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?

Nice, thank you for pointing that one out!

These two links are so very helpful! I've already found a lot of great ideas in here:

I agree with DJ123. Also recommend John Cooper's link building site - Point Blank SEO. You'll find most, if not all, of the answers to your questions there.

Check out Brian Dean at backlinko.com (I believe Brian is also here on MOZ) - he has some excellent ideas for getting links from quality sites with good content creation. Actually, he has some of the best ideas I have seen in a while.
Hope that helps!

Is a no-follow link/sponsored link a good editorial link?
Ok maybe this is a dumb question. I really need some better, more quality backlinks pointing to my site. There is a site that has domain authority of 72, page rank 5 that is offering me a sponsored blog post. Do sponsored posts count as a good editorial link? Also what if they are no-follow (and how would I find out ahead of time), does that still give me link juice?

Link Building Strategy - Please Give Feedback
Hi, I"m moving forward with link building for nlpca(dot)com and here's my plan I know my industry, keywords, and this site very well so I'll start by: Analyze Top content for top 10 competitors and see where the links are currently going. I'm assuming a competitor is someone similar to me and not sites like wikipedia in this case Make a spreadsheet for all of the worthwhile links that I find by using OSE and the top 10 competitors, places where if we're good enough we can get a link on that page. See what they're linking to Use (1) and (2) to discover what stelllar targeted content to build Use infographics, a blog, and articles to build targeted content to request a link from the people in (2) building out facebook, twitter, and Google +1 for the site is coming too. Your thoughts? I'm completely open to improvements via feedback.
