Frustrated - I Hate Link Building

Word of advise, if you plan to do niche marketing and built tons of small sites in easy to dominate markets than automation is the key.

I would look into investing in something like Senuke, Drippable, etc so your link building efforts can be hands off for the most part.

That leaves only keyword research and content creation to think about.

Or you can outsource it

You can check this article on How To Find Free Unlimited Backlinks For Your Blog this article shows you how to find high pr blogs that you can use for your projects.

I don't know much about outsourcing. Do you use VAs through Odesk or do you just buy certain Fiverr gigs or what?

Would be really interested to hear any tips. At this point I'd rather use the money I'm making each month to outsource. But when I think about outsourcing I picture myself having to spend hours explaining to others how to do things.

How do ya'll not get frustrated with this stuff?

It seems it would be useful to see what you've done with your site that is making 700 a month. If you didn't do a backlink campaign for it and are getting natural links to your site, then analyze what makes the quality of that site better than the others. There is no question that backlinking can be very tedious to do. It looks like you are good at keyword research and that is the foundation really, so I agree with others that you'd do better to find people to do the other tasks. If you do use wordpress there are plugins you can use for socialbookmarking and posting on twitter that can automate some of the process for you.

Creating backlinks is alot of work. It's alot of man hours.Outsourcing would best if you don't have the passion.It simply takes time to get ranked and the rewards will flow. The good thing is that you at least made some money. Most stories with niche I've heard otherwise. Goodluck!

Outsourcing is always going to be a nice option if you're lazy to build links by yourself. I used to outsource some work to others due to my lack of time in building these links, coz' I have a family local business to handle. Always find top notch guys who do well with their services.

I agree with this totally! Figuring out good keywords and building the site are a lot of fun, but mindlessly making backlinks is... not so much fun.

You feel overwhelmed because you have too many sites. Focus on one then move to the next. I can focus on more because I have resources and patience. I can go months without seeing a return and emotionally feel fine. Change how you work according to your emotional needs. If you need a sense of satisfaction to keep moving forward, then seeing success by focusing on one at a time will help. You don't trust the system. You feel like it won't help when you never give it a chance. Just my opinion.

@boxoun

I think you're right. I'm not trusting the system and I may be getting a little ahead of myself. I can keep up with the content and creation, but not the backlinking.

Just gotta figure out how to best outsource this or if I should buy tools like SENukeX or BMR or what.

Thanks guys.

agree, blog commenting is always awaiting moderation if not so many OBL's
create a profile links (is this any good?)

but it has to be done, any good outsourcer?

The best thing you can do is to outsource your linkbuilding process. And i can help you with that thing. Hire a VA to do linkbuilding for you. You will have more time to do more things.

Try Out Se-Nuke For blast of back-linking or you can out source at o-desk. :-).
Se-Nuke is so simple in use and not so costly.

It seems that your linkbuilding strategy is a little bit-off or kinda weak. 3 web 2.- blogs will provide little or probably no link juice at all. You can outsource your work and have them done by SEO professionals. In 2-3 months time, you will surely dominate the top spot in the search engines.

Well, i just really have to agree with everyone else here who suggested the option of outsourcing. If you think about it, you should not do all these activities yourself, as you need to focus on more important things so that will really earn you a good profit. As such, you should be able to duplicate yourself especially when it comes to link building

I would be very curious to know some outsourcing strategies. As a chiropractic clinic we are not very keen on link building and have way to many other tasks to worry about.

Is there reputable companies to contact?

Are there good individuals to contact?

It seems there is so much crap built around linkbuilding and you don't every know who to trust. For example, I want to build relevant links, not just random comments on every single blog that will allow it. My gut tells me that this will be penalized in later google updates.

Thanks!

Most links that can be 'built' aren't worth the effort to get them.

With outsourcing of linkbuilding - if you want quality - pay for quality.

Yeah creating backlinks IS a pain!! However, you are already doing a lot of the hard work by selecting good keywords! So many people come to me wanting me to create backlinks for them but they have the worst keywords in the world!!

So, if you have good keywords just outsource the backlinks!! I can do it for you or there are several other guys here on the WF that would be glad to help you out!

I think outsourcing is your best solution. There are many good link builders who can help you in link building.

Please IM me if you are looking for outsource. Yes It may may cheap from others.

The $700/mo site is a very tight niche. There's nothing really to explode to. I put up about 10 articles and that is literally the extent of that subject. It is just sitting there making me money. I don't think I've done anything but check the ranking in the past 4 weeks.

I would love to pick just 1 site and focus there. But the odds of choosing 1 niche that is going to make me $300/day (as someone who has been IMing for 2-3 months) is not good. Not to mention, I hate off-page seo as it is now and I'm in markets with no competition. I can't imagine how much off-page seo I would have to do in markets WITH competition.

I'd love to pursue this more, but don't really have a clue where to start. Large(r) markets intimidate me.

So do I..I really hate link building..It's boring,make me tired and make me frustrated if it doesn't work..But..Even though I hate it very much but i always do it..You know why..? Because it's my job as internet marketer..So..Just enjoy it as process toward success..And your earning is good enough..All you have to do know is be patient..keep doing link building..I'm sure you'll get the result soon..Good luck,Dude..

If one of your sites earns $700 per month and your main keyword is ranked no.3 then why not just focus on that one site first and try and nail the no.1 spot, as well as getting ranked for other keywords. The formula is obviously working for that site 'so' squeeze what you can out of it.

I feel for you, currently i am doing link building but this was because i saw my rankings and ROI go down, i think you should look at link building as an opportunity for you to get back to the first page of google, the feeling of fulfillment is unmatched when you get back to that page 1. What i did though is i outsourced article writing in order to give me more time in building backlinks.

As they say the first step is always the hardest, once you overcome that, you then start beating yourself over why you never did it yourself

Hi
You need to consider buying scrapebox for finding high pr blog pages to comment on. As for the comments, I am getting good lift even from the low pr pages blog commenting, but manually. Do not use automatic tools or panda will eat your site like bamboo.
I can't pm yet, or I will tell you my complete linking strategy to rank for medium comp. keywords.

Just make a simple plan and stick to it. You can do same things for every blog, so after some time you will do everything fast and without stress. Sometimes this can be very boring, but this is what we do.

Did anyone actually try or check this list?

Outsource the stuff you hate and do the stuff you like! I will pay in the end.

So 34$ for 15 links? WTF.. :rolleyes:

Seriously how to do people like "Ron Hitson" and "Justin Lewis" get traffic to their sites?

In literally every thread you post in, especially Ron Hitson he only says "link building is bad" or "omg you dont need to build links" wtf? seriously how does one just make a website with "killer content" or w/e you call it and expect traffic to come to you? How do you "explode" your site? You throw around these words all the time in every post but you never ACTUALLY explain anything. You know what that is? A waste of space on the forum.

Both of you keep saying you get traffic and build links at the same time.. ok. HOW? Do you post a status on your fb wall? maybe post a spammy twitter tweet or something? Seriously I'm sick and tired of people posting things that go against the grain, and then never back it up. Justin Lewis keeps posting about social this social that. What are you writing topics about **** teens are interested in and posting it to Digg or something? Or Answering yahoo answer questions or something? Stop blatantly advertising the **** in your signature.

Post how you "get traffic" to your site. If you don't target "low hanging fruit" then how the hell else are you going to rank for something?

This post will probably get deleted but whatever. I'm sick and tired of how crappy this forum has gotten with both spammers posting one line posts that literally have nothing to do with the OP or are "I like this information much very" written by a person who clearly doesn't know english.

You know what works OP? Building web 2.0 properties. Getting high PR homepage links, doing guest posts on relevant blogs. Join BMR, its amazing. Join a network that distributes your articles. Link building sucks, I know. I outsource it to someone in some third world country for pennies.

i say don't use crap link building strategies
like blog comment and profil backlink

i can help you do link building see at my thread http://www.warriorforum.com/warriors...marketers.html

You're making $700 a month and you can't be bothered to outsource? How/when do you expect your business to get better without outsourcing? It's the next logical step and should be done as soon as you can afford it.

Then you'll start an exponential growth. If you wanna go cheap (if maybe you're using some of that 700 for bills etc) check out Sick Submitter. It's extremely powerful but it takes a lot of time to run and set everything up. So you can do a lot of work and have mass diversity but you're going to have to put time in where as if you paid someone to backlink you just manage, no time. In my experience piddly hand backlinking is not worth the time it takes to do it unless you have some valuable high pr bl's, which obv you should do by hand.

So I suppose it depends on your time/money.

here is a strategy.

Take the time and trouble to build up an effective Link network.

This could be a simple as to set up Tumblr, WordPress.com, postureous, hubpages, squidoo Lenses, Facebook pages, and maybe a few other web 2.0 properties.

Once you have settled this link network you can create or curate, content that is appropriate.

Place the content on your premium domain and take the feed URL and submit it to a feed aggregator.

(In fact you can take the feed URLs from their all your properties and create a ‘mix ‘.)

Whether you use the mix or just the blog feed, take the URL created, and submit it to ping.FM.

You can create another round of social profiles for that ping account and ping.fm will automatically post to those profiles whenever new content is uploaded or found in the feed.

PS if you use a rss footer plugin you can place a suitably formatted anchor text link into the footer of your feed.... hint hint..
