the person writing the outreach email hasn't even see the website they're writing to, would be considered spam. You can also do this process manually, with real, thoughtful humans, which is a much better approach.
"Content marketing" is a more acceptable phrase in the SEO industry because these days, good SEOs will be promoting content instead of doing the formerly common service of "link building," which can easily be done badly and get your site in trouble. Both approaches have similar end goals, but they use different tactics to reach those goals.
There's no software that we recommend for link building. But if you want to analyze the backlinks to your site or to your competitors' websites, which can help you with your link building efforts, then you can use the Ninja Backlink Tool. This tool gathers link data from Moz, Majestic, Ahrefs, SEMrush, and your analytics.
At Ninjas, we help clients to create great content that is link-worthy, then work to promote that content to people and places that could benefit from it. With our white-hat approach, we can earn good links for your site.
We do not offer "typical" link building packages: We customize our content marketing efforts for your site. At Ninjas, we believe that each client deserves better than a cookie-cutter approach. Your company isn't merely "typical," and your link building package shouldn't be, either.
Our link building services start at $7,500 per month, including consulting and linkable content development as well as marketing. You can certainly find link building prices that are lower than ours, but in this area, cheaper is not better: Cut-rate services are likely to hurt your site in the end. We believe that the quality of our link building is well worth the price.
Our manual link building approach relies on creating link-worthy content and marketing it to trustworthy sites. At Ninjas, our methods help our clients get results and stay safe from penalties.
Broken link building is a service that Ninjas uses a very small percent of the time. This service usually includes finding pages that no longer exist on the Internet, creating similar content to what used to be on that page, publishing that new content on your site, and then emailing those who link to the broken page to let them know that they can fix that broken link by linking to your page instead.
It's simple to hire the best link building service: just contact Internet Marketing Ninjas. We do high-quality, white-hat work that can help your site rank better in Google and avoid being penalized or hurt by a Google update.
