I was just wondering what methods you all use to develop backlinks to your site? .... non paid methods only! - Do you simply search for related sites, then try post comments, ask for a link, or get into their forums? - Do you spend time getting to know the sites community before dropping your links in? - Do you have a form of viral marketing you use - Do you develop tools / widgets to get people interested in your site - Are there other ways you use? What has worked best for you? I currently stay active in a few related forums, but I don't go onto many as I prefer to stay active on the ones I post on. I am attempting the others I listed now to see if they work, I have a feeling they might but I do not know to what extend!
Do directories actually help your page rank? I always wondered if google saw them as a kind of link farm? Apologies I think this is a duplicate thread :'(
Yes directories do help you to gain popularity, its best if its a strong directory like sevenseek or aviva etc.
My personal preferences of link developing: 1. Article Marketing 2. Forum Posting 3. Reciprocal Linking Though article marketing is my favorite form of free advertising I usually only have time for forum posting these days.
Keep on developing your site and add content. In this way you will get links from other website that like your website. (Free and permanent)

In fact this is an excellent way of building backlinks. Check adlogger as an example. Its website became PR6 in a short time. Similarly i had created two opensource projects a few years before and stop developing them later. Recently, i checked their homepages. They are PR6. Another example is DP, the main reson of DP's success is its free tools which were published before this forum. I will try to utilize this methdod more!
Me, I've been active to forums that gives our site high traffic and forums that has many informative post.
Blog Comments have no effect on SEO, as most blogs have a "rel=nofollow" in their tags. However, if you post quality comments they can send in Good traffic.
through directories, articles, forums, blog, social bookmarking sites, link baiting, and link exchange with related, quality, and trusted sites...

The best thing to do is Link exchange with quality related site,Directories Submissions ,Articles Submissions with link on it, blog,bookmarking sites,and forums with your anchor text.

Don't be to hasty with forum posting, as they don't allow u to sometimes post your link directly in a forum post.Only in the sig is links allowed.Except for when the poster ask for a website, but then everybody post their websites.
