Looking for tips for Jobs/Careers related websites

Hello all.

I'm going to be working on a number of job and career related websites, some are "job boards" while others are more job and career "advice" and article related.

I have a few ideas on how to build links to the websites, such as article submissions and using social bookmarking tools, but I think I need some more ideas?

The market is pretty competitive and I need some really good methods!

Any ideas will be appreciated!

 

i think you must also use
* blog posts
* directory submissions

 

Here you go. Take a look at http://www.ukonewaylinks.co.uk/linking_methods.html

 

I am actually trying to start a career buliding site too, but the field is really competitive.

Maybe you can start one for your country ? It will definitely narrow down the competition.

http://www.careerramblings.com/ is one that you can get some ideas from. The growth of the site has been pretty amazing.

 

Find a Job is my site in this niche.

I haven't spent a lot of time and effort on it, but I intend to in the future.

PM me for link trades.

 

Thanks guys
I've submitted to a few more directories and will begin working on article submissions and then using social bookmarking.

Will Spencer > A link exchange sounds interesting, what are you offering?

 

Write 'linkbait', blog content that naturally atracts links due to the topic/way it was written.

Comment on blog posts related to work, carreer, etc
Offer free exchange of backlinks in your new articles.
Get listed in 40-80 good directories

PM, maybe we can help each other

 

Just the usual. I'll link to you if you'll link to me.

I don't like links from links pages. I like to give, and receive, links on content pages.

 

Do:
directory submission
article marketing
press release
blog commneting
forums suggestion
link exchange

 

That's true that Job Boards are having too much competition. Its really hard to compete with guys like careerbuilder, nationjobs and dice. But its good if you can just target the industry niche. Like my site: Marketing Jobs
