Quality not Quantity Backlinks how to get them Honestly

    The big rage for quite some time has been "Backlinks Backlinks Backlinks" I have been roped into purchasing backlinking services, and even purchasing backlinks from webmasters.

    Matt Cutts recently said that google does not like backlinks that are "Self Made" basically in this report it said that Backlinks that you can create yourself make no differece to ggole and in some case's can hurt your serp rankings.

    This is the post penguin, panda era now. What are you thoughts on Backlinks? Backlink building services? and Purchasing backlinks?

    Backlinks still the biggest factor in the algorithm even post penguin. It's all about Link anchor diversity and trusted links now. Best way to get links is to own your own private network or know someone who does.

    One train of thought that I have seen is people enticing sharing on social media.

    In my opinion, social media integration and social media backlinks will be a huge variable of consideration in the future.

    The way I see it.. Google wants to provide "real time" results on content that is hot.

    How can they best accomplish that?

    By weighing content and shared content on social media channels quite heavily.

    This is the future of more "real time" social rankings.

    Just my $.02.

    So, my advice?

    Focus more on creating awesome content that people love, need, and share.

    :]

    IMO Google still loves natural links on relevant high PR webpages most of all.

    However, link diversity also plays a role so you should use the Majestic SEO tool to ensure your main keywords never make up more than 15-20% of your overall link profile. If 100% of your links are for the keyword you are chasing then it will definitely get penalised, and probably quiet quickly.

    Manual link building is always better under current climate of Google's stricter algorithm.

    What you can try is create fresh and useful stuff on regular basis so that readers love to share your website links in their network. This kind of backlinks looks more natural and can help in increasing the traffic to your site as well.

    Creating good backlinks that will point to your site is a lot of work. Like I said in some other thread, posting them on all kinds of crappy blogs will get your penalized. I used to do all that hard work to the point my back was hurting non stop. But the results were miserable. Lesson learned. All I do now is I pay AdWords and AdCenter to do the advertising job. I just kick back and chill. :)

    I don't practice link building any more. If they come - ok, if not I (my sites) can "live" with it! My new sites are doing fine just taking care for good old on-page optimization and a bit of social media promotion (just a bit). Getting the spots I want often with less then 10 "natural" links against the competition with thousands :)

    I tried doing the adwords and it was so expensive I couldn't make a profit. Sure it will generate lets say 13000 impressions and 300 clicks at 1.10 a click you spent $330 but if only 10% or 30 people make a purchase at a average ticket of $14 revenue is $420 so you gross $90. Of that $90 depending on what you sell, only 20-30% of that is profit. So to some it up you made google $330 profit and you made yourself $30 :(

    If you want to follow google guidelines or Matt Cutts saying, then you are not supposed to create back links but great content.

    If your content is too good then you won't need much promotion and you will get lots back links naturally. However, If you content is not so much attractive then do what others are doing to promote blog like all seo techniques.

    I think the consensus has been (by reading other people's posts) that backlinks don't work anymore as they used to. Whether you get them honestly or through hard work, they can be a waste of time.

    Backlinks are still highly effective. "The devil is in the details" applies here though. I have tested a wide variety of linking methods. Obviously, high PR links are the best, but you can also use high quantities of links to rank very quickly as long as you take some precautions:
    1. Links need to come from a variety of platforms. All Web 2.0, or all article links, or all wikis is bad. Instead, use a mix of: articles, social networks, bookmarks, web 2.0, wiki, etc.
    2. Links need to be both DOfollow and NOfollow. Having only dofollow links looks suspicious and unnatural. Also, although nofollow does not actually pass pagerank, it DOES help with your actual SERP listing.
    3. DON'T spam the same keyword over and over. You can check your anchor text diversity with majesticseo.com. Some people say you can have 1 keyword as high as 30% of your links, but I'm not comfortable with it that high and would try to keep it under 20%. Be sure to mix in some generic keywords like: "click here, visit site" and other generic terms, as well as your raw URL (www.yourwebsite.com). People who are not SEOs use the URL and generic things like "click here" when linking, so it looks more natural this way.
    4. DON'T blast 1,000s of links to your website all at once, especially a brand new website. Sites DO go viral and generate 1,000s of links naturally, but it is very risky to do things this way. If you wanted to test the "viral" method, make sure to hit your site with tons of social shares, since this is usually how a natural viral spread occurs.
    There are lots of other details and I'm sure many on here have a variety of opinions, but this is what has worked for me.

    Also, one of the things I have started looking into recently is press releases. They are a pain to get right, but a well written press release published on an authority site can do some amazing things for your ranking and traffic very quickly.

    Feel free to comment, question or disagree :)
    Cheers

    Still e-mail outreach and contacting webmasters are fine ways to get backlinks.
    However, the main thing to keep in mind after the penguin is relevancy of sites linking to yours. These should't necessarily be sites from the same niche (although it is preferable), but adjacent niches will do as well.
    And if links are built manually and each linking opportunity is carefully evaluated beforehand - then there's nothing wrong with backlinks at all.
    Another thing to watch out is the diversity of a backlink profile, as it has been previously mentioned. Backlinks should come from different sources, with different PR, dofollow and nofollow etc.
    Also, social media provides absolutely safe backlink opportunities, plis links from social media together with Google+ authorship markup improve online visibility to some extent.
