Adding Quality Backlinks
-
Without sounding like an idiot, what are the best ways in adding good quality back links. There are websites out there such as Click Submit but from experience they just link from weird URL's and the links are in comments.
In an ideal world starting up my own Blogs and building up a good domain authority would work best but the customer would like some back links adding by next week.
Using local directories wouldn't really work for their business so if anyone has any idea's I would love to hear them.

Thanks! Stability and success go hand-in-hand. It's all about the long-term goal.
You're correct with that finding - 33% of people will only click a link in Google's top three organic results.

That is a brilliant quote LJ I may have to use that in the future, the problem with customers who want organic SEO is that they want to see immediate results but with organic SEO I always find that it is more of a long term investment.
I find that most people tend to trust the organic listings over paid anyway.

Brilliant thank you very much for your advice it's much appreciated.

What William has said is spot on. I'd like to add something that I tell my clients, which is if they expect results tomorrow then don't expect to have results next year.
It is vital to build up a foundation of high quality content with an interested audience, this is the key to modern day SEO. Linkbacks need to look natural, not paid for, software generated or anything similar. Google will be able to tell when you have an unnatural influx of links and they will penalise your site for it. You might see some instant results, but you can be sure they won't be long lasting. Explain to your client that it's vital to only use futureproof techniques.

It sounds like your client needs to be educated on how proper link building works. You can't just say, "I need good backlinks, and I need them NOW!"
In order to build good, relevant, safe backlinks, you need to create assets or other ways to attract people to share your content and build links naturally. This takes time and planning. There are quicker grey/black hat ways to build links, but this puts your client's site at risk, and your client needs to know that.
Moz recently came out with a good beginner's guide to link building. Perhaps you can pull some tidbits from that to help your client understand why his/her request is unreasonable. http://moz.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-link-building

One or multiple backlinks from business profiles?
Hi, When building diverse backlinks to a website it's often possible to place one, or several, links in the business profile on a directory or social platform such as https://www.broadjam.com/Scambler, https://coub.com/scamblermusic, https://issuu.com/scamblermusic or https://soundcloud.com/scambler. Typically I would only add one backlink to these profiles (and that would be to the home page) but I often wonder if I should take the opportunity to add several links to internal pages and blog posts. Am I missing an opportunity to add more backlinks and spread out the link juice, or could multiple backlinks within short profiles be considered spammy? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Adding backlinks in old articles?
I am trying to get a few more links to get a few of my pages to rank and I am thinking about adding some more backlinks on my own site on some of the old blog articles as well as some of my other related blogs. My question is - is it still beneficial to link from these articles that are say 1 year old or more, or would it be far more valuable to write new articles on the blog containing those same links?
