hi, can anyone recommend the best method to conduct a link building campaign for a corporate company website without blog? we are familiar with all those techniques such as blog commenting, forum sig, directory submission, social bookmarking, article marketing, press releases, reciprocal linking etc but in my opinion only directory submission, article marketing, social bookmarking & PR are appropriate as the rest looks amateurish. another issue is how you go about doing reciprocal link exchange when you are only permitted to exchange link with someone's site with the same niche/industry as you are? In the business world, no companies will ever mention names of their competitors let alone putting links of their rivals/competitors in their websites right? dedicating a Link/Reference page with the list of links looked amateurish on a corporate website, do you agree? so, how do you linkbuilding gurus here tackle this problem when conduting a linkbuilding campaign for a plain corporate website without blogs? thanks

The advice I've seen on other forums is to look for a related site that's not a direct competitor - eg if you sell used cars, exchange links with a site selling car parts or car insurance. Something that could benefit user and both sites.
jj1 is right you go asking for links not with your direct competitors but the sites which are linking to your competitor one or two level deep..
