Wrong Link Building Techniques
Today, I’m going to show you the worst effective link building and link development techniques. Most of these strategies may not give you effective and satisfied results. In some cases, these link development strategies are illegal and not recommended to use for anyone. Using these methods, you can get an impression that you’re amateur and absolute beginner.
Wrong Link Building Techniques and Strategies
I will list the top link development strategies and techniques that many beginner webmasters and bloggers use often.
Ask Wrong Sites for a Link Swap
Many webmasters and bloggers, which have not an experience usually use this strategy to build up link popularity for own sites and blogs. By the way, they make a mayor mistake – asking the wrong sites to swap links between. Think about it a little, why would one popular blog or a website want to swap link with you if you have low ranked and not popular site, right? Then stop asking popular bloggers and webmasters to include your link for free – you are only waist their and your own valuable time.
Pay For a Links on Other Sites
For me, this is a normal way to share and build your own site link rating. But for Google it’s not! I’ve read so many times on many forums that Google banns webmasters and bloggers which buy a link on other sites. So, if you are using Google AdSense, don’t risk and sell text links on your sites.
Don’t be a Spammer
Nobody likes a spammer – person which post an not related posts, comments and articles on other sites, blogs and e-mails. If you want to get a quality backlink from a quality site, post descriptive, helpful and related comments or posts anywhere. Only this way you may improve your popularity and link rankings.
Link Exchange – NOT
Also, a lot of webmasters and blogging beginners do this mistake. When they agree for a link exchange with other site, they delete or make an no-follow attribute to agreed link on their site. With these links, you would not get any improvements or functionality. You should often check if that site linking to you or not.
Don’t be Boring
If you send someone a link exchange request, and you don’t get any response, don’t be boring and send same messages over and over again. It’s cleat that specific webmaster or a blogger doesn’t want to speak with you and he will ignore you again and again.
You’re absolutely true about this. Have read almost same kind of information from some other resource too. However, the additional thing other people say is that search engines hate directory submissions and link exchange and they will throw you out of their search results. Is that true? For example http://www.bnbuzz.com/link-building.html. How much true this is? is directory submission a poison for SEO?
Thanks for the heads up. Link building is without a doubt the most important part of the search engine optimization process. Your site may be centered around well chosen keywords and top quality content, but without an important number of incoming links with your main keywords as link text it will be difficult to obtain those top search engine rankings.
Thanks for sharing your list. I agree link exchange is the most boring. You send many email with no reply. It's a waste of time.
i totally agree with you on what you have said in your post’s 3rd method,
if someone don’t become a spammer and post helpful and Quality comments, then this will bring some Backlinks to his site. and i think posting comments on blogs is the only safe method left, as link exchange is useless if you don’t have a higher Pagerank, sites with whom you are willing to exchange links, wont give you response unless you are with high pagerank. and selling link or buying links will lead you to 0 Pagerank or may be the worst, a ban from Google.
thanks for the nice article
