Ten Best Sites To Link From (Easily) In 2015?

I am asking this question because I see the same old replies to questions, anyone asking about how to get good off-page SEO will be told all the same sorts of things.

Article writing sites, web 2.0 sites, blog comments, guest posts, etc. Thing is, most of the article writing sites aren't even indexed on Google, and the ones that haven't been punished to death have extremely strict standards, which means you can't just write an article for a link, or even look like for a second you made the link for that reason.

I've basically given up on SEO, even though it's my main source of traffic, (I already have clients who I'm doing work for), but I am interested in learning some simple ways of giving a boost to any sites or pages I make.

I don't want to work for hundreds of hours, just looking for ten names of sites, with a dot com where I can get links that don't actually work in reverse. Or, the exact method for how to find relevant sites.

Are you kidding? Not one reply? This is what everyone wants to know, isn't it?

    It's really not a very well thought out question, and that is probably why you got no response.

    If you are doing SEO right, there are going to be different link sources depending on the type of niche you are working in. The only exception to that would be some general business directories that I use on almost every project.

    And if there was a real answer to your question, people would be stupid to just list out some of their best link sources publicly on a forum like this.

    The best sites won't be easy to link from...

    But I understand what you are asking. Not all niches have sites that are great to link out from, or easy to do so. There is always blogger outreach, but that can take time... If you are in such a niche that's hard to link from then you've got to find some options. The truth of the matter is that you want to explore your niche and find relevant 'hubs.' By hubs, I mean popularized sources of discussion, places where people gather. Then start there.

    Even if the links are nofollow and won't directly do much for your SEO, they give you exposure and can (should) generate some traffic. Building on that, if the site you are linking to is actually worth linking to, often times you will find organic link production over time. Sometimes it's immediate, sometimes it's not.

    Then start building on that... develop some relationship and move from there.

    And if you don't want to do that but are rather just looking for a 'quick hit' and a 'fast link' then we aren't really talking the same language anyways.

    Sure but you are assuming two things which makes the question a disaster waiting to happen

    a) What everyones wants must exist
    b) if you got an answer in an open forum the answer would be a good one (in reality those ten sites would turn in to junk overnight being spammed to death).

    Due to google cracking down on link spam anyone who is still looking for easy and simple should probably get out of SEO and pursue other traffic models. SEO is not the only way you can go.

    I just agree with OP..Things now really get so harder and harder these day..Getting quality links is very time consuming..The articles directories lost their effectiveness and some have strict standards. It even need days to get an article approved by ezine articles..

    Creating web 2.0 for getting back links also need lot of manual work and also need time to gain authority before they pass any benefit to your site.

    Finding blogs in your niche and writing quality content for them in return of a back link is an other headache...

    With New updates automated software also lost there effectiveness...

    Yes seo, now seems to be boring..

    So, In my view social media is the easiest source of getting traffic. If you have the right audience

    I've got a great link source I'll share because I know very few people here can can get the links.
    • Mommy blogs
    • Craft blogs
    • Hobby blogs
    • Design blogs
    • etc...

    ...easy links that stick for years.

    These types of sites build tons of resource list blog post that include lots of niche traffic.

    Example link flow:
    • Hobby site/link > Hobby buffer site/link > Money site/page

    ...or monetize the niche traffic where the link is coming from.
    • Hobby site/link > Money site/page

      Thats not the OP's Idea of easy. You can tell from the list he just gave that he means - links you leave yourself in a minute or two

        Digg? Websites are like IM gurus. They live on and on in infamy and get name dropped even if they haven't done squat in years.

        99% of his list wasn't links for SEO. It was nofollow junk.

        The baseline for SEO is the link is at least followed.

          Hmmm. What about the Google SEO patent discussing how unlinked "mentions" are used as a ranking factor.

          Or, if your hundred billion dollar SEO empire is originally built on counting links, and an unbelievable percentage of those links become "no follow" for spam protection, what do you count? Admittedly speculating, I'd say Google's statement a "no follow" link does not pass PageRank is not equivalent to a statement a no follow link is completely irrelevant to SEO.

            This thread is about links, not the other 100s of ranking factors.

            Nofollow links will not rank a page.

              OK. And the SEO influence of a "link" is not limited to PageRank. You conceded that.

              So your prior post doesn't make sense:

              99% of his list wasn't links for SEO. It was nofollow junk.

              The baseline for SEO is the link is at least followed.
              When there are multiple ranking factors which can be impacted by a link, only one of which is PageRank, then dismissing his list as "nofollow junk" with zero SEO impact is hasty and not accurate.

              Additionally, when considering link profiles and whether one desires a certain percentage of nofollow versus regular links - whatever that link profile is - obtaining select "no follow" links becomes not junk but rather an important part of one's overall SEO strategy.

                Your right, go rank your pages with nofollow links.

                You might want to study up and come back. Pagerank is not the only thing that is not passed through a nofollow link. He is neither hasty nor inaccurate. Nofollow was designed and invented to make sure webmasters cold deny benefit to links they chose to. Any one wanting to say they decided to "shucks give the benefit anyway" needs to bring some proof. The claim has been made here for years by various people and they all fell flat providing any.

                Additionally, when considering link profiles and whether one desires a certain percentage of nofollow versus regular links - whatever that link profile is - obtaining select "no follow" links becomes not junk but rather an important part of one's overall SEO strategy.
                .
                A) there is no "certain percentage of no follow" that must be met
                B) any diverse link building will result in no follow links so there is no reason to go out and look for them to build on. That must have been in some WSO awhile back why so many newbs to SEO keep claiming that.

                So nope not important

    You want "easy" links from authority sites? Save yourself some cash and go for contextual links from Mashable, Wired, Huffingtonpost, Entrepreneur etc... Those links can be all bought.

    Hello,

    If you want to index your sites to google, first of all add your site to search engines.
    Index your site to social media sites. Then you can find dofollow forums in google.
    Search good PR ranked forums to post and get your site indexed.

    Thanks ...

    No follow links will rank a site, the people at Google even say that themselves, and I saw a thread in this section years ago about how a guy ranked sites using only no follow links. It's natural looking, fifty home page back links to a commercial site is not natural looking.
