The secret of great backlinks!

Lots of people still posting here, asking about how to get free directory links, mass article links, and link exchange links etc - old methods best considered devalued for mainstream purposes.

Here's the really big secret on how to get great backlinks:

Imagine there are no search engines, no PPC, no banner ads. How would you then be able to get targeted traffic to your website?

It sounds like a vague proposition, but if you can dare to stop to try and address it, and look around the web for opportunities based on this proposition, you will find great link opportunities.

You see (as I've spoken about at SES and SMX), the reason Google originally placed a high value on links is because links were the founding method of communication on the internet. You want to talk about something, you link to it.

That's what Google is looking for - not links, but methods of communication that will invariably involve links as a practical consequence.

Google has tried to faithfully keep to following that remit - PageRank, authority, semantic relationships - these are all different ways in which to determine core natural communications online.

If you therefore pursue a communications strategy online, with an awareness of how links may be valued, then you will inevitably find a range of opportunities.

Link building has always been a creative process - opportunities do not arise from free directory subs, article writing, social media profiles, etc - these are simply attempts to force opportunities against a range of potential filters.

Instead think carefully about how you would run a communications strategy, using links to illustrate the very products and services or information you are trying to convey - and see where this route takes you.

There should be no easy answers - the method that works best should be individual to your business.

And it demands time and patience and some creative thinking.

But if you can dare to try it, you will force your competitors to follow in your footsteps.

The way people think about links is invariably wrong - the biggest tip I can give is to try and challenge the mindset that causes this.

Hope that helps.

 

Different stroke for different people. Thanks for your post. In addition to that, we should never be afraid to try out something new.

 

Would you give a simple example of how you'd market a product withing "forcing" backlinks creation?

 

The essence of the post is to create awareness among webmasters to think CREATIVELY.

 

That's a different point of view. But after many years of experimental no body really knows how Google do rank and list all pages and how you get a top 3 listing of your targeted keywords.
All I know is, that if you have a very old page (min. 7 years old) a good seo on your page and high PR backlinks from related sites, that you site will be on the top of the searches on google.
Thanks anyway for your different view on this...

 

Yes Google prefer the site which is old rather then the new one's because they are reliable customers and are more trustworthy then new one's... So if they do legal way of link building then they will achieve first position.

 

An interesting topic, thanks

very helpful this will really help me

 

Can you please give us any example of any way like?

 

Thanks for sharing... valuable info

 

The more quality backlinks and listings that verify the existence of your business, the more legitimate and relevant your business becomes to Google. The more legitimate and relevant your business is according to Google, the higher your search engine ranking is.

 

Great informative post.

 

I've thought about this recently, but reading your post gave me a real boost to give it some more serious thought.
Too bad my competition is already doing this.

You can combine it with the forced way of getting backlinks.
But what better way of getting a good ranking in google than by actually creating value and get talked about (linked to) in your niche.

We don't know exactly how google ranks, but we do know what their goal is. Give the best results on your searches.
So why not actually become the best result.

 

Thank you for sharing your personal review. It was really useful for all the SEO Users..

 

Can you give an example of a quality backlink, as well as a bad one? Is it the backlinking website's content that determines its value?

 

your inforation is very useful for me. thanks for sharing this .

 

You need to have a very good internal linking strategy and that should be through occasional revision of your older posts to include newer links. Also, linking out to relevant resources can give you some ranking weight.

 

interesting question
thanks for sharing!!!!
