Hi there, I'm looking to build quality backlinks to my sites effectively and efficiently to improve the PR of my sites. I just wonder what kinds of linkbuilding are bad ones and what kinds of linkbuilding work are good ones. Looking forwards to reply soon. Thanks.
Non related links, linking to porn, gambling, drugs, weapons, hate etc, FFA, lots of interlinking is bad, any site claiming to sell pr, sites that dont care as long as they sell you a link. They are mostly the bad type.
That topic could fill thousands of pages. But since this is the directory forum I'll keep it simple and focus on those. What you're looking for in a directory link is editorial standards. Those links are more valuable because there are fewer of them given out, they can't be replicated by low-quality websites, and you are far more likely to be placed in a highly relevant category. You can check a directory by looking at some of the entries on its latests listings page. Most have one of these pages, and if it's a FFA posing as a directory or if it hasn't been updated in a while this will usually stand out.
Absolutely correct. Rather than submitting to all and any look for directories with unique category structures which contain relevant sites with well written descriptions. High editorial standards are imho the most important aspect of a directory and yet it's the one that most lack.
Dofollow blog commenting and forum sigs are good links to have for juice. If you are talking specifically about directory links, then take a thorough reccy of the directory before submitting. Check to see who your neighbours might be.
