Some of you may have come across this and bookmarked it at some point. Other's of you may have NEVER seen it before until now. This is by far the most comprehensive list of linkbuilding methods I've ever come across.

Some interesting, out-of-the box, linkbuilding strategies from that list:

  • Logo Design Directories - Most of you have logos for your website or company, so get a few links in return for them.
  • Guest Posting - my personal favorite -Bloggers, just like me, sometimes have trouble cranking out content on a regular basis. That's where you can help. Pitch bloggers to ask if you could guest blog, because if they say yes, you can get a few links from the post, and if the blog is popular, you can drive traffic too.

    Here's a fantastic guide on the entire guest blogging process.

    If you want, use sites like Blogger Link Up and My Blog Guest to connect with bloggers who need content. It's scalable, but the bloggers you get in touch with aren't usually very authoritative (they're mostly mid-level bloggers).
  • Entering contests & giveaways - I love online contests, and so should you. They're not only your chance to win some cash or prizes, but they're also a chance to net a few high quality links. The most popular contests & giveaways you'll see are guest blogging contests.

    For instance, I not only got a link from this post I entered, but I also won the $1000 grand prize. Not bad, eh?

    Here's a great example of where your great content pays off. I entered an infographic created by Kapil Kale, one of my friends, into a contest on StumbleUpon, and it got a link from their blog! Talk about high quality links!
  • Get Interviewed -Just like you should interview others, seize opportunities to be interviewed, no matter how small the audience is. The 5-600 words that take you 15-20 minutes can turn into a few highly authoritative contextual links.
  • Petition - If you and your community are passionate about a certain issue, start a petition. If you can gain any traction from an industry news site, it could catch on like wildfire.

    This petition received 1,100+ links from over 200 root domains.

    Note: Although not recommended, because it isn't hosted on your site, one option is to use change.org to start your petition. It's an easy set up, and because it's hosted on their all ready popular site, you get all the added benefits of professionalism & exposure.
  • Video Embeds -By including links in the embed code of videos, and reaching out to bloggers to host them (i.e. as part of an upcoming post), you can get a link for each embed.

    A couple others that I use often:

    Affiliate program
    It's a strategy past its prime, but by starting an affiliate program, you can not only get links through affiliate links, but you can also get links to the affiliate program page itself (affiliate bloggers will link out if they like it).

    Local Listings
    Submit your site to local listings. Here's a fantastic list created by Peter Attia of all the best sites for this.

    Example: Yelp.com. Sign up to submit here.

    User/Product Ratings/Reviews
    Submit user ratings and build links at the same time. Once again, Peter Attia created an awesome list of submission sites for this topic.

    Example: Epinions. Sign up here.
