Best Link Building Practice
-
Are there any articles or tutorials here about how to build links? The only two methods I've been able to uncover are using OSE to analyze competitors backlinks and directory listings. I'm thinking there must be other ways.
-
What I do, is to check the link structure of my competitors. Get a list of their backlinks and their anchor texts. Diversification of anchor text got quiet important nowadays. This allows you to see which anchors are used and in which ratio. Then I check the link list for structure. Often you can easily see where the basic links like directories social networks etc come from and where the real juicy links are comming from. Once you know the structure of your competitor you can easily build links in a similar structure or adjust this strategy according to your needs.
But the best trick is to deliver content the users are starving for. Once you did this. They will spread links all over the internet. Another good way is to start a linkbait and offer something bloggers love
Please excuse my english as I am German native and have to do some phone calls beside writing ;D

Be sure to view Rand's recent webinar The Future of Link Building.
You can also try the Juicy LInk Finder tool from SEOMoz though I've had trouble getting it to work recently.

At What Point Are We Doing Too Much Link Building?
Hello Mozzers! This is a question that has been gnawing at the back of my mind as I learn more and more about link building. Historically, we have offered scaling package sizes with larger numbers of backlinks hand-built each month. We do this so our packages are very tangible for our clients. Our packages range from 15-100 backlinks each month. As I learn more about how to build links PROPERLY I am finding it next to impossible to keep up. I feel like we are definitely going the wrong direction in that regard. What are some of your thoughts on this? Thank you in advance for your valuable advice and support, Moz community!

Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

Competitors black-hat link building?
Hi Mozzers, <a>http://www.alivenetwork.com/ </a>is a close competitor of ours. They're ranking far better than us even though many of our search metrics are the same...except one! links! To give you an idea, we've got a fairly large backlink profile for the industry with quality links.

34,981 links from 276 Root Domains = about 127 links/domain. Alive Network has 1,692,256 links from 705 root domains = about 2400 links/domain. Surely that looks a bit black-hat right there? Is it just a matter of time until they're penalised? Perhaps they're just a bunch of domain-wide links? Thoughts would be appreciated.1 -

Who here outsources your link building?
Anyone here run an agency? Do you outsource your link building to another company overseas so it's cheap, or what is everyone else doing nowadays?
