Hi my fellow linbuilder, Our mutual problem is that we are always looking for new ways to SUBMIT links. Is this really powerful SEO or is it more like gambling? I want you to tell me about the best ways to GET links from relevant qualitative sites who will be linking to you. Forget about telling me to write a blog and network on twitter. We all know about this. Tell me about your new and refreshing ways to build links to your website without doing anything but building a quality website or do new kinds of promotion. Something new: For example, has anyone ever done any successful experiments with offline marketing to get links to your website?
Build a white hat link directory that is a attractive and that is actually useful for your sites visitors. You occasionally do lose traffic, but the links to you are well worth it.
Easy, just write quality informative posts or articles for your site. People will link to it if they find value in it, building links for YOU.
Well there are a few ways: #1: Affiliate/refferal. (if possible) #2: Quality content that other sites wants to link to. #3: Have a freelancer design a wordpress/joomla theme and that people can use for free. (With your link in the footer "designed by: ") #4: Have a free link directory with Reciprocal link requrement.
#1 is always to create valuable content because believe it or not, other webmasters WILL create one way links to those pages! #2 publish some free ebooks or short reports (you could just compile some PLR articles into an Adobe .pdf doc) and offer them as downloads on the site. Upload the reports/books to www.scribd.com as they get indexed by google in about 30 minutes, and that creates a viral marketing tool for you and a link from the www.scribd.com directory #3 Every article you post to an article directory is a one way 'forever' link to your site, and some directories have PR 3-6 #4 You can get PR7 links to your site by creating Squidoo pages with some articles and links to your site. Squidoo also pays you to use them, by splitting Google ad and other monetization modules with you. #5 Google Knols are a great way to get traffic and PR link. Just post your article with some links. Good quality informative content is still they key to making all the above work for you to get thousands of 'forever' links with high PR that also attract human organic search traffic to your sites.
Just use Google Search & SEO of Firefox to evaluate prospects. Perform a whois and simply ASK site owners to link to you. Communicating in webmaster forums like DigitalPoint and others is another way - all website owners, right? Just find a clever way to ASK. And if they say no, no big deal. If you're still in the early stages of an off-page SEO campaign, you might consider PPC as a means increase your website exposure. Hopefully you'll at least break even through monetization. Remember, webmasters and bloggers aren't going to link to a site they can't find, no matter how great your content. Many online start-ups will use PPC heavily early on and as their link popularity naturally increases and organic rankings go up, they scale back on the PPC. Also, look for websites and bloggers who like doing reviews and posting web resources. The mega-blog Mashable.com posts tons of reviews.
There's one simple technique I've used to obtain very high rankings in competitive niches. You simply harvest a large number of forums from Google that are relevant to your niche and then make informative, quality posts on these forums with a signature backlink.
