I have been building links for specific keywords for a loooong time, mostly through the pages i find on this here forum. my niche is fashion and i think i may have exhausted my potential sites! now i'm sure you're thinking "yea right, there's a millions sites and blogs in that niche" - my question is where can i find them?
Rather than focus on link building alone, why not concentrate on getting fresh and keyword rich contents as well. I'm not so particular when it comes to link building except the fact that maybe it's important for PR but I would put a lot of focus when it comes to content.
Wow! Between blog commenting, Social bookmarking, Social Media, stumbleupon, articles and all the other fertile ground that is yet unfinished I would love to be in your position, really! I have been doing this - link building - pretty much non stop for over a year and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. It seems every time I think I have found the end of the internet I get a rude awakening. Visiting here a couple of times a week is always a gold mine. I really wish you great luck as I don't see that result for a very long, looooonnnnngggg time.
Richromo, maybe you were trying too hard? I mean, if you leave too many links in a short time you can actually hurt your PR and search page ranking. Maybe you just need more patience?
sweetlove: Great advice! I agree that since google wants organic linking that is natural and develops gradually getting too many links too quickly is hazardous to my health and the website's as well. On the other hand my area is competitive with competitors getting 2-3 thousand links per month and many having well over 100,000 and growing exponentially.
Articles submission is also a good way to generate backlinks and there is no limit to the number of articles you can write.
If you have time focus on other traffic resources not only search engines, using social media, video marketing and building email/blog subscriber.
Think about link building as part of your every day work. It should never end. Go find one of the many directory lists out there and submit to directories for 15 minutes every day. Then spend another 45 minutes researching sites that are in your niche, where you are a sub-niche, sub-niches of you, somewhat related niches, etc. You'll find that you've overlooked a lot. Then contact webmasters in those niches and tell them why your content would be valuable to their visitors. If you've got a good site you'll get links.
yes but there is a limit of quality article websites out there. once you have all you links across 10-15 articles on a variety of GOOD article sites, where does one go?
