The most effective link building statergy

[jetpilot123]

For me i would have to say high quality directories, have been of the most value.

[rayter]

It's difficult to find good quality directories these days. Most of them are either dead or look like link farms.

[Hsekhar]

The best way to get quality links which actually matter is to get links from related niche established sites. Forum posting, directory submissions, social bookmarking etc are all secondary!

[colleentyler]

I think If you get more back links,You should do forum posting and social bookmarking.

[webmania]

Writing good article and submitting to different directories will help in developing back links

Directory submission are good if the directory that you're submitting to has a high page rank , Social bookmarking , Forums submission with your signature are also good it helps index your site.. google start indexing my site by posting here at submit express..Whatever SEO technique you do, it helps your sites increase your page rank as long as you do it ethically...

^I agree,. also as an SEO you must be updated to the new trend, techniques, and strategies and a lot of patience. submitting in a high PR submission site is just one of the elements in achieving a high PR or traffic. you must submit your site to it's proper category or has a good relevance. and good quality backlinks..

Finding blogs in your niche that allow dofollow in their comments is also a great way to get both links and incremental traffic

[me.julia72]

For me Its Social media networking and bookmarking sites , beside them commenting on blogs those are related to niche of my site and have dofollow plug-in on them are good source of Getting traffic and back links

[1-stopservice]

For me the normal link building ways are:

1. Forun postings with dofollow signature

2. Article submissions

3. Blog commenting with dofollow links

4. Social book marking

5. Directory submissions

Hi,

In my opinion i would say blog posting and social book markings are my success methods of link building.

Forum posting and articles witting are not much success for me.

thanks

Everybody wants a quick fix with no effort and no cost involved (who doesn't?) But the most effective techniques are the ones that require the most time and effort: Quality article submissions, social bookmarking, etc..

[ChiefLee]

I like the spelling of strategy in the title of the thread

Anyway, the best option is to use several different link strategies: blogs, forums, social bookmarks, directories...

I've been running through dozens of directories this last week. There are some awful ones trying to charge too much money. And the free ones take forever to post your link. There are some good ones out there but it takes some time.

Any comments about link exchanges? I know everybody is after one-way links these days, and for good reason. However, I wonder if link exchanges still help at all for PR. I heard that a link in is worth more than a link out. If this is true, then over time link exchanges will help a bit (especially if you are linking with high PR sites).

I actually found one site that ends up sending me about 20 new visitors a day, and I send him only 2-3. I suppose he doesn't check. This was a very good link exchange.
