My business model does not work for in-person link building, but content still draws them in like a magnet.

Relationships must stand at the base of any link building campaign and the impact you make upon your community is directly proportional with the value you bring to the table, namely content.

But isolated content doesn’t do no one any good. That’s why you must stand out and get involved. There isn’t really no coveted secret for building a quality back link portfolio.

The simple act of staying active in your niche market is enough to dominate through both SEO and Viral Marketing.

This is the reason why the post is absolutely valid.

Regardless of your automation logistics, you simply can’t beat old face-to-face interaction.

Here are some of my personal beliefs related to web connection:

- make my link request emails personal;
- never contact a potential link partner without a deep knowledge of his website you plan on getting a link on;
- talk about the benefits your potential partner will enjoy from your future partnership.

On the other hand, business calls for pragmatism and that’s the reason I tried, back on my blog, to formulate a profit oriented guide to building backlink partnerships. Take a look and see if this post contributes to your off page campaign in any way.

Talk soon!

Giving useful information to readers is probably the best way to obtain fast and natural organic links… If it’s useful or cool enough, people will link to it… Link exchanges can be frustrating and very time consuming because you need to find the right sites to exchange links with plus the response may be little or nothing…

Really nice post.. Thank you for explained about networking..Ya of course I agree with you people do business face to face its may old fashioned. But it only the secure way of doing the business In my point of view without contacting directly and contacting through only websites or through mobile and phones are not good..

There is no doubt that link score is one of the most important factors the major search engines consider when determining where websites are ranked… The reasoning is simple: if you have many links pointing to your site from other sites, your content must contain quality, important information….

You are so right about the networking part of link building, since the quality of the links you receive from a friend is so much more powerful than a self generated link and if a site owner have a readership and he sends you a link in the sidebar or in a post it will increase the chances tremendously that the readers do visit your site as appose to a link from a comment or forum etc. thanks for sharing.

I do a lot of blogging in hopes to gain organic links in the near future and am always looking for some different techniques. Your suggestions are right on, and point out that online relationship building is not that different than offline.

I agree that face to face networking is a requirement to build a great presence on-line. A lot of my contacts tell me they like my site, or agree with something that I wrote about. At least I know someone is reading this stuff!

Just a comment on “linkbaiting”:

I discovered linkbaiting by accident. When I first started blogging about the fence industry, it was hard to find other sites in my niche to read and engage in the conversations. So, I broadened my scope of reading into contractors in general and found some great sites to read and comment on.

I decided one day while I was having a block of things to write about for fencing that I would write about other sites I like.

I wrote the article, linking to specific articles. This is what I call linkbaiting and think of it as a more positive spin on the term.

A couple of the bloggers I wrote about took notice of my site, I got a couple of “blogroll” links and have had return articles written mentioning my site.

I wouldn’t call it a trick (I didn’t even know I was “linkbaiting”) but I built new relationships.

Anyway, just thought I would throw that out there on the term linkbaiting.

Thanks,
Keith

Good advice, of all the many ways to obtain links and valuable visitors, I too have found that meeting people in person and actually talking about your website and what you do is much more effective. In marketing they always teach that word of mouth is the best form of advertisement. The same is true online.
