What's the best link building strategy?

Hey Alex - Isn't great marketing essentially great content at the core?

Successful marketing campaigns usually begin with fresh and unique content (ads, sales pages, etc.) to attract customers - and sell product.

Thanks

Sure! But you can't expect that visitors will come in naturally just because you write great content. You have to build links, distribute articles or do social media marketing or paid advertising. In other words, you have to sell your great content, otherwise nobody will find it.

It's consistency.

Whether you choose
- guest posting
- blog commenting
- profile links
- forum links
- article marketing
- reciprocal
- link bait

etc, etc.

The idea is to make sure you keep doing a little bit each day.
Works for me anyway.

Thanks

Writing something deliberately with the anticipation that it will get linked to by as many people/sites as possible.

Can be just about anything really.
free software
informative article
pictures
video's etc...

Anything you can create that people will want to link to.

Thanks

I am not a fan of blog commenting because 100's of people "spam" (yes thats the word) comments on an article to get a backlink, imagine an article getting 300+ comments and the OBL includes adult, baby, parenting niches...
End result - You're sharing link juice with a p0rn website.

blog commenting & forum profiles & Do follow Social Bookmark links - Gives big SERP boost fast. But all links will not be permanent over time, so you have to continue doing monthly or etc. Weight of the backlinks decrease over time (due to deletion of profiles, blog comments removal, page get spammed,etc)

Article marketing - Long term backlinks, weight of the backlink increases over time (Articles referred by other sites, propagation, etc).

So, build all types of links. Each type has it's own pros and cons!

  Some social bookmarking sites are do follow and some are no follow.
  
  example : stumbleupon is no follow, diigo is do follow
  
  In the social book marking tool http://www.socialmarker.com you can distinguish some dofollow sb sites and no follow sb sites

I'm totally agree with facebloggers point of view. You should build all types of links. You should continuing link building with all these ways consistently. But make quality links and build your links with those sites that having a good PR in the search engine.

Concentrate on...
-The variety of links (different kinds of links)
-The quantity (lots of links, if possible)
-The quality (links on high-PR pages and -sites)

Blog commenting, forum profiles and social bookmarkings work, but they are extremely low-quality links, so you want to get a lot of those kinds links if you want them to affect your site.

Article marketing is better, at least if you submit articles on high-quality directories, since the links are in-content.

Blog network links are some of my favourite kinds of links, since they are fairly easy to get (if you are part of a good, paid network) and they're even better than article marketing links.

I build links in tiers.

Tier 1

First tier consists of 'relatively authority sites' - this includes web 2.0 (SENUKE/ RankBuilder), the better article directories (EzineArt, GoArt, Art.Dashboard etc.) a few paid blog networks, press releases, videos (I should do this more often; checkout Jonathan Teng's video software), high PR blog commenting (if the page itself has high PR, not the domain/homepage) and some profile links. I've done software submissions a couple of times (PADBot from BigMike) but should do that more often.

Tier 2
The second tier consists of not so authority sites - mass article distribution (AMR, UAW, NPP etc.), mass bookmarking (BM demon, SENUKE), Scrapebox, profile links, more web 2.0.

Tier 3
And then RSS submissions from all the components of the two tiers. And then BLE (Steve Aylor), BLB (Sean Donahoe) and SLS (Simple Leveraging Systems) that also act as a tier 3/4.

BTW, I only do all these things once the domains are aged a few months and already ranking in the first 10 pages. Some domains don't dance however many backlinks I build in a short period; some domains dance even if I build a single link (esp if they are from authority sites). But if they are articles from authority sites that I'm trying to rank, I'll do a full blown campaign right from day 1.

What you will find is that the main problem is NOT building links, but getting them indexed. That's what tier 3/4 is about!

Another important thing! The stronger your on page SEO, the less stronger your off page SEO can be!

Checkout my sig for a free diagram. No I'm NOT promoting my WSO, it's closed for good

BTW, I'm soon going to switch to Magic Submitter and cancel my SENUKE and RankBuilder subscriptions. I read a lot of good things about it.

It seems to be a great strategy and I will surely try it out

Thanks,

Build good onsite SEO for the page you are going to build links to first. Then consistently build a diverse stream of links to that page. I think in the long run that is the best strategy just keep it simple and work a bit each day.

I think before doing those promotional methods, you must first start improving the look and quality of your web page. Perhaps give your site an edgy web design that will attract a lot of visitors. Also consider to write a compelling content for your pages. The content and the design must work together so your visitors won't waste their time surfing in a web page with useless information.
