Suggestions needed on link building campaign...
-
Getting links has become very difficult task for me.
Recently i have started a website on Depression and Anxiety.
My campaign steps:
1)Hired a doctor to write stuff on my website.
2)After that we did 100 more articles for article marketing.
3)Submitted content to top article directories.. All links to only 1 anchor (domainname.com). I haven't promoted my domain with main anchor anywhere.
- DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
Can anyone suggest me some link building methods so that i can do Good SEO for my new site?

I would suggest not to over do any one kinds of link building. Like you mentioned 100 more articles for article marketing. I woud continue to build quality content instead.
Are users interacting with your content ? Can you do a listing in some other authority websites ? Look into the possibility of some info-graphics in the Depression/Anxiety niche.

To add to Rebekah's usefull suggestions. Recently I have published a free eBook. Searching for "Free eBooks" and similar returns plenty of sites that solicit submissions, many of which will include your link be that to your site or to the page on your site the free eBook can be downloaded. Some of them say they are "authority sites" and according to Open Site Explorer have Page rank of 70 and above such as free-ebooks dot net
Although writing a decent eBook is time consuming and takes work, it seems easier to get accepted so long as its a subject area you are competant in an it doesn't look spammy. Judging by your subject area this looks like an approach you could take.

Some ideas...
Create a resource list of important information for people suffering from depression/anxiety. Include suicide hotline numbers, a checklist like "warning signs your friend or family member may be suffering from depression", links about the different types of depression, create a quick quiz people can take "Do you suffer from depression?" , how to talk to your doctor about depression, - etc.
Create an area where people can submit first hand experiences about dealing with depression/anxiety.
Create a "friends and family" area so people can learn how to help those they care about,
Contact authority sites that deal with these issues and share your resource list.
Find a lot of statistics about those disorders and write up a report/detailed post about your findings.
Find bloggers who write about their struggles with depression/anxiety and interview them.
Create badges people can put on their website - like breast cancer awareness, but make new ones for depression/anxiety awareness.
That's all from the top of my head.

Starting a new site's link campaign... how to approach it?
Over the last few years I have been building content in my niche that I believe rivals some of the best content out there and deserves some attention. Although I have a plan to produce alot more content which I believe will take the quality and quantity of my content into a position among the top 5 or top 10 sites in my niche in the next 1-2 years, I decided that making that massive investment in content production irrespective of a consistent marketing plan is a recipe for failure because I need the positive feedback loop from site visitors to begin now, not in 2 years. Right now I'm in a position where I'm producing content that I think is better than alot of what's out there, and it's just not ranking the way I believe it should. I think I need to do a legitimate link building campaign to establish the website a little more firmly and put it on more level ground with some of its competitors. In Majestic SEO's "fresh index", most of my site's immediate competition have no more than 500 new domains in their links, though the biggest one has some 2,000. How can any link building effort I might take on possibly compare to links of this scale? Is there some "rule of thumb" for how many quality links I should aim for to get on square ground with some of the competitors on the lowest rungs? And if I try to build that many links at once, do I risk sending signals of untrustworthiness? (Assume I'm not going to be looking for any shoddy links, and in general will aim to follow Google guidelines.)

Guest blogging, guest blogging, guest blogging. Since I started my career as a "brand manager" I've heard the term "guest blogging" at least a million times. So I've put a fair amount of energy into it and for a long time it worked beautifully, still is in many ways. However, in the last month or two nearly every blog I have contacted about guest blogging has said that "due to an increase in guest blogging request we are now charging a fee of x" so on and so forth. Doesn't paying for links put you at great risk for being deindexed? And can't bloggers get in trouble for this as well? Do they not know, not care or think it doesn't apply to them? And if it's a sponsored post, say I send them $100 of free product and pay them $100 to do it, isn't that just hiring someone to talk about my brand? Why would google punish me for that? Anyway around it? Thank you so much! I look forward to your suggestions/advice/criticism.

Link Building & Juice
I have a corporate client which has multiple franchises, therefore microsites (www.example.com/cityname) within their corporate website(www.example.com). I am trying to build some links for these microsites that are lot weaker than the corporate web page in terms of PA. We worked hard putting most of these locations into local directories such as Google places and yahoo local, but the ones on yahoo local are all pointing to www.example.com even when you search a specific city when it suppose to be www.example.com/cityname. So first thought is to edit all of the yahoo locals to the microsite webpages for every locations but then I thought that wasn't a good idea since I will split the juice passed to the corporate website www.example.com. The corporate website is really important and wouldn't want to weaken its PA. Can someone tell me what are my options in order to not hurt the corporate website and to improve ranking for these weak microsites? should I still edit those yahoo listings to the microsite website or not? if not what how will I be able to build more links? Thank you!!

I've been hearing about going after niche directories, and my question is most of them have a ton of links on any given page. Is it even worth taking the time to approach these sites knowing they won't pass a lot of link juice?

Has anyone seen positive results from using Submiteaze to submit to directories? I know an SEM agency that uses it for clients' link building campaigns, but I don't know if it is worth buying. Are there better alternatives?
I would like to start a link building initiative at my company for a new website, and would like to know if the value of the links built using Submiteaze would be worth the money.
