Link Building with Bloggers

[ypl]

I want to know when it comes to link building with relevant bloggers, is there a difference among the following in terms of SEO value?

1. product review

2. product giveaway

3. guest blog

Also, what would look natural o Google as how many of such links I can build per month?  We are a consumer products, we've had lots of bloggers approach us wanting to do the above link building with us, if they fit the profile, high quality site, relevant to our business, does that mean I can do as many per month as we'd like to?

I would recommend using the brand name for linking in 5 out of 8 links. Be diverse and target the user. The search engine can detect what you want to rank for with a few authoritative links and proper usage for internal linking.

How to keep it looking natural... Good Question.

Would you put an ad on the moon for one of your customers to find your business? Better yet would you direct a random person to the moon for no reason? Well, any link that does not belong is doing just that. It is targeting not relevant traffic to your niche, and you are placing an ad on the moon.

If it makes sense then its natural and the search engine will determine this via user interaction. Use your keywords in variations and also be sure to deep link. Only place links where it makes sense, even if you have to create sense : )

Google will punish you for over optimizing and spam.. However if you are targeting customers with an ad on the moon. I feel like Google should send your site to the moon. It deserves it! lol
