What are the new ways of Link Building which will get quality links?
-
Hi
We are doing following kinds of Link Building:
1. Article marketing
2. Directory Submission
3. Guest Blogging
4. Press Release submission
5. Infographics (Viral Marketing)
I know blog commenting and links from discussion forums are considered as greyhat / blackhat by google.
So I want suggestions on some other ethical(Whitehat SEO) ways of Link Building to get quality Links.
Also suggest me some Free article submission sites which give " dofollow-links"
Thank You

What you're doing is great if you have the content to back it up, especially if you're in a niche market. Make sure your infographics are of the highest quality possible. There are so many infographics out there that you really need to make yours stand out to have it picked up.
You should also be doing some link baiting for all of these articles and press releases you're doing. Writing a random article or press release just to get you a link can only help you so much. If the article or press release is getting tons of views and comments from different IP addresses, you'll find yourself in a good spot.

AWCthreads makes a huge point. The best SEO resource I have found the customer, or page viewer. If they are truly helped by the content you offer they will eventually do the best link building you can hope for. Generalzod also brings up a good point, if you have great content that is just sitting there because nobody can find it.. then what good is it really doing?
If you don''t have good regular traffic that may stumble upon the new fresh content then you'll have to go where your demographic is.
I will give an example: About 4 years ago I was working in the gaming industry as a software seller . A new game was coming out, I talked with my distributor, and got in on Beta testing. From there I joined the game's official forums. I soon found most people were using a fansite to talk about the game, so I joined the fansite. I played the game sporadically enough to engage in general conversation. Eventually, after being a somewhat established member (about 2 weeks of posting) I decided to let the people know I worked for a company that would be selling the software and could get anybody who wanted it a discount. That caught the attention of the owner of the fansite who in turn posted my sites banner on his page for free. That little work turned into 100's of sales and tons of links on all sorts of similar type forums and blogs.

Digg is a great medium. I would also suggest writing a great piece of content, and using that as an ice breaker for requesting guest posts.
Like:
Look what I can do! Let me do it for your site!
-
I'm with you on that! Great content and well presented content will give you links.
In fact it is as simple as that, as long as you have the best content, product, presentation or navigation. Look at your competition and make sure that your site, content, product is 10% better than theirs.
-
Chicken and egg. Writing great content is a good idea...but if nobody can find it, nobody will link to it?
I'd expand on the above idea and suggest writing a great article then perhaps push it out through Digg so that people will see it and likely talk about/links to it. Works for me anyway.
Good luck!

How about creating some content that is unique, informative, relevant, timely and worthy of linking to.

Guidelines for keyword-targeting and link building?
Hello, Every month, I set a goal of targeting 10 - 15 relevant keywords for my website. I then attempt to boost my site's rankings for these terms through a combination of content writing and white hat, non-paid link building. My question is: Are there general guidelines for keyword-targeting and backlinks? Is it healthy to target 10 - 15 different keywords (or more??) like this per month?

Got a link building question here
I've been doing a lot of back link analysis on my competitors and noticed that a lot of links are coming from wordpress.com, blog.com, blogspot.com, etc blogs. These are free blogs in the format of http://www.username.blogplatform.com. These individual blogs seem to have product reviews and mentions for many different products (we are an e-commerce website). I would like to know if anyone has done any outreach to the owners of the third party blogs. This looks very different from guest blogging and I want to know if there is a way to reach out to these blog owners in order for them to write something about our products. Please let me know if anyone had any success with this, Thank you

Looking to outsource some of our link building...
Hi Everyone, We are a small online marketing firm in the UK and we are starting to hit a bit of a bottleneck in terms of the resources that we have that can be devoted to link building. As a result, we need to outsource the link building for some of our clients (around 10). Obviously, we only want ethical, white hat link building to take place and it really is a focus on quality rather than quantity. As you can imagine, being a fairly small firm, we also have a very limited budget! We would ideally like to work with UK link builders but would definitely look at overseas partnerships if it worked out more cost effective and the standard of the link building meets our standards. Just so that I'm not wasting anyone's time, we have a budget of around £200-300 for this (I know, its a very limited budget!). I understand that with this budget comes limitations so we would be more than willing at looking at some stripped down packages (for example, we already have in-house bloggers, so we wouldn't need that). Let me know if you are interested or if you would be able to recommend anyone to me. It would be a great help. Matt

Outsourcing Link Building
I have searched through various freelance sites for link building services, and it looks like there are plenty of people who can get links on PR4+ sites at a pretty cheap rate. You know how they always say when it looks too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true? People are charging around $250 for 50 links on sites with good page rank, do follow, etc... Do you think it could help or hurt my SEO campaign, considering I have a good site with solid content and other good content posted on the web?

How do you determine a quality link?
I have a question about quality of links I'm seeing with my linkbuilding program. I just noticed that my 2nd ranked backlink contained the keyword as the username with a link back to my site. There was no relevant text in the comment itself with the keyword linking back to my site. My question is this good practice? I wanted to get your opinion of these kind of links for a linkbuilding program. Here's the backlink and our keyword is the username Cat Control: http://bytesizecss.com/blog/post/fix-haslayout-with-one-line-of-css. It looks like everyone posting on this page is just linking their username back to their site... I'm not an SEO expert by any means, but if everyone is doing this same type of link building on a directory type page such as this. Could these type of links eventually become a target like what happend with the farmer/panda update?

Link Building: Asking for links versus building links
I am currently delving into link building for SEO having started out from a social media marketing side. From that angle, it was always my belief building high quality links came from engaging targeted bloggers and sites in my market and related verticals for product reviews and/or providing expert advise and opinion for posts they are creating. As I am learning more the "technical" side of SEO, I've read a lot of posters on here talk about asking from links from websites. While I get the concept from a strategic stand point, are links really asking for or is better to continue to pursue the long term investment of pitching to get coverage from well known bloggers and sites?
