    These techniques are now become old. Nothing will work. Google Algorithms ruins all these techniques. Focus on your site content is the only way to get started.

      Savi?

      You're giving a wrong thought to the community. Perhaps things didn't work out on you but not for others so that means you must not speak loudly and tell someone asking a question that it's no longer working. Where are you proofs?

    There are still human edited web directories that are still sending good quality links. If you can get a back link from niche targeted directory I am pretty sure they are still sending good link juice.

    Since they are the most spammed sites 5-8 years ago many of them were mark as spammed sites and most of them are not sending much help.

      Stop wasting your time on those old school ways to build backlink. Update yourself and try working with High PR Web 2.0, Social Media and Private Blog Network sites.

      Try this and I am sure this will help you.

        Those methods are not worth it any more. It would be better if you put that effort in building a good quality content instead. The main trouble in today's time is that just creating great content also doesn't guaranty the success in SEO. It has become little more difficult.

        After creating a great content you will have to get it to readers and get some genuine links. I suggest find some good directory related to you niche then post there. Just remember that links are not bad, but links from unrelated sites are bad now-a-day in eyes of google.

        Best of luck with your work friend.

      Great list! I've used/read about 90% of these but it's great to have them all in one list. It makes it very for anyone to get started in link-building. I'll be using this as part of my training for new SEO's at my company! Once I get the time I'll write a blog post and include a link to this for sure!

    If you are submitting your website in a local directory where human provide reviews or any website where editors do complete approval process then it will be good for seo.

    I would say they still do work ONLY for a Tiered Backlink Strategy.

    I would only use these types of links on my Tier 3 Backlinks and on.

    I would never use these types of backlinks for my main site. My money site.

    Learn about Tiered Backlinking and use these types of backlinks only for Tier 2 or 3 and on.

    I hope this helps!

    Keep up the great work!!

    I wish you the best of the best!

    Cheers!

    Backlinks are working effectively but now you have to make natural links. Anyway high pr social bookmarking sites are working effectively..
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9724128].message }}
  • Not anymore if you are using web directories or link exchange thing. Even we arent sure if they are useful if links coming from blogs, articles directories etc... Just try and see...

    Link building strategies do still work but not all of them. Some of them have become obsolete for most savvy SEOs like the one you mentioned (directory submission). Here's a list of currently working strategies:

    - Tiered link building
    - Building PBNs (Private Blog Networks)
    - Reverse engineering
    - Paid links on relevant sites
    - Guest posting

    Yeah there are a lot of confusion. My opinion is not to do any one to one backlink. In this case directory submission is not a good way to do SEO.

    Link building technique is efficient, but you should create backlinks using high PR websites. Other than directory submissions there are various activities like social Bookmarking, blog posting, article posting, business listing etc. that can be helpful in creating backlinks. These activities can help in getting better rank for your website.

    The SEO method above isn't just obsolete but very unpredictable. Google could hammer you and the result is very ineffective.

    The most ideal way to build backlinks now is getting links from high PR sites that are relevant to your niche, low OBL coupled with quality content.

    Woa, directorie submission! just take a look to the main SEO blogs and Forums, you won't find anyone with some SEO knowledge talking about directories. Not even in black hat forums!

    Link building has become a different thing, it's not about the number, it's about the quality, the reputation of a page and the pages linking to that same page, the content surrounding the link, the behavior of users in that page, the traffic the link actually refers to your site...

    Does linkbuilding still work? Of course and just adding content to your site thinking its going to rank is a fallacy. Yeah sure load your website with tons of high quality content, focus on on-site optimization, and then start by manipulating organic link growth.

    Depending on your niche some decent press release would work good.

    Oh! yeah.. most of the warriors recommend web2.0, social media and blogging.
    yes, i do agree with those points, but also note that most of the popular social media will not provide do follow links.
    Focusing on popular social media will drive traffic to targeted web site or blog.

    Contrary to some views, backlinking is NOT DEAD and still plays a key role in SEO strategies. However, what is dead (or need to die) are the methods used to obtain backlinks. Prior to 2012 and before Google Penguin update, backlinking methods involved all sorts of "Wild West" approaches like buying and sell, exchanging or even asking for links to your website, which was all cool with the Google bots back then, even though those link- building strategies were unnatural, spammy and in some cases manipulative.

    Today, however, you need to use new "Penguin-friendly" strategies to EARN backlinks.

    Here are some post-Penguin 3.0 backlink methods that will not get your website "blacklinksted".

    => Develop authority or link-worthy content for your website
    => Create high-quality infographics and marry them with your content
    => Get socially active (Be visible on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ and now even Buffer)
    => Strategize ways to reach out to influential bloggers in your niche via blog commenting and subsequent direct contact
    => Content Syndication, i.e, getting your "quality" content news-fed to other authority sites and visa-versa. I observed a significant rank boost by employing this method.

    Hint: A really cool Google-friendly link-building strategy that is not talked about much is what I call "intra-linking". What's that? Internally linking content on your own pages. Think Wikipedia

    My 2 cents. Hope this helps!

    Directory Submission is not a prefered way of building quality backlinks in now a days. The main issue on directories is that we did't get Link Approvals instantly, it may take upto 5 to 6 weeks. So stop, wasting your time on it.

    Content is the king, if your website have a unique quality content, it rank better in Search Engines.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9736183].message }}
  • Yes definitely these techniques works.Use only effective techniques like Forum posting,Blog posting ,Press release etc for get better results.

    I'd avoid link directories and stick with high authority do follow backlinks from blog comments and also guest blog posts. Some people say you can't find do follow blogs, but they're just not looking hard enough.

    Focus on on-page SEO, if you are working according to Google Algo's, you won't need to build backlinks at all. Better to be on safer side.
