      I can tell that you are a very energetic person who can write copious content.

      I would spend the next several months writing My Message and spend zero time worrying about links.

      You received the same advice here from iNet SEO.

          A "nofollow" link can benefit you by creating a more diverse backlink profile. In other words, having a good amount of "dofollow" links is obviously very beneficial, but "nofollows" are a natural part of the web world, and having a few of those won't hurt, and will help diversify your link profile in the eyes of Google.

              Hmmm, thanks a lot for the suggestion. in fact currently i am writing a good tutorial that is original (and hopefuly a good tutorial) for many sites..

              and actually my website ikt.co.id , is a site that is created with "Good Content" in mind (if you dont believe me just try go there.. it is full flash, but it has a very special and unique features, you can open the site even from your cellphone or any other devices that have no flash player installed in it) 😄

              Sigh... i guess, because i am not sure what is good anymore.. i will do all of them 🙂 ...

              1. do try to write a good content

              2. active in forums (especially the one that allow me to post a dofollow links) xD

              3. sigh, i really cant help this, perhaps ... (i will also employ the use of those services like backlinkmonsters.com ), and if the services proved to be a disaster, i will definitely not do that anymore ... but unless proven otherwise, i really cant stop myself not to use it :((

                I post all of my content on my own site, I don't give any of it away by syndication and guest posting... and forgot about linkbuilding a long time ago.

                  and without linkbuilding your site can still do well in SERP?

                    If you have lots of very high quality content it will attract natural links faster than a human linkbuilder.  And the quality of those links will be higher than what a human linkbuilder would acquire.

                    This will not work if your content is low quality or mediocre.

                      Wouldn't be fair to say that even if your content is absolutely amazing, high quality content, the website that it is published on has to have a relative high PA and DA? How are the search engines going to rank your content if the site itself is not ranking well? How are they (SE) going to ever find it if your are not already among the top 10?

                        If you have that amazing content just toss it out to sites like reddit, slashdot, digg, stumbleupon.  If its amazing that should be like throwing gasoline on a fire and result in some likes, links, tweets, etc.  Amazing content does that.

                          Indeed it does but, I remember you saying a while ago that it is better to post it first on your own website (speaking of high quality content). What would you do when your own website does not rank as high as you wish to use it for spreading the word about your own press releases? Use the ones above that you just mentioned? What about spending some money and push them through some high quality Press Release websites? What if, the articles are not high quality and you just want some backlinks...

                            Here is how I operate...

                            All of the content that I produce is posted on my own site.   I never syndicate articles, never use press releases, never do guest blog posts.  I believe that those activities feed existing competitors and create new competitors.

                            I mentioned reddit, slashdot, digg and stumble because only a snippet about my content is posted there.  Anybody who wants to see it comes to my own site.

                            Rewording one of your questions.....

                            Q: What would I do when an article on my own site does not rank as high as I hope it will immediately after publishing it.

                            A: I immediately start writing a new article on another subject.  In other words I do nothing... or I wait.... and when I check back a few months later that article is usually higher in the SERPs... a year or so later it is often ranking really well.

                            If you can create best-on-the-web content it can succeed without SEO.

                            These are not articles that you write in an hour, or a morning or even a day.  I might spend a week or more with help from a graphics person making illustrations and taking photos, and with some help from a researcher.

                            Q: What if, the articles are not high quality and you just want some backlinks...

                            A: I don't want low quality articles, even as press releases.  They would be more valuable to me representing my competitor.

                              I completely agree with what you just said but I assume that snippet alone needs to be that....amazing, to be picked up by other, right? I mean there is not much you can share in a snippet, a few sentences maybe an image what about videos? Have you tried link building using any type of video?

                              Could you share your homepage metrics, just PR, PA and DA.
