Adobe: Beyond Flash - FLEX your muscle and gain SEO EDGE

Filed under: Linking — Jim Matheson @ 6:22 am

Adobe PR 10 BacklinkEveryone knows that Adobe is one of the elite PR10, top dawg authority sites on the web. With that knowledge it is once again a no brainer to understand that with a PR10 home page, almost every page on the domain carries a sick amount of authority and page rank.

How can you get links from Adobe? Well if your company has done some development using Adobe products, here are a few examples of how you can get involved and subsequently rewarded….

1. Apply for the 2008 Adobe Max awards. Their 2007 site has a PR8 and both winners and honorable mentions get a PR7 backlink. In fact you get more link love if you are an honorable mention then you do for winning, so it pays to have a good but not great submission.

2. Take part in Flex Camp!
Hang around and get interviewed for quotes and you can get a backlink from a page like this one.

3. Get involved with the Flex dev community. Submit content, and you get an “About the author” plug at the bottom of your entry - write a very long entry and they break it into multiple parts - more links for you.

4. Another option is to write some content for the Edge newsletter!

See, just because a full flash web site makes you cringe does not mean you should stay away from using Adobe products for development. I’ve seen a new site come out of absolutely nowhere to a PR7 with just a few Adobe.com back links.

PS - yes, it is true that PR is no longer the end all of SEO that it was a few years ago, but a backlink (or 10) from someone like Adobe can do wonders for you either way, and if your site is development related you are golden. Happy flexxing.
