This one guy wrote a ton of great tips here: http://mixedmarketarts.com/2007/11/13/the-link-building-cookbook/
Yup......... Doing link exchange work, Directory submission at directorycritic.com, Blog posting....... Above all techniques are free............
Wherever you submit, at least make sure it is statistically better than your site. I've seen so many people waste YEARS on pointless submission just to be disappointed. I was one of them.
If you are able to offer a discount or provide an online competition you can then get your site listed on sites and forums offering money saving tips and competition lists.
Reciprocal linking is good but I heard that google knows when someone is doing 3 way reciprocal linking. So be careful
It is extremely important to strike a balance between quality content and lots of links. You can't get a ton of links with terrible content, but at the same time if you only build great content and no links your site will sit alone on an island w/ no traffic.
Still a noob, I don't understand the importance of backlinking, or what it entails exactly. I have had other websites offer to "affiliate" with my website, but I have only affiliated with one since we use their site for running xbox live contest. I heard running a legit gaming site and having tons of "affiliate" links hurts your website in the eyes of videogame publishers, so I have avoided it... is this the same thing? We are having success with gaming publishers and starting to get games from some of the bigger companies after only getting love from smaller ones for months.
couldn't agree more.. start with awesome content for 3 months... then switch over to mad link building for the next couple months (while still plugging in fresh content to keep the bots crawling your pages) and just sit and watch as the rankings take over (use this formula for all of my brand-spanking-new niche focused blogs)
Hello everyone. Do you think link building is the only way to get a good position in SERP? Does Google give credit to the content of the site also?
