SEO After penguine???

This is actually a great question.

Cheap link building old style still works on Bing and Yahoo. It no longer works and can hurt you on Google.

On Google, the new SEO is Content Marketing.

Link-building is still alive on Google, but it's more difficult.

1. Strive to get natural links. Asking people, your friends to link to you is legit. (Don't exchange links. Only link to others if you WANT your visitors to see their pages.) High-level, editorialy selective guest blogging can still be very valuable. Most especially, link-bailt and viral content are effective at drawing great links. Promote your content vigorously in social media and in some cases even through paid ads.
2. Don't use keywords in anchor text. Just forget them. Use the brand name and the domain name.
3. Don't link of your home page (some will say "don't link to it too much," I say don't link to it at all).
4. Instead of commercial pages, mostly link to information pages. About Us, Management, Team, bios, blog, news.
5. It doesn’t matter which of your pages are sucking in the link juice from the Web into your site. Onsite, let PR flow via direct links the noncommercial sections of your site into your most important sales pages (which have the right money keywords deployed in the title tags and elsewhere).

I hope this helps.
