Popular
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.

And this is where you can step in.

SEO Beyond SEO:
Using SEO for Building Public Opinion

Both you and me are kind of obsessed with the same game – “build more backlinks, push sites higher, generate more traffic, make more money” – and nothing bad about it.

But we all love evolving, love breaking the limits, stretching the horizons – and today I would like to talk about unusual way of using SEO inventory. I would like to talk about SEO as a revolutionary instrument for creating public opinion units.

And how these public opinion units (together with SEO) can save the reputation of your product/service/brand and save your sales from blatant media attacks of your competitors.

What is a Public Opinion Unit?

This is a piece of information (text, audio, video) that has a purpose of building up a certain opinion (positive, negative, neutral) with the online audience.

Of course, public relation agencies have been using the Internet for a long time to deliver their public opinion units to the targeted audience. But there is one thing which most of the agencies fail at. They lack the advanced knowledge of SEO and they lack advanced/effective SEO tools. The most “sophisticated” SEO practice that they are doing is to use a specific keyword in press release title/article title/video title OR, maybe, to use the same keywords in tags (which is not bad, actually, but FAR from using the real power of SEO). Just imagine that big industry giants with huge budgets are exploiting this level of primitive SEO techniques in the 21st centry :)

And the real power of SEO is about…

delivering public opinion units
to page 1 in search engines
for a specific search phrase!

And no matter how simple it can sound, this is a very important statement, because it helps to save millions of dollars to the industry of public relations.

Just imagine, instead of spending HUGE budgets on creating the ocean of information which should cover the audience, you can create just several public opinion units (a video here, an article there, a forum thread, a press release, a blog discussion) and then, with the help of professional SEO tools, you push these public opinion units to page 1 in search engines for any phrase you need.

With the help of this you:

- save colossal money on the public relation budgets;

- work with laser targeted precision when delivering public opinion units to the audience.

Let me give you just a few examples…

… is showing how a public opinion unit
(videos created for a client)
with the help of professional SEO instruments
ranked Google page 1
for the exact keywords that the client wanted

Nothing complicated. Video created for $30. Plus a bunch of backlinks inside Elite SEO Push or other methods of link building. And you have the result on the plate. The result for which cool PR agencies would charge you over $1,000. Compare this price to the price of doing it the smart way – and the answer will shock you and will freak PR agencies out.

This is how SEO works for public relations in real life. Instead of creating tons of info, you create public opinion units and push them to page 1.

Finally you can work with laser targeted precision – this is something that will shape out the new standards for the whole industry. And save $$$, lots of $$$, tons of $$$ – check the PR budgets in the Internet, and you will understand what I mean by that.

Of course, if you are serious about
protecting the reputation of your brand…

… then an ideal solution for you is to create 10 different public opinion units and make them rank for the keyword that you need. Yes it takes efforts and resources, but the effect from building up a super positive image for your brand/product/service will pay you off times and times. AND these efforts and resources will cost you times, dozens of times and even hundreds of times less than the money that businesses have to pay to online media giants for this sort of help.

One more thing: only a small portion of people started to use SEO instruments in their full power. This market is super fresh and green. Do your own research and you will see that most of the public relation companies are talking about how to measure the effect from doing PR online, or how online is different from offiline, or how to make it work better for the business. But their instruments are still very old: “choose good keywords – submit press release/article/video” They don’t push their public opinion units with backlinks, they just wait until they get good positions. In SEO inventory they are still somewhere at the end of the 20th century. You and other FTS users are ahead of the market with access tools that build bunch of backlinks to any URL with any anchor text that you need for pushing up these lovely public opinion units.

What’s the Point of Creating these
Public Opinion Units?
Isn’t It Better to Build Backlinks and Get Traffic?!

Yes, it is great to get traffic. And backlinks will help in getting traffic.

BUT…

… don’t forget that people are social beings, and recently they are starting to convert into ONLINE social beings. One bad post on a forum that has managed to rank Google page 1 (for your product name) can kill half of your sales. And no one will care that this forum post is a complete fake with no factual support which was published by your greedy competitor. Most of the people will read it and will build their opinion based on this forum post.

Believe me, you can lose lots of sales, just because someone decided to pour sh*t on your product and this sh*t ranked nice for your product name in Google.

So, it is important to use SEO not only for ranking YOUR site higher, but also to use SEO together with the creation of public opinion.

It is not expensive, you don’t need the PR budgets of industry giants to do that. You can even do it yourself or hire others to do that.

But DO that. Be proactive. If you don’t do that, then don’t get surprised seeing others doing that with you, and pray God that they will do it in an objective and unbiased way.
