Current best link building practise
-
Hi guys,
Just an open discussion. I don't want to be told to use directories or just 'guest blog'.. What is the best method you are currently using? A lot of my competitors are using older techniques for quick wins but we're wary to do that due to the long term consequences...
Thanks

I really like this approach, and I think it is very beneficial. How do you use this approach on a topic that is not that interesting. You may get one or ever ten articles however I feel like this becomes redundant especially if all these article s are on the same site. For example if you had a client that was doing property management or apartment rentals, what would you write about? and how much of this can you create?

The most powerful links currently come from guest blog posts.
Other ones that work well - ppt sharing (slideshare), document share (scribd), videos, press releases, relevant blog comments, local citations
To a lesser extent - web2.0 properties, article submissions
The key is quality, not quantity. Develop strong profiles (completely filled out, multiple entries, high quality content) on top sites instead of spamming thousands of sites. These give you direct traffic and even rank on their own in serps (if you choose the right keywords).
Couple that with high quality, fresh content on your own site and you're golden.

The only method that I use is to write articles and post them on my websites. Lots of people will say that this is a very slow method of getting links and I would agree. However, I spend zero time on any linkbuilding effort and instead put all of my time into building assets for my websites.
This will not work for everyone. For it to work you must be able to create content that people will want to share with their friends. You can help this along by adding social share buttons in an obvious location on your site.
If you do this for a few years your site becomes larger, has more pages pulling traffic and by that time you have a steady flow of traffic. Your site also by then has a lot of momentum and that drives your progress at a much faster rate.

Links from other authoritative sites that are helpful to your users. There are many ways of getting these links: Help them fix page problems and after you help them ask for a link. Offer them some value and then after you give some value to the site owner you can ask for a link in return.

Link building
Hello everyone, I am building links for an e-commerce site and I need to increase the value of the links we get by placing them on specific pages in order to pass more juice to inner pages. Which part of the website should I point the links to? Because there is no content section on the site what I can do is either link to the homepage (not an option) or link to inner pages such as category/subcategory/product pages. My doubt is that it wouldn't look natural to link to products pages from a piece of content or from a site where people go with the intention not to buy but to get information. Any opinions on this?

Hello all ! I would love some opinions about one Link Building technical aspect from SEOs, link builders ... How important is the number of outgoing links on the page you have the opportunity to place a link ? (from a scale of 1-10 / what about where dose this factor fits overall with your check list , as important to consider as far as link building) Would you place a link on a page with 200+ outgoing external links if the page is ok (not involved in selling links, all links are related with the subject, target page, anchor text etc) or you would go with a link on a 10-15 links per page but not that 'powerful' and not that related (not spammy but more general on the subject that can contain links to some other non related resources). Eg: Option 1: www.whatever-name.com/links.html the entire domain is about x. It has 250 links in that page (in the links.html) all links on the links.html pages are somehow related / resources with x. Your link can be placed with an anchor text related with x that will target a page on your site related with x. Domain page rank : 6 (as a general indicator), Page PR, the links.html one, PR: 2 Option 2: www.some-other-name.com/x-is-so-great the entire domain is NOT about x, just the page. It has 5..10 links in that page (external links more or less related with x - but not spammy) Your link can be placed with an anchor text related with x that will target a page on your site related with x. Domain page rank : 3 (as a general indicator), Page PR, the links.html one, PR: 1 What's your best option ? Thanks !
