Your opinion of link building strategy
-
Hi all,
I just started working on the optimization of highly competitive keywords on one website. I already started posting articles in reputable directories, but as you know, more quality links are needed. To do that I created the following strategy: (see the uploaded image or http://i.imgur.com/9HCiM.png)
The idea is to buy new domain and build page rank to this domain by other 3,4 domains that I will buy with PR3. Those 3 domains will contain low quality text generated by spinner just to keep that PR. Then those 3 domains will give PR to the newly created website which will contain only professionally written information and sometimes will give links to me. At the end I will get high quality links.
I know it's hard work, but posting PR articles will not be enough. I will continue to spy the competition via SEOMoz OSE but for now that is the idea that I have for quality links.

I agree with the others, this is NOT an approach I would recommend. I have been doing link building and SEO for 10+ years. Trust me you might see some short term benefits, but this approach is not a long term strategy.
Since you said "I know it's hard work" - you seem to be willing to put in the effort to do it right. I would recommend creating 2 or 3 really valuable pieces of content for your website. Then promote that content through bloggers, forums, press releases and all sorts of social media. You might be surprised at the quantity and quality links this may attract. It takes an act of faith, but if the content is good, the links will come.
Then create a couple anchor text links from your content to the appropriate pages on your website.
Give it a try. You might just get hooked on building link attraction to your website.

To echo what EGOL said, Google is an intelligent search engine, and it will sniff out your tactic.
Concentrate on the basics - write quality content and promote it aggressively. This will be far more cost and time effective than sitting there and developing manufactured links.

Thanks for the post. My goal was not to fool Google, but rather an alternative approach of link-building. Although I agree completely on what you wrote, it's a little bit harder to build incredible content that everyone would love to share as we see in all seo videos when you are writing on some strictly technical topic. I guess that just means that I will need to work harder to accomplish my goals, the results will come inevetably.

I hope that all of my competitors are putting lots of their time and money into these methods.
Instead of looking at how you can fool google consider what you can do that will build the quality, credibility, reputation and value-to-visitors of your primary site.
The best way to defeat a competitor is to do something that is clearly superior.

As I wrote on the post above yours, sadly not smart enough some times. Some of my competitors have ridiculously spammy links and are not banned. I can see this by OpenSiteExplorer.
I will continue to do the things strictly on the white side and will wait for the next panda to give some justice.

As I said, the blog from which my site will get links will contain only unique and highly informative text to guarantee that links I get from it are good. As black as it may be, I am seeing that my competition is doing directly the other thing, buying a sh*tty domains and linking directly from them. To avoid that I am doing the other thing, firstly creating a new blog and then when get some PR will start building some links. To this point all of my links are highly quality from partners, sites in my business area and articles in reputable directories. Sadly it's not enough, the competition is doing the "dirty" way, so I am just looking for the middle.
Anyway thanks for the post.

Google is smart... this will be recognized as "manufactured links".
-
Seems like you're going the black-hat way... (which is negative!)
Some words in your post make me worry about the long term succes of your efforts:
-
3,4 domains that I will buy with PR3
-
low quality text generated by spinner
-I know it's hard work : You think the things above are hard work??? Try real link building strategies, then you will know what's hard work!!!
I suggest you read some posts on SEOmoz blog to see what are link building techniques and strategies, and then work out a strategy for your website.

I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?
A blogger told me that "wordpress.com does not allow blogs to show advertisements or use links to sites that sell merchandise of any kind" is this true? Am i wasting my outreach time trying to get links from wordpress operated blogs?

How long does it take for spam link building to take effect?
I saw a recent surge of a low quality website to the top of SERPS, and looking at the link profile is almost 5,000 newly acquired linking RD's, with a total of over 49,000 links. I looked at a bunch of the links and they are super spammy (foreign language, way unrelated and out of context, spam sites with garbage content, pages of paid links to the websites subpages, etc). My question is, how long does it take for Google to recognize this and penalize this shady site?

Link Building - Goals and Expectations
I'm trying to set concrete goals around link building and I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on what is reasonable to expect. If we are reaching out to 10 sites a day in a non-spammy, relevant way, is it reasonable to think that we'll get 5 links back, 2 links? I just don't know. Tips and tricks are welcome too!!

Local Search Citation Building - 2 links on 1 page?
I have the opportunity to display information about a business on a handfull of high PR web pages (with relevant content, not directory listings). I'd like to use these listings to build local search citations and homepage authority/rank for chosen anchortext. The format allows name, address, phone number, email & url plus a description of the business (short paragraph that can contain a link) - see below. Should I link from the homepage url and body anchor text? Will search engines ignore the anchor text used in the 2nd link? Example Limited, 123 Example Road, London N12 3AA United Kingdom Tel: 020 712 3456 Email: ** hello@example.com** **Web: www.example.com ** A unique service offering special widgets to customers in the London area
