Best kind of backlinks

what are the best backlinks to build for free?
Thanks a lot

This is also a good answer if you already have the traffic! (my point of view). Thanks

Thanks a lot James! I dint know that you can use the whois tool to find them . I was trying to find them from the contact forms but nobody replied most of times! Thumbs up!

Keep in mind that the best links take some effort. They may not be paid links, but you will still need to spend time in creating good content that will naturally gather links, or in spending time to find relevant sites to contact. There is no sustainable free lunch out there.

Agree with James. Looks at your competitors in OSE and analyse their backlinks.
Kindly ask the web masters for a backlink to your related site. Make sure you don't just ask for the link, kindly point out why their site should point to yours as a source of reference on a particular topic.

My best backlinks came to me. I wrote great content and somehow a couple universities thought it would help their students. And guess what? The links were FREE (my favorite four-letter-word). LOL

The best back links you can build for free is where you find a list of resources on a highly authority website you then find the who is data of the website and call them up or you email them.
For example you find a list of information with only 4 links on a government website, you can then contact the web master and ask if they will add your related link.
My advice to find these links is to use open site explorer and to scan competitors for high authority links or use the Link Analysis Tools.

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.

What is the best backlink? Homepage or specific post?
I am working hard to get backlinks from other blogs by submitting deal tips. I am a deal blog so I am wondering - is it better to get a backlink to a specific post that will expire because it is a time sensitive deal or sale? Or is it better to get a backlink to my homepage? I focus on the best blog with PR of 7 and DA of 72 as well as others that are high up there. In case I am not being clear, which backlink is better? A. www.mysite.com B. www.mysite.com/awesome-sale-of-the-day Sometimes I won't have a choice but just wondering what I should focus on or if it even matters. Thanks!

What type of interlinks are best from articles I write?
Hi everyone, I run a job board (job website) - www.hawaiijobengine.com - and on the homepage I have 50 job categories ("Accounting / Finance" is one another is "Admin / Clerical" etc). I write your typical 400 word article length, giving career insight. Questions: should I 70% of the time try to use exact keywords in the article and link to those categories and other 30% of links should be to more specific search terms like "accountant in CITY NAME". The 50 categories already have decent rankings already and those are the once I am trying to push higher. Obviously, I also want weaker pages (more specific search terms) to rank higher too. I am writing genuine and original content, it is just a matter off whether I should adjust my keyword focus. On average how many different interlinks from a 400 page article is acceptable. Range of 1-3, with 2 on average sounding about right? Most of the times I have only 1 or 2 interlinks from each article, but once in a while I want to link 6-7 places within the article. I don't know if that is appropriate. thank you, Kristian
