Have you looked at our blog section on Link Building? We have a lot of posts there that talk about many different ways to earn valuable links.

I would get rid of the Google Adsense links right under your main menu bar. Why do you want to send your visitors to another site as soon as they visit your site? It will decrease your pageviews, pageviews/user, and will increase your bounce-rate.
And you'd better convert your content url's to clean url format.
For instance your forum links is now: index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&view=index&category_id=0&Itemid=78
a forum URL like /automobile-forum would work better for you.

Hello Keri,
Thanks for a detailed inspection and time spent to analyse it.
-
Here, in India - a site with a .com is what is considered generic and is typed naturally instead of country specific .in or .co.in extension. Does having a .com impacts the rankings as searched in India. (Under webmaster - the geogparhical location is set as India only)
-
For warnings etc - we do regularly check google webmaster and yes takes very seriously for same. However - if we remove ads (which we learned from some major adsense enabled sites - these are the best practices - for monetizing and ad positioning ) pl suggest if we are doing anything wrong here. There is just one banner ad above the text fold and one link unit
-
By building links, 100% with you - but how to build do follow links from external sites - which is the best way to make backlinks - through Articles or other means
Thanks once again for time to analyse and suggest. Hope to get response for above. Thanks

What do you want your long-term results to be? I'd stop building links for the moment. Most are crap links right now -- if you sat down with a rep from a search engine, I don't think links like http://www.txtlinks.com/19/Business_and_Finance_Weblogs/72/ and http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/tips-to-eliminate-fear-of-public-speaking would they pass the quality guidelines?
The site comes across as quite confusing when I try to examine it. The title tag and some text says it's for India, but it's on a dot com and it looks like the site is trying to hide the fact that it's for India and instead hoping you'll click on one of the many ads. It's hard to find information from the actual site, given the number of ads on the page.
If this were my site, I'd verify it in Google Webmaster Tools and see if there were any warnings about either my links or the quality of my pages. Google has started cracking down more recently on sites with a ton of ads on them above the fold. If it were my site, and I was wanting to attract visitors from India, I would also set that as my geographic target in Google Webmaster Tools.
I'd go through and make sure that my content was unique and valuable to the visitor. I'd ask if it was something that someone would want to link to, then go out and tell people about the content. I'd also tell them about my point of difference / unique selling proposition. Let people know what they can get from your site that they can't get from other, similar sites. As you build links, build them for your users, not for Google. Ask yourself if you would want to explain these links in a reinclusion request, or if you would want to remove them later. It's easier to never make the link then try to remove it later.
I know this wasn't the answer you were looking for, but you need to make sure the site is something that can earn natural links.

Does this link building actually work?
Doing a small SEO project for a local dermatologist and when reviewing competitor link profiles I found one site that was earning a TON of links from other doctors throughout the country. From what I can tell, it looks like this web development company builds medical practice sites, then puts a page on each site that links to all other practices they created site for. Does this actually work? What would the name of this be? Recipricol links? Link farm? http://www.raleighsportsmed.com/ypo-showcase.php Thanks! Ricky

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

Are Dealer Reciprocal Links Hurting My SEO?
We are a manufacturer of fireplaces that sells our product through a series of nationwide distributors. We have a link to each of our distributors, who also have links to us, on our website under a "Where to Buy" tab. If we were to remove these links and instead provide contact information, would this significantly help our SEO?

Link Building Services Post Penguin
Hi Can anyone suggest a link building service that is of higher quality and still works nowadays? All the private networks were deindexed and it looks like we're left only with blasting software, which i don't really like. I am doing research on link building now and i can't seem to find any service that meets the quality of BMR or other deindexed Homepage Networks. Thanks!

Link Building Ideas?
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a site where people can buy mail-order bagels, i.e. the bagels are shipped via postal mail. It's a good alternative for places that have no good bagel stores nearby, especially in small, rural towns. I am about to launch a link-building campaign for the website, but am a little stuck as to where to begin. My first thought was guest posting, but it seems like the vast majority of food blog owners are very protective of their blogs and rarely, if ever, allow guest posts. I also thought about doing sponsored reviews (i.e. sending mommy bloggers free samples in exchange for a review), but that's essentially a paid link, i.e. a no-no. There are of course generic web directories, but those only get you so far, and article marketing is out of the question (too spammy). Was hoping I might be able to bounce off some ideas off of you all. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for whatever tips/ideas you might be able to share 🙂 Lukas

Best link building activities to increase velocity.
I'm running my own web based company selling security software. I'm a one man band and do the programming, web design, SEO etc. all myself. I've taken a very white hat approach so far and spend all my time writing guest posts and getting them published on tech blogs (I get 3-5 links per week doing this). The only tool I use is Buzzstream and I've been doing this for about 6 months now. I'm starting to see a few results but whenever I look at my competitors I see they have links from thousands of root domains. I feel like I need to increase my link building velocity with a new activity which will yield a much greater number of links than I am able to create using my guest posting strategy. I'm not keen to start spamming article directories or any other short term activity. I dedicate about 8 hours per week to SEO and I could afford to spend around $700 per month if necessary. Any help would be much appreciated.
