What are the best type of backlinks?

I'm currently doing quite a bit of social bookmark backlinking, but it isn't doing a lot though.

I am thinking of sending out a lot of offers for blogs that accept guest posting, as I believe this is one of the, if not the best ways to get a quality backlink.

As mentioned, another reason why I think guest posting is the best is because that blog can have well-established authority.

If guest blogging isn't the best type of backlinks, what abouts would be?

  • You are correct. Guest Posting is the ideal type of back link. It comes from a related niche, and will therefore drive you very targeted traffic. The SEO is secondary and mostly unimportant compared to the actual direct traffic you will receive.

    You can also syndicate your content, which is largely the same as guest posting.

  • I think even better than guest posting is a resource link from a site with authority in your niche. Hey and you don't even have to write a post, you just have to be an information hub, something people want to link to. How to get them? Ask and you will recieve

    • Agree! However, what if I cannot create attractive/high quality ccontents? I think it is a big problem for non English speaking SEOers.
  • You can also do press releases.

    Write a press release and get it submitted. There is one fiverr gig that I use that offers excellent distribution.

    • This sounds like a good idea and I've heard it can actually work to boost SEO and real traffic. Could you give me some tips no using press releases so as not to get penalized by Google? I would appreciate your feedback.
  • I would say a natural review link from an authority website in your niche is probably the best white-hat link you can get.

    It wouldn't even have any slight chance of tripping any Google filters like how guest posting and press release backlinks can.

  • I can't disagree with you. You just nailed it. The best type of backlink for me is absolutely guest posting. This would definitely be very effective when it comes to driving traffic. You are doing good, I can see it.

    To those who are buying backlinks, I suggest you make a thorough research first as to what is the reputation of the company. There are companies that produce backlinks in a timely manner. However, there backlinks have poor quality.

  • Guest blogging is the best way to get some HIGH QUALITY backlinks! Especially if the blog has PR and it's in the same niche as your website!

  • In my point of view Guest posting is the first and best method to get quality back links. The second option will be other link building services.

  • I have just got my first guest post approved, on an article I spent about 3 hours on which is about 700 words. The article is going to be on a high quality PR 4 website, and can't wait to see the change in traffic and SEO results. All I did was search using the Google blog search and sent about 5 to 7 requests, and included examples of work, and got a request to send an article.

    I am going to begin using guest posting as my main link building campaign, as it only makes sense that it is one of the, if not the best source of quality backlinks. Also, I made sure there was high quality content on the blog, and a lot of activity, which showed a lot of the posts had many Facebook shares, Tweets, pinterest shares etc.

    Beforehand the only links I've built were by social bookmarking, blog commenting and a few web 2.0 links, which I've come to understand are not the best source of links. But since there is a lot of potential for authority on blogs, I can see a lot of opportunity for gaining SE optimization results as well as quality traffic.
  • OP guest posting is not bad. Along with this you can do Broken link building in relevant pages on your niche. Also do phone call, email bla bla to Authority site owners. If you send 100 requests and get 5 high quality backlinks then it would be equal of thousands of guest posts. Now what is the quality webpage?

    @- Relevant to your niche (different niche is not always bad. But if you are targeting "banana republic" keyword then backlinks from political websites would be better than irrelevant sites.)
    @- Good PR (I would recommend to target PR 3+ pages)
    @- Dofollow (nofollow might carry some weight too, but dofollow should be your priority)
    @- Contextual (Preferred, if you cant manage still go for a high PR backlinks from relevant site)
    @- Anchor text (backlinks without anchor text will not help you in SEO. If you see the title of the page is exactly your keyword then you can go on without anchor text. Otherwise I would not waste time to get backlinks without anchor text)

    • Wrong. So you're telling me if a high authority site with a PR 6 linked to my site with NO anchor text will NOT benefit me in SEO whatsoever? BS.

  • Given that guest blogging is so highly recommended in this thread, that to me means as all the parrots have jumped on that bandwagon, its now time to stop doing it or suffer in the next Google update :-)

  • Private homepage backlinks from high pagerank domains. Those always work.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Hi, It takes a lot more these days than article directories. Try several dofollow web 2.0 with unique articles. With Google's constant update, yes having a mixture of backlinks is important. I wouldn't say any one particular type is more important than the other. Mainly for the reason that you don't know what Google will update next.
    However, if you look for conversation. And aim to leave your links to a relevant conversation, you will find that you receive very target, in the zone visitors regardless of ranking. For example, say you are promoting a particular product.

    Have a nice day

    • this is just horrible advice. Google is targeting websites that used article marketing to build links with penalties. Ask me how I know.

  • The best back-links are the ones which are "natural", relevant and high-authority.

    They work the best because you also benefit from the direct traffic, not just keyword traffic from Google.

    You could also get less relevant and spammy links, but they won't help with direct visitors that stick.

    That's the #1 advantage I see. And SEO is a priority in my business as well. Just don't put all your eggs into one basket. Meaning, combine SEO with other methods that drive traffic like list building / PPC, offline marketing, and so on...

    Was this helpful? Do you have any further questions?

  • For the record Hossain, I for one will never claim that I'm an online guru. But I will call someone out that has NO credible source whatsoever. Instead of being so sensitive that I called out "BS", how about you come back with me with your source. I'm ready for a rebuttal if we must.

    I'm calling you out because you stated "A backlink with NO anchor text will give no SEO". I hope you're not saying you're a guru. And I hope that you know that you're nowhere close to one.
  • @hossain this even goes back to this thread

    http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...-backlink.html

    But I really am ready to take you on with a case study if you want to. If not, then stop giving some bad advices.
  • Anyways best type of backlinks, diversify your links. Go for link outreach, get contextual links. Relevancy is great, and utilize social media. Why? Because when you have a fan base, there could be a possibility that several of those "fans" have an actual site and they link your site on their site (natural links). Expose yourself.

    You running a clothing site? You better bust out that instagram. Or heck, you're running a vape store? You better be using instagram lol.

    • They certainly are. They are the exact types of links I want all my competitors to spend there time on!

  • Vary backlink types for link building.

    - private blog network
    - web 2.0
    - purchasing text link from high page rank sites
    - social media
    - and more...
  • Specifically, there's no such thing as "the best link," it always depends on link type variety and consistent link acquisition.
  • For the moment at least, building yourself a private blog network will allow you to rank for most low-to-medium competition keywords and yes it does require some time, money and effort to build but assuming you have chosen a niche that can be easily monetized, you shouldn't have a problem making it all back many times over.
  • Guest post for traffic YES but guest for backlink is a poor strategy because you won't only find that you have been building someone else site but been wasting your time too.

    All the types of links you are building gets you on a PR0 page which isnt worth a dime or different from posting on article directory for backlinks.

    • Actually i like this post. I think Guest post also gather a good traffic but it also have a poor strategy. Firstly PR is the mostly responsible for this part. if you create back-link form lower PR site then i think you will get some traffic but it will not give you good demand as much as possible. So that you need to find a good backlink from another source. Not only Guest posting but also this universe. Thanks
  • Guest Posting and Blong Commenting both should be on Good quality sites/blogs, reviews are another option for you.
  • Backlinks are an important aspect for good ranking of a site in google SERP. Some best type of backlinks are:
    In context links
    Edu links
    Press releases
    Forum signatures
    Bookmarking
    Directories
    Blog comments
    Question and answer posting
    Etc.

    • They are the "best" links that I want my competitors to go for!
      Care to explain why they are the best types when they are the exact types of links that Google is targeting in the penguin algorithm and is what gets sites manual unnatural link penalties?
  • You can also do press releases. And you will find some good forums and make some good links.
  • Contaxtual web 2.0 backlinks are the best as tier 1.You will always gain high trus and authority to your site.

      Mixed type links you can find better results
  • A press release would definitely be worthwhile and it could provide more than just a link benefit. Imagine [and it’s very possible to happen] that it gets picked up in Google News.

      You can go to fiverr if need to buy high quality backlinks. It is the largest place of seo service.
  • Forgot to mention: edu sites. Links from dot edu [in my opinion] are top of the top.
  • Contextual Backlink is what you need. Too many backlinks at once will penalize website.
  • amm i dont think so fiverr as very low quality link service provider, your best bet is to contact website owners similar to yours and create relationships
  • The best types of back links are the ones you get from relevant websites with high PR. GEt to know the WEBMASTERS and ask to link back to you and vice versa :-)
  • I would have to say relevant back links are the most important, especially if they are within the content of a post. I think the perfect link is one from a authority website, that is related to your niche, and somewhere in the content area of the website.

  • Backlinks are classified to be:
    Article
    Book mark
    Signature
    Wiki article
    and Blog comment and more..
  • Honestly, good link diversity will take you far. Right now, social bookmarking along with authoritative type of web 2.0s is getting me results. If you have $$, go for PBNs and web 2.0s. With web 2.0s, treat them like you would when building your own PBNs.

    Saw my primary and secondary keyphrases leap, month after month of creating them. I built them for my clients too and very good results. However, I build mine manually and it takes a little bit of work and time
  • Social bookmarking isn't anymore effective. Invest your time and effort creating quality content that you can share on article submission sites. Use the same article to create a video so you can reproduce your content without duplicating it. In short, I suggest you focus more on quality content: article submission, video submission, document sharing, infographic (if applicable) etc.

    • It's not effective in the sense that it will directly increase your rankings... however, it will help index your web properties/links and add diversity to your backlinking profile. In certain niches, guest posting isn't viable (for instance, if you're doing amazon affiliate sites).

      Anyways, my strategy's helping my own sites and you have to test for yourself.
