I understand link building is an important part of any start-up website. I have no interest in thousand of links from link-farm, my only interest is building genuine link from reputable website. I understand there are many scams on the web providing link building services and I am trying to stay away. My only concern is looking for reputable company that provide this genuine service with decent amount of budget. If you know of any or had actually hired some of them with good results, please feel free to advise. Thank you.
I do not have information about those kind of companies those who provide genuine links but one thing i can tell you is that through guest posting in some good and reputable site you will be able to make some good backlinks. This is very fruitful. You will be able to take the advantage of those links for a long time. I know one place named "My Blog Guest" where you will be able to exchange your guest posts. Let me know if it helps.
Thanks for the tips Himadri, I have actually tried posting and commenting on different websites but my link building have not taken off. My alexa ranking is still around 5 million and have not risen to the top, my traffic has not increased much. My site is 2 years old and I am still working patiently on link building to increase traffic to my site. Any other ideas or suggestions to help increase my site ranking and traffic.
From my own experience what i can tell you is, you must need to put a lot of content in your website and you need to put content regularly. You need to concentrate on SEO, so that you get some organic traffic. Share your contents in social media often. Also integrate the social media plugins in your website so that people can get those easily and can share your content. These days social media is very important and social signals are also important. If it is not possible for your gather all the contents then ask for guest posts in different forum. Ask other bloggers for link exchange. Make a brand in social media. If you need some other help then you are free to ask more question.
Thanks for the tips I will continue to work patiently on building links and social media branding as you mentioned.
My Advice for you would be to stay away from seo service companies . Organic backlinks will be made if you keep on posting good content and your site is well optimized meanwhile you can participate in forums and other blogs with do follow comments. But remember NEVE EVER SPAM . You can use dofollow sites like identi.ca for quality backlinks and other .org and .edu sites . Try to stick only to site with page rank higher tha 4 or 5 . i short just stay away from all the link building services . Do IT Your Self that is the best way.
