Who Has the Best Link Building Techniques?

* Whenever you make use of several vendors in an industry or have a depth of experience with them, create a blog post, article or content page with a list of your “favorites” ranked in a particular order, then email each of the mentioned sites and tell them that they’re welcome to use a “testimonial” quote you’ve written about them and also link to the “rankings” page. Companies love to link to anything ego-boosting.
* Have a quick trigger finger on popular news sites that allow comments and try to be one of, if not, the first comment and mention a URL on your site that better explains your point or offers more insight. This works particularly well with politically focused stories. The only caveat is that you need a repository of relevant material to draw on. Also note – if your URL is long, you can use tinyurl.com for this purpose (which also creates a sense of mystery as to what you might be linking to). The comments themselves are nofollowed (or don’t even allow hyperlinking), but even just the printed URL will get plenty of copy-and-paste traffic from big sites.
* Be on of the first users of a given social network, and make sure to mention or include your URL in either your username or your account profile. Frequently, new services will blog about who joined them just after launch.
* Embed popular media with your brand in hilariously irresistible ways – Rick Astley + your logo doing karaoke FTW! Check out Shoemoney’s genius McLovin ID cards as an example.
* Every time you send out a new customer email, send a snippet of code they can paste into the “partners” section of their website that will display your logo and a link back to your site (this works particularly well for B2B companies who like to show off their “partnerships”).
* Create a wallpaper and screensaver with your company’s brand and submit it to all the free wallpaper/screensaver galleries. The vast majority allow you to link back to your original source (or a profile site).

The comments on this blog entry are FANTASTIC and share some of the greatest link building techniques that I’ve ever read.

    Why is it that I can’t thoroughly commit to making this weight loss a certainty. I have read so much information that my brain needs to go on a diet. What I sincerely need is some motivation which I feel is critical for anyone who is attempting to lse weight.

    So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

Did you code this blog by yourself or retain the services of a professional?

    Some of the ideas associated with this blog post are very good but had me personally asking, did they really indicate that? One point I have got to point out is definitely your writing abilities are very very good and I will probably be returning back again for any fresh blog post you produce, you might have a completely new supporter. I saved your website for reference.

    I saw something as well about this on another blog site.Amazingly, your view on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read before. I am still reflecting over the opposite points of view, but I’m tipped strongly toward your point of view.
