What link building strategies have you found to produce the best results? I have to say that many of the most hyped systems I've tried were duds. Posting original articles with one or two links at hubpages.com has produced nice results for me.
I have a small SEO biz in which I have a client and perform SEO for his sites. I use a large variety of strategies for backlinks, and I try to use everything I can in order to get backlinks going to his sites. I mix them up and get a large variety because I want the Big G to see backlinks coming from all over and not just one source. Yes, Hubpages is very good, we get a high PR with them, and they are easy to use. Easier than Squidoo who after some inactivity will take your lens off the active list (or whatever they call it). My strategy goes something like this: --write an article and post it to one or two good directories --spin the article so that it is spun like 100+% --create 30 or so articles and post them to article directories and my own linkwheel --videos --squidoo lenses and hubpages --create other 2.0 sites -- forum marketing (very time consuming) -- blog commenting ... you get the idea, I keep going with this and when I learn something new I stick it in the lineup. I don't stick with just one method. I like variety.
Link building of mine is simple. 5 blog commenting a days, exchange link with at least 5 relevant site a weeks. Improve your post, build more quality post. That's it
Writing original content on my own sites has earned incoming links from reputable sites without asking to link to me, including .edu sites. Have found the same thing. Bunch of hype and work that isn't producing paying customers, incoming links or valuable comments (on blogs). There's too much "noise" on the hyped sites. Being helpful and participating on old fashioned mailinglists (groups) seems to work better.
It’s difficult to tell for one process there are contribution all things so you can have good ranking in your site. I thinks content is really important to do anything in link building
Articles and Press Releases are probably one of the best 2 link building strategies out there... Google keeps talking about content content content...What better way to produce quality content and to show them your site is an authority in that niche by distributing content with articles and press releases? Holler!
I would say that everything works if you do it right and without spamming. I concentrate on few methods one week, then slowly changing the methods, so the site gets as many types of marketing as possible. Off course...these days content is the most important thing...i personally don't submit my articles to loads of directories, up to 10, no more..
Right, i always use a mix of links from lots of different source and yah, my most competitive kw always rank pretty high as well
I dont believe that you should plan for link building its better to have quality or authority back links whatever you get specially those to whom Google crawl early.
I haven't done link exchange as much as I need to. Posting on forums has driven a little bit of traffic, but my website is still too new to tell what has worked yet
you look professional please check my site and backlinks stuff.. do you want to suggest me anything ?
Good questions i have a lot of good results with this exact linkbuilding strategy : a lots of social backlinks, + high authority forums profiles ( pr 4-9 on root), a lot of .edu and .gov links + some pr 4-6 on page anchor links.
