The Noob Guide to Link Building

Nice noob guide to link building I found this morning on the Youmoz blog. It's a long one so make some popcorn or a fresh cup of coffee.

The Noob Guide to Online Marketing is arguably the greatest single post of all time. If you don't agree, well, it's at least my favorite. Oli Gardner (of Unbounce) displayed a playful writing style mixed with pixel perfect graphic design, and a GPS of a roadmap to take your site from mile marker zero to one hundred in six months. It's nothing short of amazing.

While savvy content marketers realize that many of Oli's tactics will naturally attract links, fledgling link builders got to the 63rd page and were still wondering what to do. With this companion piece, it is my goal to grab the baton from Oli and outline a six-month link building action plan for your brand or client's new web property. Even if the website isn't brand spanking new, that's fine, what I really mean is that this is the link building plan for the less savvy looking to do dive into off page optimization. Marketers with long existing sites and more link building experience will be better served downloading the Complete Six-month Off Page SEO Gameplan from iAcquire.

Following this guide in concert with Oli's you will identify your audience, build a list of prospects, plan and execute four successful pieces of content and convince influencers to create content for your site.

      Aren't we all?

      Maybe shift your focus towards lower competition keywords / phrases so you don't have to do massive (risky?) link building campaigns.
