back links which are best?

What kind of back links are best now adays
I have heard it said that directory submitions are becoming obsolete Is this true.
Also a lot of sites that allow you to post a link want one back in return but this can get messy and once again I have heard it said that google putting less importance on these types of links

So what is are the best kind of links

 

High PageRank in a related niche.
Always were.

 

Yes, directories are nearly obsolete now.

And anytime you have to give a link to gain a link, you're not doing as well as you could. You're looking for one way backlinks from relevant, high quality sites.

 

Hello,

if you can able to go through

Social Bookmarking
forum Posting
Article Marketing
Blog Posting

so this is the perfect strategies to improve the back links and about directory submission that it's long term return. so instead of contrasting on directory submission, so with some advance off page methods.

 

I don't think directory submission is becoming obsolete, links coming from reputable directories specially human edited ones are being respected by search engines.

And with the number of directory owners in this forum promoting their website, I doubt if directories are becoming obsolete.

 

directory submission dont work the way they used to but if you can submit to good list of directories, they still work to some extent. you dont need to spend time on link exchange as there are plenty of ways to build one way backlinks for free. read this article to learn about some free link building methods

 

Directory submission and forum signature to get backlinks maybe not so important to search engine!

 

I think that the best to get good quality page rank is through social bookmarking, blog commenting, guest posting and forum marketing.

 

One way quality backlinks already make sense. Directory listings are also useful if the link page has some Page rank,
Try to get listing in high PR sites and provide users a reason to naturally link back to you.

 

yes, one way backlinks from relevant high pr site is absolutely the best, though it's very difficult to get it

 

One way links from high PR sites are your best bet...as mentioned.

 

one way backlinks is always working as long as is relevan to your topic and specially high PR directory

 

Directories have lost their quality over time but are still good in my view. Link exchanges aren't a good way to backlinks either. The best links are simply from known sites with a decent PageRank, preferably do-follow as well.

 

I second Relevant and high PR links

 

Back-links are hyperlinks placed on another website which link to your site. The most powerful back-links are one-way, meaning that another website has links pointing to your site, but you don't have a reciprocal link pointing back to theirs. The search engines often see these kinds of links as the most valuable because the website doing the linking is not getting anything in return, so they must be linking to you because they really think the site is valuable.

Using forums is a great way to get high quality one-way back-links to your site. These links can generate direct traffic to your site, as people browsing the forum click your links in addition to raising your search engine ranking.

Anything with a high PR

 

high page rank quality content theme related....

 

Do follow Blog commenting and do-follow forums are some of the best ways of generating backlinks.

 

I have had trouble with backlinks in the past. As we all know, the best links are high PR and relevant sites. These are the most difficult to get, and you have to try to get them without linking back to them since the search engines don't favor this.

I'll keep researching and make a thread as to how to achieve this goal.

 

Thanks for your replies
I am doing a couple of tests on seo and trying to get two sites I have ranked for a certain phrase

I got one site I made recently to rank No1 for a chosen key phrase but is want a big challenge so I am upping my game

I have researched the keyphrase for one of my sites
The No1 site in google doesnt have many back links although other sites listed beneath it do

I hope to do this with a blog and classified lists mainly and also myself posting on blogs
Although the site is geo targeted so I need to get local backlinks
Let you know how I get on and am sure i will have more questions
