SEO Link Building Secrets
Link building is tough, unless you have something like a video that has gone viral and brought in a stupendous number of links in a short time.
The rest of us trudge along, building back links slowly and carefully, keeping them natural looking and raising no alarms. You can, of course, get involved in a link farm or a three-way link exchange, or buy a thousand links for $100 from an outsourcing firm, but those typically get found out by Google sooner or later, and then the Google smack-down happens and you have to start all over.
Gyutae Park at Winning the Web has a very good article on building quality links for your site. Since he has said it as well as or better than I could, and I’m busy getting ready for Christmas (just like you) take 5 minutes and head over to read his suggestions: The Secret to Making Every Link Count For Your SEO Rankings.
Happy Holidays to all my readers – I hope yours are warm and filled with love.

Hey Kay,
Thanks so much for the mention. I really like viral campaigns for the bursts of traffic and links that they provide. But besides that, you’re right – link building is a slow process that rewards those who trudge through it.
Happy holidays!!!

hi Kay,
I think you revealed the biggest secret to link building in your first four words, “Link building is tough.” I would say another “secret” is this: good sites will have a much easier time getting good links than bad sites.
Merry Christmas! Maybe Santa will bring us both some links this year!

Link building indeed can be quite hard at times. Thanks for the useful link ! It will be a great help to me.
Thank you for the link to such useful information. I completely agree that building safe links is hard and buying links should never be an option. Google seems to catch this practice very fast these days. For those of us interested in gaining links that will stick and not offending the all knowing Google we must take our time and do it right!
Hi Kay,
Great insights. the link you provided its awesome, thanks for sharing with us. keep writing.
Link building is a slow and tedious process. I don’t enjoy doing it – but it is a necessary evil.
I agree with the author…link building is definitely not easy..in fact i believe that it is the most tough task of SEO as it is slow and also there is no surety about the link approval!
This is really interesting articlel for all seo. Thank you for such useful information shared with all. I will use these tips.
I do agree with you. This is really help us to get more visitors and get good rankings.

That’s a really good article – thanks. The only part I’d disagree with is number 6 where you should get links from sites with a similar PageRank. Often new innovative sites with no PageRank attract many links when first launched. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing in my opinion.
Do what we do… drop comments that link back to your site. Even with so called “no follow” links there is always some credit given. Have a happy New Year SEODiva !!

Good links can be obtained on Forums and social media sites like digg. Just takes time but on a forum you usually are allowed 3 links in the signature, which shows on every comment.
Nice article on link building. The site you listed is a good one and had a few ideas i did not think of. One thing everyone should od is take thier time google does not like to see thousandsof links in a week or 2.

Very good information about Link Building. This is in my opinion the hardest part of a SEO process. Generally we have to have or create a great idea or offer something interesting (better if it is free) to make people link to us. There are some sites that can’t do this and don’t have or can’t create quality content. In theses cases, creativity makes the difference!
Good idea about Link Building. Thanks for the tips.

Even though link building is tough, lasting rewards always wait to those who work hard. Some people might call link builders as spammers but they are wrong. What’s wrong with leaving a warm appreciation–and a link that directs others to your website? I won’t mind them seeing them (the link builders’ trails) in my website.

Excellent tips in that article. I would like to add that a great way to build links is to include them in articles published on other web sites. There are various ways of doing this – Google “James Martell” for instance.

Quality is certainly more important. The improtance of quality related links has increased manifold in recent years. I have seen some top ranking websites with only a couple of hundred links whereas some websites fail to get a first page rank even with thousands of links.
yep, link building is tough enough, we need more time to do that.

Is having a customized video player on your website good for SEO and link building?
A video player is web tool. It could be designed to have an appearance that would remind of the certain brand and by having the options to be embedded and shared it could help generate links and thus contribute to the SEO efforts. I see it as a web content development, quality content or link bait. What do you think?
Thankyou this is a great article and was very helpful

I think ‘time’ is a very important aspect of linkbuilding. It just takes time to build up traffic and it’s hard to do it overnight.
Also at the end of the day, quality content will trump everything else.
rajs last blog post..Everybody Wants Free Traffic But Nobody Seems To Know How To Get It!
@raj – I agree with you. Quality content has not only always been important, but is becoming more so with local search.
If starting from scratch consider the domain name as if it is phrase specific i.e. http://www.bluewidgets.com, it is of course going to attract links with ‘blue widget’ in the link text.
hi……
The idea which has been given is very useful for me……The concept of link-building has been made easier by following these steps ….I’m trying to learn more concepts about Link-building..
It’s so true that link building is tough! But natural quality links are infinitely better than link farms and their like, and it’s well worth taking the time over building them.
