Questions about Link Building

[maulsl88]

Hey Everyone,

So I've been doing a lot of link building for my affiliate site: Article Submissions to places like Ezine, Goarticles, Article Alley and Web 2.0 Sites...Squidoo, Hubpages, Twitter etc.

And I'm getting really tired of writing on the same topic over and over again. My niche is pretty small so writing get's tedious. And after seeing this post:

Hubpages - unless you have sufficient status is no follow
Zimbio - redirects
Wordpress - quick to delete

In this thread 7 Days Article Marketing Blueprint That Helps You Cope With Life After Submission

I was wondering if there are better ways to build links to generate more traffic? Right now I'm averaging about 70 to 100 visitors a day but I'd like to increase traffic more.

I was considering Link buying but I honestly know nothing of how to do this and have no experience with it at all. So what do you warriors think, and do you have any recommended services? How about the following ones:textlinkbrokers.com or text-link-ads.com ?

I was also considering using AMAutomation if there isn't much more I can do link wise outside the realms of writing. Have any of you any experience with AMA if so what do you think about it?

Any other help outside of these limited ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've been pretty confined to Article writing and Web 2.0 so my knowledge base is limited.

Thanks for any pointers

Squidoo and wordpress still work fine for me

When you say backlinks do you mean those coming from articles? Or do you mean PR backlinks like Paul and Angelas packages.

Blogging is a good way to get more backlinks too.

I didn't know there was a difference between backlinks coming from articles, and backlinks such as Angelas? I thought they all contributed to the same thing of putting your content in the top search results?

That's really my goal get my pages to the 1st page of google. Kinda having a hard time.

Kind of. You can submit articles but it has a bunch of different modules where you can add video, and your blog, RSS feed, polls, all kinda of different add-ons.

The add-on's are necessary when using Squidoo or else Squidoo will leave you page as a Work in Progress and I think that means that you wont get ranked in squidoo and you'll get minimal visitors.

I've honestly had a hard time with squidoo - I very rarerly get any visits to my pages and I have a bunch of modules on my pages. Idk?

I believe it's coming out in a couple weeks, if you write back to me with interest I can get you the link but I'm pretty sure it's still not even up for pre-launch yet.

PPV? Never heard of it....I'd like to check it out though. PM me the link when you can.

Another option to create traffic to your site is to write articles and distribute them through Sumityourarticle.com or Uniquearticlewizard.

With your signature (link to your website) in each article, distributed to 600 different publishers, brings you massive traffic.

Thx for the Tip. Have you used these services before? If so how well did it work for you?

There are lots and lots of Web 2.0 websites, similar to Squidoo and Hubpages. These two are certainly not the only ones .

Are you doing video marketing, blog commenting, forum marketing besides article marketing?

What are some other good ones you recommend? I kinda gave up on hubpages because you need a certain rank before your links are even dofollow.

I've tried video marketing - it wasn't very successful.

I looked into blog commenting through comment kahuna but there were literally no blogs for my topic, so I haven't looked much further into it.

And I haven't yet done much forum marketing. I've never really been too sure about how to approach it. I mean do you add links to your signature and then just participate? Or do you actually post links in your posts?
