I am looking for ways to build links to a garden blog that I am running. I would like suggestions that do not include: Directories Blog Commenting Forum Posting Link Exchanges I already have a firm grasp on the ideas listed above. I would like to hear some other suggestions. The link to my site is in my sig.
article submission press release social bookmarking rss submission web 2.0 links (squidoo, hubpages, etc)
You can try the site in my signature, its a one way link exchange, so you will be building only one way backlinks. I have a few gardening related sites on their with owners who would love to offer you links from their sites.
I hear about social bookmarking all the time and I have book marked my site on delicious, digg and stumble, and the only site that seems to drive any traffic is stumble. As with most reports I have read, the stumble traffic doesnt hang out very long and doesnt really do much for the site! Any other suggestions?
You can also buy some high PR backlinks if you have got money to spend on it ! Otherwise social bookmarking and press release would be good for you ! - Digital -
you can also create authority sites and link your site there. or create dummy account in facebook to better promote your site.
Sites such as Digg and Stumble Upon allow you to create pages within their domain containing links to sites that are shared with peers. A bookmarks page on Digg could become viral and the content could be compelling enough that people link to you from their sites. It is can be very useful both for gaining backlinks and getting direct traffic, which, as has been discussed, stands a good chance of earning more backlinks as people link to you. Definitely worthing trying!
I think link exchange will do some harm, better to stay away of it, Other than that, all are fine, As well as you can get more traffic via article submissions + bookmarkings too
Create a Facebook page about your gardening site.. This is one of the best and cheapest ways to create buzz about your site and BUZZ builds links!
Garden blog... Obvious Garden Websites Town and City links from where the site is Garden item suppliers you work with Home improvement sites Landscaping Companies Tips and Tricks places for gardening and DIY home improvements You best bet is to actually create content worth linking to first. Build the content that merrits the links and then just inform the other webmasters of your resource.
I would suggest you build a link wheel. Create 8 web 2.0 properties and link to each other. You can try to create a wordpress theme and place your link in there. All you need to do is get a free wordpress site and just edit the css file. Just the main color scheme. Get images from stock exchange and place in your header. You might also want to consider submitting pad files. You can get 100s of backlinks if your using a Pad auto submitter software. The last thing I recommend is getting backlinks from setting up profiles on high profile sites. Sites such as deke.com are great to built an authority link.
