Most powerfull types of backlinks?

[SergeLight]

I was wondering what in your experience, are the most powerfull types of backlinks? Social bookmarks, articles, forum profiles, blog comments etc....

I recently order some forum profile backlinks but I ain't seeing any link come up in google yet. The links have been pinged.

How long will this take? And what is your experience with forum profile backlinks?

Also I found this article on the web:

8. Buying Links

While buying links may not get you banned, they can certainly hurt your page rank. Google has slowly been catching on to this fad and has measures in place to put your site in limbo for 6-8 months (known as the "sandbox effect") so you can't instantly benefit from buying links to your website. Many sites that sell links are being devalued by Google, making an investment in this strategy a waste of money and time. Ultimately, stay away from buying links to increase your ranking.



Any thoughts?

They are the worst links you can find. Little to no ranking power, almost never get indexed, frequently get deleted by moderators, rarely stay indexed... and they are all PR n/a or PR 0 links.

Good luck

Thats ridiculous. Google has 0 way of knowing if someone purchased backlinks or not.

[owenlee]

The most useful backlinks i guess would be .edu and .gov backlinks..they have proven to works...

[IMSince2003]

Most (not all) forum links are a joke. I once did 20,000 links to a tiny EMD niche site to see what would happen and it did nothing to help the site's rankings. And yes, Google knows about Squidoo, HubPages, Buzzle, EzineArticles, etc.

[ChrisDH]

Google no longer gives as much weight to .gov and .edu links.

The best links to get are high PR home page links but these can be expensive and will often cost a monthly fee. For affordable solutions I would say blog networks are the best links for results.

Remember though just build them all for link diversity.

[theseoguys]

I have ranked site on long tail keywords ONLY on forum profile backlinks using less than 50 per keyword. Sometimes it happens over a couple months, sometimes takes longer. Say what you want, they work in certain circumstances.

[bermuda]

The most powerful types of links are actually the votes which are gained in an editorial way, usually as a result of adding quality contents to the websites and blogs and so, winning some quality, one-way links from other sites moderated by experts and admins. Relevancy issues would be playing big roles in here because if you gather even a few strong links from relevant pages which are more or less connected to the subject of your site, the effects on your ranks will be huge.

This is why getting some links from authority and old directories can be great because usually the links will come from pages with contents covering the niches which are related to the sites contents. Some links may also come from within contexts of blogs and they too can be strong if the blogs contents are related to the primary keywords targeted. In terms of link building, quality of the votes would be determining factor, and not merely being on the lookout to raise links counts.

[SergeLight]

Wow it seems like there is still a lot of uncertainty when it comes to backlinks. Links that worked for one persone did not workd for the other...This doens't make it easier :'(

What about indexing? How long does that usually take?

[usaimarketing]

Backlinks works only if they are relevant to a linking website, otherwise search engines penalized the website sooner or later. look carefully the quality of backlink rather than quantity of backlinks.

[runadsonline]

Backlinks from article postings are most powerfull as OBL are minimum. Also edu. and gov. sites baklinks holds their own importance.

[danlew]

I think the most powerful backlinks right now are EDU, GOV and Web 2.0 properties. I also considered high PR article directories and press releases as great sources of getting powerful backlinks.

[MikeWike]

High PR contextual links are the best for me. Mostly I do social bookmarks + blog comments, but I have seen the best result with contextual backlinks. I don't bother myself by creating forum/profile links anymore..

[Paul in Waterford]

a good mixed bag of links looks good for google

[Trevor]

In the eyes of Google buying links is indeed treated as black-hat SEO method. That doesn't mean that there aren't great ways to buy links and get results, but be careful with buying backlinks, as many of the sites the backlink seller use to create the backlinks are known for selling backlinks already and as Google said themselves, it may not do good for your site.

As for profile links: They worked pretty well in 2010, but they are pretty much dead now. From my experience, only about 5% of all the profile links I create get indexed (and that after pinging all of them (!)), so I would say it's a waste of time.

The best kind of backlinks you can get is content backlinks coming from within high-quality (and preferably related to your site's content) content... You can get this kind of backlinks by making content contributions to blogs in your niche in exchange for the blog owners accepting a link or two to your site within the content you contribute. Or you can submit your spun or un-spun articles to blog networks, such as BMR, UAW or AMR and get this kind of backlinks, as well.

Hope this helps.

[roadies9]

but we can get .edu and .gov backlinks very easily

[SergeLight]

Can anyone explain "Web 2.0" properties a little bit? How does that work?

[timbarker]

My most powerful types of backlinks are Press Release, Blog Commenting, Social Bookmarking and Web 2.0 properties. I've been using these strategies for 3 years and it's still effective for me unlike profile links and article links.

[vistha82]

I beleive the most powerfull links are related with your website.Like if you get one backlink which is related to your niche it is equal to 100 other links.so try to get more backlinks from related niche.

[TBInternetMarketing]

Personally I use a service like Build My Rank which is a private blog. This allows me to get high quality backlinks to my site and also those links get crawled and indexed, which means they actually count for something

[moneymoguls]

I see newbies always asking about backlinks, content, domain names, aging, keywords, etc.

Here is my answer to all newbie questions: If you are serious about IM then figure it out yourself and here is why. I spent a few wasteful years reading, spending money on ebooks, links, WSO's, etc and asking people how do be successful at IM. Most of what I learned then was useless garbage. I got nowhere. Sound familiar?

I started trying experiments to see what is true and what is BS. Now I have a system that works and is much simpler than what everyone was telling me, especially about keyword competition.

Backlinks oh boy!!!!....there is so much BS out there about backlinks. I spent thousands of dollars on all kinds of backlinks and software like scrapebox. I blasted website with thousands of links....and never ranked or made any money. Blog comments, forum profiles, directory links, forum links, edu links....never worked for me.

I even had a SEO company backlink one of my websites with a variety of types of backlinks (500 per month for 3 months) and it disappeared. It was on the 3rd page before backlinking. WTF?

I'm glad I had to figure it all out because now I know what works and I just repeat it for new websites. You would not believe how UN-complicated it really is!!! And I do not spend much money...about $100/month.

[SergeLight]

I believe that it shouldn't be complicated. But I also believe that there is a lot of good advice out there! I also think that it depends on what niche you are in!

Money Moguls; mind sharing some more about your methods/ideas?

Yes these are very powerful but only few number of authority sites allow people to post backlinks so only SEO experts can give you a good number of these backlinks for inexpensive price.

How long did it take and how did you do it?

[sdmaps]

buying link..

i also will do

[SarahZT]

I would say backlinks from authority (and even non-authority) sites within your niche are the most powerful backlinks. This gives signals to search engines that your site it known and within you niche's online circles... other type of backlinks also help of course such as forum and blog comments, but I believe links from relevant sites are key.

They will also help you get relevant traffic too

[Web Design Sunshine Coast]

Purchased Backlinks are generally the worst kind what i would recommend is using a tool like seo moz or linkdex they both have free trials and analyze competitors back-links this give you an idea of what they are doing and whats working for them and they you can see what works the best

Obviously the best bet are organic back links so writing some good original content will help your cause a lot

[MaryMartha]

High pr bookmarking, directory, article, blog posting are powerfull type of back links

[kaytav]

Home page contexual backlinks are very powerfull and effective

Good for you man, good luck!

Care to share with us a little bit more? It's hard to believe more without proof, that is all...not saying you're lying or anything but if you're succeeding we would love for some ideas...

Thanks...

[omy123]

I always believe that a link from a relevant page will count more than the link from a irrelevant page, even if the link is from high PR Irrelevant page.

[puneet tyagi]

i persionally think .edu works alot

[SergeLight]

Is it possible for google to de-index you website if you did to many backlink blasts?
If so, how can you check this, and how can you get re-indexed?

[shaadishoppe]

For me, the most powerful backlinking is bookmarking and article distribution.

[scorpi]

Once again as much as I see from this topic there is not any certainty on this subject also as in other SEO subjects.

My experience tells me that persistence and patience is key success factors in link building.

[DavidAllenNeron]

I really don't see what all the fuss is about ...
It's pretty simple logic if you watch any of the videos that google puts out, their goal is to provide search results that are meaningful therefore they're looking for links that are relevant that people actually click and use, links that create a community...
So here's the biggest tip and it'll save you so much time and possibly even money....
Get out there in the community and provide some value to their communities... post, help people out and don't be a spam-whore... be relevant, now this may take you a bit to get down to a science but you'll find that it is one of the best ways to really increase traffic and better yet, it'll be targeted ... because you didn't go to a yarn forum and talk about your 5 step plan to creating 10 step plans ... did you?!

[JeremiahSay]

Hmm i guess the most powerful and effective backlinks are blog-posting (within the same niche of course) and Social Media like the Google+1, facebook etc.. (they go viral very easily)..

I'm not an SEO expert but I know these method can drive tons of traffic to your website - if you use them correctly..

Hope this help,
Jeremiah

Don't discount the value of being active on forums as well, the bigger the better.

[krishan1982]

I m trying guestbook link wheel and edu domain for my back link
thanks

[Johnleesom]

Diversity,Diversity and diversity it has worked and it will continue to work.Take your time be patient you say forum profiles are worthless but try combining them?

[Oconnor1]

I haven't read through all the responses here but the answer to your initial question is that everything you listed there is wrong! Find real websites and blogs that relate to your website. Offer them some sort of benefit or compensation for linking to you. Those links will retain their value and you won't get penalized by Google. It's not easy and no one is going to do 1,000 of them for you for $29.99 but that's real SEO.

[Spock1]

It's all manipulation of the Internet, which for many would seem to be the name of the game. Take your time and offer genuine content that is truly useful and they will come.

I would love to read more on that too.

[Theeban]

I really recommend backlinks from Web 2.0 sites with articles and backlinks from article directories. Those are very powerful and will give great improvement in ranking on any search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing,.

[SergeLight]

Thanks everyone for your help! I really appreciate it a lot!

[semaximizer]

Get Links from High PR sites. It can be any site, but if its relevant to your site's content, better. Links from High PR Paid directories is a good (and easy) way of getting them.

[Everythingbranded]

Some of Back linking to do:

1. Social Bookmarking Sites
2. Article Distribution
3. Press Releases
4. Blog Commenting
5. RSS Feeds
6. Guest Blogging

[forest l]

Backlinks works only if they are relevant to a linking website, otherwise search engines penalized the website sooner or later. look carefully the quality of backlink rather than quantity of backlinks.If you get back links from high PR pages then only your back links can be powerful.

[strategic seo services]

The most powerful links are those that are dofollow, originate from a page/site with a high PR (greater than 6), and have your targeted keyword in the URL of the page that the backlink is placed on (or contextual). To make this link even more powerful, build backlinks to the URL with your keyword as anchor text (by social bookmarking, blog commenting, etc).

Bigger in which sense, the amount of traffic it generates?
