101 Advanced Link Building Resources
Link building remains remains a core component of effective Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). But let’s face it, as a small business owner you have a business to run and don’t have a lot of time to devote to this link building caper. You’ve made a new post on your blog, or added a new page to your website, and you now need get your content noticed and establish some quick & easy backlinks.
Here is a list of resources I routinely use to kick off a link building campaign. Of course nothing beats an in-content, high PageRank, anchor-text link from a trusted authorty site. But, depending on the level of competition in the space you are targeting, these links can often give your page a lift and form the basis of your on-going efforts.
Wherever possible I try to use resources which are “dofollow” i.e. they do not use the dreaded nofollow tag which basically tells the search engines not to place value on the link. However I am a firm believer in creating a natural and balanced link profile and so have no problem with including some nofllow links. If your content is good, a nofollow link can often lead to good quality followed link being created because a human being…as apposed to a search engine…discovered and cited your content.
