Best strategy to drive back links

Hi,

what is the best strategy mix to drive backlinks to a site?
I know blogs are good as are articles, but what else do u suggest and how much focus on each compared to the other do u make?

thanks

From my experience blogs are great. Articles can be harder but still great. Make sure you submit to top-level directories in your area, and you can always put a signature below your posts.

 

Thanks for the reply

When u say blogs, do u mean commenting or do u mean actually having a blog tied to a site?

Thanks again

It really depends on your niche. Is it possible to write a blog on your material? If so, then you should definitely write one. It would be pretty hard to write a blog on mine, though, so I try commenting.

 

i would post to sites and put my site on signature.

 

Press release distribution is another great way of gaining some high quality backlinks.

 

You can also submit to directories.
One thing I do is subscribe to google alerts ans set up alerts for my name , web site and keywords.

When one of my articles get picked up I post a comment thanking them for posting my article and I slip in another deep link to an upsell or something.
If its someone elses article or blog I post a comment and sometimes even a suggestion to join my affiliate program.
I've picked up a few decent affiliates that way.

 

Great replies - thanks all

Some ideas there, i never thought of.

Thanks again

 

top level articles, and high pr directories.

 

The best links to your site are links from related sites that recommend your web site in the normal text.

 

Thanks for the replies

Regarding blog commenting - does the name i use for blog comments have to be a keyword or is this considered spam?

Thanks

Better don't put a keyword as your name, many blog moderators will flag it as a spam.

 

Probably not the best...
but services like LinkMetro serves this purpose pretty well.

 

When blog commenting have a look at previous posts to see if using your keyword as the name is allowed. You will find a lot of blogs allow this practice and wordpress even have a widget out for it. Just remember to sign off with your real name at the bottom of your post
