Never ignore these link building tips

Look for different blogs online and you can find hundreds of link building techniques. You often get confused. You don’t know exactly which technique to use and for how long you will use it to your advantage. The truth about this matter is; There is no perfect technique in link building. Each technique has its own strength and weakness. Some techniques may work. Others cannot. While the rest is not what you need.

In other words, it is possible to search for a full list of link building techniques, but it is still up to you what to choose and why you are using it.

Submit URL

Submitting your site’s URL to multiple web directories is a submission-based technique. This type of technique cannot guarantee immediate traffic (especially when done for free), but it can still work. It can work effectively once you manually submit your page to popular search engine directories like Google, Yahoo!, Live Search, Ask. DMOZ is the most popular open directory today. You can submit links for free.

Post forum

Participating in the forum is a powerful way to promote yourself. A forum is like a public park in real life. When you walk through the park, you don’t just breathe fresh air. You also socialize with the people around you. You smile at them. After a short chat, some of them will be your friends and you will give them your contact numbers.

This is a similar setup in online forums. Once you register on the site, you immediately search for friends. You introduce yourself in your profile. Search for threads and reply to those that you can relate to.

It is wrong to expect too much attention if you are a new member. Marketing yourself is about consistency. If you wish to receive attention in the forum, your regular participation is required. Communicate with people by replying to your threads, help them solve their problems, share content, follow them on Twitter or Facebook, comment on their photos, and if possible, post your business URL in your signature.

Presentation article

Article marketing, according to SEOMoz’s Rand Fishkin, is the most fraudulent and nasty medium in search engine optimization due to duplication of ideas and the low quality of the content itself.

Yes, you might write or spin a long article and submit it to multiple directories, but think about the strategy – is this the right strategy for inviting people to read your article?

The answer is no.

Writing a long article, converting it into ten versions, and submitting these versions to directories is bad practice. You are wasting time and effort. No matter how well-written your article is, but it doesn’t get enough attention, it’s still useless.

Think big. You are only allowed one backlink in article directories and if you have ten in total, it doesn’t always mean that you have ten backlinks every day. Ten people in each directory will not directly click on your link.

To get it right, write an original article. Manually submit it to an article directory with high authority on the page, and once an article is published, it is the right time to manually circulate the URL on your social media.
