Should you wait a few months to build backlinks to a new niche site?

Add content then build links. Red flag if you're building links to a site with no content (ie. who's going to share or link to a site with not content?).. I mean you can still build backlinks just don't go crazy with it and similar to your content start small and scale up over time. Ideally what works for me is building trust first, by posting content every day. Then once my new content starts getting indexed fast, I start building backlinks faster/harder.

Here's the way i go about it, which should also save you a bit of cash:

Rather than creating a load of content for each site, only to then spend time on money backlinking it, and not getting it to rank. Instead, create 1 piece of content for each site which will be the home page. Set up your privacy, about us, and contact us pages, but your only valuable piece of content will be the homepage. Start backlinking it immediately.....as soon as it's published. Don't worry about penalties etc, i've done this with hundreds of sites and never had an issue. Don't suddenly blast 100,000 scrapbox comments in one day, start of slow and steady with whatever back linking solution you choose. I typically start of with a few hundred social bookmarks,directory listings, and article blasts. So a few hundred submissions each day for a few days, then scale your backlinking up a bit from then on.

Typically, after about 5 days, i'd expect to see that my site has been indexed, and i'd expect to see it within the first few pages of google. I only then expand the site with more content once it's ranked within the first 2 pages.

It will not raise flags if you do it the right way.

First you can add it to directories - it is slow , because approving your listings and indexing them will take a while (from few days to few weeks)so you don`t need to worry about doing it to fast.Do it for about 1 week.

After that sign to as many social bookmarking sites as you can , use firefox addthis addon.
Create a blog to every website , if your website are not blogs .

Share every new post on social bookmarking sites (1-2 weeks).
Create Twitter , Pinterest , Linkedin and FB profile.
Share this posts on them as well (1 week).
Post comments on good blogs(1 week).

Your backlinks will be like a planted seeds ,it will take a bit time to grow.
You have built some foundations.
After that you can use some automated tools , backlink bulders, etc.
Google just needs to see constant,steady increase of amount your backlinks.

You don't need to wait with building links, you can start right away, even if it's just a blank page, Google won't penalize you for it. Just make sure to avoid all the spam and cancel that worthless membership, all the info is here for free.

Hi Matt, You and me are similar. I have been researching internet marketing for years but only recently started putting what I learned into action, too.

I suggest you build you sites with contents and well-optimized OnPage SEO first and do internal linking system well. Let Google index them naturally by submitting your sites to GWT. Then start building links after 2-3 months of launching. One of my EMD ranking #1 with only 1 page with high-quality content. Beating several aged, well-established websites for that keyword. I just have 2 websites, 1 PR7 and 1 PR6, pointing to that EMD. That's it.

No reason to wait on building backlinks.

I don't see a reason to wait, just don't be too forward out of the gate with the number you build. Start small, and build toward larger amounts as time goes on.

Today EMD is not that weigh much on search engine, though they help but it's not like before. You can build links but in a minimum counts, it will only raise red flag if you are blasting a thousand links in a day.

bro, I have one article (including the anti spam, contact, privacy, disclaimer, term of use pages) on a few (4) of my Adsense websites and they are one pages 1 and two (and I haven't start making social bookmarks, web 2.0 and the other common backlinks yet), so I don't think that content is such a big deal when you're just starting to rank your websites. Even though I know that my websites will rank alot better with two or more articles.


I start ranking my websites as soon as the an articles is use as the front page.

Just start by creating a few number of backlinks to your site, for instance, if your site is a few days old, start with 3-5 links per day and increase the number of backlinks with time. Bookmarking your newly created pages is the key to get indexed. Make sure you stay consistent and add quality content to the site...

On one of my sites (sig link one) I am trying simply not othering to build links for the first 6 months at least and concentrating on content only.

Traffic has gone from zero to several hundered a day now without building a single link.

GOOD EDUCATIVE QUESTION YES ...GET VALUABLE CONTENT POSSIBLE GETTING YOUR PAGES ON TOO THEN START YOU BACKLINKS AND BY THIS TEXT ANCHORING COULD BE POSSIBLE ALL IN A STEADY PACE AND NOTHING IS STOPPING YOUR BACKLINK BUILDING @ THE INSTANT YOU GET YOUR CONTENT RUNNING

I usually add some initial content (3-5 articles), wait for them to be indexed (maybe help it with some social bookmarks), and then start proper link building.

If you don't blast the site with unnecessarily large amounts of links, you should be good.

Nope, don't worry about building links to fast. Just build quality links.

Don't spam your website with Xrumer blast or anything like that.

Keep it slow and steady, preferably contextual links.

Yes you can build your links from the moment you have provided content on your site.And try to update or add content frequently and without spamming.There is no way you cannot build links to a new site.Expose your content and start your work.
