Hey this is all fairly newish to me! So just looking for a few tips to start getting links for my sites! Thanks
Well, quality do-follow links mixed in with some of your natural link building (No-follow and Do-follow), should create a nice mix and move you up in the search engines. You could start by commenting on relevant blogs that allow links, forum posting, and stuff like that.
Lets add Facebook - Twitter - Digg - to the list of ways to get free traffic. The list is huge if you spend some time looking for it. There are many sources to get free traffic and links, you will just have to put the work in and get it done.
Press releases are also good @ about $20 per release with web wire... OnlyWire will submit to over 40 social bookmarking sites free.
Also a long term source of backlinks is to submit to directories(web directories and blog directories), and rss syndication
well to get going - look at directories - some ppl offer submissions some ppl offer directory inclusions, dont go too made with anchor texts as you are running a risk of being banned by google, then you can go and find relevant blogs and stick some comments on them, dont worry f they are follow or nofolllow as in the early stages you just need some links going to your site so its indexed by g good luck - get over to the link sales part of this forum, but be careful and dont pay too much.
I think article writing, social bookmarking and blog commenting are solid places to start. Dofollow and high PR are obviously recommended!
It all depends on what you want to do with your site. IMO directories are great for the website, however very few will offer any juice what so ever. We work on Social Bookmarking and special back linking A little secret to help you in your quest ... What ever your niche is i can almost guarantee that there are blog / article sites listed on the first 5 pages of your keyword term ... So simply leave decent on topic replies to the articles. [NEWBIE HELP] Example: Your site is Chocolate Frostings (or what ever) search for the phrase "Chocolate Frostings" first 1,2,3 pages will have sites about "Chocolate Frostings" and guess what your keyword is Chocolate Frostings ... simply blog / leave comments as the topic is perfect for your site, keywords can easily be hyperlinked as it's chocolate ... Do this to the first 20 pages - 50 backlinks on niche easy! [well it will take you a good few hours]. In my early days this worked a treat, I've listed many, many sites to page 1 google by just using this method [fact] - it does take time, and it'll cost you nothing apart from your time. Sometimes we look to far ahead ... when really it's staring you in the face all the time.
I have to agree with Overseas. Time and effort and no money is I think the best way to go. But I do think backlinks whilst great are only part of the story, good original content is loved by Google if updated on a regular basis. Lots of good suggestions here.
I have my main site,then a blog running alongside it which when i go into creation mode automatically updates my twitter page and so on....the blog posts i create helps my seo and the site becomes more popular.So put the work in and 6 months down the line you will start to see real results !
Correct RS - if your site lacks content - you can really forget it ... content, or should i say GOOD content is certainly KING.
Of course good content makes for better google respose - by it's very nature, more visitors will visit good content as opposed to mundane content. If it is worth reading and sharing, people will come back and keep sharing it and your organic listing will increase.
Hi mate, You can get the back links from forums, articles sites, blog commenting. And if you get the links from edu sites, they are very valuable to increase your search engine rankings.
