    Hey all

    Im a newbie still learning the ropes.

    There are alot of professionals here so I thought id ask the question.

    Do you instantly start seeking blogs to guest post on? If so what do you do if your client doesnt have a blog? I understand it used to be easy to get links via blog posts but not so easy now

    Do you submit to online directories

    Do you seek forums to post links in your siggy (if this is the case then do you stay active in the forum?


    Im just looking for some helpful tips

    Thank you :)

    In this forum there are many tips that you can find helpful. The secret is diversity. Try getting links from different kind of sources, not just one.

    I think you should exchange links or create your signature on each post at any forum that you participate

    The link building process will depend on the niche of your site. However, you can consider the following tips.

    1 - Research - Research your competitors. You can find many online tools that will tell you the keywords that your competitors are using.

    2 - Onsite SEO - Before you begin building backlinks, make sure you have good onsite SEO. Don't over-optimize. SEOmoz is a great tool for checking onsite SEO.

    3 - Quality Content - This goes along with #2, but make sure you have quality content that others will want to link to. With quality content, building backlinks will be much easier.

    4 - Building Backlinks - Don't just add links anywhere. Ensure they are on relevant sites to your own. Don't over use keywords or keyword phrases. It is important to use diversity, as another poster already mentioned. Use forums, comment sections, social media, directories, etc to build your backlinks. Depending on the niche of your site, you will probably find one or more of those options more helpful than the others.

    Don't use automated backlink software. If you decide to hire a service to build backlinks for you, find one that builds all the backlinks by hand, such as LinkFool. With the Google updates this year, Google can tell if the backlinks are natural. Automated backlink software does a very poor job on making backlinks appear natural. This is way building your backlinks by hand and on relevant sites is important. Automated software may build 1,000 backlinks in week or month, but they will offer no value and might get you penalized by Google.

    You can search Digital Point for backlink questions. There are a lot of very wise posters here and you get a lot of great ideas from reading the past forum posts on this topic.

    Best of luck to you!

    Search in google for relevant links and then send the request for link exchange. New website this is the best way to do link building.

    link exchanges dont really help you though.. reciprocal links are frowned upon by Google.

    The link strategy should be in place before you purchased the domain; this is normally in the form of plain text files set out like this.

    Forums – a list of your target forums with a list of the highest value URLS on the forum

    Blogs – a list of the target blogs

    Community – This should be done well in advance of the buying the domain name, basically build up a network of followers.

    The list goes on and on I normally spend about 30 days collecting all my target URLS, then I spend a few hours each day actually submitting my work.

    If you're a newbie I suggest hitting a few forums. If you know anything about proxies or essentially if you can read, I'd try ScrapeBox too.

    if you are looking for high quality link, it is always difficult.

    Directory is one of the easy way to gain backlink but i doubt that the effectiveness because hardly get quality directory nowadays. Those good directory like Dmoz is inactive

    Yes, forum signature link is one of the best place for you to explore your site. The main reason to use forum signature is to gain natural backlink indirectly after make some quality thread/posts. If you are looking for the result, you need to make quality post and keep active if possible

    Please do not go the scrapebox path. All automated tools do comment spamming and it reduces the value of the internet. Also, for all the scrapebox users out there, there is a new type of proxy that high-jacks seo requests. search for 'wereproxy'

    actually, we need to build natural links so we should use almost all the methods of link building and we should build links slowly..

    use nofollow too.

    There is nothing wrong with Scrapebox it’s how people choose to use it what’s the problem, people get tempted by the bottom right module “auto poster” I have to agree is bad news but Scrapebox can do wonderful things such as speeding up the process of your white hat SEO techniques. If Scrapebox removed the auto posting feature and re-branded as new software I think they would be a part of most SEOs daily SEO tools.

    Link Building Process will surely help to increase the backlink and PR of your site. The major link building strategy that I use are blog commenting, social bookmarking, forum posting, article marketing, social networking and guest posting.
