What are the new ways of Link Building which will get quality links?
-
Hi
We are doing following kinds of Link Building:
1. Article marketing
2. Directory Submission
3. Guest Blogging
4. Press Release submission
5. Infographics (Viral Marketing)
I know blog commenting and links from discussion forums are considered as greyhat / blackhat by google.
So I want suggestions on some other ethical(Whitehat SEO) ways of Link Building to get quality Links.
Also suggest me some Free article submission sites which give " dofollow-links"
Thank You

What you're doing is great if you have the content to back it up, especially if you're in a niche market. Make sure your infographics are of the highest quality possible. There are so many infographics out there that you really need to make yours stand out to have it picked up.
You should also be doing some link baiting for all of these articles and press releases you're doing. Writing a random article or press release just to get you a link can only help you so much. If the article or press release is getting tons of views and comments from different IP addresses, you'll find yourself in a good spot.

AWCthreads makes a huge point. The best SEO resource I have found the customer, or page viewer. If they are truly helped by the content you offer they will eventually do the best link building you can hope for. Generalzod also brings up a good point, if you have great content that is just sitting there because nobody can find it.. then what good is it really doing?
If you don''t have good regular traffic that may stumble upon the new fresh content then you'll have to go where your demographic is.
I will give an example: About 4 years ago I was working in the gaming industry as a software seller . A new game was coming out, I talked with my distributor, and got in on Beta testing. From there I joined the game's official forums. I soon found most people were using a fansite to talk about the game, so I joined the fansite. I played the game sporadically enough to engage in general conversation. Eventually, after being a somewhat established member (about 2 weeks of posting) I decided to let the people know I worked for a company that would be selling the software and could get anybody who wanted it a discount. That caught the attention of the owner of the fansite who in turn posted my sites banner on his page for free. That little work turned into 100's of sales and tons of links on all sorts of similar type forums and blogs.

Digg is a great medium. I would also suggest writing a great piece of content, and using that as an ice breaker for requesting guest posts.
Like:
Look what I can do! Let me do it for your site!
-
I'm with you on that! Great content and well presented content will give you links.
In fact it is as simple as that, as long as you have the best content, product, presentation or navigation. Look at your competition and make sure that your site, content, product is 10% better than theirs.
-
Chicken and egg. Writing great content is a good idea...but if nobody can find it, nobody will link to it?
I'd expand on the above idea and suggest writing a great article then perhaps push it out through Digg so that people will see it and likely talk about/links to it. Works for me anyway.
Good luck!

How about creating some content that is unique, informative, relevant, timely and worthy of linking to.

Best Methods - Link Building
We are having more and more "new" customers coming to us who have been hit by various algorithms imposed by google. After we have run a site health check and corrected everything, we plan and come up with a link development plan which suits the clients needs. Much of out link development work is safe comprising of; 1. Guest Blog Posts - where we develop creative content with the customer to publish. 2. Industry blog posts - where bloggers write about i.e. "the company" 3. Social media - posting pictures, commenting on forums, etc 4. Paid directories with authority We don't develop links in any other way and it brings results in the long term. Is anyone out there doing something else? Link building can sometimes be like walking on a tight rope. Thanks and happy holidays Gary - Elite Group Marketing London

Is it time to pay for link building?
I've been using the Moz tools for a while now and love them. Our SEO efforts are certainly paying off as we're ranking well for a lot of our desired keywords. That being said, I'm finding link building to be a very frustrating process. As much as I like to be hands on and try to do everything, I'm wondering when it's time to "throw in the towel" and hire someone? Is there anyone else who might have gone through a similar evolution? I'd love to hear some other stories about how or why you decided to hire out your link building. I'd like to think that whatever we spend on link building could likely reduce our reliance on AdWords, although I'm not sure how this would really play out over time.

New website, small business, niche market --- what's my best link building strategy?
Hi everyone, We are a small company manufacturing a niche product (indoor playground equipment), our new English website (www.funlandiaplaygrounds.com) has just been launched 2 months ago, before that we didn't even have a website in English. As the international sales manager of such a small company, I have to do all the international marketing jobs including SEO, but before this I'm almost a noob on SEO. I've just started the linking building work for our website, after a research on the links of our highest ranked competitors, I have found out that almost ALL of the external links of them come from directories and purchased links, many links are very dubious, please see the open explorer results below: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=www.spiplay.co.uk&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=&target=page&group=1 http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.softplay.com%2F http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links.html?page=1&site=www.china-cheer.com&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=&target=page&group=1 http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aileplay.com%2F http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=internationalplayco.com%2F The search keywords is: indoor playground equipment. According to the latest SEO theory and numerous posts I've read here, links from these directories carry very low value, and solely relying on these links may even cause penalty to the website, but the reality is, all these competitors rank on the top as a result of these "spammy" links. For example this website www.aileplay.com that has the highest PA of 64 and rank on the first page on the search result of indoor playground equipment, has tons of spammy links. That is the situation we are facing now, then my questions is: As a small business in such a niche market, what is our best strategy to rank well in a reasonable time, say 3 months to 6 months? I do not think our competitors are very strong and hard to beat, I believe we will beat them in content creation for sure, but what should we do in link building? should we start to get directory links now, as it obviously works for them? Or should we first create more attractive content, then use these content to get natural links BEFORE we submit for directory, as recommended by most link experts here? If so should we just sit back doing nothing before the link worthy content is created and natural links starts to come in? I highly appreciate any comments! DSG_clan
