TOP LINK BUILDING TIPS

Include varied text (especially anchor text)
Use target keywords in your links but sure you vary text as much as possible.

Get links from related sites/pages
This is very important and is considered by many SEO experts to be more important than Google Page Rank.

Write articles and include links (great way for deep links)

For example “10 tips to ……..” or “A guide to getting better …..“. You can use our services to submit articles cost effectively to leading article submission sites.

Build links gradually (as sites would naturally do)
Placing hundreds or thousands of links to a new site in a few days will ring alarm bells with the major search engines and potentially get your site banned. Try to gradually build your links consistently over time.

Placed from pages with a varied PR (Google page rank)
Aim to get links form sites varying from PR 0 to PR 5+

Links from different IP addresses
Your links should come from a range totally different sites and IP addresses; both old trusted sites as well as new sites.

Come from reciprocal linking
Reciprocal links are still good but don’t have them as a majority of your backlinks. 3-way-linking is a good alternative but don’t use any patter.

However it is not a good idea to just aim to get hundreds of links from generic free directories. Do not aim to get hundreds of links from directories until you have thousands of links.

Establish authority so people link to you
Make sure you have useful and easy to read content on your site that is grammatically correct and error free. Ensure you also have an easy to read privacy policy and about us section.

Release press releases
Not only will this help build credibility to your website, it will help drive quality traffic and inbound links. Make sure you write an article that will be newsworthy and of interest, with no grammatical errors or spelling mistakes.

Get your content tagged on social sites
If you create original content of that you believe to be interesting or engaging, email a link to this content asking friends to tag it. You could quickly build interest and hence links from bloggers and social browsers.

Not be temporary
The age of your backlinks is important. It has even been speculated that this is a factor of the Google Sandbox filter. Strive to get permanent links. When renting links, rent for as long as possible.

Not have paid linking footprints around them
Words such as sponsors, advertisement and the like are spotted by Google and are devalued. If the majority of your backlinks come from such links it could maybe even do you harm.

Not come from pages that links to bad neighborhood
You should not place your links on
