How to do Link Building?

[GT Bulmer]

Hi, Robert:

I don't have an answer to that and I suspect that just when someone figures it out, then Google will change their algorithms of measurement... again.

The highest I have personally managed to get any of my websites is PR3, but to keep it there, you really have to be adding new, unique content regularly and continually building new back links. You can't simply build up your links to a certain point, then think you are done. Some links fade away and I wonder if the search engines start giving older links a lower value. Of course, the better quality a link is, the better it is for you.

Some marketers do a search for their top key words and when they identify other sites that rank high for those keywords and also have a high PR, they try to establish links with those sites.

yes, you are right too. There is no fix rule as such. It's interesting too.

I couldn't agree more with what they all said here. Link building might seem a tedious and time-consuming job but it really is the heart of SEO to increase your site traffic.

You may want to start your link building with forums relevant to your chosen niche, then at social networking sites, and last but not the least, make informative blogs with carefully researched keywords. That's just the tip of the iceberg for there are many in-depth techniques to effectively build links.

Hope this helped.

All of these systems are great if done correctly but personally I have found article marketing to be one of the best methods with long standing benefits. Articles that I wrote 2 or more years ago are still well ranked on Google and that is without any additional work.

Be diligent. Build blogs.Pay attention to the contents.

1. Build a "101 list". These get Dugg all the time, and often become "authority documents". People can't resist linking to these (hint, hint).

Wow! That's quite a list of recommendations!

Let's start at the top: Please tell me what a "101 list" is. I'm not sure I understand. Thanks.

Hi Members,

You have all given some fantastic feedback on this subject and the combined effort of using all of these techniques will surely bring great benefit and I haven’t really got a lot to ad other than one thing which GT has already touched on earlier.

That is to type your keyword phrase into Google and list all the sites on page 1 and even 2 and visit them all in turn. Chances are most of them will have articles of some sort and it they have a comments section then jump on it. Leave a meaningful and useful comment (you don’t want it to be removed by the site moderator) as you want to ad useful content to the article and not devalue it.

In your comment you can leave a link back to your site and there you have quality backlinks form high ranking sites,

regards,

Mal.
