      The best way to get backlinks is NOT to do any of that! They are all spam and if they work, they only do in the very short term. Get some real backlinks that are editorially and freely given by other sites because your content is linkable. One of those links is worth 1000's of the above low quality links.

        I totally disagree. Blog comments still work as long as you find do-follow blogs relevant to your niche and if their not full of spam. If you know what you are doing these are easy to find.

        Second, submitting articles to article directories is a great way to build backlinks. If you have one great written article it could go viral on you and many sites will post your article with a link back to your website. Create web 2.0 properties (squidoo, hubpages, and etc..) with good unique content. Also, Press Releases can also help you get tons of backlinks. Google loves Social Media websites so create a facebook fan page, twitter, and youtube channel and get a lot of Google love from them. Lastly, if you are active in forums relevant to your niche meet the forums guidelines and post your signature.

        If you can, create a Wikipedia page about your business.

        These are all great backlink techniques and can stick long term. I have had large success with many keywords on the first page using these techniques from high competitive keywords to even low competitive keywords.

          Personally, I think guest posting is the best way to get backlinks. Become an expert in your niche and guest post on some blogs. Prove that you are an expert and you will be rewarded.

          You obviously missed the test over on Daniel M site when he tested blog commenting. It did not make any difference.

          Is your site so bad, that the only way you can get links is by blog commenting and posting in forums?

                Sure ...

                Pick a term ... you setup a new wp blog - on page it any way you want, and you go get 1 backlink from any "ONE" authority site you want.

                Then I will create a new blog and on page it any way I want, and go get thousands [ you said it not me ] backlinks from all over. Then we can see who ranks higher in the serps for the term.

                Correct, this would be a very good backlink. However, you can not and should not rely on soly that to build your website to the top of the serps. However, like I said earlier in this thread, articles are a great way to build backlinks.

                If you find relevant blogs to your niche and provide good quality content showing your knowledge of the topic would not be considered crap links. Its all about how good the person is building these backlinks. A lot of them are crap and most of those are on spammy sites anyways.

          These are links that other sites give to you freely becasue they want to becasue they think your site is actually worth linking to, not because you did some self promotion. If you were a search engine, which links would you give the most link juice to?

          For one of my blogs, I recently got links from newspapers in Seattle and Toronto in the context of a news story, I assume because of the quality of the comments I made about the topic. How valuable do you think those links are in the eye of the search engines?

        Even if those methods do provide only short-term benefits directly, wouldn't they at least provide a basis for long-term indirect benefits by getting the word out initially about your content?

        I would think that if those methods get your site to the 1st page on Google SERPS for say a month, that might be long enough to get your site the exposure it needs so that ppl will read it, remember it, and possibly link to it months later after your site has dropped off the 1st page. So in this scenario, those "spammy" methods might've actually helped get legit backlinks over the long-run.

    Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Quality links to your site


    It's important to clarify that any legitimate link building strategy is a long-term effort. There are those who advocate for short-lived, often spammy methods, but these are not advisable if you care for your site's reputation. Buying PageRank-passing links or randomly exchanging links are the worst ways of attempting to gather links and they're likely to have no positive impact on your site's performance over time. If your site's visibility in the Google index is important to you it's best to avoid them.

    Directory entries are often mentioned as another way to promote young sites in the Google index. There are great, topical directories that add value to the Internet. But there are not many of them in proportion to those of lower quality. If you decide to submit your site to a directory, make sure it's on topic, moderated, and well structured. Mass submissions, which are sometimes offered as a quick work-around SEO method, are mostly useless and not likely to serve your purposes.
    I find it hard to believe you're getting 1000 backlinks quickly like everybody on here claims to do, in a "non-spammy", "legitimate" way.

    This is from June, 2010. I don't think you can get much more current than that.

      There is no such thing.

      My "content" has been added to hundreds of sites whose home "page" was pr 3.

          I never said anything about those. My point was, in the eyes of google, quality > quantity. As stated.

          And I said that was enough for me.

          Trying? For? I'd much rather practice SEO the correct way in the eyes of the search engines. I mean the quality > quantity argument, isn't even an argument. Most SEO rules and ideas are cut and dry. They are clearly stated. It's up to the practicing individual if they want to follow them.

          The fact that you don't believe in "content" pretty much ends the discussion.

            When practitioners mentioned about quality contents on an individual's website,

            Does it mean that the content must be refreshingly new every week? Month?

            This part can be a bit mis-construed for novices.

              I feel there is a difference between "quality" content, and "freshness" of content. Both of which are good. As far as a set time frame, I have yet to see anything announced.

                Thanks miller,

                Ah yes, at the same time, I'm curious about this Wikipedia creation page.

                By actually stamping our authority on that specific niche (via genuine entries to one's own wiki's page), will that somehow provide link juice to an individual's main site?

                I find this method to be quite intriguing.

    A lot of the responses to Mayorlan question are good.

    However here is my bit; Commenting can be tedious and sometimes unproductive not all administrators allow/accept comments, do follow blogs in your niche can be difficult to find but do it any way you might get lucky. Please when leaving a comment contribute to the community. A comment like "great article I will certainly follow your blog" is unacceptable by me. Either ask a question related to the post or add to the post. I think most other admins feel the same.

    When creating your links via article directories, web 2.o properties, forums etc. Please don't spam, it looks bad on you as an author. The key thing is give, contribute. You are not just creating links your are also building brand recognition, trust and hopefully traffic.

    I saw where some recommended creating quality content for link building/link baits. Speaking as a person who is constantly plagiarized. Tell those who recommend that you depend on others to link back to your articles or to ethically re use your articles. Tell them to wake up and get real. 9 out of 10 times will some one else link back to the original article most other times they re-use your whole article (with out giving credit to the original) or they change a few lines to seem original. Nonetheless always create quality content.

    I hope this helps.

    After locating the sites that are related to your keywords, send an e-mail requesting them to become your backlink partner. Use editorial promotion by writing articles & submitting them to editorial directors for publication. This is a great way to have one-way links to your page.

    I am new to affiliate marketing and working hard right now to learn the regularities.

    I was watching a page with 200+ backlinks, all from totally irrelevant sites. Most of those links are from crappy comments on sites full of spam comments. In the run of about 3 weeks, that page kept fluctuating from page 10 to page 1 in Google results. But now it is already more than a month since it settled steadily in No 1 position in Google . And that for a really good keyword.

    What does this say about the blog commenting being worthless?

    Another guy has only a bunch of 70 backlinks, all from forum profiles with a total ground zero contribution to any of those forums. The site has been taken away long since but the domain still ranks No 1 in Google for a very healthy commercial keyword.

    What do we learn from this about the relevancy and things?

    I assume that it may take looong for Google to develop an algorithm capable of distinguishing between good quality and bad comments, or until Google will learn to banish links from non-contributing forum profiles.

    But for the time being, it still seems that, huh, Link is Link, and posting a quality comment or a crap around the www is more an issue of our personal integrity than SEO related, is it not?
