Which Linkbuilding technique is working now after Panda update?

The name of the game seems now to be contextual links. What Google calls editorial link.

Mike..can you please explain them a bit ? I tried to get but ended up vain.

Article marketing is still alive, you can get links through it but every time you need to take a new article and if you want to get more benefit then you need to create link wheel. Contextual llinks only helps you in getting good serp

hey,
I also checked article marketing is still working after the google panda update.

Article marketing is still working well. But you need to get them indexed well.

The Pandas in Town and He's Not Cute and Cuddly

I particularly enjoy that they released that panda update as it puts the hurt on some of the techniques which are being exploited and dirtying up the web. Although many of the techniques which were working in the past are still currently working they simply are not as effective as others are now.

For example contextual links which are embedded within a article of a particular site will be counted higher now compared to sidebar links. So as long as you're distributing content with your links embedded in focusing around distribution of high quality material/information/articles you should be seeing higher rankings and more traffic thanks to panda bear.

Panda is here to punish the copy cat. After panda update it is necessary to submit a fresh, unique and quality content every time. After panda updates my sites are ranked.

All types work as long as you aren't spamming.

-High PR Blog networks
-Guest Posts and Links on Niche Related Sites
-Relevant Blog Comments
-Buying out related domains
-High PR Directories - DMOZ, Yahoo, etc. Yes they still work and are worth it.
-Building out properties on Web2 sites (Wordpress.com, squidoo, hubpages, blogspot etc) and then blasting them with lower quality links like forum profiles, scrapebox, etc.
-A few High PR Permanent Homepage/Links.
-Article Directories and Mass distribution services, so you get more diversity in the IP addresses linking to you.

That's what it takes for me to rank for very tough keywords.

Article marketing does quite well especially if you can get good distribution for your content. The more content you have, the better your serps. The panda has to eat!

If you can index very very well, then it's still a go. But only if you can index this well.

in my opinion all the link building techniques still work. it just that with the panda update google is putting more seo weight into on-page SEO.

I'm doing linkpush and it works well atm

Hi sureshtechendeavour,

I think you have been mislead.

The Panda series of updates targeted poor quality content, not article marketing. Unless you are using poor quality content for your articles, you will still have success with article marketing.

Conversely, if you are using poor quality content for any type of backlinks, you will be negatively effected by the Panda updates. It wasn't restricted to any particular types of backlinks, it effects all backlinks from pages with poor quality content.

If article marketing was dead, my sites would be also, but they are alive and kicking, and breexed through Panda and are still making me a good living. Panda was way more about onsite content as far as I can tell...

After the panda update , one can find the more results that contains the video and content from the social media as well. And with the social media blog, video , social bookmarking , article on social network be more helpful for you to get the more results. But the thing is to provide the quality and meaningful content and also the unique description in the submission.

Articles marketing is not dead. Its working really good for me. But make sure you submit the unique content. However you can use some of the high pr web2.0 properties and make the in content link but unique content is required here as well. But yes sure You can spin the content.

No, I do not agree with you. Article marketing is still rocking. For me, usually, I notice that improvement of SERP after few days of article submitted. I do submit single articles to around 15-20 article directories as well as publish those on my blogs too. That really worked. It is not dead. I can say that, it is one of the best method, ever rocking link building strategy to get improvement in Google SERP.

Anything you can do with article marketing.. But the only thing is that content should be unique.. Even if u used 50-100 article submissions it should be unique..

If you want say that Google panda is against of article marketing then I am not agreeing with you. Google is just to punish duplicate content. Still if you had back links from ezine, e how and wiki articles. Just need to fill the requirement of the site and enjoy article marketing through fresh and best sites

It seems like SENUkeX, AMR, and blog networks still works great post Panda updates.

Quality blog comments and contextual links from high PR sites are working great for me.

Article Marketing is still alive and powerfully alive. If you want to make the best outcome of it then do with quality and unique content and index it well. Try not to submit one article to various places.

I read on few seo chat forums that Blog commenting is a good technique to create back links. Guest Blogging is even a good method for mutual benefit of both Bloggers. Other best way is to submit link in high PR directories.

Article marketing is not dead nor it will die in future. After Panda update, everyone is trying different techniques to keep going with article marketing. I was to submit one article in five directories before panda update and now I am submitting one article in one directory and after approval, I am bookmarking it in some good bookmarking sites. This is helping a lot in improving my keyword rankings and as well as helping me to get some exposure for my submitted articles.

Create one way back links from theme based PR sites. This technique is still helpful

For me, Blog comments and forum posting are working effectively. I am using other methods to just to diversify.
But blog comments and forum posting should be done properly, If spammed your link will disappear in seconds.

This thread is gold. Keep the discussion going man. Would a nested sopun article be counted as unique articles by google?

Just keep your on-page on point and almost any link building will work.

I am agreee with kengperapol talk quality content always work well for me also...............

Article marketing has always been dead for back links, you need to make them useful by sending them links.

Here is a link i found useful after the panda - The Ultimate Post-Panda Link Building Strategy and Mindmap

the same technique that has always worked and will always work, the most natural looking one in the world: lots of DIVERSE links, links comings from several places and a steady stream of them at that, you cant go wrong panda or no panda....

Blog commenting and social bookmarking works well for me. Guest postings are also playing a good role. Article marketing still works, but you have to be careful while choosing article directories. After the Panda update the thing that become most important is the "quality" of the content on your website.

A good mixture of social network, blog posts, high pr contextuals, wiki's etc, basically a good variety, constantly built is what always works for me and continues to work for me.

I think what's becoming clear is that it's a case of same old same old, but better please...

Articles still work of course, especially when people read or use them, but I'm finding that building my own high quality backlinks (PR3+, edu, do follow, contextual and where possible, country specific) works really well, although it is time consuming.

That said, a mix of 30-50 high PR, .edu and if poss a .gov or two, contextual links, with as many as possible being DF seem to work over and over again for me.

I recently hit paydirt with a UK based site, where I tried to exclusively use UK based sites for my backlinks. Of course, it's impossible to say it made a difference, but my seasonal site stood its own against Amazon and a few big names, rankings wise.

I suspect Google will try and refine the weight of backlinks more over time, and that hopefully quality will triumph over quantity.
That said I always begin link building campaigns for my own sites with a good blast of SENuke then refine it from there, which I suspect is what many warriors do.

With last updates it looks like every person in seo should turn into copywriter somehow. Unique content is valued as never before.

I think article marketing is still good if you pick good article directories

I also think that Guest Posting Will help alot...

After panda update social marketing is given a high priority.

High PR Blog networks
Guest Posts and Links on Niche Related Sites
Relevant Blog Comments
Article marketing

These are the most valuable technique to get result quickly.

Short answer: the key is backlinks profile that looks more natural.

A little bit longer answer:
I agree that contextual links are the best but there is something even more important:
having backlinks from different kinds of backlinks from different sources.
the simplest strategy could look like this:
1. Submit articles to some good blog network
2. Create some backlinks from blog commenting from different types of pages, both with high and low PR
3. Use some social signals

I agree too. Article Marketing is alive and kicking. If there is focus on quality link building, you need not worry much about Panda updates. Spam, random link blasting etc are not long term solutions to get your site ranked. So if you have a good money site, build quality links in a steady manner and you will surely rank higher!

I only submit articles to 20 top article directories and I do it manually. Blasting 100's of directories using software; Is that still worthwhile? If it is I'll do it.
