Hello,

I would like to do some SEO for my UK sites but I would like to know what would be the best way to get backlinks with anchor?

Should I get them only from .co.uk sites?

I'm kind of new to SEO and I'm hearing a lot of things such as blog commenting and articles posting, etc...

Thanks you for your help

Best regards,

    If you want to rank on Google.co.uk then you should focus primarily on getting links from United Kingdom.

    Blog commenting and article posting are very much likely going to get your site tanked for spammy links. It's not the way to go anymore.

    Don't target one type of thing and expect good results. Anyone that says go for X type of backlink is giving you bad advice whether it is about dofollow, high PR or anything else. Having links with one aspect that is the same will always be a footprint and you will be waiting on the day your site no longer appears.

    Vary as much as you can as often as you can. Keep your anchor texts very varied and you should steer clear of any unwanted attention. Don't concern yourself with just .co.uk, get plenty of links from other domains that are not country specific (.com, .gov, .edu, .info, .net, .org etc etc);

      Can you give me some example of different techniques to mix to not be marked as spam by Google?

      If I have link from .com or .fr... won't this mess my ranking if I only want to show up for the UK market?

        Get a nice mix from various sources whether they be blogs (both in content and comments), articles, forums, etc.

        I think .UK links would probably do more on a local level, but links from .COMs and other extensions which are not UK definitely won't hurt you or keep you from ranking locally.

    Focus on relevancy...its most prior than the country based link. You can do content marketing. Tire linking is working fine for me but you have to be careful about the structure, anchor text variation, Content uniqueness and some more facts..

      Do not buy links. Google considered it as unnatural and link scam. He might penalize your site for paid links. Go with the natural links. There are many ways to natural link building.

      Web 2.0 is still a effective way if you manage a good quality, interesting and unique content. Content is king.

        That is if you don't know how to build links right. I know ppl making thousands of dollars a month using blackhat software. Learn to play with anchor text a bit. I use software to build web 2.0's to sort of "pillow" my website and make it more authoritative.

        But personally, I would follow your advice if I were looking to create a long term website for profit. To add to your list, I would say get links from high PR websites and authority. Try contacting authoritative websites in your niche and see if you can get them to publish a review of your website or service.

    Go for Article Marketing but having limited focus on it. Dont use Article directories but use guest posting but limited only like 2-3 / month.
    Rest use forum signatures but from related forums only.
    Focus on social shares and use social media to promote.

    If you were to believe Matt Cutts, I think you should, especially after Penguin 2.0 anchor texts are no longer that important. Matter of fact, you get too much into it, the big G would kick your site down SERPs.

        Use long tail keywords as anchor texts but randomly.

        Anchor text plays a role. You have to randomize it to prevent a slap in the face by Google Panda/penguin.

        I suggest you check out source-wave.com its a good place to start.

      you mental? anchor texts are not that important? I have one page that appears on google for like 5 different keywords - all because of anchor texts. Matt Cutts is a clown that works for Google. His only job is to make it look like Google wants you to rank and to be real, they don't; they want you to use adwords.

        I have to agree with the above poster in that anchor text selection is EVERYTHING right now.

        Lets assume that you've found your relevant, high powered (PA, DA, PR) domains to get links from. Your selection of anchor text can either make or break you.

        Getting too aggressive and repeating anchor text will get you Penguin'd in a heartbeat. However, being smart about your selections will allow you to cover longtail and synonyms that will make up over 90% of your search volume.

        Synonyms are the key right now. They push up your SERP rankings for your target keywords and help you to avoid penalization at the same time.

          PR/PA/DA websites are boss. If you use spammy garbage, you can destroy your site if you use anchors wrong.

    Well, I would say just keep on focusing with the relevancy i.e build back links from the site having your niche and you will be getting ranked among the search engines.
