What are some Boilerplate Link-Building Activities for a new site?

[petersocapro]

Assuming you have built a new sophisticated site that involves

• high user engagement as in bounce rate < 30%
• sophisticated genuine content (pages > 2000 chars)
• best possible site speed

what are some of the boilerplate link building activities you would execute under which considerations?

Activities: I am thinking of things along the lines of

• building X social media links using a fiverr
• submission to curated link directories
• reach out for high quality links with thought leaders
• etc

Considerations: I am thinking of things along the lines of

• keep a constant link gain velocity over the first 3 months
• make sure you place links across pages not just the root domain
• make sure you have a mix of follow and no-follow links and a natural anchor text distribution

In short I am hoping we can crowdsource a linkbuilding starting guide in the SEO world of 2015.

It sounds like you are looking for a link manipulation guide. Don't buy social media links on fiverr. You also should not worry about link velocity if the links are natural.

More information on the business would help, but in general go ahead and claim profiles on social media and web 2.0 sites as this will help establish your brand. If you have a physical address, make sure you get your Google+ business profile and submit to the major data aggregators and other NAP sites. Look at the backlink profiles of your competitors or do a bit of searching to find sites in your niche where you can acquire links. Submit a press release about the launch, maybe do a few interviews if the site is something people would be interested in.

Yeah...what I see above could ONLY be looked at as link manipulations...

Don't know how else to phrase what I mean - but it appears that you're trying to gain traffic by using all the WRONG tactics....when I see clients that use content markers as " > 2000 chars"  & "fiverr" & "boilerplate"  -- they're all telltales of trying to get real live stable rankings using 2004 tactics....sigh....

YMMV...but in my world those items you've listed show a basic fault in your whole SEO strategy, eh!

I read  various new upcoming strategies for the 2015 link building as i understand Good links its  possible through trusted domains , and the domain authority , citation value and page rank should be higher .

The secret is out. Here are the seven killer link-building strategies

1. Start guest blogging. Make sure you pick a popular blogs that many peoples use and that have good authority and similar to yours topic .

2) Create a Twitter account , you can post your links on through tweet but make sure you would have to gain some follower  first which can be tricky  .

3. Set up Google alerts , if  you have a company that you are proud of, then you can user the alert when someone use your name then Google will alert you then you can ask for a link on those post .

4) Write video transcripts. These can take forever , If you have a popular video on youtube then you can transcript  and offer it free to the person who made it and ask them to give a back link within that.

5. Make an infographic ,  these are quite difficult for those who never familiar well with this but other hand you can then put in your backlink and post it to a website such as Reddit.

6) Find out where your images are being used. you can do this through Google image search it's time consuming you can email and ask them to refer to your website link .

7) Write something amazing. As  online magazines might want to write about your site you can ask them to simply include one links .

Hi there,

I'd agree with the comments from Richard and Jim below, the types of techniques you mention are not really the ones that I'd endorse when you're trying to build a business online. Social media links using Fiverr and link directories aren't as effective as they used to be and can cause link problems if you use them now.

Instead, I'd recommend trying to make your website link worthy and using your business USPs to try and generate links. Here are some good guides to help you with this:

• http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-link-building
• http://moz.com/blog/10-illustrations-on-search-engines-valuation-of-links
• http://moz.com/blog/link-building-101-the-almost-complete-link-guide-updated-for-post-penguin

These guides and tactics focus on more sustainable methods of link building which should help you in the long term,

I hope that helps!
