Back link Strategy

I am putting together a strategy to increase my PR. My strategy includes the following:

- Posting on business related forums with website in signature
- Submitting articles to sites like Add to this, Digg, Article Directory etc
- Creating pages on social sites such as Facebook, Myspace linking back to my site
- Adding an a link directory to my site allowing people to submit reciprocal links automatically

Any ideas or comments?

Best Wishes

link directories work well if the page has good pagerank... It seems as if it is hard to recruit people for your directory with PR0.

 

you can ask your friends to add your website such as a buddy list or something.This works!

 

I think those four are not enough... try to increase them and apply your skills.

 

Still have many ways/techniques/effort can not listed to build backlinks, will be more if blackhat technique will be applied as well.
BTW thanks for sharing.

 

Social book and classified directories are also good option

 

Geraldine, your strategy depends on the competition for the keyword(s) you wish to rank for. Search for your keyword in "quotes" on Google and see how many pages are returned. Web/article directory links, social bookmarking, blog comments forum signatures, can all help especially with low competition keywords. But if you are in a competitive niche, you will need some potent backlinks.

And by the way, I would reconsider reciprocal links. Especially for directories, Matt Cutts has stated that Google does not like requiring a backlink in return for a free submission. Reciprocal links do not carry much SEO weight anyway. If you are going to get some reciprocal links, get them only if you stand to gain a reasonable amount of highly targeted traffic.

Happy link building!

 

Those are good but they are insufficient. Why don't you comment on blogs that has a do follow link? that would be a good strat.

 

I have to agree "do follow" blogs are the sweetest source of PR.
You need to watch out, many sites have the rel="nofollow" on their links. I use a pluggin for Firefox called "SEO for Firefox". What it does is to highlight all the rel="nofollow" links on any given page. Also some social bookmarking sites use redirects to deny you PR, so you need to watch out for that.

 

Hey Geraldine,

I'm on a 'traffic is king' trip today so I've got to ask; what are you doing about bringing in customers to your site?

I firmly believe that your PR will grow naturally if you have a decent site with decent content.

Never forget about off-web advertising.

Good luck,

Cheers, p.

 

articals and forum posting are also good option

 

Forums posting and Blogs comments are great

 

Thanks for all the great feedback. What is a 'do follow' link blog?

Cheers

Geraldine

 

A 'do follow' Blogs are Blogs that not using the 'rel=nofollow' on external links,which means those (dofollow) Blogs can give you backlinks.

Good luck friend

 

Press releases are also good at building Google confidentiality of your site

 

The simple rule : To increase the PR you should get more backlinks having a higher PR and it would be better to get the backlinks from related niches.
Some of the source of links are
Free directories
submitting articles to article directories
Signature link in the forum
Social networking sites
Blog comments etc.
and see that these links are do follow

 

Try reading articles about SEO, you'll learn a lot.. http://www.seobook.com/ will help you alot.

Thanks
