Too many posts have talked, treat and will deal with linkbuilding. They have tried to treat the subject from different points of view. Most of the blogs tried to defend specific methods or blame and ignore others. They also focus on one part of linkbuilding. For example: they may focus on link exchange, article insertion and press release or quality vs quantity. On this post, we will share with you our experience on how to build a strong and naturel linking?

Directories

Even though directories are the oldest way to gain backlinks, they still the easiest and the free-way to gain backlinks. Yes, I know that the gained backlinks are nearly valueless. Nearly is not completely. Therefore, they can help if you got a bunch of them; and if you know how to choose the good directories, the fittest categories to your websites too. As far as I am concerned, I use directories to increase quantity of links. I should notice that sometimes few of them may turn to be quality backlinks.

Articles

“Why shall I create content and be forced to produce articles or hire someone to do that? I need backlinks not content. Could you explain what the relation is between producing articles and backlinks?” So, the answer is as the following, they are too many blogs, websites and bookmarks that generate content by publishing articles provided by people like me and you. “So what? Where is my backlink?” Blogs that publish such kind of articles, they permit you to add anchors to your articles. The numbers of anchors vary due to the number of words on each article:

• Articles of 300words = one anchor.
• Articles of 500words = two anchors.
• Articles of 700words and more = three anchors.

So, articles are a good way to get backlinks. Oh, yes they are, on condition, to produce relevant unique content that will push reader to share it on social websites and bloggers to refer to it on their blogs. If you succeed to create such buzz the article’s PR will raise and your website/blog will profit from that.

Press release

Press release has nothing to do with articles. They don’t support the use of jargon; they should be done the old way –a simple, structured and well-developed text. The purpose of press release is to announce something claimed as having new values. You can use them to promote and talk about your niche. Within your press release, you can use anchors text links too. And, remember like articles try to right excellent press release.

Blog Commenting and forum participation

Backlink could be generated from blogs commenting. It is better to find dofollow blogs that converse over the same subject. Comment the blog itself and avoid general and stupid comments, especially, automatic comments. Just to be honest and express your feeling, let the blogger feel that he is reading a human comment not robot one. Commenting on blogs is a profitable way to gain good backlinks, integrate and influence a specific community.

Forum participation is harder than blog commenting because it may hurt your business if you don’t know how to do it. To put a signature (anchor text link) on a forum you need to be careful and avoid being thought as a spammer. If so, most of the time your account will be blocked and you will receive negative comment. To avoid such embarrassing situation, participate more than once on that forum by answering and commenting on deferent subjects. Then, try to find a subject that you link may be a solution to it then propose it. You link should look naturel as much as possible.

These are, for me, the best and the easiest way to gain relevant, naturel backlinks. All what you need to do is to learn over your niche, your audience and analyze your competitors, and then choose your keywords that you want to rank for. I know that there are too many other ways but some of them that I’ll talk over on one of the next blogs.
