Link Building Tips

Link Building can definitely be an extremely difficult task if you want to
take it on based on purely human labor to go out and request for links,
whether they are one way or reciprocal.

Here I am trying to bring few tips and few resources of link building which
you may find worth to have a look

Submit to Web Directories:
Do slow and continuous directory submissions for your site. This is an
important long term work and solution for any site. Start doing directory
submission from the very first day you site is up. Here are few free,
non-reciprocal directories:

http://www.canadianeh.com 6
http://www.aardvark.co.za 6

I have a long list of directories. See list of free, non reciprocal directories.
(I am listing few sites here to make sure this thread does not go very lengthy)

Reciprocal Link Building:
Contacting webmasters of relevant sites requesting for have a link
exchange. Write personalized emails to request for link exchange. It will
be better if you write 2-3 good things about their site and tell them how
link exchange will benefit both parties. Also, mentioning good qualities and
PageRank is always good idea.

Do not forget to ask and give (1) URL of link, (2) Title of link, and (3) Description of Link

Now, main thing is How to find good link partner. Search google and other
search engines for terms like: ?keyword reciprocal links?, ?keyword
links?, ?Keyword link exchange?, ?keyword link submit?, ?Keyword link
partner? etc.


Article Submissions:
Yeah, write quality articles which have some interesting and useful stuff,
and submit them to free article directories.

You need to put link back to your site. Let your article do double duty- (1)
bring traffic and (2) link building. You need to make your keywords
anchor of link to your site.

To be very frank, I see quick results when I succeed to place my 2-3
articles on high PageRank and high traffic sites. Some times we need to
submit article like submission to directories and sometimes we need to
request webmaster via e-mail. You need to tell them why they should put
your article on their site.

Here?s the list of top article sites you should submit your articles:
1. http://www.ezinearticles.com

Submit Press Releases:
Write press releases about your site or a section of your site and submit
them to press release distribution services.

Social Networking / Social Group Sites:
Social networking sites like www.myspace.com are very useful these days
to not only get links but also huge traffic. One more benefit of being
active is you get thousands of friends to make and then convert them into
your customers.

Participating in social group / networking sites are proving boon now a
days. There are scores of such sites available these days. People are
making money by selling the list if their friends at those site. This is a
great way to have links and traffic.

Participation in Link Programs:
There are some good link programs in which you help others to get them
link and other help you. Following are few good ones to join.

http://links-for-you.com/
http://www.webmaster-link-exchange.com/

I also recommend Co-op Advertising Network of DigitalPoint
All are free, enjoy using them.

Link from .org and .edu sites:
The education and organization sites are considered more valued sites and
links coming from those sites are valuable link. You need to search those
sites.

Just find out some forums and blogs of the organizations and education
body which have content relevant to your site. Make blog comments and
put links in them, make sure your comment is genuine and not spam.
Read the whole topic and find something to comment on the topic? job is
done.

Same way leave your links in forums signature. There is few hot topics on
forum signature telling importance at seo point of view and traffic point of
view. Go ahead and do it, you?ll make valuable links.

You can do the blog comment and forum sign at non .org and no .edu sites.

Social Book marking Site Submission:
Now a day?s people are taking interest in social bookmarking. So, I
thought I should start the service of social bookmarking. Yeah, it is worthy
enough to pay someone to do social bookmarking.

For those who are new to it, in social bookmarking system, users store
lists of Internet resources, which they find useful. These lists are
accessible to the public for their views and comments. This became a
great seo technique now.

Here are few good social bookmarking sites:

http://del.icio.us/ 8
http://www.digg.com/ 8
http://www.blinklist.com/ 6
http://ma.gnolia.com/ 7
http://www.furl.net/ 8

Thanks for the post

Yep certainly worthy a rep - cheers

I like to build one-way links as much as possible and have done well using link bid directories.

You can get links for as little as $1 lifetime and have the option to bid more to be on the index page.

I'm not quite ready to share my list I've built but will give you some tips to get you started.

Here's how to find these directories..

Go to Yahoo and use the following queries:

powered by phplinkbid inurl:buy (That should be good for 200+ links)

submit a link php link directory (sift through the results and there are lots)

Another good method is to do a backlinks search on web sites that appear on the directories a lot. If you find the right site, it can literally give you hundreds more directories.

Be creative with your search skills and you can uncover 1000+ directories.

This strategy has worked really well for me to achieve first page on major se's for very competitive terms so even if you spend $500 or more dollars over a few months the results will be worth it.

Does anybody uses 3waylinks.net?
I've heard that it's a good way to build backlinks

Greets

Thanks. These are a nice set of links.

my advice is - build your own blogfarm and link from there (remember: never close the circle)

or use Xrumer

I am also curious if anyone has used 3waylinks.com I have been thinking of using it myself.

thanks

manually ?

thanks, i have to try ezine, they are the biggest

No, I don't do it manually.

But, most people will need to do it manually unless they build a script to automate the process.

I considered outsourcing the process to cheap offshore labour but the biggest problem is link bid directories typically only accept paypal. So, you need to be able to entrust your paypal account to whomever is doing the work for you, and I won't do that.

There is some benefit to doing it manually as well. If you have numerous sites and want to spend 15 min per day each site link building it adds up pretty fast and and you wont trip and potential google filters for building links too fast.

It takes time and effort but it is worth it. To give you an example of results I've gotten recently: First Page msn for slots, first page on google for football picks, second page for nfl betting (hoping for 1st page prior to the SuperBowl which could be an easy $5000 day if it happens) and a whole lot more competitive terms ranking well.

I'm not saying I got these results overnight, but the sites were not ranking nearly as well until I implemented this strategy and once I did they climbed very fast.

Hope that helps.
