10 Link Building Techniques for Web 2.0

I expect most of you have heard of Web 2.0. If you haven’t, Wikipedia defines it as "a second-generation of Internet-based services that let people collaborate and share information online in previously unavailable ways."

Now, we all know that the Internet is about sharing information, so what’s new? And how does Web 2.0 affect your online business?

Web 2.0 is all about the rise of consumer-driven contentsocial networking sites (My Space and Facebook), Folksomonies (Flickr and Del.icio.us), and Wikis (Wikipedia).

What makes Web 2.0 interesting from an online marketing point of view is that it offers (among other things) more link building opportunities for website owners. And we all know how important links are in the search engine optimization game. If you’ve forgotten, here’s an article on the importance of link building that will refresh your memory.

So, with Web 2.0 and link building in mind, I thought I try to come up with 10 link building techniques for Web 2.0. I’m sure there’s more (some of mine are oldies but goodies) so if any of you have suggestions, feel free to comment on this article.

10 Link Building Techniques for Web 2.0

1. Make your site, and your content worth linking to.
This may seem like obvious but you’d be amazed how many times I get link requests from sites that are a total mess. Not just design-wise but poorly thought-out or lacking in relevant, useful content. If you want to attract links from good quality sites make sure your site is of equal quality. Think bricks and mortar: you wouldn’t want your upscale retail fashion studio to be associated with a flea market.

2. Write and syndicate industry relevant articles.
Oh, the power of a great article. Did you know that article sites like Goarticles, isnare and Ideamarketers.com’s pages often rank high in the search engine results? Well, they do. And what’s more they can send targeted traffic your way.

Keep on the look-out for news in your industry then write an article on the subject. How-to articles like this on are particularly popular with readers and they’re easy to write. You can also submit your articles to social book-marking sites like Digg, Del.icio.us or Technorati. If your article gets elevated to the number one spot on Digg, hundreds of bloggers looking for content will see your site and may link to it.

3. Get the press on your side.
Public relations is not only a great way to spread the word about your company news but it can also attract links to your site. Either hire a public relations consultant or write your own press releases and submit them to hundreds of journalists, bloggers and media outlets via PRWeb or PRNewswire. A recent press release we submitted for a client resulted in several links to their site, and an increase in sales.

4. Start your own blog.
Yes, you do need one. Whatever it is you sell or whatever service you provide, there are people out there who are interested in what you have to say. Post useful information regularly; make your execution flawless and your grammar and punctuation spot on. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to get people to engage in discussions and link back to your site.

5. Create your own directory.
Although this is an old method of attracting links, it still works today. Build a directory of sites that relate but don’t directly compete with yours. Not only does a directory provide your visitors with useful information, it also builds incoming links.

6. Submit your site to directories.
Yahoo, DMOZ and other directories are still worth submitting to. Some directories allow free submissions others require a one-time or yearly fee. Whether they require payment or not, satisfy yourself about the quality of the directory before you submit. Remember: incoming links of low-quality may reflect badly on you.

7. Sponsor or donate to a dot org.
When search engines think "authority" websites, chances are they’re thinking of charitable organizations. So, a link or two from a few .org domains will help. Consider making a donation to charities or providing products or services free to charities that are relevant to your industry. Many non-profits link to businesses that help them in some way. You’ll gain quality links, attract free publicity (you can even write and submit a press release about your charitable tendencies), and best of all, you’ll feel good.

8. Network locally.
Join your local chamber of commerce and the Better Business Bureau – you’ll receive a high-quality link back when they list your company on their sites. Submit to city and government resource sites and develop business relationships with non-competing companies locally – you’ll profit online and off.

9. Be Sociable.
Many large companies are setting up pages on MySpace, Squidoo and other social networking sites. You can too. Use these sites to create "buzz" and position yourself as an expert in your field, not to aggressively advertise your products or services.

10. Pay-per-click
Consider using paid search advertising on Google, Yahoo or MSN to sell your products, build brand awareness, and create a few links from relevant content sites. Of course, the main objective is to sell, but, even if you don’t sell much using this channel, people who come to your site through your ads, may like it so much they’ll link to you.

Is CSS2 Hurting Your Link Building Efforts?

To webmasters that aren’t familiar with this relatively new technique, the css scroll box uses a cascading style sheet property called "overflow" that looks like an iframe when viewed in a web browser. Since iframes have traditionally been difficult for search engines to index, using a web design technique that gives the "appearance" of an iframe can raise suspicions about link building ethics.

While working on an email link building campaign for a website design company, I received a reply from a potential link partner as follows:

"Well you’re using an internal iframe so the place your links are don’t have a good Google PR. No thanks…"

I knew exactly what he was talking about, but he was gravely mistaken. The problem was that our client was using CSS2 and a div tag to display the content of their link partner directory in a style sheet generated scroll box.

To webmasters that aren’t familiar with this relatively new technique, the css scroll box uses a cascading style sheet property called "overflow" that looks like an iframe when viewed in a web browser. Since iframes have traditionally been difficult for search engines to index, using a technique that gives the "appearance" of an iframe can raise suspicions about link building ethics. The truth is that while iframes can cause problems, search engines have no difficulty following links located within a css scroll box.

I replied to the potential link partner that wrote me the email with an explanation of the technique but it was too late. I’d either lost the trust of this particular webmaster or damaged his pride. Either way, I lost a link partner.

I advised that my client remove the scroll box to avoid confusion but the scroll box was a consistent element in their design so they were unwilling to change it. This made my link building efforts for this client more difficult, but I learned a valuable lesson that I can apply to future campaigns.

In summary, you should avoid the use of css generated scroll boxes on your "resources" or "partners" pages, if you’re running an email link building campaign, until webmasters become more educated about the new design options available with CSS2.

Link Building – Link your Website to SEO Success

Link building is one of the most important off-page search engine optimization techniques. Getting quality incoming links from websites that are related to your business can strengthen your campaign and get you higher PageRank on search engines.

In the Online marketing domain, success is highly dependant on your search engine optimization campaign. As more and more users get hooked to popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc for the smallest of queries, high rankings on these websites will amount to increase in your traffic influx, and consequently, sales.

The process of optimization comprises two basic techniques – paid and unpaid optimization. The latter is a natural or organic method of optimization, which involves working on a website’s content, Meta Tags and link building programme so as to get higher listings on SERPs. Whereas, the former involves a process of bidding for placement on search engines. Here, the advertisers pay search engines for every click generated on ads placed on their result pages.

Link popularity is one of the most influential factors in the world of organic optimization. A tedious and long-term strategy, it is a process wherein you have to get your links placed on other websites so as to get traffic diverted from them to you. Experts insist that if your site has no incoming links from other websites, you have no chance of being even indexed by search engines.

Link for PageRank

Link exchange is also important for websites looking to attain higher PageRank (PR), especially in relation to Google’s algorithm. PR is determined by the quantity and strength of links that point to your website. Therefore, a well-strategised link exchange programme can do wonders for your business.

Quality Linking

A number of online surveys on the success of optimization programmes have proved that the inability of getting sufficient quality links has doomed many a web business. Therefore, your objective should be to conjure as many high-quality links as possible. Even though every individual link might not ring in huge volumes of traffic; all your links put together will, in due course, get you increased traffic influx.

The quality of a link is primarily determined by what other sites ’say’ about your website on their pages. Even if you have a huge quantity of links pointing to your site, they will all be useless if their texts do not contain keywords relevant to your business. Or more so, if the content of their linking page is not related to the content on your site.

If the meta tags (esp title), content and anchor text of a linked page are somewhere related to your website, it can be described as a quality link. Thus, link quality is mainly derived by link relevancy (to your online business).

Linking Dos and Don’ts

Even though you might be tempted to go and out and build links with every possible website, you need to exercise caution. There are a number of sites and link farms that, when linked to, can harm your business by earning you a bad reputation in the eyes of search engines.

Listed below are a few linking tips by search engine optimization experts for the betterment of your campaign:

1) Do exchange links with sites that offer similar services as yours. This will ensure that you get quality links that can boost your popularity.

2) Do link up with industry associations and important directories like Open Directory Project (ODP or DMOZ). These directories provide links to thousands of directories and being listed with them will help you get noticed easily.

3) Link to all pages on your site from your homepage and sitemap page. This will boost the PR of your website.

4) When you contribute to blogs, social networks or newsgroups, make sure that you include a link to your website whilst signing off.

5) Keep a constant check on who all are linking to your website. By doing so, you can get into a constructive link exchange programme that’ll stand your campaign in good stead.

6) Avoid the use of ‘Click Here’ as the anchor text of your links. Search engines might not be too interested in scanning a page that has such a text for a link. Instead, try and incorporate a few of your important keywords.

7) When doing SEO, do not exchange links with link farms or banned websites. You might eventually end up getting your own site blacklisted on search engines.

Do not link to sites that are not related to your business. Because they will not have your prospective buyers as visitors, there is simply no point in associating with them.

Keeping these simple points, but crucial points in mind will ensure that your campaign stays on the right track. Stick to search engine guidelines without being too ambitious and impulsive with regard to your link exchange programmes. It is definitely better to bide your time and be patient than go about establishing links with websites that can put your online business in doldrums.

5 New Rules for Link Building

Have you been reading about link building but don’t know where to start? Are you an experienced SEO specialist using the same methods you always used? Read on to find out how new linking rules will affect the future of your website.

One way links work for search positioning. There’s no doubt about it. But, have you considered that what works today may not work in the future? One exciting aspect about search engines is that nobody really knows everything. That leaves room for webmasters who are willing to research, test, and put into practice the best search engine optimization techniques.

These five rules for one way linking can help steer you in the right direction.

Rule #1: You have to be proactive. Google considers a high quality link something you have to earn. You earn these links by partnering with sites. In order for a partnership to work, you have to develop a relationship. I think more webmasters are open to establishing vital community relationships. It takes trust and a lot of patience for these relationships builds. Focus on what you can do for someone else.

Rule #2: Keep an open mind. High PageRank still lingers in most webmasters’ minds. But, by concentrating on high PageRank sites, we miss out on other linking opportunites. Most of us understand that PageRank doesn’t happen overnight. That’s why it’s important to seek out lower PR, high quality sites. The advantage is that these webmasters are more open to establishing partnerships.

Rule #3: Site age is a big factor. I’ve put together my owning ranking system for evaluating a site’s link "worthiness". One big factor is site age. Any site that has been around since the late 1990s is going to have a higher "score". These sites have weathered search engine updates, bad economies, and bad press. All else being equal, I tend to lean towards site age as the determining factor for a potential link partner.

Rule #4: Stop worrying about what you can’t contol. I get questions all the time from people wanting to know if they can re-design their sites, or link to other sites, or change hosting companies. They want to know if these activities will ruin their search engine rankings. My response is always the same: do what’s best for you and your customers. Don’t NOT do something because you’re worried it will ruin your SEO work. If you have a solid customer base, your search engine rankings won’t be as crucial. The viral aspect of the web is extremely underestimated. Search traffic is only one source of traffic.

Rule #5: Can you be trusted?. Having a solid client list, establishing relationships with other webmasters, provding great customer service. These activites are all based on trust. Can you be trusted to follow through? If you are trustworthy, your link building will be trustworthy. If you’re in it for the short term, like all spammers, then you can’t be trusted.

The web is wide open for those webmasters who are willing to develop relationships for the long run. In the future, one way links will be graded on trust. So, you need to ask yourself, am I trustworthy? It’s give and take. Are you willing to give before you can take?

Link Building – Natural Linking Behaviour

When building links you should always be careful not to represent unnatural link behaviour. Failure to do so may see you link building efforts wasted.

Effective link building is a complex affair and can be an extremely time consuming and laborious task. However quality links are extremely powerful and a constant flow of incoming links is essential for any website hoping to compete in the search engine marketplace.

When building links you should always be careful not to represent unnatural link behaviour. Failure to do so may see you link building efforts wasted. So how do you avoid being flagged as a site that participates in unnatural linking behaviour? Here are a few key pointers you should keep at the forefront of your mind when building links:

Deep Linking Google will give more weight to a site with 500 links all pointing to different pages on a site than it will a site with 750 links all pointing to the homepage. Link exchange programs can be used to acquire high volumes of links in an effort to boost rankings. The traits of a website that participates in such a program are a high percentage of inbound links all pointing to the same destination URL.

Just like any other tactic that becomes popular it often finds itself being abused by unethical SEO’s. And just like with previous tactics, such as stuffing the meta keywords tag, the major search engines adjust their algorithms to filter out websites that employ these tactics from their results.Even if you don’t participate in such a program, you should be mindful that your inbound links don’t all point to the homepage if you want to avoid triggering such filters.Another point to consider is that, with natural links, a website has little control over where an external site links to. Natural links will usually link to a page deep in the websites structure.

Varying Anchor Text

Many webmasters believe that the more keyword rich anchor text links to the target page the better. Wrong! As discussed, when a site acquires links naturally they have little control over where the external site links to. This is the same for the anchor text of natural links i.e. the webmaster has little control of the anchor text of inbound links.If you build high volumes of inbound links with duplicated anchor text you may be signalling to the search engines that there is unnatural linking activity. A high percentage of duplicated anchor text is also another trait of websites that participate in link exchange programs.

Of course it would be madness not to use your keywords in the anchor text of inbound links but to avoid triggering filters you should use variations of your keywords. If your site is about Link Building then, by all means, build links with that phrase in the anchor text but also build links with the terms "Links", "Building Links", "Linking Services", "Linking Strategies", "One-way links" and "Inbound Links" in the anchor text.

Balancing the Equation

There are many ways you can acquire links including Blogs, forum signatures, reciprocal links, articles, directories, press releases, link worthy content, site-wides, buying links and social media marketing, to name but a few. It is highly likely that a website with compelling content will acquire links from a variety of these sources. It will have press releases announcing new content, articles reviewing the site, listings in trusted directories and communities will be discussing the site in Blogs and forums.

A site that acquires links unnaturally may have a high percentage of links from article resource boxes or reciprocating sites. To avoid being picked out as a site that participates in unnatural linking behaviour you should ensure your site has inbound links from as many different types of source as possible.

Summary

Always ensure you have inbound links from a wide variety of sources to avoid triggering unnatural linking filters. Constantly analyse your back links and compare the types of links against each other. If you find you have no links from Blogs, then go off and start participating in a relevant discussion. If you notice there has been no recent news about your site then write a press release announcing the great new feature you have just added for your users. And if you notice that all of your links are from the same source i.e. reciprocal, then build more links from other sources to balance the equation. In all cases vary the anchor text and the destination URL of inbound links.

Link Building, One Of The Best Ways To Achieve Top 10 Placement

In any website promotion campaign, link building is an essential part, not just for attracting visitors, but for increasing your search engine rankings. However, you don’t just want any links. You want quality links. The best links are one-way links from recognized authority, well established sites and sites with content directly related to the content of your site. The older the links are; the better. You will need to give it some time to see real results from your link building efforts. Also, do your link building slowly and steadily over time, not all at once.

Here are some excellent ways to increase your links:

Directory Submissions

Directory submissions are an excellent way to build your links. Smaller, general directories offer one way links that are usually free and permanent. You should also submit to DMOZ.org, which provides results to Google’s web directory and thousands of other websites and search engines all over the net. Also, consider paying for listing on the biggest directories and specialty directories that pertain to your content. Some paid directories to consider include Yahoo Directory, Business.com, GoGuides, Best of The Web and the Microsoft Small Business directory. The fees range from $40 to hundreds of dollars per year, however, these major directories can also be a good source of traffic, depending on the category your site is listed in, as well as provide an excellent one way link for link building.

Content Distribution

Content distribution can mean many things, like offering free ebooks, videos, downloads etc. but one of the main ways to offer free content to other webmasters is through article writing. You write an article on a topic related to the content of your website and then distribute it to article directories. Your article will then be made available to millions of publishers, including website owners, bloggers, e-zine owners and offline publishers looking for content. When they publish your article, they must include a link to your website and your author bio. You can potentially get hundreds or thousands of free, one-way links from just one syndicated article.

Press Release

You can write a press release announcing your website or something about your website, then announce it via PRWeb. This can result in publicity and one-way links to your website from many types of media.

Forum Posting

Find forums and message boards around the net that are related to your content. If you have a site that sells cat collars, you’ll want to find a forum where cat owners chat and discuss their cats. Join and then add your URL to your forum signature. Contribute to the discussion and abide by the forum rules, and you’ll get some targeted traffic and one-way links.

Link Exchanges

Link exchanges with high quality, directly related sites can also be effective for link building purposes. Find potential link exchange partners by searching Google for one of your keyword phrases. Don’t exchange links with link farms or sites that have huge directories of reciprocal links. You want a quality link exchange partner, so be choosy with which sites you exchange links with.

These are some of the most popular and effective ways to build links, but there are dozens of other methods. Link building is simply essential for bringing traffic to your site and achieving top 10 rankings for your desired keyword phrases.

Ink Pink Do Your Links Stink? : Link Building Strategies That Work

If you’re into link building, then you don’t want to miss these link building techniques that will boost your website or web business’s traffic. Don’t use links that stink!

When you own and operate an online business, your number one concern is most likely how to get more visitors to your money making website so that they can see the products and services you offer, and hopefully make a purchase.

When you think of visitors you might think of customers walking into a store, and in order for them to find your store, you have to have some advertisements running so people know you exist, what you offer, where you are, and how to get to you.

Internet businesses are really no different, except that the way you reach an online market may be a little different from the offline markets. You can post ads around the net, and you can put up squeeze pages to get web surfers to sign up for your newsletter.

But what you really need to think about and focus a lot of your energy on when building an online business is building links so that customers can find you. Not just any links, but good quality links.

You’ve probably already heard many times over that the best way to get good quality links fast is by writing and distributing quality articles, and blogging as much as possible.

Just note that when you write articles and blog posts, it’s not just about coming up with enough words – you need to use keywords that are being searched by your potential visitors in the search engines.

This is where search engine optimization, or SEO, comes in. You need to get your articles and blog posts optimized for the search engines. This means researching keywords with a good keyword research tool, using the ones that will bring you traffic, and placing them wisely within your article and blog posts.

What I mean by that is that your chosen keywords and keyword phrases should be in the title of your article or blog post. When you do this, you will get noticed much faster by the search engine spiders and your post will show up when you do a Google search.

Scatter those same keywords throughout your post, being careful not to overdo it. One keyword per paragraph is plenty.

Another technique of linking using your articles and blog posts is by using hypertext links within your actual articles and posts. Hypertext links get more attention from the search engines than just regular text, as well as using bold letters or italics.

Also, when you use links within your text, and use the keywords you have carefully chosen, then deep link back to another page in your site, rather than always just your main page or main blog page, then you will find yourself with more traffic.

This is because you are pointing to more pages within your site as a whole, and leading your customers to other related, and helpful links that are on the same subject they are reading about and interested in.

Another way to gather links pointing back to your site is by surfing the web for sites related to your content. You can also buy software that helps you do this search, or just search Google for the high PR sites you want to link to that have good content like you also have.

Reciprocal linking can be done with these sites, providing a link to each other’s site. While reciprocal links can be effective, they can also be detrimental to your site’s ranking. It’s not so important these days to worry about linking for page rank though. Concentrate more on getting quality links from quality sites that have quality content.

As you can see, the focus here is really on quality. If you offer quality, you will get quality people linking to you naturally.

There are other good ways to link that you can explore, but if you know these top methods of linking and how to go about it properly, then your links will get out there, get seen, and get clicked on.

Remember that linking is all about content and keywords and if you know this, and apply what you know consistently, then you will do great with your linking strategy. Don’t think you can do just a little bit and then stop. It is an ongoing process that requires your love and attention.

101 Link Building Tips To Market Your Website

Link Building… Time-intensive. Frustrating. Sometimes confusing. Yet Unavoidable. Because ultimately, it’s still the trump card for higher rankings.

Many of us have been hoping that it would go away. In Brett Tabke’s 5/18 Robots.txt entry, he echoed a sentiment that many, many webmasters hold on to as a hope:

What happens to all those Wavers that think [i]Getting Links = SEO[/i] when that majority of the Google algo is devalued in various ways? Wavers built their fortunes on "links=seo". When that goes away, the Wavers have zero to hold on to.

The pertinent questions:

1. Will link building still be very important for rankings in the medium term?
2. When will link popularity be devalued in favor of other algo elements (that are less tedious, from a webmaster’s point of view)?

The answers:

1. Sorry, but link building is still going to be the SEO trump card for the foreseeable future.
2. I wouldn’t hold your breath for search engine algorithms to place less importance on link popularity until the Semantic Web arrives, or maybe when HTTP gets replaced by a new protocol. Because links are still the basic connector, the basic relationship, on the Web. And for the forseeable future they’re going to be the easiest way for a computer program to judge the importance and trustworthiness of a Web page.

What will happen to the way search algorithms score links is already happening. The Google algo has become much more elegant and advanced, devaluing staggering amount of links that shouldn’t count, and placing more emphasis on trusted links. And the trust and juice given by those links is then verified by elements like user data, domain age, and other relatively hard-to-spoof factors.

But please, don’t fool yourself. Links that should count are still the key to rankings (in Google, at least and MSN and Yahoo! are only a few short years behind).

71 Good Ways to Build Links:

Love for Lists

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).

2. Create 10 easy tips to help you [insert topic here] articles. Again, these are exceptionally easy to link to.

3. Create extensive resource lists for a specific topic (see Mr Ploppy for inspiration).

4. Create a list of the top 10 myths for a specific category.

5. Create a list of gurus/experts. If you impress the people listed well enough, or find a way to make your project look somewhat official, the gurus may end up linking to your site or saying thanks. (Sometimes flattery is the easiest way to strike up a good relationship with an "authority".)

Developing Authority & Being Easy to Link At

6. Make your content easy to understand so many people can understand and spread your message. (It’s an accessibility thing.)

7. Put some effort in to minimize grammatical or spelling errors, especially if you need authoritative people like librarians to link to your site.

8. Have an easily accessible privacy policy and about section so your site seems more trustworthy. Including a picture of yourself may also help build your authority.

PPC as a Link Building Tool

9. Buy relevant traffic with a pay per click campaign. Relevant traffic will get your site more visitors and brand exposure. When people come to your site, regardless of the channel in which they found it, there is a possibility that they will link to you.
News & Syndication

10. Syndicate an article at EzineArticles, GoArticles, iSnare, etc. The great thing about good article sites is that their article pages actually rank highly and send highly qualified traffic.

11. Submit an article to industry news site. Have an SEO site? Write an article and submit to WebProNews. Have a site about BLANK? Submit to BLANKinformationalsite.com.

12. Syndicate a press release. Take the time to make it GOOD (compelling, newsworthy). Email it to some handpicked journalists and bloggers. Personalize the email message. For good measure, submit it to PRWeb, PRLeap, etc.

13. Track who picks up your articles or press releases. Offer them exclusive news or content.

14. Trade articles with other webmasters.

15. Email a few friends when you have important relevant news asking them for their feedback and/or if they would mind referencing it if they find your information useful.

16. Write about, and link to, companies with "in the news" pages. They link back to stories and blog posts which cover their developments. This is obviously easiest if you have a news section or blog. Do a Google search for [your industry + "in the news"].

17. Perform surveys and studies that make people feel important. If you can make other people feel important they will help do your marketing for you for free. Salary.com did a study on how underpaid mothers were, and they got many high quality links.
Directories, Meme Trackers & Social Bookmarking

18. This tip is an oldie but goodie: submit your site to DMOZ and other directories that allow free submissions.

19. Submit your site to paid directories. Another oldie. Just remember that quality matters.

20. Create your own topical directory about your field of interest. Obviously link to your own site, deeplinking to important content where possible. Of course, if you make it into a truly useful resource, it will attract links on its own.

21. Tag related sites on sites like Del.icio.us. If people find the sites you tag to be interesting, emotionally engaging, or timely they may follow the trail back to your site.

22. If you create something that is of great quality make sure you ask a few friends to tag it for you. If your site gets on the front page of Digg or on the Del.icio.us popular list, hundreds more bloggers will see your site, and potentially link to it.

23. Look at meme trackers to see what ideas are spreading. If you write about popular spreading ideas with plenty of original content (and link to some of the original resources), your site may get listed as a source on the meme tracker site.
Local & Business Links

24. Join the Better Business Bureau.

25. Get a link from your local chamber of commerce.

26. Submit your link to relevant city and state governmental resources. (Easier in some countries than in others.)

27. List your site at the local library’s Web site.

28. See if your manufacturers or retailers or other business partners might be willing to link to your site.

29. Develop business relationships with non-competing businesses in the same field. Leverage these relationships online and off, by recommending each other via links and distributing each other’s business cards.

30. Launch an affiliate program. Most of the links you pick up will not have SEO value, but the added exposure will almost always lead to additional "normal" links.
Easy Free Links

31. Depending on your category and offer, you will find Craigslist to be a cheap or free classified service.

32. It is pretty easy to ask or answer questions on Yahoo! Answers and provide links to relevant resources.

33. It is pretty easy to ask or answer questions on Google Groups and provide links to relevant resources.

34. If you run a fairly reputable company, create a page about it in the Wikipedia or in topic specific wikis. If it is hard to list your site directly, try to add links to other pages that link to your site.

35. It takes about 15 minutes to set up a topical Squidoo page, which you can use to look like an industry expert. Link to expert documents and popular useful tools in your fields, and also create a link back to your site.

36. Submit a story to Digg that links to an article on your site. You can also submit other content and have some of its link authority flow back to your profile page.

37. If you publish an RSS feed and your content is useful and regularly updated, some people will syndicate your RSS content (and some of those will provide links unfortunately, some will not).

38. Most forums allow members to leave signature links or personal profile links. If you make quality contributions some people will follow these links and potentially read your site, link at your site, and/or buy your products.
Have a Big Heart for Reviews

39. Most brands are not well established online, so if your site has much authority, your review related content often ranks well.

40. Review relevant products on Amazon.com. We have seen this draw in direct customer enquiries and secondary links.

41. Create product lists on Amazon.com that review top products and also mention your background (LINK!).

42. Review related sites on Alexa to draw in related traffic streams.

43. Review products and services on shopping search engines like ePinions to help build your authority.

44. If you buy a product or service you really like and are good at leaving testimonials, many of those turn into links. Two testimonial writing tips make them believable, and be specific where possible.
Blogs & the Blogosphere

45. Start a blog. Not just for the sake of having one. Post regularly and post great content. Good execution is what gets the links.

46. Link to other blogs from your blog. Outbound links are one of the cheapest forms of marketing available. Many bloggers also track who is linking to them or where their traffic comes from, so linking to them is an easy way to get noticed by some of them.

47. Comment on other blogs. Most of these comments will not provide much direct search engine value, but if your comments are useful, insightful, and relevant they can drive direct traffic. They also help make the other bloggers become aware of you, and they may start reading your blog and/or linking to it.

48. Technorati tag pages rank well in Yahoo! and MSN, and to a lesser extent in Google. Even if your blog is fairly new you can have your posts featured on the Technorati tag pages by tagging your posts with relevant tags.

49. If you create a blog make sure you list it in a few of the best blog directories.
Design as a Linking Element

50. Web 2.0-ify your site. People love to link to anything with AJAX. Even in the narrowest of niches, there is some kind of useful functionality you can build with AJAX.

51. Validate and 508 your site. This (indirect) method makes your site more trustworthy and linkable, especially from governmental sites or design-oriented communities. There are even a few authoritative directories of standards-compliant sites.

52. Order a beautiful CSS redesign. A nice design can get links from sites like CSS Vault.
Hire Help

53. Hire a publicist. Good old fashioned ‘PR’ (not PageRank) can still work wonders. Andy Hagans now offers a link baiting publicity service.

54. Hire a consultant. Yes, you can outsource link building. Just make sure to go with someone good. We recommend WeBuildPages, Debra Mastaler and, ahem, Andy Hagans.
Link Trading

55. Swap some links. What?! Did we really just recommend reciprocal link building? Yes, on a small scale, and with relevant partners that will send you traffic. Stay away from the link trading hubs and networks.

56. In case you didn’t get the memo when swapping links, try to get links from within the content of relevant content pages. Do not try to get links from pages that list hundreds of off topic link partners. Only seek link exchanges that you would consider pursuing even if search engines did not exist. Instead of thinking just about your topic when exchanging links, think about demographic audience sets.
Buying Sites, Renting Links & Advertisements

57. Rent some high quality links from a broker. Text Link Ads is the most reputable firm in this niche.

58. Rent some high quality links directly from Web sites. Sometimes the most powerful rented links come direct from sites not actively renting links.

59. Become a sponsor. All sorts of charities, contests, and conferences link to their sponsors. This can be a great way to gain visibility, links, and a warm feeling in your heart.

60. Sell items on eBay and offer to donate the profits to a charity. Many charities will link both to the eBay auction and to your site.

61. Many search algorithms seem biased toward older established sites. It may be faster to buy an old site with a strong link profile, and link it to your own site, than to try to start building authority links from scratch.
Use the Courts (Proceed with Caution)

62. Sue Google.

63. Get sued by a company people hate. When Aaron was sued by Traffic Power, he got hundreds or thousands of links, including links from sites like Wired and The Wall Street Journal.
Freebies & Giveaways

64. Hold a contest. Contests make great link bait. A few-hundred-dollar prize can result in thousands of dollars worth of editorial quality links. Enough said.

65. Build a tool collection. Original and useful tools (and collections of tools) get a lot of link love. What do you think ranking for mortgage calculator is worth?

66. Create and release open source site design templates for content management systems like Wordpress. Don’t forget the "Designed by example.com" bit in the footer!

67. Offer free samples in exchange for feedback.

68. Release a Firefox extension. Make sure you have a download and/or support page on your site which people can link to.
Conferences & Social Interaction

69. It is easy to take pictures of important events and tell narratives about why they are important. Pictures of (drunk?) "celebrities" in your industry make great link bait.

70. Leverage new real world relationships into linking relationships. If you go to SEO related conferences, people like Tim Mayer, Matt Cutts, and Danny Sullivan are readily accessible. Similarly, in other industries, people who would normally seem inaccessible are exceptionally accessible at trade conferences. It is much easier to seem "real" in person. Once you create social relationships in person, it is easy to extend that onto the web.

71. Engaging, useful, and interesting interviews are an easy way to create original content. And they spread like wildfire.
30 Bad Ways to Build Links

Here are a few link buiding methods that may destroy your brand or get your site banned/penalized/filtered from major search engines, or both.
Directories

72. Submit your site to 200 cheesy paid directories (averaging $15 a pop) that send zero traffic and sell offtopic run-of-site links.
Forum Spam

73. List 100 Web sites in your signature file.

74. Exclusively post only when you can add links to your sites in the post area.

75. Post nothing but "me too" posts to build your post count. Use in combination with a link-rich signature file.

76. Ask questions about who provides the best [WIDGET], where [WIDGET] is an item that you sell. From the same IP address create another forum account and answer your own question raving about how great your own site is.

77. As a new member to various forums, ask the same question at 20 different forums on the same day.

78. Post on forum threads that are years outdated exclusively to link to your semi-related website.

79. Sign up for profiles on forums you never intend on commenting on.
Blog Spam

80. Instead of signing blog comments with your real name, sign them with spammy keywords.

81. Start marketing your own site hard on your first blog comment. Add no value to the comment section. Mention nothing other than you recently posted on the same subject at _____ and everyone should read it. Carpet bomb dozens of blogs with this message.

82. Say nothing unique or relevant to the post at hand. Make them assume an automated bot hit their comments.

83. Better yet, use automated bots to hit their comments. List at least 30 links in each post. Try to see if you can hit any servers hard enough to make them crash.

84. Send pings to everyone talking about a subject. In your aggregation post, state nothing of interest. Only state that other people are talking about the topic.

85. Don’t even link to any of the sites you are pinging. Send them pings from posts that do not even reference them.
Garbage Link Exchanges

86. Send out link exchange requests mentioning PageRank.

87. Send link exchange emails which look like an automated bot sent them (little or no customization, no personal names, etc.).

88. Send link exchange requests to Matt Cutts, Tim Mayer, Tim Converse, Google, and Yahoo!.

89. Get links from nearly-hidden sections of websites listing hundreds or thousands of off topic sites.
Spam People in Person

90. Go to webmaster conferences and rave about how rich you are, and how your affiliates make millions doing nothing.

91. Instead of asking people what their name is, ask what their URL is. As soon as you get their URL ask if they have linked to your site yet and if not, why not.
Be Persistant

92. Send a webmaster an alert to every post you make on your website.

93. Send a webmaster an email every single day asking for them to link to your website.

94. Send references to your site to the same webmaster from dozens of different email accounts (you sly dog).

95. If the above do not work to get you a free link, offer them $1 for their time. Increase your offer by a dollar each day until they give in.
Getting Links by Being a Jerk

96. Emulate the RIAA. When in doubt, file a lawsuit against a 12-year-old girl. (Failing that, obtain bad press by any means necessary.)

97. Steal content published by well known names. Strip out any attribution. Aggregate many popular channels and just wait for them to start talking about you.

98. Send thousands of fake referrals at every top ranking Web site, guaranteeing larger boobs, a 14-inch penis (is that length or girth?), or millions of dollars in free, unclaimed money.

99. Wear your URL on your t-shirt. Walk or drive your car while talking on a cell phone or reading a book. When you run into other people say "excuse you, jerk".

100. Spill coffee on people or find creative ways to insult people to coax them into linking at your site.

101. Sue other webmasters for deep linking to your site. Well, this is more "hilariously dumb" than it is a "bad linking practice".

I can’t believe you have made it to the end!!
