Hi friends... I'm a new person into seo. Can anyone tell new link building techniques other than
1) Reciprocal link building
2) Directory submission
3) Submitting articles
4) Link baiting

You have asked an interesting question. I will keep a close watch over this thread to know the latest link building technique (if any).:eek:

Getting people to link to you through noteworthy activities on your part - I guess a form of link bait.

Giving away tools that link back to you.

This may also be of help

I will suggest an independent link building department for our company. I would like to thank the webmaster for providing an important link in this post.:)

I made very good experiences with Receivelinks.
After 3 month I see dramatically increase in search linsting placement on Google and 10 times more visitors on the test site I had before for the test site.
This method ismuch more powerful than directory listing and traditionally link exchange, and also than article submissions.

All the long tail keyword phrases I added to the link exchange are now uder the first 30 search listings in Google, before they were > 100.

I also gave LinkVault a try, but I cannot recommend this service, I don't get any answer to my support requests from them at all.
From <snip> I got always an answer within 12 hours.

Some companies sell links for thousands of dollars each, but Adagio Teas can acquire thousands of inbound links simply by giving away a $20 tea brewer and some sample teas. Hardly seems fair, does it? The reason this works well for Adagio is because people like the idea of getting something for free. And if you look closely at their link rewards program, you’ll notice what else they are doing. Think about it - what is Adagio giving away for free and how much does it really cost them? Once people sample Adagio’s products and like them, naturally, they will want more and that translates into more orders. Adagio is building a repeat customer base and their brand at the same time they are building their inbound links. Three birds, one stone — now that’s what I call really smart marketing.

New link building technique is social bookmarking which give both traffic and link

Social Bookmarking, Blogging, Press Releases, Forum Discussions

links in the content is the latest link building technique, I think. What u say guys?

i use link building techniques such as article syndication, social interaction thru forums and blogs, and advertisement

Pls can anyone explain me hw link building can be done thru social bookmarking.....

The most basic -- and future proof -- form of link building is creating content that other folks want to link to.

Pls can anyone explain me hw link building can be done thru social bookmarking.....

some people use social bookmarking to be told what people they like are looking at etc. So when it gets bookmarked it drives traffic and if the story is good it often gets written about by some of these people

As far as i know Blogging, Social Bookmarking, Social Media, Forum Posting and Linkbait are one of the most effective link build strategies.

forum posting is okay for sites that allow signature or link drops... we don't and many others restrict them too....

One of the most time and cost effective techique of Search Engine Optimization is though the use of directory submissions. When online businesses want a way to effectively promote and gain exposure for their websites they turn to quality web directories. There are many other articles and blog posts all across the internet documenting the benefits of link popularity and the use of web directories. By submitting sites for review at quality web directories you can obtain relevant, quality inbound links to your website to help improve search engine results and traffic to your website.:)

I can't suggest u latest link building technique because its depend on your site. If your site is interesting so everyone will give u link easily then u can use one way linking and there is no hard work but if your site not so much interesting so u have much hard work u should use reciprocal linking and give your link of high pr sites and add them links. show your site in your every details in forum. keep in touch ragulerly in forums.

Social Bookmarking, Blogging, Press Releases, Forum Discussions

Forum Discussions and Blog Comments are waste because it has nofollow attribute most of the time.

Paid Advertisement does not have any value since google are able to detect whether it is sponsored ad or not.

Forum Discussions and Blog Comments are waste because it has nofollow attribute most of the time.

Not necessarily. Just because a link won't "count" towards link popularity doesn't mean it's not valuable. The buzz and the traffic that can come from it can mean more than a thousand links that no one ever sees. Plus, they are a great source for online reputation management. It depends on how you view link building. There's more benefits than just "getting links."

Our topic of discussion is "Wat is the latest link building technique" which is about link building to increase search engine position and we are talking about context.

When I written "Forum Discussions and Blog Comments are waste because it has nofollow attribute most of the time." I am writing in this context to improve SERP and PR and not about advantage of link building. So surely when a link is not being followed by search engines, it is waste of time and money.

do one-way link exchange, two-way link exchange. also develop quality back links through blogs.

I apologize if I got us off track. To me, link building is more than just building the number of backlinks. If that is your end-goal, then no-follow links will give you a less than optimal return, but there are more benefits to links than just link pop. I've also noticed that some no-follow links are getting followed by the search engines. It certainly is an interesting piece to watch. Thanks for clarifying.

Sorry Sarah but one and two way link exchanges and blog links alone will likely not get the results you need and it may actually hurt you if you are focused too much on this.

This post has many interesting suggestions, but many people are making generalizations here.

This is an incorrect generalization.

in using directory site there's no guarantee that will get listed not unless if you get paid them.

do one-way link exchange, two-way link exchange. also develop quality back links through blogs.
one-way link exchange???!!??:rolleyes:

Good sites even with nofollow still send traffic by themselves

do one-way link exchange, two-way link exchange. also develop quality back links through blogs.

There is no such thing like one-way link exchange. When you say one-way link exchange, it basically means that you are getting one way incoming link to your website which in another terms used as "Back Links" or "Inbound Links"

Link exchange will always will be two-way or three-way or multiway.

Do you mean circular link exchange (A->B->C->D->E->F->G->H->A) ?

This is an incorrect generalization.

See we are talking about how to build links for search engine ranking, right?

If a link is not followed by search engine like google when a link have nofollow attribute, definitely It does not have any value for google. Right. So this is the fact.

It's like that in a house of 4 room and 1 hall in center, If we restrict any visitors to enter into room number second but family member of the house can enter into it?

In this situation, visitor to house does not have any value of that room since they can not enter into it. Right?

The same way it is important for family members of the house who can enter into room number two.

It is the same way, If google can not follow a link, it does not have any value to it (link and linked page) until linked page is getting incoming links from other sources.

And since most of the forums signatures and blog comments are nofollow attribute, it does not have any value.

I hope this is easy to understand. and Let me know to the members that there is no generalization in the field of seo and link building since every rules can be broken. It's almight Google, Yahoo, MSN who decide the rules. We are the just followers of those rules.

Aussie, I agree with you that in terms of lead building, traffic building campaigns, nofollow does not have any value because it's the people who follow the link instead of search engines.

I said this several times on this thread that nofollow does not stop people (visitors) from following a link. It only stops to almighty Google.

Thanks to (GG) Google God who implemented this attribute.

I've also noticed that some no-follow links are getting followed by the search engines.

MooreSEO,

I would like to know any real example of this that no-follow links are getting followed by the search engines, if you can provide.

This will help all of us to rethink then.

Keep in mind that this is very much an exception. The biggest one I can think of is del.icio.us. All of their links are no-follows, yet they show up in Site Explorer along with other tools I use to pull links like SEO SpyGlass. I realize that Yahoo owns Del.icio.us, so this may play a big part in it.

I'm doing some tests on other sites that have no-follow links to see if they have any additional effect. I'll be sure to keep you posted (no pun intended)!

an example would be Wikipedia content which is nofollowed and then gets scraped (stolen) and reposted with the links still live and with the nofollow removed. This happens quite frequently.

The best way valid for all times is creating a web page that people link back, bookmark and they are willing to see come back.

This is very true, but the question becomes how do you start? Try doing some keyword research around some topics in your industry that could be news or article worthy. Write some content and then put the word out that it is on your site. Make sure it's high quality if you really want some links. Unfortunately, this is not a one-shot fix all. When you put content that is valuable out there, you are likely to get some repeat viewers. But, if you're not following it up with a constant stream of good content, you're more likely to lose your audience before you can really hook them in.

I've used Q&A sites to answer questions with links back to highly informative articles on our site. The key here is not to just link to the article as your answer, but to give a well thought out answer and then mention the link.

I use sites like WikiAnswers, Yahoo Answers, Yedda, and Askville. Some will let you use anchor text links, while others will only let you insert the URL as the link.

If you have a blog, I've recently found BlogCatalog to work quite well. It's like a blog directory and social site combined. You create a blog profile with a link to your blog, and avatar, description, etc., and you can then join other's "neighborhoods", groups related to your blog content, and add friends. You get links back to your blog from various profile pages on BlogCatalog, plus you get all sorts of exposure and traffic through your network.

This is an excellent post. Most definitely agree with you. The key to getting solid back links is to provide useful and relevant information to your users. If you want to know what they are looking for, surf around in some social media sites (don't post links, just read what people are talking about) and identify the "hot topics." This will help you get a firm understanding of what people need and if they are / aren't finding it on the Web.

Thanks guys...appreciate it.
