Some techniques for effective link building

Some techniques for effective link building

In this article I am going to explain a few link building techniques in detail.

1: Forum Signature

2: Blog Commenting

3: Social Bookmarking

Forum Signature: 

You can easily get do-follow quality back links from various forums and forums are not only good for back links but also for targeted traffic. It’s free to create an account on most of the forums and then you can start taking part in discussion threads to increase your post count. If other forum members will find your replies satisfactory then they will get curious to know more about you and also about the services you offer and will eventually click on the link you have given in your signature. This will give you targeted free traffic. You can check whether a forum is offering do-follow links or not by installing Firefox browser and then you will need an add-on which is better known as “No Do follow”. Using this add-on you can make your life easy to see whether a page has do-follow links or no-follow. 

Blog Commenting:

I would always prefer blog commenting over forum signature links, mainly because of the number of outbound links a blog has is comparatively less than a forum and we all know how much does link juice depends on the number of outbound links, the lesser the number of outbound the better It is to get a link from that page. Also, you can have additional links in blog comments, especially on blogs which supports add-ons such as Comment love. (Yea, I am misspelling it knowingly)

Also, you can find blog commenting easy when compared with forum posting. At least it’s easy for me and it might be my own perception and you can possibly find the other one easier. 

You don’t even need to register on most of the blogs to leave your comments while on forums you must register in order to reply to existing threads and to add signature you must go to user control panel which can’t be done until you are a registered member on the forum. In short, forum posting is a time consuming technique when compared with blog commenting and that’s one of the reasons why it’s less popular.

Social Bookmarking:

Another effective link building technique is Social Bookmarking; it’s the process of bookmarking your site in social bookmarking directories such as Dig, stumble upon, delicious etc. 

*Dig is just an example social bookmarking site and you won’t get a do-follow back link even if you submit your site in this directory, however you can simply search Google to get a list do-follow social bookmarking sites for the same purpose. 

Social bookmarking is good for the sake of both back link as well as targeted traffic.
