Link Building Vs Social Media

Mix it up!
PBN for fast rankings and social media for long term success

People don't go to social media sites to shop, they go there to socialize. I've found the best way to utilize social media marketing is to include Google AdWords remarketing code on the ad's landing page. Some percentage will click the ads, but they're not necessarily in the right mindset to buy at the time they click through... but if visiting that page triggered an ad that follows users around on other pages, the likelihood of engaging that visitor when they ARE in a buying mode increases.

Link building in good, but now a days social media is the key, i have seen lot of websites and businesses which are successful only because of social media, so in my view it is really good to spend time on social media sites.

Link Building as Easily getting traffic as well as bring on your website in gooogle. But Social Media Marketing Have Taking Some time .

Link building is only dangerous or something to be wary of if you don't go about making it look natural. Google wants you to EARN links, never build them, so anything you can do toward that end or the appearance of that end will be evergreen when it comes to SEO.

Sharing link bait via social media is the best way to take advantage of social networks to earn natural links and see your site grow in the SERPs.

So not a single person on this thread so far knows what outreach is?

Most of the things you guys have mentioned have been ineffective forms of link building for years.

Social as the future of SEO, bullshit, the future to anybody with eyes and a brain is paid platforms, Facebook and google are both moving their services more and more towards paid discovery, however you can't concentrate on the future NOW.

To build backlinks now (taking away the PBN option):
Do some research into your target market, who are they? What sites are they visiting now?
Create something of value to them that doesn't already exist on the sites they visit, this is your asset
Approach the sites they visit via email, phone or even snail mail if you have to
Tell them about your asset and that it might interest their viewers
Ask them to link to it

Then repeat the process for other areas that might be of interest to your target market, are there any transferable traffic options? For example a guy who is interested in books, will also be interested in ebooks, ebook readers, pdf's and other forms of material that he can read if it is sold to him in the right way by someone he trusts.

This is how you link build, this is how link building has worked since 1998 and it's still the same, things just get added and taken away here and there.

FYI read my blog post below, it tells you how to do this in a less targeted but still "safe" way.

But keep in mind that what I have said above is a form of link building that will always be effective until link building as an activity becomes ineffective.

Do it for the benefit of the person who will click your link and you won't go wrong.

Back up this with a few PBN links and you'll pretty much rank anything with the exception of gambling, porn and personal loans site. If you wanna rank for them then you better start to learn how to write Linux linking scripts and other super shady activities.

Yeah, why not both?

Not much of a fan of private blog networks. Google will find you!
