Link Building Strategy

[imageworks-261290]

Hello Everyone,

We have about 15 clients who we need to do link building for but I am at a loss on how to even begin.

Does anybody have any tips or tricks to achieving quality back links in a short amount of time?

Any help is appreciated!

Linkbuilding is the most challenging part of SEO for most people. Getting quality links fast is extra challenging.

If you have fantastic, best-on-the-web content you can often just submit it to sites such as Reddit and Slashdot and Stumbleupon... if it really is great content that will be like throwing gasoline on a fire.

If you don't have that type of content then you can buy backlinks... but bought links can be risky and you run the risk that they will be devalued.  I don't recommend it.

You could also hire someone who knows what they are doing to build the links for you or teach you.

There is a lot of good linkbuilding information and ideas posted here at SEOMoz and elsewhere on the web.  You could dedicate the next few weeks to study and learning the basics.  Then you will need to spend a lot of time still, figuring out how to do it and the challenge is different for each client.

If you are not up to that you can again, consider hiring someone who knows what they are doing.

EGOL said it perfectly, "Linking building is the most challenging part of SEO for most people."  If you are new to link building, it might be best to outsource this to someone who knows what they are doing.  The negative repercussions for doing a cheap fast job could really hurt your business in the long run.

However, with the warning aside, you can always start by obtain your competitors backlinks, but you have to be careful.  Not every link your competitor has is a good links, and being able to sift out the crap links from the good ones takes time and experience.

Good Luck
