Link building is one
of the most important parts of any good SEO plan.
1.Web directories
This is one of the
oldest and most popular ways of link building.There are
hundreds of web directories out there. A simple search for web directories on
Google will give you a massive numbers of directories to submit your links to.
There are two kinds of directories, free and paid ones.
2.Article Directories
A simple yet effective
method for link building. Write and submit as many articles as you can to as
many article directories as you can. This takes a lot of time and effort, but
its well worth it. A link back from such a site can greatly increase your
ranking and help you in SEO. If you don’t have time to write unique articles to
submit, go ahead and use the same articles from your own blog.
3.Link bait Content
Link-bait refers to content that readers find so compelling that
they go to any length to link to it and share it with other people. Its by far
the easiest way to get thousands of quality backlinks that will grow on their
own without you doing any work.
4.Citation-Based
licensing agreement content
Its the link in the bottom
of the theme that upon downloading it you agree to keep intact. Now imagine how
many other people in the world might download that same theme, and you can
begin to see the huge amounts of backlinks that could be created by that one
theme.
This
method is very powerful, as it has the potential to keep building links for you
for years and years to come. You can do the same with articles, e-books,
software, website templates, photos, videos, graphics and etc. To ensure that
people leave your link intact, you can use Creative
Commons Attribution system to license your product. It will make it illegal for
other people to use your product without leaving your link intact.
5.Online Forums
Almost all online
forums allow members to place links in their profile and also as
signatures which will be shown alongside every thread you start or reply to.
Although a link is a link, try to use forums related to your niche, as search
engines tend to put more weight on links from relevant high authority sites.
6.Guest Posting
By guest
posting on other related blogs and websites not only do you build
links to your own site, your blog might also enjoy an increase in traffic,
especially if the site you
guest post on receives a great amount of traffic itself.
7.Commenting on blogs
While it’s been said
that links from comment sections of phoenix
don’t carry much weight with the search engines, none-the-less they can effect
both your SEO and traffic. So, it is not a bad idea to build links by making
relevant and genuine comments on related blogs whenever you can.
8.RSS-Submission
There are many RSS
directories out there that you can submit your links to. When it comes to
links, usually quality matters more than quantity, meaning a link from a high
authority site matters more than 20 links from other lower ranking sites. But,
since it takes only a few seconds to submit your links to hundreds of RSS
directories using an RSS aggregator, it is ok to
sacrifice quality for quantity.
9.Social Bookmarking
While link building
with social bookmarking sites is almost
like RSS directories, there are a few powerful social bookmarking sites that
search engines tend to put a lot of weight on. Take Digg as an example, there
are many stories where a link back from digg has moved a blogger’s blog from
few pages down the search results to the first page of Google for the related
keyword it was bookmarked for. There are many social bookmarking sites out
there that submitting a link to each one would probably take you a whole day,
thankfully, there are many good social bookmarker tools and plug-ins out there
that will automate the process for you. Although, I would suggest to bookmark
your links manually to at least the few top social bookmarking sites such as
Dig and Stumble upon.
