Is this going to help for Linkbuilding
-
I am not able to do link building from like minded websites. Hence I am planning to go for following approach :
By creating links to my website on blogspots (using comments).
Participating in question / answer forum on the websites meant for r asking questions for different categories.
Writing articles on good ranking websites and creating links.
Participating in Social media websitesPlease let me know if this will help me. Any other possible way apart from these?

Matt Williamson has some really good points in his comment. I'm going to focus more on those potentially spammy link tactics.
I would only suggest using blog comments and profiles on forums that meet the following criteria:
- The site is somehow related to your niche, product, service, etc.
- You are there to add value to an already created discussion.
- You are there for the long haul.
- The site you're participating on isn't anything shady or illegal.
The biggest thing to remember is, wherever you spend time building links, you better be building value too. Any link that was created 'for the link" and not because you are genuinely adding meaningful content/conversation will be looked upon as low quality, even spammy in some cases.
You don't want to create a negative image of your brand to the eyes of users, likewise for search engines.

I would stay away from the tactic of creating spammy blog comments and forum links to your website. Guest blogging and building social relationships with authority figures is always a good tactic to start gaining decent links to your site. I would also consider other ideas such as content curation for your site - there is an excellent article on this in this weeks SEOMoz blog. I would also think about ways in which you could possibly create some sort of viral campaign - maybe a video that could help you gain brand recognition and exposure thus leading to links. I don't know what your site is but have you thought about creating your own blog and encouraging others to produce guest posts for it - invite other to post with outreach emails/letters? Building those relationships with social influencers can a good way to gain guest posts. Hope this helps!

Are these sites spammy links or should I just let it go?
I have a new client who had an old SEO firm that I believe was putting spammy links together for them. The firm has very good links mixed in with them so I am wondering if it even matters. They are ranked 4/10 and have a DA of 47. So it doesn't seem it is really hurting them too badly. Below are some examples of some of the sites I found in the Open SIte Explorer. I wanted to get another opinion on if the below hurt/help/does nothing. I was thinking it hurts more than helps. Topic of his website is a marketing firm. http://directoryol.com/united-states/page-17.html http://360surfcamp.com/links-37 http://www.kdbx.rojo.jp/kdbx/index.cgi?action=kategorie&k_no=1&mk_no=0&page=10681 Thoughts? Should we use Google's disavow tool or just leave it alone?

Duplicate Website.. Please Help!
Hi, My Client's Website has been duplicated, exactly the same website theme and etc. It's like a mirror site and my client couldn't figure out who duplicated his website. Actually, it has been hit by Penguin update last May and didn't fully recover yet, because of unnatural links but there's a little improvement with its ranking. I have already fix the keyword stuffed from his homepage with a link to it and the footer links. After fixing it about a week, its ranking is moving up a bit from page 14 to page 8 but it's not stable. Sometimes it go back to page 10 then back to 8. But there still a lot of unnatural links pointing to his website using its targeted keywords to much. I guess the main issue here are the duplicate site and unnatural links pointing to his website. By the way, here's the original site of my client www.apparelus.com and here's the duplicate one www.fs-biz.info/ Thanks!

Linkbuilding TO Your Guest Blog Post?
Hypothetical situation: You write a guest blog post for a popular blog about your niche topic. The post is a hit and sends you visitors, leads, and social media followers. Would you consider running a linkbuilding campaign to the blog post in order to help it rank better for its target keyword(s), given that the post has proven to convert successfully, despite the fact that the post is on a domain other than your own?

What are the first linkbuilding actions I should take?
I am building a couple of brand new websites for myself and a client. I'm operating on a fairly limited budget ~$1000.00 for 3 sites. All 3 are in the life sciences and chemistry field. If you were me what are the first sites you try to get links from? Or should I just hire a link building service like Paul and Angela's? I guess Im looking for specific domains that are a must to get links from.
