    Here is my current Link Building strategy - I wanna see if you guys like it:

    1) I have 20 Web 2.0 properties linked to my landing page.

    2) I have a few articles pointing to my landing page (EZA and GoArticles - trying to get ArticleCity to approve now)

    3) I have sig links from 10 different forums pointing towards my landing page.

    4) I have roughly 10 different sig links on blogs as well pointing towards the landing page.

    5) I Social BM all of my Web 2.0 Properties just once (one Web 2.0 prop per SBM site).

    6) I Social BM my landing page with around 15 SBM sites as well as Social BM my index page.

    7) I will be looking for just two or three niche directories that I will submit (this is in the future).

    8) I have two sites that I will be swapping links with - and the link back from these sites will be pointing to my landing page (they will be allowing me to put a NF on their link :) )

    9) Also - I will Social BM my articles on EZA and GoArticles.

    One of my questions is - am I overdoing it w/ pointing to much web 2.0 props to my landing page? Remember, this isn't a link wheel.

    Any improvements you can suggest that has worked for you in the past?

    Long term you can only do so much on your own.

    You must create content that people will want to link to on their own. If you have a great landing page and you bookmark it on the top social sites people will link to it on their own.

    So use Google Analytics to see if people are in fact doing this. If not then you need to work on rewriting your offer until they do or consider PPC.

    Ultimately just doing your own links can leave a Footprint that can hurt you if that is all you have.

    I'd say that's a good start.

    But you're going to need to build on that.

    Continue to create new content, social book mark it, and submit to to article directories. At least once every couple of days .

    Continue to post meaningful comments with links to your site on very related blogposts. I try to find 5 per day, every day.

    Continue to post in forums with a link in your post. I try to post at least 5 per day, on 5 different forums. Every day.

    Remember, this is just the beginning. Earmark a chunk of time (half an hour to an hour) that you can work on marketing each day for at least 6 months, if not forever.
