Hi Christopher
Link Round ups and Resource pages are quite common on the web especially with bloggers.
I wrote a post about finding and approaching these types of sites...

"Resource Lists and Link Round ups",Can you add a little explaination on what and how of this tool?

Hi Christopher (great name by the way)
When it comes to link building it really depends on the niche, the budget and strategy of the overall campaign as to what types of links I would advise anyone to go after.
1. Guest Blogging on Real Sites with Real Communities (not those glorified article directory blogs)
2. Resource Lists and Link Round ups if you have a high quality resource don't be afraid to ask other webmasters to link to you
3. Infographics - Data Visualisations really go down well in certain niches - in other areas they've been done to death
4. Broken Link Building and Helping Webmasters clean up technical site issues
If you are still struggling for inspiration then I recommend you check out this post

and I have a list of my favourite link building blogs here:

But as Mike King says "its about making friends or making the news"

Christopher, our Q&A system sometimes is slow and multiple identical responses get posted on occasion. Heather was not trying to spam, it was our fault. We have a system upgrade coming next week that should fix this.

Building value and delivering it surely thats the essence of today success.This is what every one wants.The Search engines and the users.I have recently developed a blog about forums.
http://forumlist.info/
It give the users list of relevant forums of there topic.
Jumping high in alexa and even PR 1 of all internal pages and old post in less than 6 months with out SEO.Surely moving on my questions.Still there are some ways if not many we can create some good backlinks.Guest blogging voice I hear every where.People says Forum/blog posting with little different still on song. here is what I get one example of PR from you and some one else.I am all confuse hearing too many opinions so I just step ahead and asked you guys for some real life experience.
If the other practices still work what cares a person needs to take on creating backlinks from them. -
Heather Baker Its like you try to add some spam here.One post is enough at a time.If you are real than answer me How can I add backlink in PR.I read a post in SEL claiming that the world of PR is over and in case you still do it.Do it for press publication with one or two open URL.Anchor text PR no longer have same value because people abruptly use it to manipulate rank.

Hey Christopher,
Great Question. This is a topic really close to my heart as I consider myself primarily a link builder before an account manger.
The way I create backlinks for large ecommerce platforms (1 million+ visits from search per week) has reverted back to the more traditional way of doing marketing and PR, it now just has a SEO twist to it.
Building out the assets you have on your site is key here. For example, if you are an optician, perhaps you should build out a widget that allows users to take a picture with there webcam and add the new glasses range to see how they look. Then set up a press release and contact some of the industry bloggers about it and see if they would be interested in writing about it. Then support this through the companies brand social channels.
If you are a local business, I would say you need to go back to the 1940s ways of doing business and get to know your neighbour and start giving back to the community in order to get those prized links. For example, if you are a removal service in a University town, you should be offering students big discounts on your service and contacting the university to get them to link to your site in the online student starter packs.
Basically, building a value proposition and telling people about it is the new link building tactic. It's the only thing that is truly scalable and search engine safe.
All the other tactics like guest posting, PRs, blog comments, directories all still work, but the approach is totally different. You just need to be much more selective about who you choose to interact with and where you spend your time.
I made a video response talking over this. Apologies for the lack lustre voice, I have a cold right now.
Cheers,
Ross

Hi Christopher. Public relations works really well for quality link building:

I hope this helps

Link Building Question
Hi Community, I am currently doing some link building for a client. I have created a case study in the form of an article based around the client on our own website & linked to one of their service subpages so a user can see what kind of work they do. I am also currently trying to rank the exact same service sub page for 'KEYWORD A'. I have used 'KEYWORD A' in the title of the article (/KEYWORD-A-TEXT-TEXT) and built a link (not exact match anchor text but contains 'KEYWORD A') within the article pointing to the service subpage. Our blog post now out-ranks the service subpage by around 5 pages, my question is: 1. How long does Google take to acknowledge that the client's service subpage is more resourceful for KEYWORD A? Any other hints / tips / advice is appreciated! Thank you

Build links to home page or internal to rank internal pages?
I understand that naturally people link to the home page and internal pages - probably the home page more often than not. In order to build a natural looking link profile I also understand that I need a variety of anchor text, brand and url links. Should I be building links mainly to the home page with only a few to internal pages? Ultimately I want my internal pages to rank for specific terms so in my head it makes sense to concentrate my link building effort to internal pages but that would seem unnatural to google I'm sure. For arguments sake if I only built links to the home page with a mix of the anchor texts described above would these internal pages rank eventually anyway as 'link juice' flows throughout the site? Or is it an absolute must to build some links to internal pages. Could a page rank for a keyword without having any links to the site with the keyword anchor text (simply url links) based on the page title/content? Also what is a good ratio of home page to internal links? I would assume around 10:1? A lot of questions I know but I'm confused as to what will be the best strategy.

When is link building an SEO priority? (vs. something else)
I'm considering hiring an SEO vendor for link building, and assessing whether or not my website really needs link building, vs. another SEO priority (for instance, I KNOW there's an opportunity for local SEO). What factors should I look at to determine if link building is a high priority? Should I just compare the number links my site has with competitors, using a tool like Open Site Explorer?

Selling link building - Show me the money !
Week after week we get enquiries for Link building services. Time and time again we are losing out on contracts and deals... My stance - We work on your site for a period of time doing link building so 2 days in the month a link building member will research competitors , yadi , yadi, ya 🙂 You get the picture right... But the customers are being told by less scrupulous companies the numbers of links they will receive. Impossible unless you are buying them right ? So it reaches that point when you start questioning being 100% honest... What advice would you give me on selling link building services...

How to Define Quality of External Website During Link Building?
I want to know about process, method or tool which can help me to define quality of external website during link building. We are searching too many questions and topics on Google to resolve daily mind bubbles which land us on different website with different subject. I found that, I was able to drop my website URL over there but confuse about quality of website. I am selling Football and create external link from baby care website. So, will it make sense? My concern is that, Can we create external links from different subject website or specific to subject oriented website? Is there any specific method which help me to understand more about external website and help me to take decision about link building?

Market Samurai's Latest Link Building Tool
Hey, Would be interested to see everyone's opinion on the latest software form Market Samurai http://www.noblesamurai.com/as/video/3 It's basically an article spinning & syndication promising to be the 'biggest in the world'. Most things they mention in the video is quite contradictory to everything SEOmoz teaches about link building. What's everyone's thoughts about Market Samurai and their practices?
