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.

Link building strategy - my weak link!
Please help me understand link building. I've read the articles on Moz, but they seem vague to me. Specific questions: 1. How do I get my webpage on good quality sites? 2. Guest blogging? Good or not? 3. What about when people pick up one of our blog stories and publish it on their site with a link back? Is that bad now because it is duplicate content??? 4. Forum posts with a link in the signature? Good or not? 5. Directories - I get it that these are no longer good... are they severely negative? Should I take them down. 6. PR - Looks like this is bad... right??? 7. Youtube - any value? 8. Pinterst, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram? Any value to backlinks here? 9. What about sites like redit? 10. Anything else I should consider?

Link Building Cost
Can anyone share typically what a US Based SEO Agency should or would charge for creating good quality backlinks? All of the pages we are targeting have been optimized with quality content and are ranking half decent. The keywords we are targeting are med-high competition keywords. We've located a few offshore agencies with prices in the 100$ range for 10 keywords but are leery of moving forward, currently it's the cost we are paying for 1 Keyword here in the US. Thank You!

Best Methods - Link Building
We are having more and more "new" customers coming to us who have been hit by various algorithms imposed by google. After we have run a site health check and corrected everything, we plan and come up with a link development plan which suits the clients needs. Much of out link development work is safe comprising of; 1. Guest Blog Posts - where we develop creative content with the customer to publish. 2. Industry blog posts - where bloggers write about i.e. "the company" 3. Social media - posting pictures, commenting on forums, etc 4. Paid directories with authority We don't develop links in any other way and it brings results in the long term. Is anyone out there doing something else? Link building can sometimes be like walking on a tight rope. Thanks and happy holidays Gary - Elite Group Marketing London

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?

Internal Link Building
For a large part of our SEO we have been focusing on inbound links (mainly from guest posts and blogger reviews). But our rankings have dropped (though I understand there is a natural fluctuation in rankings quite often) this week and it occurred to me that we should be focusing more on internal link building as well. We, of course, link often to our home page and have related products on every page but we lack a lot of direct key word links in in our description. Would it behoove us to be on a specific product page--take for example owls and friends wall decals--and somewhere in the description add something like "our nursery wall decals are safe for....and have "nursery wall decals" be the direct link since that is a key term for us? I just wanted to make sure that we are headed in the right direction before I spend a massive amount of time updating all these product pages. Any input would be really helpful. Thanks so much, Elizabeth

Link building need help
I've been doing link building for the past 2 months for a website. I've put together some blog posts and submitted them to some sites. However, I don't want to repeat the content on other sites or use the same sites again for links. The problem with this company is that nothing is happening. The last press release they issued was in 2010 and in the 4 months I've been working for them nothing has happened. I have found a few good quality websites in our niche which I could approach for links, but I want to have good content to put on them. Does anyone have any ideas as how to create content that would be suitable, bearing in mind this a B2B company.
