      Hello All,

      I just wanted to ask the question to start a discussion on link building after the Google Updates. I haven't been very proactive lately with regards to link building due to the updates and not wanting to get penalised!

      Are there any link building trends/techniques people are using since the changes?

      Thanks,

        The one word answer to this will be ‘ware the white hat’

        Actually Link Building is a creative game so the limit to link building is your creativity… but here are my recommendations or you can say the type of links that I prefer to build.

        • Build Relationship

        Research and find the list of people who are active in your industry they can be bloggers, influencers, business owners, review writers and many… try to reach out to them and build strong relationship as this will help you while you will ask out for links to them.

        • Manual Reach

        This is hectic but somehow you have to do that no matter what… try to build quality content on you website and reach out to relevant websites and people and request link (while being creative)

        • Guest Blogging

        Reach out to bloggers and offer them to write about relevant topics for FREE.

        • White Papers

        Research and create a link worthy white papers and allow your target audience to download it for FREE. Usually the FREE get more natural links

        • Launch a Contest

        This will help you cater new eye balls and if you contest is interesting and informative at the same time you will defiantly going to get links from bloggers and even magazine sites.

        • Press worthy Activity

        Introducing a product, major changes in business models or anything that is Press worthy will be helpful to get more and more links from Press websites…

        The ideas are endless… all you have to do is to put down all of them on the paper and see what is possible for you and what isn’t
