Easy way to get some do-follow links for a new site

[StreetwiseReports]

I am launching a new website and when I search for "list of do-follow websites" I find lots of people posting their list. Rather than individually sign up for hundreds of sites for one link at a time, is there a tool that can automate this?

If you have some SEO software that streamlines the process, you can do it pretty quickly.   I've used Link Assistant and iBusiness Promoter, but it's been awhile.

Both have their pros and cons.  The biggest problem is that you end up paying a fair amount for them.  It doesn't make sense to pay for them, unless you plan on doing a lot of link building.  Also, I'd go with the free trial software just to be sure you can load your list.  As I recall Link Assistant lets you load CSV spreadsheets.

I would be very careful in this post penguin world right now with non white hate tactics for links. What is the vertical you are trying to rank for?

i am trying to get links on financial/investing websites

That is ONE of the segments I would totally recommend NOT doing any type of grey hat link building.

I run some financial sites and if you want to exchange some authentic content and some "white" hate exposure building -> forget the "link" building anymore.

If you can find these lists, and if you can find a tool doing this -- Google can easily do the same. Do you want your first links to your brand new site in a competitive field to be ones that the search engines recognize as easy to get and where there are literally 500 other people writing comments on the same site with links back to their blog?

I'd suggest looking through the SEOmoz blog in the link building category for ideas about building valuable links instead. Takes more time, but is much better for your site.

To answer your question: There are lots of tools that can automate this, but that's a good way to get your new site sandboxed. Don't mess with these unless you really know what you're doing.

If this site is a long-term investment for you, then you need to get your blog up and running. It will take a while to see results, but this is generally the core link-building engine of any organization.  Establish a budget and get good writers. The links will [slowly] come.

Some of the more innocuous link-building methods that you can actively pursue are social media (pinterest & squidoo especially), newsworthy press-releases, social bookmarking, niche blog commenting, niche & high PR directories (both free & paid), and guest blogging / article directories. However, most of these things are dependent on content. The more content that you have (and the better that it is), the easier it becomes to build links.

Creating special offers can also work out well if you can get on various "employee discount" pages from reputable sites. If you have a brick-and-mortar business, local citations will also help to get you going.

I hope this helps.
