What is the best way to get unique links?

[evacuumstoreSEO]

I do SEO for an online store that sells vacuum cleaners. I write a lot of articles for yahoo, hub pages, etc as well as promoted press releases. But I'm looking to get some more unique links. I'm looking for any tips I can get.

I've done tons of directories that have actually got a couple keywords on the front page of google but I'm looking to shy away from link directories.

I write a few articles every week.

I also try and create new social networking sites for the business.

Does anyone have any new ideas?

Can you give away products? Maybe target a few influential bloggers and send them a product sample for review?

You seem to be doing a lot of writing.... but is any of this going on your own website?

My favorite one is creating a PDF of a resource for other people to use on their website.   Inside the article I will have my website linked from the keyword phrase I want.  They upload the document, because it's helpful, and I get a link.

Truth be told, I just started doing this, but I've had a good response so far.

Another option is trading a SEO white paper in exchange for a link.

Create a great guide, info-graphic , tool, or great on site contect that serves to be linked to - then contact people and let them know it exists

Guest posts contests and coupons work well as well  .

Going along with what EGOL has said here -- are you giving people a reason to link to your site in the way of excellent content on your website? Not just content below pictures that's for the search engines, but content for users.

• How do I find the perfect vacuum cleaner for me?
• Best vacuum cleaner types for houses with stairs.
• Best tips for using your vacuum cleaner on stairs.
• How to use your Vacuum cleaner to clean your whole house (attachments to clean things other than just your carpet)
• One simple trick that will double the life of your vacuum cleaner.

etc etc etc

How about writing some content about cleaning, organizing and sourcing some good mom bloggers to guest post on? Love the idea of doing an infographic too. You could probably do something pretty funny given the topic.

Yes, We do a blog on our site to answer the questions that we hear most frequently. Lately I've been focusing on mainly on page optimization(looking for pages without meta tags and fixing, adding descriptions for all categories of products, and we add hundreds of new products every day) One thing that we offer is the parts diagrams and schematics for almost every make and model of vacuum cleaner.

I've actually just started emailing mom bloggers a couple days ago as well as emailing other sites that do reviews of vacuum cleaners. I'm trying to get into guest blogging but I'm not sure how.

[evacuumstoreSEO]

Love this idea! Thanks for the help! I'll try this out.

We've actually been doing some work on some Air Purifiers so I created my first infographic. You can tell it's my first time doing an infographic though.

I found unless your infographic is really good and you push it correctly it doesn't do much for you

Can you please share a sample PDF in what format we need to create. How other people can be interested to put our PDF on their website. Please suggest.

Maybe I didn't understand: but if it's a PDF, it's not html and the source is not visible–so how does that help your link? Or are people taking the info from the PDF and typing it into their site?

It sounds like a great idea, just want to understand.
