Link building techniques

[GAZ09]

Hi there guys,

2011 will not doubt bring new changes to how Google look at links, I heard that there have been complaints because a lot of poor websites rank really high because of the vast amount of links they have acquired!

Can any one please provide me some pointers for sucesful white hat link building tips? I would be very grateful!!

Thanks guys

The best tip I can give is to go out and be proactive.

Sure, there are directories out there, but with the recent Farmer update, you have to be careful where you tread with those.

Contact webmasters, find common ground and ask for links. Also, blog linkable content that provides information.

Google changed it's algorithm recently to devalue low quality web sites. "content farms".

This may or may not affect link directories, but I know that Google does devalue some links from directories as spam.

Someone may step in and correct me if I'm wrong.
