How to Get "Quality" One Way Links

[wboster]

From what I understand, quality of one way links is now better than quantity. Correct me if I'm wrong.

For example, if you want to rank for the keyword "trout fishing" it would be beneficial to have a contextual link on another site with the page title "trout fishing in minnesota." Having a few quality links like this from websites with some page rank would be better than having hundreds or thousands of links from directories with multiple outgoing links on each page.

It completely makes sense to me why quality would be better in the eyes of the SERPs than quantity.

Now the question I want to discuss.......

How do you get these quality one way links?

Some ideas:
pay for them
have a blogger review your site (usually paid)
submit article to an authority site in your niche

I'd appreciate some more thoughts on this.

Thanks
Wes

All method mentioned are useful. Yes, it is true that quality is more effective than quantity but still quantity is more important and has an edge...

Submit today your site to pages that have no PR and when these pages updated with PR, still useful to you.

It is hard to get quality backlink from directories so I suggest blog commenting to popular posts is a good choice.

You can also post comments on do follow blogs and forums, but ensure that these are not spam comments for the sake of it. Personally I find posting on do follow blogs in a similar niche to my own site very effective.

I totally agree... though my PR is still low due to penalty after posting my partner links at homepage, my links are rapidly growing due to posting on dofollow forums and blogs... I never spend any penny on links.

Hi,

yes if your doing this for free & its workinh then thats good, but its a better way to, because when you pay for them you dont necessarily get PR increased. but promte your page & then you will easily get those one-way links, use social networks etc too.

Most social bookmarks are nofollow. Of course you can pay for links but I think it's better to pay for someone to build links for you.

Links from blogs are great, as we all know these are regularly indexed and crawled by the search engines!

[lelaiskandar]

Write something controversial, amusing, outrageous or offensive about the subject.

Then go to a few famous blogs related to the subject, and be the first to comment on the blog's latest post. I"ll go for blogs with do-follow link or has some sort of link love plugin on their comment section.

I will also pay for reviews & having it bookmarked at social bookmarking sites to get some links to my article (just make sure you go under the radar). Of course, send it to reddit, digg etc.

If your article is outrageous or amusing enough, one way links will come.

Great info.

lelaiskandar, Where do you find bloggers that will review your site or article?

[MommyEnterprises]

I try to create incoming links by forum posts such as this one, leaving comments on blogs and any other ways I can leave a link. When I leave comments on others blogs, I am hoping they will return to my blog and return the favor.

Killer content always gets you great links. Have some quality, targeted content and contact other site owners asking them to link to you, or offer to let them use your content as long as they give you credit and link back.

Definitely correct...
Some of my articles need not to get promoted for people are always asking me if they can republish some of my content.. I said yes as long as I have my link back..

[harleydavidsons]

I use program Pr Backlink generator for comment blogs.
it help me to make more traffic very good.

[tommen]

Having a blog with useful content will get people to link to it.Also, try commenting on other related blogs no matter if it is "no follow" or not.If you post a really good comment people will visit your site anyway.Forums are also great for getting links back to your site.Be sure to use keywords in your link.Using Web2.0 techniques is a free way to get almost instant targeted traffic to your site.

[internetmarketer99]

Keep in mind that hi-PR blogs usually have that high pagerank only on their home (index) page, so when that post or comment rolls off the front page, most of the link value goes with it.

I'm not suggesting blog posting and commenting for links is a bad idea, just be aware that your comment on a high-PR blog will probably not appear on the page with the high page rank, and even if it does, it will likely roll off long before that pagerank funnels to you.

Links from free press release websites are also powerful links. Run a search on Google for "free press release submission" or "submit press release" and look over the websites that come up. There are a lot of free press release distribution websites online. When you write your release include a link back to your website. One that I like is www.pressreleasespider.com.

Wboster,

I used to go to digitalpoint (Link Sales Forum) to buy reviews.

Be selective and check those blogs before you buy. I'd rather have 1 or 2 quality links from an established blog than have 100 junk reviews/articles from blogs specifically made by the owners just that he can make money selling reviews.

Another less common way it to offer your article to other bloggers. I have had a few of my articles re-published by other bloggers just because they found it amusing. Just make sure they link back to yours as the original one. If you can get this, your incoming link quality can be very high (you control the keywords etc).

[wboster]

Keep the ideas coming.

lelaiskandar, what is a fair price to pay for a quality blogger review?

[flashgordon]

I would agree, posting comments on relevant blogs and forums is great. So are using free press release sites (here is a list of free press release sites for promotion uses). Press releases are good because since you write the release, the page usually has the keywords you are targeting, thus making the links (yours) coming from it even better. There are also some social bookmarking sites that are still do-follow that can help.

[AlexS]

Press releases are great because you can include anchor text links within the body of the release. To take this to the next level, start building links to your press release page. This way, Google will start to place more weighting on your press release (and it's links to your site!) You can also do this for articles you submit. Remember that the search engines follow links from more than just 1 level above your site, so build links to you your incoming links pages for extra juice.

I totally agree with you. Though I have limited time doing article promotion, I do not forget submitting my release to the lists at least once per week.

There are too many free press release sites you can use..

How do you decide what informattion to use for a press release. I feel like I don't have anything newsworthy for release.

[isha1234]

You can get one way backlinks through social bookmarking, forum posting, blog comments, article and directory submission, hub pages. and press release.

[uoftenwinny]

Quality links depends on contents I think, if contents are original or fresh, it really do good for links.

[SarahMcCrary]

Quality link building has a great impact in SEO. It's way to better having quality links redirecting to your website than having bulky submissions that almost looks suspicious and spammy. Submit articles in web 2.0 websites and build a pyramid. Bookmark them in high PR social bookmarking website and you can have quality backlinks to your website. You don't have to pay penny for this.

Paid link always consider as unethical way to improve your SERP.
One way linking by commenting,blogging,article marketing preferable.

[msu]

Surprised no one's mentioned guest posting - that's a good way to get one way links back to your site. You can get a link in your bio and, if you have a relevant page on your site, another link within the guest post itself.

[tbtb123]

Focus on being NATURAL, Google hates unnatural spammy links and can even penalize because of that.
If you need help finding an authorized natural place to place your backlink, let me know ...

Absolutely.

Guest blogging is a SOLID strategy.

Go to Google and type in

<keyword> "write for us"
<keyword> "guest blog"

..etc etc

Dont be afraid to advertise yourself on your own site (as a guest writer).

[webdevpro]

All methods that don't require any reciprocal links are considered as good way to build one way links. This include but not limited to web directories, forums, blog commenting, guest posting, sometimes press releases also and so on.

[fmac]

I was wondering the same thing? Pretty hard in my industry to get them as most cleaning services never check and approve there blogs.

[mrsvirtualassistant]

If you want to get one way links, write quality content that is worth sharing. Submit your website to major directories. Send out press releases and leave comments on high Page Rank sites and blogs. Syndicate your content to other sites.
