Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for your reply,

You have said that directories and article websites are not as important anymore, then what is the best way to place links on the regular basis. Obviously networking with bloggers, submitting news to respectable websites ect seems to be the best way to get links, but are those the only strategies to use?

Thank you for your reply,

I realize now that I had to provide more information about our website.

It is an international social network for extreme sports enthusiasts. At this point our main target is to attract readers and contributors. The content is user-generated (blogs, wiki) and in my personal opinion it is our greatest advantage at this point: we have plenty of unique and useful content.

As I understand the competition for some quality keywords is pretty low, for example google shows 0.1 competition for keywords with 500,000 monthly searches.

We do have reasonable resources including the team of writers that update the website regularly.

Cheers,
