LInk Building Ideas for Large Site

[Vegitss]

Hi,

I have a very large sized website of about 5 Million Pages. Earlier i used to rank very well with many naturally occurred links, But now, i lost my rankings with numerous Google updates. My content is user generated content and it wont be pure original as my users will post the same on other forums too. I all of my pages rank on #1 page for their keywords. Can anyone suggest me good link building strategy for larger websites as each url will have different keyword, i want all of my urls to be ranked well.

Waiting for your replies.

Hey Dhee, that is such an incredibly broad question that I doubt anyone can give you a perfect answer or indeed, if a perfect answer even exists.

If you drop in some example links I am sure folks can give you some more targeted guidance.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply...This is my website: hotfilesearch.com

Can you give me some ideas for it?

Hello Dhee,

This might be a tough one, due to the nature of the content. It looks like the intent is to let people download copies of materials that might be copyright, which is going to be a hard sell to the search engines and to encourage other legitimate sites to link to.

Hi Keri,

Thanks for the reply, but how about this site www.filestube.com which is of the same niche was ranking <100 alexa rank and ranking well in google. I am confused, on how to build up my site here. I do not encourage people to download copyright material..all i do, is indexing file hosting files, if anyone reports for copyright i will remove them promptly. But however, its not under my control to control kind of files to be indexed. As the algorithm will takes care of indexing all the files.

Google's not real keen on having just search results for other content in its index.

For people, you'll need to convince them why to link to your site instead of the source site you index. I couldn't get any of the links on the homepage to go anywhere, they just brought me to the home page, and I tried in two different browsers.

There are lots of ideas for getting links on the SEOmoz blog, but they generally center around having good content. I'll be honest with you that SEOmoz may not be the place to get the type of answer you're looking for. It does tend to be a fairly white hat crowd around here.
