While this strategy is never going to work for anything that’s even moderately competitive it can usually help you score the majority of the top 10 serps for your company name, your clients company name, or the CEO/CFO/COO’s name.
1. companydomain.com
2. profile.companydomain.com
3. Googlebase
4. Google page creator
5. companyname.blogspot.com
6. companyname.wordpress.com
7. squidoo.com/companyname/
8. companyname.newsvine.com
9. spaces.msn.com/companyname/
10. myspace.com/companyname/
Just don’t forget to “water them” with some new content (and links) throughout the year, don’t just leave them to wither and die …

i dont get the whole Google Base thing :S
I don’t “get it” either but I do I see I get ratings with it so that’s good enough for me to consider it a tool in my toolbax
cool, but how do you setup a auto redirection to your site, right now i can create a profile on Google base and have link inside of it..is that good? but i want direct links, from serach results to your site.
I’m not convinced base.google passes any link love, I see much more value in pointing to it and taking advantage of the built in authority it has.
Craigslist might be a great method of getting this done aswell. I’m not really feeling the blatent rip of craigslist that google base is doing.
I’ll agree with you about Craigs list but don’t the entry there expire? If you use Googlebase properly your entry can live forever.
Excellent ideas. I’ll be using these for my blog as well as my other businesses. It can never hurt to get higher up.
You forgot to mention Wikipedia. If your company’s big enough to merit a Wikipedia profile it’s pretty much a sure fire top 10 entry for your company name.
Does it help or hurt SEO/links/trust to make short posts on each of these “alternate” blogs/spaces pointing back to your “main” blog post? For example, make a post on myblogname.blogspot.com and myblogname.wordpress.com, etc, that says “check out my post about [keywords link here]” that links back to myblogname.com? I understand they shouldn’t be duplicate posts in multiple locations, but is there any SEO/link benefit other than someone stumbles upon any of these spaces and gets referred to the proper site?
By the way, I have been looking up on the Internet and I have found some tools which are really cools to monitor the positioning of the competition, as well as seeing their tips and tricks. If you are interested, I advised to you have a look. It seems they are free: http://www.lineared.com/es/recuperar/en-datos-posiciones-google-msn-yahoo.htm
How does Google base live forever – I have to resubmit my feed every 30 days or it will expire?
