One Way Link Building
Strategies:
Article Marketing
Old, yet very stable and reliable s0urce to get backlinks. Search engines love new content, inside this content you put your backlink or more than one backlink (it all depends upon the rules of the community where you are distributing your content for link baiting).
Recently article marketing started to evolve into something which can be called as a sub-section of the article marketing. In particular, press release marketing, also used with SEO purposes.
Content Publication on Celebrity Site(s) of Your Niche
This strategy needs negotiations, money and time. Because it’s not easy to convince one of the top sites in your niche to publish your piece of content (be it general article, or review of some issue in your niche, or simply a short piece of semi-promo text) and give you one of a few one way backlinks.
Most likely you will have to pay for such a publication, and negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. This is not quick, but even a small bunch of one way backlinks from the reputable site will help you a lot in SEO.
Forum Marketing
Usually this strategy is being used for diversification, rather than any other purposes. If – in addition to the major link building campaign that you are doing – you add a bunch of backlinks from 5-7 forums in your niche. Day after day it grows into a nice extra pool of backlinks from reputable resources.
Most likely the pages with your backlinks will appear on pages with zero PR, because these are pages that have been created by you and are very fresh. Still, over time, you get a good number of backlinks, they accumulate, and often seriously boost your link building portfolio.
In terms of technology you are getting backlinks from the forum signatures or even from inside the text of the forum posts. It is also recommended to do this job manually, without any automatic tools, because spam forum posting is instantly noticed by the forum people and your account gets suspended – so, manual forum marketing, when there is a real person who is doing the job, who is analyzing the topics discussed on the forum and runs the online conversation with other forum members.
Blog Commenting
For a big while blog commenting (and getting backlinks from the comments) was a very effective tool to build one way backlinks. All you need is go to the top blogs in your niche and comment to the publications done on these blogs. If you can run a conversation online, and comment productively, this can bring you backlinks from really good pages. Sometimes your comment can be approved and published even on the old pages with PR2 and more.
The cloud in the sky is that tons of automatic (and – most often – primitive tools) junked the whole idea with sending the floods and floods of spam comments, and even the best spam filters fail to save the problem. Logically that most of the bloggers are switching their blogs to the ‘no follow’ on the comments. Still, if you do a great job, in almost any niche you can find at least some good blogs, SEO-powered, without any ‘no follow’ stuff on the backlinks.
Backlinks from Social Bookmarking Sites
Social bookmarking sites have been a hit for a good period of time. Lots of people have build up their own social bookmarking web sites.
That is why – without any big routine, you can order the submission to hundreds of social bookmarks. Or you can buy the tool that is doing the submission, and do it yourself with the tool. In the jobs of that kind automation is easy and effective.
Backlinks from Link Brokers
Link brokers are the companies that help to match the “link givers” and the “link getters”.
Inside these memberships people can buy backlinks on the sites available in the network of this link broker. Usually you pay on a link-per-month basis.
And you can also sell the web space on your site, so that other “link getters” could be a backlink on it.
Backlinks from Free Web Page Creation Services
Today there are lots of web projects where they allow you creating unlimited number of web pages, with possibilities to add text, images, video and links into the page info. Great examples of these networks are Squidoo, HubPages and other projects.
Not all, but at least several of these projects have managed to become very trusted and reputable in the eyes of major search engines. And getting backlinks from them is worth the job.
Still, “thanks” to the spam tools that where automatically creating junk quality pages, like crazy, most of the projects have put ‘no follow’ on any outgoing backlinks from their sites or have started to severely moderate each publication.
Backlinks from Social Networks
Creating pages in top social networks and building backlinks from that pages was really fun.
Unfortunately it was quick overspammed and – in most of the cases – pushed these social network to put ‘no follow’ on the outgoing backlinks.
Submissions to Message Boards
Used to be a very effective one – people could submit simple text messages with backlinks and get them published on message boards.
Seriously overspammed. Sometimes you can see even funny things like dozens of dozens of new messages being created every second on the page of the message board, as you refresh the page in the browser. Just imagine how massive the spam submission is. Due to this your backlinks have small chances to get noticed in this flood of publications coming every second.
Link Directory Submission
Very old link building service, perhaps one of the oldest on the market today.
Not super effective (because on a certain stage all search engines started to crack it; and, sometimes, successfully), still it works. And can be used as a nice frugal way to get extra backlinks.
Usually used for the diversification of the link building, because diversity never hurts in SEO.
Viral SEO Strategies
Usually this sort of strategies involves at least the basic knowledge of code programming. Basically you create “something” which is being virally spread over the Internet and, without any help from your end, sends you backlinks.
For example, top authority sites in almost any niche have reputation programs. They review your site and if it fits with their standards – they give you a badge. It can be a lovely looking picture with text like “Reviewed for Quality, by www.ReputableSiteHere.com” And these pictures can come with the real live one way backlink to the site of the reviewing company.
Viral strategies are far from being quick, but if the idea is great – then in a year you can talk about your personal backlink pools, thousands and thousands of backlinks.
That’s It…
Surely this is not the ultimate list of effective and productive link building strategies.
