Basic Strategies & Techniques

Strategies & Techniques

• Link Exchange
  
• Article Submission
  
• Blog Commenting
  
• Directory Submission
  
• Social Bookmarking
  
• Forum Posting
  

This is essentially the caveman way of building links on Internet today. Also, this is becoming less and less practice as it is becoming commonly known that this is not very effective. The only situation in which I recommend you performing a two-way link exchange is whenever you find a website with way better rankings in search engine presence to do a two-way link exchange. In this case, being the lower ranks site, you may benefit greatly.

Article Submission
In my opinion this is the most effective way still yet to build links. article submission is whenever you write an article and submit it to someone else's website. In this case an article directory. Article directories are specialized websites that will accept content and in exchange allow you to build a link to your website. As long as you meet the stipulations which are typically a minimum word count, to links allowed in the resource box, and a article at decent quality you should be able to easily build a link to article submission.

Directory Submission
Directory submission is whenever you submit your website to a website directory. There are tons of website directories on the Internet. People used to use web directories to find what they are looking for before search engines came about. Nowadays, they are not used for this and are basically only used for the purpose of link building. This is definitely one of those link building strategies that I recommend you pay somebody to do or at least buy a software that makes the process a little faster.

Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking is an incredibly easy way to build links to your website is one of the best link building strategies for beginners. Social bookmarking sites are websites that allow users to bookmark content on the Internet that they enjoy. Most members of social bookmarking sites are everyday Internet users and are not webmasters who own websites for profit. However, these news submission sites of sort offer a great opportunity to build links to your websites.

Forum Posting
If you ever been a member of the form you have probably seen a few of the foreign members have links at the bottom of their posting what is called there forum signature. Most of the time these links that you see at the bottom of people's post are links pointing to websites they. The reason they place those links there is for the purpose of search engine optimization and link building. If you use this link building strategy properly you can see a tremendous return on investment by placing links to your websites in your forum signatures and by regularly generating the form thus building several one-way links to your site very easily.

Blog Commenting
If you have ever read a blog you've probably seen that people commonly have the ability to leave comments at the end of the post. That is the difference between a blog and a website. Blogs allow users to leave comments after a post and create a discussion that furthers that particular page. Most of the time users also have the option to include a link to their website and their comment. As long as you add a valuable comment, you should be able to easily build links to your website by simply commenting on the post of various blog owners.

Advanced Stategies & Techniques

• Link Wheel
  
• Blog Networking
  
• Article Prism
  
• Web 2.0 Property Creation
  
• Dofollow Video Distribution

3 Way Link Exchange
A three way link exchange is a much more advanced link exchange that will yield much greater results as compared to a two way link exchange. In a three way link exchange every body who participate in the exchange will be getting a one way link and everybody will be getting a link and general. With a three way link site number one links to site number two, site number two links to site number three, site number three links back to site number one. These are highly effective and register as three separate one-way links in the I the search engines. If you are putting energy into two-way link exchanges I recommend stopping that right now and focusing your energy on trying to set up three way link exchanges which are incredibly effective.

Link Wheels
link wheels are an incredibly advanced method of building links to one's website. The idea behind the link will is by creating 50 pursue different links. The to better understand how this works you might want to think of it as a 50 way link exchange even though that is technically not what it is. Some advanced Link wheels involve more than 50 sites and can arrange to a maximum of about. However, you probably don't want to put that much time into one link building venture. With link wheels site one links to site two, site two to links to site three, site three links to site four, site four links to site five, and so on with your website being the very last one link to. The idea here is to create a flood of page rank that ultimately gets bestowed onto your website.

Blog Networking
Blog networks are an incredible way to build links to your website. A blog network is basically a link building company that owns an incredibly large number of blocks. They essentially set up service that allows you to write post containing links on their blogs. This allows you to build an almost unlimited number of one-way back links to your website on an almost unlimited number of different blogs. Linvana is the most common and well known example of a blog network.

The biggest downfall of most of these networks is that is typically very expensive to join. If you own three or more sites then is probably well worth the price to you. If you own only one or two websites it may not be worth your while to pay for membership to blog network which can be pretty expensive. I recommend joining a blog network if you have a website that has a large number of pages or if you own multiple websites.

Article Prism
An article prism is basically a simplified link wheel.with an article prism you use links from articles exclusively and you use a significantly less amount of articles somewhere in the range of 15 to 25. You point these 15 to 25 articles directly at one another and your website. I have had great success using these and to be honest with you I would recommend this over link wheels any day.

Web 2.0 Property Distribution
Web 2.0 property distribution is whenever you submit articles, post, or other various media to web 2.0 sites such as hub pages. The biggest difference between web 2.0 sites and article directories is that on several web 2.0 sites you have the ability to earn income directly from the articles you submit. Most members of these sites are not in it for the link building aspect, but rather the income aspect. If you have a website or blog I recommend that you use these websites to increase your presence in the search engines through increasing your amount of inbound back links pointing to your website.

Dofollow Video Distribution
Dofollow video distribution is the most neglected way to build links by webmasters/bloggers. The biggest thing that holds most people back from this easy link building opportunity is the fact that they are unaware of how to create the this. Creating the is is incredibly easy. If you have absolutely no idea where to start and I recommend that you use Microsoft movie maker or Windows movie maker as you can easily create a movie that is permissible to submit to a video site. You can easily Garner 10 to 20 high page rank one way links from each video that you create, even incredibly basic videos such as slideshows created with Windows movie maker or Microsoft movie maker.

Article Spinning
one of the most heated topics in the search engine community is article spinning. This is where you create three different versions of the same article. What you do is replace various words and each article with synonyms as well as writing matching paragraphs that say the same thing but in different words. In the future search engines may be able to pick up on the fact that you are spinning articles. However, several web masters have reported that they are advanced spinning techniques are able to help them achieve some big time results.

Guest Blogging
guest blogging is basically the same thing as article distribution, but the big difference lies in the fact that guest blogging takes place on blogs and websites that do not have nearly the incredibly large number of outbound links that article directories. Guest blogging is much more exclusive and typically much more niche focused. These more relevant links are given more weight in the eyes of the search engines and way more direct click and traffic than what you would receive from submitting articles to article directories. This is one of the best advanced link building strategies.

Target Long-Tail/Low Competition Keywords
When you start off your Internet marketing campaigns I recommend that you do not target the toughest keywords out there such as wanted to work keywords that have a lot of competition. Instead focus your energy on longtail keywords that are 4 to 5 words long that do not have a lot of competition. Get good ranking for these first, then move on to the tougher and more profitable keywords.

Do Not Try To Use Software or Services
As a beginner it is very important that you do not try to use software services. If you do not know how to effectively build links on your own manually, then there is no way that you will be able to successfully use a software program or effectively evaluate service before using. Until your site is making you a lot of money and until you are knowledgeable on the topic it is a horrible idea to waste money on link building software and services.

Use A Great Variety of Anchor Text For Each Page
a long time ago a search engine optimizer approached me several link building tips. One of the best tips that he gave me and one of the tips that drastically changed my online career was one involving the anchor text I was using for my links. He told me that all my links had roughly the same anchor text which was "make money online". He told me that if I had more than 60% of my links containing the same anchor text, I would never achieve good search engine results. He was incredibly right and ever since then I have used the largest variety of anchor text I could possibly use when marketing each of my websites pages.

Link Your Site's Pages to One Another When Applicable
one of my favorite link building tips was given to me by the same Internet marketer/search engine optimizer that I described in the previous tip. He explained to me that links coming from pages on my site to other pages on my site count as links to. They simply just do not have the same value as links from other websites. Nevertheless, I implemented this on my site and immediately saw incredible results. Not only did I get increase search engine rankings for the keywords that targeted via my own websites pages, but I saw increased page views right from the start as I gave my visitors more access to the wide variety of topics that I write about on this website.
