Good link love, bad link love, do we really care who links to us?

A savvy blogger or website owner would say yes and no. Based on the 80-20 rule of business – 80% of your traffic will come from only 20% of your links (by my stats, it’s less than 20%). The best way to get yourself out there is to show some 'Link Love' and spread the word for others and it creates a viral marketing effect back to your own links :)

60+ tips about showing "Link Love' -

1. Write an authority article. (Without a doubt the best way to gain deep links.) 2. Write great linkbait. (This is the ultimate for 2011.) 3. Use numbers in your titles. (People like numbers.)
4. Spend 10 hours and put together a huge list. (The link value will be worth the effort.)
5. Say nice things about people who link out. (My momma always said, “If you can’t say anything nice, you won’t get links.”)
6. Start something crazy like “Blogtipping”.
7. Offer awesome resources, free. (Everyone likes, and links to free.)
8. Spellcheck everything, twice. (I plead guitly guilty.)
9. Link to others, and they’ll link back. (Most of the time right?)
10. Design an award worthy blog or website. (Not just a site you like, a site everyone likes.)
11. Create a contest in your niche. (These don’t have to be SEO related.)
12. Say something stupid.
13. Write a complete “How To” resource. (They get dugg frequently.)
14. Release a Firefox extension. (Make sure you support it.)
15. Interview your industries experts. (Make it easy and quick for them.)
Off-Site Content Creation
16. Presell and content pages. (My content page on your site.)
17. Write and submit articles. (Don’t forget your byline link.)
18. Submit articles to specialized sites. (Big sites in your niche, ESPN, SEJ, Scrapbook.com, etc.)
Sometimes these sites will pick up your article and feature your link in the byline.
19. Write and submit a press release. (Don’t forget your byline link.)
20. Offer to be a guest blogger. (Almost anyone is up for free content.)
21. Buy under the radar direct links. (You can email website owners asking to buy links.)
22. Buy in-content links on old pages. (Ask to buy a certain word on a certain page, make it simple for the owner.)
23. Buy old sites and link to your site. (Can be expensive.)
24. Pay for a sponsored post. (I usually pay $5-50+ for a small footer link in a post.)
25. Buy direct directory listings. (Some directories are better than others.)
Yahoo! Directory ($299/yr)
Business.com ($199/yr)
StartingPoint ($99/yr)
Best of the Web ($69/yr or $199 one time)
Joe Ant ($39/yr)
Aviva Directory ($50/yr or $75 one time)
26. Pay for bulk directory submission. (You can find people willing to submit your site at forums usually for less than $20 to 400 directories.)
27. Trade something for a link. (Often times you can buy an office staff pizza on Friday in exchange for a link on their website. Or maybe you can sponsor an office contest or promotion in exchange for publicity on their website.)
28. Pay a link builder. (This will involve substantial cost and results aren’t guaranteed.)
29. Send your product to potential reviewers at no cost to them.
30. Post your link in forums. (Use footer links on forums that allow links.)
31. Post your feed in forums. (Many vBulletin forums show your latest post (on your blog) by your name, in your “User CP>Options scroll down to the bottom and put your feed address in.)
32. Comment on blogs. (Pick a reasonable number, and try to post that many every day.)
33. Submit to generic directories. (Directories without major branding.)
Easy Google Search
DirectorySEO
Fresh Directory
34. Submit to the big free directories. (Everyone’s invited here.)
DMOZ
HAABAA
Ezilion
AddURL
35. Ask for a link. (You’d better have a good resource, or be the authority in your niche.)
36. Sign guestbooks. (I know this just reminds you of Geocities, but there are thousands of guestbooks on sites with PR that are abandoned. Go get yourself a free link.)
Free Template guestbook
37. Find out where your articles are shown, and offer exclusive content. (This only works when real sites, not article-only sites, pick up your article. Explain why an exclusive piece would benefit them.)
38. Ask friends to read a new post, and reference it if they like it. (This can go over really well if you are well connected.)
39. Leave a testimonial. (Do it for every product you use, be specific when necessary.)
40. Support a non-profit website/company. (Make sure they have a website and will link you first.)
41. Build a website for a non-profit organization.
42. Form partnerships with online “friends”. (I have 6 people on my gmail chat list that I chat with regularly, I don’t mind asking for a link to a new site, or a great post. In exchange, I Digg their articles, post links to their good articles, etc.)
43. Create an awesome tool. (This is just one example of the many free tools out there)
44. Send targeted emails. (Make sure the first email asks a question, or helps them. Then ask for a link.)
45. Create a Del.icio.us account and start tagging. (Del.icio.us Popular Pages can send as much traffic as Digg.)
46. Talk to manufacturers or retailers that you buy from about linking to you. (This could work with #36, leave them a testimonial.)
47. Post a listing on Craigslist. (Posts below are pretty spammy but do have links.)
Grand Opening Sale!!! Modern style furniture, Sofa, Platform beds…
ResumeOutlet.com – Resume Writing Service for Sale (Website + Domain) – $3000
2005 Chevrolet Impala Sedan! Like New! Pic! Look! – $13999
48. Post a helpful post with a link at Google Groups. (Gotta love the straight html links.)
49. Post link spam helpful posts to Yahoo! Answers. (Do they ever moderate this stuff?)
50. Join your local Chamber of Commerce. (Every city has one.)
52. Talk to similar but non-competing businesses offline, and ask for a link. (Explain how, by linking to you, their customers will see their site as the complete resource and are more likely to return.)
53. Create a free template or theme. (Wordpress or CSS/XHTML are both popular in the free template sector.)
54. Review a product or service. (Bonus points if you have authority in the niche, and are one of the first to review it. Many times you’ll rank right behind the product.)
55. Have a privacy policy. (Every reputable company does.)
56. Create a contact page. (Mine is coming…I never said I was perfect!)
57. Don’t post spam content. (This includes PLR articles, only RSS feeds, or just “borrowing” content.)
58. Hire writers who are better than you. (Especially important when you have multiple sites and don’t know what to do.)
59. Get 1 link per domain. (Sitewide links are SOOOO 2009.)
60. Stay ahead of the curve. (You’ll get thousands of links if you have the first and oldest site about new technology.)
61. Link out, especially to blogs. (I always read people who link to me. Technorati keeps great track of who is linking to you.)
62. When writing, never lose sight of the “Super Digg”, and write accordingly. (Who doesn’t love a good super digg?)
63. Install a page translator. (Anyone have a recommendation?)
64. Submit to a sub-category on Reddit. (Submit to the sub-cat and the homepage.)
65. Ping appropriate sites with every new post. (Wordpress and Typepad make this easy.)
List of Ping Services
RSS Ping List
Pingoat
66. Be creative when link hunting. (You’ll be getting links nobody else is even asking for.)
