There is nothing to panic if you know what to do and where to begin. You just need to build quality backlinks for your site. Start off with guest blog posting, better Content Marketing and Social Media Syndication seems to work great for me post penguin 2.1. I recently made some post on post penguin 2.1 working strategies on my blog. If you want you can check, hope it will help.

Before you start you must set a goal for your link building campaign. This is very important to keep you on track of the things that you will be doing.

If you are going to use your content writing skills, then link bait can be a good choice of method since it is done mostly through contents (videos, articles, images, etc.)

To give you an example, if you are going to write something about home security through native software, it is best move to know the intention of the users while searching for such topics.

Do they want a service or just information?
What are the specific things that they want to know in searching?
How are they going to react whenever they see your content? (to know this, conducting a small survey would help)
How are you going to define all possible situations and provide their needs?

Those are some of the points you might want to look at. When you look at how SEO is done nowadays, you will see that baits are widely used and proven to be one of the most effective methods in link building.

Without making things complicated, the best strategy these days is to buy expired PR domains which have good quality back links pointing to it.

Then add unique, relevant content to those domains and link them to your money sites.

This seems to work really well for me.

hi nbseo,

as for your question i would like to break down my reply into three different points so i going ahead next:

1. you said your niche you are in is pretty rare with no so many people in there...so my suggestion would be you do a research test to see if a profitable niche with plenty of people spending money on it.. if not...its not worth your effort and time trying to get visitors from google or anywhere else. (Always in the event you wanna make a living off your site)

2 . In regards to backlinking strategy.. keep in mind Google is really passionate about social media sites as these are the biggest trend in the internet for years to come) so get some backlinks from facebook or twitter (mainly if ur site is brandnew because this would help your site to get some reputation in the google eyes) also try to build backlinks from web2.0 sites (wordpress,blogspot, etc) and social bookmarking sites...they are safe sources of backlinks that never will hurt your site "health" when it comes to get top rankings.

3. To find blogs related to your niche...just use the googles blog searching functionality..just type your niche keyword and take a look at the results coming up!!

hope this has been of much help to u!!

wish u the very best and of course to all of other warriors going thru this thread!!

cheers to all..

YasirYar and KyGuntar are right. Build up your private domain network. Keep your network private. Be very wary about buying into someone else's network, ESPECIALLY if the owner of the network advertises. If the owner of the network or high PR site advertises in public that you can join for a price, be aware that Google can see the same advertising and can penalize anyone who joins.

Also, if you want backlinks, add as many wikipedia (and similar high authority) links to the text that you write. For example, if you write "Lady Gaga" in your text make sure to link those words to the wikipedia entry for Lady Gaga.

The idea of a private network is great... but then you start adding the costs up...

Well domains alone can be pretty tasty... you invest all the money and then google kicks teh shite out of it.... DOnt get me wrong if there was a fail safe way of doing it then fair enough but I have looked and looked and not seen something that I would throw money at..

Guest posting works really well, but you can also build a few of your own small blogs using the likes of blogger, yola, wordpress etc. If you build about 10 blogs with good content (3 good articles per blog should be enough) then you can build much higher volumes of links connected to those blogs to pass more link juice up to your primary blog.

So you have 2 tiers of backlinks- tier 1 is very cautious and only a few links, tier 2 is more aggressive. If you do buy srapebox you can use that for some tier 2 links but don't use it for tier 1.

Your comment is another proof that backlinks is not so important as many people think it is, I'm ranking on first page of google with many words just posting quality content and linking my contet with youtube videos related with the content that I posted.
