Your Link Building Secrets !

This answer just goes without saying, which I guess is why I went without saying it before, but then, you'd be amazed at how many people actually overlook it... likely due to no one saying it. So here I go...


Really good, unique content!

While you'll likely need more then just that, that is the true secret. If you have crappy content that's listed on 1000 other pages then you'll need to work 10 times as hard to build your linking network. If you have fantastic content, then well over half of your link building is done. Just get the word out and people will gladly help you link to your site for free.

But again, they will only help if what you offer is actually worthy of being linked too.
Q

 

It goes without saying, because many thousands of people before you have said that. And it's simply common sense, who wants to link to a site with absolutely no content or just crap content?

 

Look at the thousands that have have 'gone without saying it' and look at their pages. You may notice that in many cases it was not said because it did not happen. And as for who would want to link to crappy or no content pages, those that own those pages of course.

So I thought I'd mention it, as many people do not have the common sense to actually start with such content.

 

I search for my main keywords and then drop the links where ever possible from the competitors

 

signature forum, directory, articles, one way link / triangle link

 

article submission
directory submiss
bla bla

 

My best working link building secret:
- provide value and get quality backlinks.

 

I guess I submit to the wrong directories because they don't ever seem to help me. I mainly do article submissions, social bookmarking, link exchanges, and forum signatures.

My content and service related sites work best with these methods, media based sites tend to do better with all matter of social linking be it Myspace, stumbleUpon or what have you.

 

Comments on blogs and links in forums are spam. Article submissions are dumb, mind as well post it on your own site, create content and interlink.

 

Another thing is putting up a new URL to start a blog. Thats insane. Better get links to that blog, because the value of the links you put on your blog to your website will be none to very minimal. Mind as well create that content and get lnks to your original site thats worth a damn.

 

If done correctly they are not spam. You can join a forum or post on a blog with relevant information which helps the community you are posting at, which in turn can help you.

Granted, if done to only get a link out, then it can often be considered spam by all involved.

If you'd like to know how to successfully "spam" forums to where it will not look like spam then check THIS article out.

If done incorrectly I fully agree.

It's best to do both...

Write a GREAT article and post it on your own site. This created unique content and is one of the best ways to get links and good SERP. However, once you'd posted the article on your own site, then break it down into smaller articles, or rewrite it. Then take those smaller or rewritten ones and submit them to article hosts (just don't forget the links back to your site).

 

Any problem with reciprocal links ?

Tons of quality and useful content pages on your niche and great internal linking. Look at the Wikipedia site for an example

Keep on consistently adding content and keep on interlinking to relevant pages of your site within your content.

Make RSS feeds for all of your content and distribute them everywhere you can to RSS sites, Squidoo and Hubpages.

Submit all of your content to all of the social bookmarking sites.

Then submit to the highest quality of directories. Don't bother with the rest. One Yahoo, DMOZ and a few that are just under them should be fine.

I'm sick of hearing all of this spam blogs and forums to get cheap links. You should post in a forum because you enjoy it and you get something out of it, not act like you do to schill your sites. Just my opinion. I know sites like digitalpoint and sitepoint thast is kind of the purpose, but on other sites it's just blantant spam IMO.

Work hard on your sites, invest wisely and over time you'll get close to where you want to be

 

I get quite a few requests from people who want a triangle link. They ask for a link on my site to their related site and offer me a link on a totally crap site Needless to say I just ignore them.
