Link Building Using CSS Galleries
CSS galleries are a little out of traditional yet effective link building technique. If you have a site or blog designed using CSS, you are eligible for the submission. If approved, your site will be showcased on the galleries with a link back to your site.
Just think of a directory submission or social bookmarking submission where you submit your site to link directories or social bookmarking sites. Just the same way you submit your site design using a screenshot or site preview image. Most sites will require you to submit your site name, URL, and basic design or site info. Your submission is subject to moderation as most of those galleries are moderated.
It is unbelievable to see how high these CSS gallery sites go in page ranks. Not almost, all these CSS galleries have high PR where some of those galleries are as high as PR6 or even PR7. Since this method of link building is little out of tradition and somewhat unique, not many people are still using this to build backlinks. You basically get a high PR backlinks form the sites that don’t have too many external links. High PR and less external links compared to link directories or social bookmarking sites gives your link a very high value.
