Hello, I have a new website. How can I get some nice backlinks to my site (like sites/forum/directories)? also does posting in directories works? Thanks
You can do directory submission also but must check once DA of directories because only good DA directories can help you in link building and online promotion. Just keep in mind one thing that content based links always play big role in link building and catch big search engines eyes so try to get most of links with unique and related contents from Article directories, blog posting, web2.0 creation, guest posting to your niche market blogs or site. These types of works also count as natural link building and will effect your ranking more sooner than other works.
You can comment on topics on the forums. Your comments should be helpful. Directories work, it's a good tool. Sites. you need to find contacts of developers, contact them and agree on the placement of the article.
Create a Facebook page, get on Yelp - maybe Angie's List, too. Post on blogs that compliment/coincide with the service you provide. Create a Youtube account and be sure to mingle on there with like minded people. Directories? You could use them to find sites you want to infiltrate
