Link Building Strategy
-
Hello Everyone,
We have about 15 clients who we need to do link building for but I am at a loss on how to even begin.
Does anybody have any tips or tricks to achieving quality back links in a short amount of time?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks. I am tasked with updating and refining our current process for my boss. We do use most of the common best practices...but we certainly want to continually enhance our process.

EGOL said it perfectly, "Linking building is the most challenging part of SEO for most people." If you are new to link building, it might be best to outsource this to someone who knows what they are doing. The negative repercussions for doing a cheap fast job could really hurt your business in the long run.
However, with the warning aside, you can always start by obtain your competitors backlinks, but you have to be careful. Not every link your competitor has is a good links, and being able to sift out the crap links from the good ones takes time and experience.
Good Luck

Linkbuilding is the most challenging part of SEO for most people. Getting quality links fast is extra challenging.
If you have fantastic, best-on-the-web content you can often just submit it to sites such as Reddit and Slashdot and Stumbleupon... if it really is great content that will be like throwing gasoline on a fire.
If you don't have that type of content then you can buy backlinks... but bought links can be risky and you run the risk that they will be devalued. I don't recommend it.
You could also hire someone who knows what they are doing to build the links for you or teach you.

There is a lot of good linkbuilding information and ideas posted here at SEOMoz and elsewhere on the web. You could dedicate the next few weeks to study and learning the basics. Then you will need to spend a lot of time still, figuring out how to do it and the challenge is different for each client.
If you are not up to that you can again, consider hiring someone who knows what they are doing.

Is there a way to use your other web properties for successful link building
We have two websites that align with it each other: Site #1 - Industry editorial website that provide high quality, original and current content. This site is mature and has high authority relatively speaking. Site #2 - Industry resource website that educates general public and insiders about the industry. Content is professionally written with fantastic art and basically breaks down different manufacturing processes/materials and walks people through the benefits. Would it be a sound approach to add anchor text/link within articles on site #1 to site #2? Below are a few scenarios: Article on site #1 is talking about using [manufacturing process] to make something and site #2has a page that describes [manufacturing process] in great detail. Article on site #1 is talking about using [material] and site #2 has a page that describes **[material]**in great detail. Article on site #1 is talking why its beneficial to use a particular [material] or [manufacturing process] and site #2 has a page that describes all benefits of [material] or [manufacturing process] in great detail. Obviously, this will only be sprinkled in here and there and not in every article. It should provide users with more insight but will SE's see it that way?

Internal linking anchor text with automated ASP.NET link building
Hi Everyone I really need some help here, the problem I have must be one that many have. I have a simple e-commerce style website so 1 product page can in fact get 40-50 internal links to it. These links come from a mixture of: 1. The parent category pages that the product sits on (Rugged PDA) and in turn the 10 filter pages of this category page (Rugged PDA, ordered by battery size). 2. Alternative product list on other product pages, So many products link to each other as alternatives. From Google analytics we can see that visitors like to browse product to product seeing 5 alternatives on each page with titles like "Smaller", "more rugged" etc. 3. Manufactuer pages, so we have a link to each product from each manufacturer home page where we talk lots about each manufacture we resell. We also have links from images used in the website. So its a nice usable website but we're finding that Google is still telling us in Webmaster tools that it thinks some links are dubious and we're trying to find out why. We only now have 190 external links to the website, most are internal and from the website or our blog on a subdomain. The problem we think is that we generate the category and products pages all dynamically so the anchor text is looking the same. Will this potentially create issues for us? Dave

How do you put together a link building strategy?
I know after all the Google changes link building is different than it used to be. How do I put a link building strategy together that I can understand and follow? I have fixed most of the crawl errors and my site is still low on the search for most of my targeted keywords. Is link building the answer? Or are there other options I'm missing?

To hire a link building company.... or not?
I am doing a lot of the niche partnership link building but I am looking for a company to compliment some of my work in other related areas. Need some advice from the group. A couple of questions: 1. I'm looking for a company to acquire around 20-30 links per month. Not talking about easy directories or social links, but good (PR 3+) sites that are somewhat related to my business. Is that a reasonable request? 2. What should I expect to pay for this each month? 3. Any good suggestions on companies in the US. I am a small startup with a fairly limited budget, at least for now? Thanks everyone!

Link building software
Does anyone know of any software that will build links if I enter the URL in? I know this sounds silly but I had to ask... I know ontolo is good to discover which links you need based on a key word and I know the SEOmoz tools do the same. My question is that is there any software that you can then enter all the links you have found and acquire them, Thank you for your answers. I really appreciate it. Vijay
