How to Linkbuild for an Entertainment Related Website

Linkbuilding is an important tool for getting traffic for websites. You can get direct traffic by creating links and improve the amount of traffic you get through search engines. Different types of websites will use different websites to effectively linkbuild. For instance, in order to maximize its traffic potential, a science website would need to utilize different sites to linkbuild than those of an entertainment site. This article focuses on entertainment and 'popular culture' related websites.

Mahalo

Mahalo is a people powered search engine. It covers a lot of entertainment related topics. The search engine appears in other search engines like Google but it does not pass along link "juice" in terms of the rel=follow tag.

Some links that you add may be removed from the page and your site may be banned from submitting links to that page if the content is viewed as not being 100% of value to the topic. Submitting to Mahalo thus may not be as valuable as submitting links to IMDB or FanPop but submitting links can be done quickly which might make it worth the few extra minutes to submit links.
