        I would do it only for the most trusted of brand name directories - Yahoo!, Better Business Bureau, and maybe Best of the Web, but probably very little else.

          Directories like this can help, but they are very expensive (the Yahoo link cost $299 the last time I checked).  I stand by my advice.  Do something awesome on your site before you ask anyone lese to link to it.  
          And make sure that the websites you target for link acquisition are relevant to your site.  In the example you gave, construction sites would be relevant.  But not blogs about travel.  Does that make sense?

            Well, you should always try to get a mix of branded and unbranded links.  If you can get links to inner pages, that will also be helpful in helping build authority.

              You can buy 2-3 good premium directory links and it should help.  Reputable links such as Yahoo.com, Business.com and BOTW.com are good if you are a new website.

                  Dude,

                  The best way to get links is to earn them.

                  Paid links are against Google's policies, and could get you banned.  Don't buy links.

                  And before you even start thinking about buying links, make sure that your site is worthy of being linked to.  Then check out this blog post:http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies  And buy this book: www.linkbuildingbook.com.

                  Unfortunately getting links is not easy, but don't go down the dark road of link buying...no good can come of it.

                  Good Luck!

                    Are backlinks in the form of Footer or Sitewide links safe?

                    Hi There! Some of our competitors are using sitewide links in the header, footer or sidebar…is it ok to use these type of backlinks to increase overall backlinks. The site-wide links increase backlinks dramatically. Thanks Malik Zakaria

                    Are Sidebar Backlinks worth for SEO?

                    Hello! Let's use the following example: I have a blog (let's call it Blog A) and I find another blog in the same niche (this will be Blog B) that has higher DA and PA than mine. Will Google penalize me if the Blog B puts a link to my blog in their sidebar? Remember, the Blog A and Blog B are from the same niche. I ask this because Google says that links on sidebars appears in every page and in some pages the link may be useless. But if both blogs are from the same niche, there won't be pages where the links will be from different themes and with less relevance. So, is my thought correct: we can use sidebar links without caring about penalization ONLY if the blogs are from the same niche? Thanks in advance!

                    Spammy no follow backlinks - what should I do?

                    There is a individual/company that is creating lots of spam sites in my niche. It doesn't seem that they are trying to rank for any keywords, so I'm a little confused as to their purpose, but here's what they're doing. They scrape the top 10 Google results for each keyword and create a page - so if the niche is "widgets", they scrape the top 10 ranked sites for 'widgets', 'blue widgets', 'red widgets', and so on. A 'results' page is created for each keyword, which is linked from a home page. The results page always contains 10 websites - text is the site metadescription or similar. Each website gets a nofollow link back with the page title used as the anchor text. The host sites all have the keyword in the domain name - e.g www.widgetsxyz.com. The sites are thrown together but interestingly have a very crappy but individual logo (like 90's clipart). The host sites all have high DA/PA due to some very extensive link spam pointing to the sites, with very targeted keywords. There is seemingly no purpose to these sites that I can see - no other 'followed' links on the page or site. Whoever is doing this is churning out tens, if not hundreds of these sites. Any ideas what might be going on here, and whether I should be disavowing these sites (even though no follow). The fear is that they could switch the links to do follow, and get all the major players penalised in one fell swoop. ???

                    Backlinks From Scraper Sites - Should I Disavow Them?

                    I'm going through all the links (hopefully) to my website and I've found so many links from site scrapers. For instance: http://www.fzccg.com/cmsteam/dvbbs/boke.asp?zkhod76681.showtopic.148760.html ... which links to my site with anchor text "abercrombie uk How To Change Your Wiper Blades" It is surely not realistic to think that I can contact all the scraper site owners. So what should I do with this kind of links?
