I am new to seo. Every where i see seo people are talking about nearly all the links are bad. I have read everything but cant seem to figure out how to get good backlinks. And what kind of backlinks will actually help my site. I used blackhat stuff in past that really made my life miserable. if you know what i mean. can someone guide me personaly . (kidding) i know you guys are very busy . but if you could may be tell me which direction to go , it will put a smile on my face.

Moosa, the post you have written is a good one, out of curiosity though, what are your thoughts on the positioning of the link in the body of a webpage? It has been said that a link at the top of the body content vs. down the bottom is more favourable? Is that something you agree with?

Samafaq, I'm a great believer that the best way to get links is through great content that is well marketed and publicised. This is not easy to achieve, but if it can be mastered and done effectively, it is usually what will produce natural links that best indicate to Google an authoritative site.

I recently write a post that talk about the anatomy of a perfect link: http://www.setalks.com/anatomy-perfect-link/

I am not saying if any one o the thing is missing then you should not go for it but this will answer your question that says best link.

Hope this helps!

Short and sweet can't be beat. Here is THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO LINK BUILDING FOR BEGINNERS!!! It was right under your nose the whole time.

While that guide is great, especially for your purposes, the tactics you will employ vary by use case. So there isn't any one all-encompassing guide. It just requires some creativity once you're brilliant on the basics.
