Press Release & Link Building

If You have something newsworthy, write a PR and submit it some good PR Sites for getting authority backlinks. If your press release is really something newsworthy then it will be picked by many niche news resources as well, and give you backlinks. Try to write Professional PR (Many expert content writers offer PR Writing for $100 based on your ideas.)

I’d recommend you to submit your PR to following PR Sites. However there are a lot other news sites as well those accept PR through online submission form or by email.

Recommended PR/Newswire Sites

• www.pr.com
• www.prleap.com

• www.prlog.org
• www.prurgent.com
• www.powerhomebiz.com/newsarchive

Press Release is entirely different than article submissions, there is certain format that you should follow while you prepare your press release to syndicate.

PRWeb: They were providing free submissions before but now they offer only paid PR Inclusions. I Have submitted many of my clients PR to PRWen and i think it is worth it what you pay. It will not give you direct links but high authority backlinks.

Building Links With Paid Blog Reviews

Do you know? You can Build links with blogs!! Ask other bloggers and webmasters to review your products/services and websites on their blogs. that will give you viral traffic and permanent one-way contextual backlinks as well. Many bloggers will review your products & service with 3-4 links and your anchor text.

Many advertisers noticed that they provide better CTR and traffic compare to regular paid ads/text ads and banners. As explained on reviewme.com people ignore direct ads. Blog reviews are better for newer sites who need some high quality links.

There are few services like reviewme.com and PayPerPost.com those offers a marketplace for those who wants to review others stuff on their blogs for some fees and those who want their stuff reviewed on blogs.

Must take care of following things when you pay bloggers.

• No of pages indexed by Google (And if they are in supplementals or not. Avoid supplementals.)
• Niche – Weather it is relevant to your site. Avoid irrelevant blogs and blogs those post random content.
  
• Content of Blog.
  
• Quality of Backlinks and Google PR.
• Age of Blog.
• No of Post Per Day. (Frequency of posting)
  

You will also get benefit of linking your website with original content. That will help to create natural link profile for your websites.

Don’t repeat your keywords in description.
Use more than one description for better result.
Avoid capitalizing every word in a sentence.

1 way, 2-way and 3-way Link building

Find website relevant to your theme/industry and ask them for linking your website. You can in return, link back to them.

Many of webmaster sending email, calling webmaster or requesting it in public forums/blogs for such link requests. There are many programs running for finding partners for reciprocal link building. I’d suggest you to prefer 3 way link building.

• One way link building:- You will get links from site, you will not provide any link in return.
• Two way link building:- You will link partners site somewhere on your website. in return, your partner will link your site from somewhere on their site.
• Three way link building:- Your partners linking your site, in return, you are linking their site form your Another website. Rather than two way, this is best way to get links as after last google update (Algorithm) Google has started banning many sites those using reciprocal link building methods to improve their link popularity,

I’d suggest you few forums, where you can find your link partners.

• http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=53
• http://www.submitexpress.com/bbs/forum-12.html
• http://www.seo1.net/forum18.html
• http://www.webmaster-talk.com/relevant-link-exchange-forum/

Also you can find partners from directories like…

1. www.linkmarket.net
2. link2me.com

Purchase Links:

Many SEOs use this shorts cuts to purchase links on relevant industry for both relevant traffic and search engine rankings. When you purchase link from other sites, you can consider following factors.

• Google PR of page
• Traffic it receives
• SERP of that site
• Backlinks of page
• Type of link you will get (sitewide or one page.) Relevancy, outbound links
• if you’re purchasing sitewides then No. of page indexed and %of pages in supplemental results (If there)
• Age of Website/document
• Quality of content of website (also, weather it is original or not)
• Price of link
• Place where you will get link
• Tag they’re using (If you’re getting no-followed links, that they are only useful for traffic it will not help you to improve SERP.)
• Prefer links those are for long term / permanent as search engine (especially google) likes aged links.
• Type of site (Blog, Web directory, Forums etc..)

Forum posting:

Register with different related forums, participate in discussion there and place your links in signature. Awesome way to receive traffic towards your website. Many SEOs says that forums signature links are devalued but they are still providing backlinks in my experience.

Here are two forums directories where you can find specific forums

1. www.gandalfdir.com
2. www.big-boards.com

Ask Bloggers to review your website.

This is another effective method of getting links. (Little bit costly though.) there are few marketplace where you can find forums those are available to review websites/products.
