Complete List of Various Methods, Tactics, and Strategies to Build Back Links and Diversify Link Building Campaigns

Of course, I am a big fan and believer in diversifying link building sources and methods, in order to create a natural and gorgeous external link profile. My strategies have had great success in over fifty different markets, both niche and extremely competitive markets.

In an essence, there are only a handful of link building methods that I would recommend and do for my personal and clients projects.

Essentially those link building methods are as follows;

• By putting a static html link within your signature one can build a tremendous amount of backlinks, from a relevant or related forum of course. All one has to do, is to visit at least 5 different forums and make at least 2 daily posts, to supply a powerful link building campaign. An extremely easy backlink generation tactic, for those whom are consistant in their efforts.

Free Directory Submissions:

• Everyone knows that directory submissions are important, I would like to let you know that by not doing any monthly directory submissions, you ultimately allow much greater chances of your failure, against competitors whom are using these methods appropriately.

Examples of Free Link Directories:

• DMOZ.org

Paid Directory Submissions:

• Free directory subs are necessary, but alone they are not powerful enough to float a semi-competitive SEO campaign. However, by spending a minimal amount of money on paid directory listings, one can acquire seriously powerful and relevant backlinks from many of the oldest and most authoritative directories on the web.

Examples of Paid Link Directories:

• Dir.Yahoo.com – $300 per year
• BOTW.org – $150 per year or one time $300

Article Marketing:

• By writing and submitting a unique article to an authoritative article directory, one can acquire some of the most powerful back links in the game. Submitting to directories that allow content republishing is a best practice, this way you can continue to build new back-links months and even years later.
