In your opinion and experience, what are the most effective link building methods? Please also mention how hard each technique is, and tell everybody how it has helped your website.
Well - it isn't the Link Wheel. Anyway - from personal experience - Article Submssions and {drum roll please} - sig links on high PR Forums. Yep, you heard me. Sig links have actually worked for me. But I also spend a lot of time on online optimization that makes it work for me.
If you haven't tried out article submission - then I highly suggest that you try it out. Article Submissions work really good! My best method is Blog Commenting and Article Submissions.
Article Distribution and Press Releases, I find to be the best... IMO. Social Bookmarking works well too.
article submission, blog commenting are the best according to me. i haven't really tried article submission that much but blog commenting helped a lot recently with my forum getting members.
I'm definitely going to have to say article submission and blog commenting are the best ways to build deep backlinks. Yugo,
In my experience, good old fashion natural inner-content links have helped me the most and have stuck around the longest.
Targeting social media sites can be a great link building method & one that I often use... But links are links as long as they are nofolow free and rated PG I normally pursue them all the same...
I think the most effctive thing for me is blog commenting. If you are commenting on do follow blog having high pr, then it is well result oriented to the site but make sure you are commenting in a proper manner.
In my opinion, the most effective method is a combination of articles, web 2.0 properties, forums, and blogs, to form a huge mega linkwheel. This has proved very effective for building links.
its link wheel, article submission, backlinks from high PR page and bookmark ping 'em all ... multiple by infinity.. lol
You shouldn't use just one or two methods because that would look artificial and make it easy for Google to recognize that you created most of the links yourself and devalue them for that reason. So it's much better to use a variety of different methods.
