        Hi Christopher. Public relations works really well for quality link building:

        I recently wrote a blog post on how to use PR to build elite links here: http://toplinecomms.com/blog/2013/02/pr-agency-trade-secrets-to-help-seos-build-elite-links

        I hope this helps

        Heather

          Hey Christopher,

          Great Question. This is a topic really close to my heart as I consider myself primarily a link builder before an account manger.

          The way I create backlinks for large ecommerce platforms (1 million+ visits from search per week) has reverted back to the more traditional way of doing marketing and PR, it now just has a SEO twist to it.

          Building out the assets you have on your site is key here. For example, if you are an optician, perhaps you should build out a widget that allows users to take a picture with there webcam and add the new glasses range to see how they look. Then set up a press release and contact some of the industry bloggers about it and see if they would be interested in writing about it. Then support this through the companies brand social channels.

          If you are a local business, I would say you need to go back to the 1940s ways of doing business and get to know your neighbour and start giving back to the community in order to get those prized links. For example, if you are a removal service in a University town, you should be offering students big discounts on your service and contacting the university to get them to link to your site in the online student starter packs.

          Basically, building a value proposition and telling people about it is the new link building tactic. It's the only thing that is truly scalable and search engine safe.

          All the other tactics like guest posting, PRs, blog comments, directories all still work, but the approach is totally different. You just need to be much more selective about who you choose to interact with and where you spend your time.

          I made a video response talking over this. Apologies for the lack lustre voice, I have a cold right now.

          Cheers,

            Heather Baker Its like you try to add some spam here.One post is enough at a time.If you are real than answer me How can I add backlink in PR.I read a post in SEL claiming that the world of PR is over and in case you still do it.Do it for press publication with one or two open URL.Anchor text PR no longer have same value because people abruptly use it to manipulate rank.

              Building value and delivering it surely thats the essence of today success.This is what every one wants.The Search engines and the users.I have recently developed a blog about forums.

              http://forumlist.info/
              It give the users list of relevant forums of there topic.
              Jumping high in alexa and even PR 1 of all internal pages and old post in less than 6 months with out SEO.

              Surely moving on my questions.Still there are some ways if not many we can create some good backlinks.Guest blogging voice I hear every where.People says Forum/blog posting with little different still on song. here is what I get one example of PR from you and some one else.I am all confuse hearing too many opinions so I just step ahead and asked you guys for some real life experience.
              If the other practices still work what cares a person needs to take on creating backlinks from them.

                Christopher, our Q&A system sometimes is slow and multiple identical responses get posted on occasion. Heather was not trying to spam, it was our fault. We have a system upgrade coming next week that should fix this.

                    Hi Christopher (great name by the way)

                    When it comes to link building it really depends on the niche, the budget and strategy of the overall campaign as to what types of links I would advise anyone to go after.

                    1. Guest Blogging on Real Sites with Real Communities (not those glorified article directory blogs)

                    2. Resource Lists and Link Round ups if you have a high quality resource don't be afraid to ask other webmasters to link to you

                    3. Infographics - Data Visualisations really go down well in certain niches - in other areas they've been done to death

                    4. Broken Link Building and Helping Webmasters clean up technical site issues

                    If you are still struggling for inspiration then I recommend you check out this post

                    http://pointblankseo.com/creative-link-building

                    and I have a list of my favourite link building blogs here:

                    http://tripleseo.com/best-link-building-blogs-2013/

                    But as Mike King says "its about making friends or making the news"

                        Hi Christopher

                        Link Round ups and Resource pages are quite common on the web especially with bloggers.

                        I wrote a post about finding and approaching these types of sites...
