Link Building for Clients

Creating a successful link building campaign really isn’t that easy. Looking through links to other sites and seeing what’s hot and what’s not. Link building takes time if its done effectively.

It’s often difficult explaining to clients that batches of links cannot just be thrown into their sites here and there. OK, links build authority but the implementation has to be timely and well thought out.

One of the most notable patterns seen when looking at links is just how many highly ranked sites opt for the same linking partners. Is this not a dilution of the net itself ? Yes, it gives the sites the authority they need but at the same time focuses on a relatively small section of the web.

Link popularity increases traffic but should also add resource to the website.

    Tell me, Dave - what is your opinion of this:

    http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=loans&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

    MoneyExpert #1 - and their backlink profile… Take a look at it.

    #1 for loans with some beautiful links from myspace template sites, ringtone websites, computer game review sites, photo forums… All highly relevant and OBVIOUSLY natural!

    Attrition.

    I have to admit Inlinks (23,600,000) is very impressive. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a number that high for links. Dan you said it, clients don’t understand how time consuming it is to do a successful link building campaign.

    yer My favourite is client “well just buy the links in”… my answer “well we should ask Matt Cutts if that cool or not”

    it takes time that’s all I can say

    They aren’t buying links if you look into it. It’s interestingly done ^_^ and you can’t deny it works. Surely Google can’t miss a footprint like that though? Oh, they have for months…. and will continue to do so. I smell a rat.

    I’d also like to hear a response about the loans topic that Mark posted about (first comment here). I recently saw another website ranking #1 for a very competitive niche and every link was some sort of spam or crappy link (comment spam, forum spam, myspace links, etc etc). Yes they did have a lot of links, but all very poor links.

    True enough..its not that easy to promote a website and get links from other sites..It is really something to be given attention.
