Hi,
If i hire a SEO company, what kind of links they will build for me. If anyone own a seo company can you let me know.My question is if i create a new website, what kind of link building techniques should i use other than, articles, press releases, social bookmarking, directories. As i am competiting with very tough competition. I have analyzed my competitors and they bought sitewides which are paid ones. Without paid ones i think it is is very hard for me to get into the competition. Can someone discuss more link building methods also.
Awaiting for your responce.
Regards.

As stated by Tom, creating useful helpful and interesting content and adding it to your website Is the best long term strategy for link building. Over a long period of time useful articles are highly likely to receive some links. What's often not mention is the value you gain from blog traffic. Even if no one links to your blog you will gain more traffic to your website. I've had many resulting sales due to our blog traffic. Not to mention you will be able to post your blog on blog directories (so you will at least get these links)
You could also create valuable content by building tools/widgets for your industry. Infographics are great to add to your blog and are often popular to share.
Other techniques you could employ is bog commenting (although comments must be relevant and add value to the conversion).
Hold a contest, you will be able to submit to contest website which will link to your contest.
Donate to charity. (often tax refundable, so if you have the budget It can be a win win for the charity and you)
Here's some links to some ideas for link building.

There are heap of other techniques but you should spend most of your time building or buying valuable content. Think of high quality content as assets. While other techniques are often just expenses.

Hello;
Well, it really depends on the type of business your in. Say if your in the "New Bicycle Business", I would start a campaign/blog on purchasing new bikes, and how to, ect.. If your competitors are not doing this it would be a great way to start. Also starting a Group in linked in has helped me generate a ton of traffic. Just simply asking people in my community for some link juice, or Likes, to create that SEO aggregation.
Hope it help, considering the question is a bit vague..
Cheers!

Content Marketing and Link Building Strategy in Industrial B2B
We struggle link building because engineering sector has few blogs and is much more traditional than many industries. I've just had a new idea on how to do this and wanted to bounce it off people to help refine it and improve it. Search LinkedIn for "content marketing" or similar Refine by Industry etc Ask people on resulting list to guest post on our blog - which is focused on engineers in our sector Then..... For us it boosts our blog content with high quality posts that are interesting for our audience and maybe some traffic benefit. For them it provides SEO benefits and possibly some market exposure. How can I parlay this into getting a link back as well? What else can I do to make it more effective? Cheers Denis

Link building by inviting bloggers
Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to SEO, and I have a question on a link building strategy for a holiday resort I am working on. The resort has a paintball arena and zorbing facilities at their premises. I want to use this in the link building strategy and the owners have agreed to have an open day for bloggers. Basically the resort will invite 20 local bloggers for a day to their resort. They get to play paintball, zorbing and get to see the resort in exchange for an honest write up about their day at the resort. I am looking at asking the bloggers to write about the event twice (Once before, and once after they visit the resort) with a minimum of 4 links to the website. I want to know how I can identify the top bloggers? What factors should I consider while making a list of 20 bloggers, and how do I measure these factors? Also, is this a good strategy for link building? And please feel free to add anything else you think I am missing out on, or will help in the link building. Cheers! Arjun

Link Building strategy between domains I own?
I am in the somewhat unique position of owning and administering around 300 websites that each have their own unique domain names. We have a corporate website and then many individual websites for hospitals and nursing centers that we operate. My question is how would you recommend using these sites to build good incoming links between all the sites? Should I take every opportunity to find as many places to link from each site to all the other sites that are owned? Is there anything I should avoid that Google would penalize me for or discount the links all together? Sorry this is a such as long question... but wasn't sure where to start. Thanks!
