Hi.. We have few clients who are looking for SEO services only. So, I asked my senior SEO guy and he said, Link Building only means Directory Submissions, but I dont think, its worth it, since if we submit on 2000 sites, then hardly 50 gets approved. So, Im just a bit confused, if Link Building only means directory submissions or anything else. If yes, then please let me know, what all other methods we need to do for Link Building.
No, article directories, forum postings, Answer services such as Yahoo answers, guest postings, social networking sites such as twitter, facebook, blog commenting are all forms of link building that can help directly (improving search engines ranking) or indirect (bring traffic through branding).
One link building methode that I have learn is press release link wheel, create 1 press release than submit it to 30 high pr press relase site, and once your press release is index in search engine, just see which press release site that get 1st rank with your press release info, and than create another press release but this time use link from press release site that rank 1 in your last press release.
There are hundreds of methods to build links. Directory submission is just one method. Directory submission is less effective in present SEO.
Yes, there are so many ways are available for link building. Directory submission is just one month. Few other methods are blog commenting, purchasing backlinks, link exchange etc.
Link building is the tool which help to maintain a good PR and also it helps in maintaining a good position in the search results for the particular word, links can be achieved by various methods like, Directory submission, Article publishing, Forum postings, Blogs, and also through the link exchange methods.
Directory submission is one way of building links but a lot of free directories have very low PR and the juice you get from them is shared with all the other URLs on the page - whilst a few are okay its probably worth investing more time in other forms of link building.
Link building means you can build link for your website from everywhere like directory submission, Article submission, Social bookmarking, Press release, Blog posting, commenting, forum posting, Pay per link(link exchange) etc.
Link Building is the process of creating inbound links to ones own website. This can be done by reciprocal links, being listed in e-zines, newsletters, directories, search engines, etc. Link building is one of the best ways to make your site popular. There are few types of linking one of which is reciprocal links.
Directory submission is just another process which is not that effective, there are other ways like forum posting, social networking sites, blogs, forums etc. Buying backlinks is unwise, it might give an temporary hike in traffic but sooner or later it goes down.
