what is the Quality link building strategy..... only directory, article, bookmarking, forum, pr ,submission is not enough for increasing serp.... Please share your knowledge if you are doing well ...i mean if you know any other site where i can put my link.
Quality Link Building needs Variety...Variety is that you are getting Backlinks from all possible and white hat resources like Social Bookmarking, Forum Profiles, Article Submission etc. Always Prefer to gain backlinks from sites that have atleast a PR 4 and are dofollow. Thats what i have experience so far.
they would be enough if done right. article marketing is a great way of getting quality backlinks as well as some traffic. you can also setup as many web 2.0 pages as p[ossible that will give you quality contextual relevant backlinks as well. you can read the article i posted on link building methods
Keywords = "if done right". I do everything the OP mentioned above and I am right where I need to be on the SERPs for my keywords. You definitely need to have patience though. This kind of stuff doesn't happen overnight so don't be discouraged if nothing is happening right away. Ask questions here and on other forums, like you're doing, and a lot of us will help.
I use all of the methods you stated above for my sites and my clients. There are also a few other methods that work well: 1. do follow blog commenting 2. guest blogging 3. blog carnivals 4. blog reviews 5. viral blog memes 6. blog contests 7. rss feed directories 8. website directories Hope this helps!
Building links is essential to have an on-going healthy organic campaign! One should use different source to acquire links from (everything that is mentioned above will suffice), please do keep in mind that quality will always outweigh quantity, thus always try to build links from credible sources and preferable with an active PR. See you on the first page!
That's great if you can get your backlinks from a variety of sites - but make sure you don't forget the on-page optimization.
As mentioned by others, variety is probably important. However, I personally ONLY use article marketing to build backlinks (Ezine Articles and Unique Article Wizard) and I get pretty good results.
1) The search engine robots will follow the first link they find to any specific page. Do not link first with image and try to first link with text. 2) Article exchanges are same as link exchanges and very useful. You have to publish someone’s article on the history of pudding pops with a link back to their site. They publish your article on the top ten pudding pop flavors with a link back to your site and you both have content as well as high quality links. 3) Submit articles in top directories to be reprinted on other websites as well as general public. It is a most effective way for one way links. First you have to write a unique and informative article on topic in your area of expertise. At the end of the article add a links to your site and email address. 4) Write testimonials and review about a its product or services and submitting to your vendor or service provider. This can give you a very high quality link back for your site. 5) Do more use of graphics and pictures. Websites containing big graphics tend to take a longer time to download, which will most likely discourage a busy browser. The website content has to be unique, and rich in content. It should be regularly updated. 6) Use PDF document created by adobe acrobat. For link building, you have to write articles 400-500 words that will be informative for people and interesting. You have to convert each page of articles with links your site in to PDF and upload it to free download sites. Freeloaders would pick up on the document. They'd enjoy it and post it on their sites. More people would download it. Half of them will stick it into their webs. You'd have thousands of sites hosting your PDF that links back to your web. This is excellent for link building.
variety is huge... use different strategies including social bookmarking, and article marketing, video marketing, forum posting with signature, etc... those kind of things.
A very good point made by Eadler25 is that the search engine robots will follow the first link they find to any specific page. I see so many blog, Squidoo, Hub posts that contain multiple links to the same domain using different anchor text. There is no purpose to it as Google will only count one link and it might be possible that its value is not worth much since it's obvious that the article's purpose is to promote a specific URL/Domain.

This is what I'd do: 1) Make sure my site is XML and W3C compliant. 2) Make sure my site has optimized sitemap.xml and robots.txt. 3) Make sure I take advantage of Google's liking to media-rich sites by slapping a video panel on my site and uploading a 5-minute video. 4) Make sure all my pages have optimized meta info (title / description / keywords). 5) Make sure all my pages have autoping code when new content page or comment on old content page is added. Then, I'd: 1) Place my niche keyword in WordTracker and get keyword ideas. 2) Place WordTracker keywords in Google's Keyword Tool to get global monthly searches. 3) Get top 20 keywords with highest global monthly searches and are most relevant to my niche. 4) List down top 20 keywords in spreadsheet. 5) Place these column headers in spreadsheet: keyword / global monthly searches / page PR of competing page 1 result after Googling without quotes / PR of domain where competing page 1 result is found / PR of competing page 2 result after Googling without quotes / PR of domain where competing page 2 result is found / ...and so on until PR of competing page 10 result and PR of domain where competing page 10 result is found after Googling without quotes... / PR of competing page 1 result after Googling with quotes / PR of domain where competing page 1 result is found / ...and so on until PR of competing page 10 result and PR of domain where competing page 10 result is found after Googling with quotes / number of competing pages after Googling with quotes. 6) Fill out spreadsheet with updated information. 7) Consider these factors in order of importance when arranging keywords based on importance: global monthly searches / PR of competing pages after Googling without quotes must be 3 and below / PR of domains of competing pages after Googling without quotes must be 8 and below / PR of competing pages after Googling with quotes must be 3 and below / PR of domains where competing pages are found after Googling with quotes must be 6 and below / number of competing pages after Googling with quotes must be less than 350K. 8) After properly rearranging keywords in order of importance based on factors mentioned above, take first 10 keywords as main keywords. 9) Take next 10 keywords as related keywords. 10) Pair up main keyword-related keyword to get 10 main keyword-related keyword pairs. 11) Write an 800-1200++-word article per keyword pair. Make sure to integrate proper keyword placement methods and writing style/approach --- I have mentioned this stuff in my previous posts. 12) Publish articles as content pages under my site. Make sure pages have optimized meta info and page filename is article title. 13) Submit articles to top 20 ranking article directories under same author name indicated on my site as author of my content pages. "Top" = dofollow and highest PR. 14) Resource/Bio box content of articles should be optimized for reader action, and main and related keywords must be used as anchors of backlinks pointing to other content pages of my site --- not my domain page and of course not to same content page. 15) social bookmark all content pages. Also, social bookmark and ping all published articles. 16) Do this each week --- 10 content pages and articles submitted to top 20 ranking article directories per week. 17) On other days of the week: post useful relevant content on dofollow PR4-above forums --- make sure I post on relevant and most popular threads under relevant and most popular sections of forums and use main and related keywords as anchors of signature backlinks pointing to my content pages. That's it. Based on results from my experiments, my published articles on PR6 directories become number 1 or 2 on Google's 1st page 12-24 hours after publication and PR4 from PR0 in less than 2 weeks. Content pages under my domains become PR2 from PR0 in less than 2 weeks, too. Domain PR, on the other hand, become PR2 from PR0 in around 2 months. So, my equation inference re: search engine rankings and PR, based on results from my experiments --- I'm continuing to study this --- is: more content pages = more valuable domain more backlinks on external relevant high PR dofollow content pages under relevant high PR dofollow domains = more valuable content pages more valuable content pages = more valuable domain This means: more content pages + more valuable content pages + more valuable domain = higher search engine rankings ...that's it. This however is based on results from my experiments and may not provide you with the same results. Hope this helps.
As per My thought, Quality Link means you can get some or lots amount of traffic on other site or when you place the links.
Quality links=relevant to your niche also try article marketing, forum sig. and anchor text variation.
