Hey everyone,Just started doing some link building a month ago. It has gotten very overwhelming because everyone has so many ideas.Here's what I'm doing:1.Targeted Directories2.Targeted Blog Commentingwhat are some other effective ways to get my links in the right places?
Web 2.0 sites, contextual links in blog posts, social bookmarking, article submissions, link exchanges, forum posting, the list goes on & on, but those are some highlights.
PPCoach covered the basics. Be careful if you consider outsourcing link building as many people will use tools and methods that are of low value. I outsourced blog commenting a few times and got irrelevant links that lead to my sites receiving traffic that didn't convert from other countries. From my experience Web 2.0 properties and article submissions have produced the only sustainable traffic increases. Social bookmarking tends to be short lived.
so here's my advise 1. stop reading or downloading ebook 2. stop listening to what "gurus" tell u 3. believe and just do what u think works
you are going in right way...i advice dont even try to spam on article/ web directory website , just do some genuine thing.
It seems everyone has an opinion on back links. You have to have a back link strategy especially with "new" websites. There are value in pretty much most back links and a reason for each. 1) Links from articles...These links can be mostly used for "relevant" traffic and in hopes that the article content is good enough for webmasters and content snatchers to put on their websites with your back links intact. As for link juice there is not much because most article directories use "nofollow" 2) Targeted Blog Comments....These in my opinion are one of the top two choices for "link juice" giving your website "ranking". The reason is comments with your back links can be placed on "high PR" pages that are "dofollow" and can pass a portion of that "high rankings" page's rank juice back to you. Remember the page ranking will be divided up by the amount of comments leaving that page...(example: a page with no PR has a page weight of 0 and a page with a PR of 3 would have a page weight of 125, but would be divided by the number of out going links from that page....10 comments would bring the link juice to 12.5 to each link) still that is better than 0 divided by 10. These links are not for traffic but for increasing your google page position. 3) Spam comments: Can be good for increasing your page value like the above if performed correctly. If you just "blast" the internet with your un relevant comment backlinks chances are that they will end up being one of 2000 comments on a website with "auto approve". This is how search engines can tell erroneous spam links. There is software that SEO professionals can use that find 'quality" relevant sites with low exiting links to place a comment "mechanically". Then the link juice can be passed along. 4) Forum signature links....These can be good for traffic but like article links have very little value..... 5) Whois links.....These links are good for getting pages indexed quickly. What happens is an actual page is usually made about your website on the "whois" website with a link going back to your site. the "whois" sites are crawled often and by being so the search engine bots find your site/page to be indexed. The link values are not much, but I have got clients to the first page of google by just these back links alone. 6) Guest Blogging...This is the second "best" back link in my opinion. If you post a "guest" article on a authority site that has a high PR and little or no out bound links (except your signature link) you get the benefit of the traffic viewing the article and you can pass along most if not all of that pages link juice! example a article with your link on a PR5 page with no other links leaving that page could have a weight of 3,125! that could really help in boosting your site on google. All most all links and traffic are good. Even none relevant traffic mike reynolds arnold55
