hey, 2 years before we could say that do-follow blog commenting is one of the best and most effective ways to rank up high in google. But what now? These services are getting saturated and spammy very fast day by day. I have been thinking up for a while now and thought that it is time to introduce unique and never heard before link building strategies. Do you have any which you want to share with people here?
Good post, pro.seods Could not recommend any, sorry, just observations: Indeed, blog commenting and articles submissions got saturated and bring no great results anymore... So the new unique approaches are needed. Tough to be sure, but not many people will share their secrets giving them success, just because of fear to make new approaches saturated fast. But just think on some, there is much to dicover.
Actually, there much to improvise on the existing techniques. I know no one will share there ideas, even I didn't. DP is now crowded by so many cheapshots. Start one service and you will see the next one opening it at far cheaper price. Dude!!! What happens to the cost of development and shit. No one understands that.
I find the best idea for link building is to mix a few old techniques together and add your own 'special touch' and of course keep it a secret
True. More and more spammer nowadays and those quality high PR blog owner mostly change back to nofollow
Sharing new link building methods here is the best way to get them spammy and saturated within the next 2 years But seriously, currently one of the most effective methods hands down is guest posting on relevant blogs within your niche and I am not talking about posting rewritten articles on more or less generic made-for-adsense blogs with a limited backlink profile, while those postings may be still effective, you'll see these taken out by SE's in < 2 years. Its better to focus on connecting with fellow bloggers who have solid, trustworthy blogs with their own individual backlink profile and try to post your quality articles there, which is already not easy to achieve. Link building work is only getting harder and rightfully so.
Directory submission is dead by now, I believe. Article submission is crowded. Guest posting is very competitive. Comments in do-follow blogs is saturated and mostly 'll be marked spam. Is anyone ready to share any unique ideas?
You are right - guest posting is very effective, but time exhausive. But if you got money to spend then simply buy blog reviews
You bring up a very good point. Link building is very saturated, however so is every industry in life. If you walk down the supermarket aisles you will quickly realize there are hundreds of brands, if not thousands across numerous stores, all doing the same thing - trying to fill a need/niche. Link building is not a zero sum game, which means if a site is about cats, and has thousands of links, it doesn't hurt a site about travel trying to build up their relevance as well. Keep in mind that all things worth doing have competition, but all you need to do is create valuable comments, articles, posts, and direct it towards your niche, and the rest falls into place. Matt
Some of you have made a good point and yes if you are in a particular industry it kinda feels that it's saturated even though its not. But again I feel link building techniques are limited to blog commenting, directory submission and shit. The new techniques which come up are getting saturated very quickly in this case angela's backlinks and stuff. are you guys getting my point? Linkwheel also came up a few years ago and see what has happened, half of them are saying it's in-effective and shitting about it all over the place. I think this industry has a lot of this and that and no sure shit answers and theories. Every thing is assumed.
I think the best strategy is to launch an API for the service and get people to use our API and hence get a back link from thier site . Guess this is how many services like DIG etc. got so many back links in a ver ingenious method .
I think the biggest thing moving forward for most of us, is simply to take the time to work on our SEO daily. Given more competition, it's going to take continued effort to rank for most keywords now.
A good thing I have found works *really* well is to create a tool that your market really likes and then put it on software websites. For example, I had a site about "webkinz" (a stuffed toy) and I created a simple name generator app for it. I then put this app on several software sites and got like 10,000 links in a few months
I think free content will do the job on the long run. For example, if you have a health site, selling health products, what about hiring someone (or doing it yourself) to create various cms themes with your link in the footer. Sometime goes by and other start up sites start to use your themes or other content such as plugins, add-ons etc, and you gain lot's of relevant links. At first those links wouldn't be very much worthy but let's those sites gain some rankings, PR and other useful things.. It benefits you on the long run that's for sure.
Yeah, this is very true.... And its only going to get more and more saturated until someone cleans up all the crap links out there... I still use and find that building backlinks by way of article marketing and Press Release submissions are by far the best out there. If you can write superbly, and not only get the reader to click on your links, you are getting the best of 3 worlds. Potential Clients - Reading your article Organic Traffic - Clicking Your link Backlinks - Do I need to explain this? How else do you want it.
