I agree with all of the above, as long as they are relevant, they are very effective white hat techniques. Another suggestion but these are all dependant on your type of business and can be time consuming:

• Having your own blog with valuable information that links back to your money site
• Using Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc to post to build up a community of followers who may share your posts and create free easy backlinks (works well for clothing, bars, club type business where people will share). This can be used either to your money site or your blog.

These two ways are very effective and white hat techniques but time consuming.

Why article submission/Blog posting missing in the list? I think this is more important

lol yeah sure. if you think spamming forums and blogs gives you better results then so be it. blog commenting and forum spamming all the way!!! :rolleyes:

im looking for a professional press release writer for my site

Why everybody insist to use black hat spammy methods? Everybody tries to make you understand that those links are gone...

Try to post unique articles with link in content on so many different sites as possible.

It is enough believe me. I was a black hater but those days are gone...

Get real until it is not to late...

Guest posting is most handy method to get backlinks. By doing this, you can create niche-related backlinks.

These are rally good techniques and I always follow these techniques.

I prefer article submission over social bookmarking. Because social bookmarking has lost it's appeal after recent updates of google. Most of the SB sites are flooded by spam links which reduced the value of SB sites.

In my opinion in link building is important strategy, you must work out your own strategy in which you will get backlinks with easy ways, it's not inevitable to follow others strategies you must have your own

Article submission and social bookmark submission is the best way to generate the back links

All above mentioned activities are good to get back link but most important thing is that all activities should have quality content which helps to get quality back links.

The best method is always: Find out which are the important links in yor market by analyzing your competitors and get as many of these links as possible.

Blog commenting... Not worth even the time anymore... Because you don't know how many comments can a blog post receive (and there is a chance your backlink to be considered as SPAM) // Also where are Article and Directory marketing!!! They are a VERY HIGH quality source of backlinks!!!

This is the really good post........

instant approval article submission sites and blog posting helps to increase the backlinks of the website.

It doesn't really matter too much how or where you get the links. What is most important is the PageRank of the page that the link is on, the Authority of the domain that the page is part of, the number of other links on that page and the anchor text you use.

I tend to use article marketing on good (high PR), article directories, then build links into those articles from manual blog comments, wikis and forum signatures.

For less than $10 it would be possible to get this forum page to a PR1 or PR2. And given the Warrior Forum is a PR5 and has reasonably high authority, all our signature links on this page would then become quite powerful.

Yes, the most effective ways for creating back links include:
Forum Posting Services
Social Bookmarking Services
Article Submission Services
Blog Commenting etc. All, of them are the best ways to create back links.

I like creating backlinks with guest posting.

how about press release? i hear press release very powerful but already tried it with no result.. any one get good result with press release?

article submission, blog commenting, news submission, forum posting and social bookmarking are the best ways to generate more backlinks.

Now all SEO method in vain but internal linking is great tactic to get higher ranking on search engine.

Guest posting on good quality established blogs, is definitely one of the best ways of getting backlinks.

Blog commenting & forum postings can be helpful. However I would be very careful if you are planning on outsourcing, automating or using services for these methods. No one likes spam and your loss of reputation is not worth it.

Having real and meaningful conversations with people in the same niche and becoming an authority on a given subject, will build your reputation (not to mention backlinks) in the right way.

Im new in SEO but posting on forums are helping me a lot.

Guest posting is the way forward. PM me and I'll be happy to help.

One link from an aged high PR authority site that is niche relevant will do more for you than thousands of spammy backlinks.

Guest posting, article submitting are found more important in case of me.

Among these 3 method Forum Posting is the most effective to me. I am building backlinks using forum posting for 2.5 years.

To get backlinks for your site do Off-page optimization works
Forum posting,
Social bookmarking
Profile linking
Blog commenting,
Directory submission,
Article Submission

in my experience, using private Blog Networks are extremely powerful as well.

Using links from diverse sources is the best. Spread links out on forum, blogs, articles, Web 2.0 you'll see great results!

Now when Search engines becoming more smarter we should think about how to gain link not how to create.

Social Bookmarking is the best among the rest.

You need to understand what Google wants from you while seo-ing a site...

I don't say blog commenting are effective - The reason is, say now you have no comments on a blog and you place your comment, on later days if the blog admin become inactive, then other spammers can spam the blog and place lots of links and that blog may become link-farm. You may not remove the links from that place even...!! this happens specially with the blogs that has good PR. Anyhow there are exceptional cases..... On the other hand, it is not easy to find blogs relevant to a niche that approve comments (even the comments are written well)

Also, I guess, you forgot the main and still rocking blogging using web 2.0 method...

[DELETED]

I have use some forums to get the rank and i got rank too much fast but after some day i lost my all ranking

Check your competitors backlinks using ahrefs.. read their backlinks and copy and improve.

Seems to work well enough.

I think it's safe to say that any method can be spammy if you are churning out 1000 links a day using the same method, same cookie cutter automated content no matter where you are posting. Hope nobody is doing any of that, because Google carries a big stick. But if you switch it up, use different methods, cover your tracks and provide some value in exchange for your links then you will get them.

Like for blog commenting, I use scrapebox, find high pr sites in my niche that have blogs that give do-follow links. I look for the choosy ones. Then I "court" them I make friends and get my links. Lots of times I butter them up with something helpful... send them some tips to cut down their loading time, or let them know about broken links or anything that might make their site more usable or SEO friendly. I just put it out there, they are tickled, I start up a conversation with them in comments and I get my links. Very good success rate with this, high PR do-follows folks. Sure, I could use scrapebox to blast everything with spam and maybe some of it sticks but if the webmaster accepts garbage posts then I don't want my site on there anyways. The point: any method can be spam if you don't put any thought into it, make friends in high (PR) places

PS- Hi, just lost my Warrior Forum virginity

I think now blog comments are not so effective as it should be before. google has stopped giving importance to the site.

Yes, Social Bookmarking, Forum Posting, and Articles are the best way to get backlinks.

My main methods of getting backlinks are:

1) Blogging sites like wordpress, blogspot, livejournal, tumblr, weebly, hub pages and squidoo.

2) Buying relevant aged.coms, then forwarding to my site.

3) Social media like pinterest and youtube. Many of my youtube videos have a pr4 rank which barely takes any work. You just have to blast them with links/views/likes/subscribers (fiver) then age them for a few months. Similar ease with my pinterest boards. Very easy to make, once they're done, they establish a nice pr after a few months.

4) Manual, high pr blog comments.

5) Local directory sites

For now, thats all I'm doing. I don't submit to article directories and I do very little bookmarking, but so far this has helped me rank 12 keywords between pages 2-5.

My site is only 3 months old, but I couldn't be any happier with the love google is showing me. Now its just a matter of getting a lot of those keywords on page 1, which I'll do with more links from my aged .coms.

I agree, but I usually add them with other backlinks such as press release, social network, edu. etc, and I make it into Pyramid backlinks.

I personally use directories and it works just fine for me.

yaap. to me, forum is more powerful than other.

All three techniques are good to create back links as well as traffic. Most effective is blog commenting, forum posting and then bookmarking.

Forum posting and social bookmarking is the best one

what about directory submission??
directories having PR more than 4..

If we follow natural way to promoting a website over the internet then all off-page activities becomes good for website and also remember that all activities should be done on high pr sites.

The most effective method of creating back-links are Guest blogging,Blog Commenting,Forums.

Here are the best ways I prefer to build backlinks

1. Create unique content and spun it to get 20 unique versions. Use these on 20 high profile blogs like wordpress,squidoo,blogspot along with niche pictures,videos etc. and your links to it(Tier 1 links)

2. Start building links like bookmarks and doc links to Tier 1 links

3.Use RSS and forum profiles to support links built in stage 2.

Repeat these procedures 2-3 times a month and wait for links to get indexed.
You will start getting good results for sure

Yeah, you need to add there article submission and guest blog posting...

Yes, all three methods are effective to build back links to your site. Guest posting is also effective method of link building.

Lots of good ideas, blog commenting, is still alive and kicking, be be careful where you comment also a great way to build relationships with others in your niche.

Guest blogging still good, but again, choose carefully, both doing one for someone else and someone doing one for you.

Quality Quality Quality.

Social Bookmarking
Forum Posting
Articles

Write unique and fresh articles, do article marketing, blog commenting, guest posting, yahoo answers, video creation and use of social media.

This method must depending on the website PR. I don't think such method is till useful in the year 2013 SEO.

Check this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...uilding-q.html

Talking about whitehat techniques, Creating Infographics and Whitepaper relevant to your industry is quite effective to build natural links.

As development of both, is quite time consuming & expensive, Make sure you are going to break even with your spending. Do this specially for your long term projects.

I do agree with you that forum posting, blog posting and social bookmarking are the most important techniques of the link building and we can get good rank by using these techniques .
But i thing we should use all off-page seo techniques to make more back links .
directory submitting , Articles , press releases are also good techniques to make more backlinks ,Thank you all for sharing good information.
Best regards .

Many have mentioned different methods of creating backlinks here, and I do appreciate. But what I have found to work (the best) is that the most effective method of creating backlinks is to create as much types of backlinks as possible. Do everything, including but not limited to:

* Forum Posting
* Article Marketing
* Guest Posting
* Backlinks from Video Sharing Sites (e.g. youtube)
* Web 2.0 backlinks
* Wiki Links
* Social Bookmark links
* Directory Submission links
* PDF sharing
* Podcast sharing
* And 100's of more.

The key is to make it as much diverse as possible. And then No follow, do-follow, anchor text variations are like spices to make your efforts even better. You just need to use the right combination of these spices. Hope this all helps!

Infographic syndication - super easy and fast once the infographic is created. I created 6 infographics (one for each niche) resulting in about 3 links to each of my money sites a week on autopilot.

This technique is so effective and easy, I'm looking into getting some professional infographics created for wider syndication.

Other methods:

Some guest posting - authority blog guest posts pack a great punch
Some blog commenting on blogs I follow
Press releases
High PR backlinks whenever I can - the effectiveness of this cannot be overstated

Just Few Off page activities are not appreciated by Search Engines. We should keep focus on all off page activities including one of the famous method which is Guest blogging.

its a good idea to steel competitors baclinks and a "free version of Link Assistant" is available to help you getting your competators backlinks.

For me it has to be Tumblr.com - she's an irresistible mistress and I can't take my hands off her!

Creating custom Web 2.0s website are one of the best ways to use for backlinks. They can even be your buffer sites. Look up Tier link building. Very powerful stuff.

Create infographics and allow them to be shared with a link back to your original post. I like the backlinks going to posts/pages versus my homepage for deep linking :-)

The Forum posting could be spammy, time consuming and even get deleted. The use of backlinking is proven to be more effective. They are more passive so they don't get deleted.

All the methods are good, just do it in right way

Social media shares seem to carry the most value these days. If you can get a Facebook post to be shared and passed around outside of your immediate Fan base, it can count for a whole lot.
Anything that can be placed easily by the site owner, like a forum post or blog comment, carries less weight than it once did, pre Panda.

In other words, you placing a link back to your own website is now recognized by Google for exactly what it is.

Small addition from me is that answering yahoo questions with relevant source is very effective

Most backlinks hurt your rankings because of the speed, number and type. I've been using a very slow but natural way of building backlinks for 2 years with no problems. Mostly social backlinks and page likes from various ip class addresses will boost your rankings without penalty.

I would say that blog commenting is not black hat method, if you comment to contribute to the blog, if you are commenting for building links only then it can be black hat method.

Web2.0, article submission, edu links gives better link juice

I agree, those are all good, but would add one more. Getting links from sites in your market that have the keywords you want ranked for and pointing those links to the pages you want ranked for those keywords. It's an old SEO tactic, but it still works great and has survived the search engine changes.

Guest blogging is the first and foremost method of building safe back links, I also do Some Free classified submission using unique anchor text and description and dont ever forget to be active on social networking websites mainly google+.
