Question about getting links

    I have a question about getting links to your site when you're promoting an affiliate product or have an adsense site.

    In both cases you have a very narrow topic that is only going to interest a very narrow group of people.

    How do you go about getting a bunch of quality backlinks to your site, other than article marketing (which I already do?)

    find related dofollow blogs and make usefull comment with your url in anchor text and submit to SB sites.
    and there are lot of paid options of link building which you can find under the link sale forum here on DP

    Paid linking I don't think so it's good for your site. at least I'm not agree with you

    why do you need to paid for directories?

    instead, submit it manually.. great source of one way link.. quality links also..

    you can also try affiliate advertising..

    The trick is genuine hard work in not only one link development strategy, but many simultaneously.

    You can either buy links, or exchange links.

    I think Directory submissions are the best way to acquire backlinks...

    Find related websites and ask for link exchange.

    Thank you so much for all of your answers!

    I'm a little nervous about paid link building - not that I have any moral qualms about it whatsoever, I just don't
    want to get caught by Google and have my site penalized. How does one find a safe, legitimate paid link building solution?

    Do you guys know how I could find a list of relevant blogs with dofollow? I could just do a google search for blogs on my subject, I guess.

    Oh, then let me come with some sarcastic comments.
    1. Link exchange doesn't help your position or the result is minimal (unless you exchange links with a site that's generating loads of traffic, which is unlikely). That's why you need one way links.
    2. Paid directories or free directories will help you only by a fraction because most (I cannot help being naugthy and say 98%) of the directories doesn't have any PR in their subcategories. Obviously, the impact from a PR-n/a or PR0 will be minimal.

    That's why I would like to agree with sultanofseo and Hersheys about commenting (do not confuse commenting with spamming) and if I may add: participate in your niche forums with a signature line and make friends on Digg and Stumble to ensure you get traffic from social sites... and keep your eyes open.

    Maybe you can try with your signature, I see no link on it, and that's a free link every time you make a post. Then you can go through all the Guerrilla Marketing Strategies, such as Blog commenting, directory submission, SocialNetworking, Post Reviews, whatever... the possibilities are infinite.

    Good Luck!

    Talmid, I am pretty sure that I have to post on here a certain number of times before I can put in a signature link or any live links back to any sites. But thanks, you are right, forum signatures are powerful stuff.

    Let's say it's an affiliate site though, Tejas_Vern - as an example, if I'm promoting a clickbank product like courtrecords.org and I want to build up backlinks to my website where I talk about how great courtrecords.org is.

    I would assume most blogs would see any post of mine as being kind of commercial and an attempt to link to a sales page (which it would be), wouldn't they? I mean I would certainly leave a quality comment, i just wonder if it would be viewed as comment spam because it links back to a sales/landing page.
