Wikihow Linkbuilding

[iamnew]

My question is simple.

How does a Mega Site like WikiHow does it link building ?

Just curios ... might learn a bit or two about SEO

For informational and educational websites like wikihow.com - links come naturally and easily as compared to other biz/ecom websites.

Wikihow has over 1,800 backlinks from Educational / university sites, and over 200 links from Government sites and that speaks a lot about their content. This is not to say that they can skip link building strategies, but it is just a lot easier to get links for such websites.

Mashable links to them: http://mashable.com/2009/02/18/how-to-guide/ , and so does Google: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/

In short, the quantity and the quality of their content does the link building for them to a major extent.
