Link Building - How Long Before You Start Seeing Good Results

    I have started my first Amazon review site and have been trying my hand at backlinking. So far (about six weeks) I have been doing blog commenting about once a week to 4 or 5 sites, I have submitted an article to Ezine Articles, I have been using Socialadr and Imautomator for bookmarking as well.

    I have pinged all my pages and post, and used the rapid indexer over at Pingfarm.com, plus I made a video and put on youtube. I guess I"ll do more article marketing as well, but after six weeks I am still hardly getting any traffic or clicks to Amazon, and certainly no sales. I'm okay with the no sales because the site is new. I just need to know that if I keep working this linking that it's going to pay off.

    I would be thankful for any suggestions from people who know what they are talking about!

    Thanks

    You are focusing your efforts on the wrong things. I'm just about done writing a SEO ebook for wordpress sites, but a lot of the information is relevant to other sites. If you can offer a honest testimonial I'd gladly send you a review copy once its completed.

    I would love that and because I write for a living, I think I can do justice for a good review for you if the information is good! Thanks for the offer. Just pm me when you are ready. It's very frustrating to work and work and work and feel like others are just passing you by.

    Ok great well that gives me a good kick up the bum to want to finish it. I am sure if you put the information into action on your sites you will see better results.

    The answer is "as long as it takes". If you do proper link building you will see results.

    it does take a while to kick in hun, you might want to start thinking about one way links - adding your site to other relevant sites - so you say you write articles, I would approach one by one the people/ websites in your niche (similar sites that are selling products like yours) and then ask them if they would want you to write them an article - but it musthave a link included to your site... this is technically what article marketing is - although you are using sites like ezine - the power of ezine is diluated over all the links that go out from here - the idea is that actual webmasters pick up your artilce and then put it on their site - hence the power of article marketing - thing is - depending on your niche, not many will include your article and if they do they will strip out your links...

    we price campaigns over 7 months - but past agencies ive worked for go for 12-18 month contracts - it takes ages but the ROI you can get in the end is immense.

    get over to the links sales arena in the DP - be careful you dont buy rubbish and dont pay too much for links, but unless you are going to cram in 5 years worth of reading about seo and link building - it might be best to get your wallet out and pay a company to do it for you - watch what they do and replicate it over your other websites...

    Thanks for the good advice. I will try to get some guest posting done and purchase some links as well.

    Your link building effort is good, but sorry to say that it's old fashioned. These links won't help you with SERP and thus traffic. These links are good for diversifying your link building campaign and give it a more natural and organic look. But if you really want good traffic through high ranking for your website, then I would suggest you buying high PR links for your website for the keywords you are targeting. Just a few good high PR links can give you results in two months time.

    Thanks, I"ll admit I figured buying links would produce bad results. But I will try it for sure. I spent money buying traffic hits one time and that was a big joke!

    Link building really takes time and usually the results take effect for a couple of weeks or even months. Just be patient and it will give positive results.

    Personally I think a good SEO campaign will take any time between 6-12 months (working at it every week). Obviously it depends on the competition though.

    It can take up to one year to rank on the first page on the big G for a keyword. It depends on the competition though.

    No need to purchase links, as Google often finds out. Just use your brain and you can locate some high PR blog or forum posts to drop a link on.
