How to build good backlinks?

xiaomaster · 09-01-2007, 11:22 AM

Hi,
I just launched my new blog for 6 days. I'm pushing content and building backlinks for it. I have some questions about this:
1) How many backlinks should I build daily? Currently I'm building 3-4 backlinks daily for my site.
2) Should I build backlinks from PR0 sites? Up to now, most of my backlinks are PR1-4.
3) Building backlinks with recipocal links are good or bad?
4) What keyphrase should I make as anchor text in others sites? For example my site name and keyphrase is "live online game review", and I want to get good ranking for "live online game review" (in short run) and then "online game review" (long run), should I use only "live online game review" or only "online game review" or mix both as anchor text?
I'm new in this SEO world and hope you will give me your advice.
Thanks a lot.

As far as getting backlinks from zero pagerank sites, it depends on the quality of those sites. There are many pagerank zero sites that are much better for serp's than alot of pr 6 sites. You wont get much pagerank passed though from the pr zero's , but pr benefit will come from the high pr backlinks u build. Dont discount low pr sites alltogether.

So, how many backlinks should I build daily? How many will be marked as "spam" by google?

1) As many as you can... cause there's no guarantee if your target links would approve or let your site linked to them...

2)There's no problem to be linked in a PR0 site...it would still help you as long as it is relevant with yours...

3)Reciprocal links aren't bad if its related to your site..Much better to have inbound links or one-way links.

4)Use the keyphrase that is closer to your own target keyword. you could use both of it anyway...

Well, how about 100% approving backlinks? I can build 3-4 ones daily. How many should I go now?

1.) Depends on the method you are doing, if you are after pagerank, do maybe 25 to 50 backlinks per day, if you are after traffic, it is up to you as long as you are not doing link spamming.
2.) Of course yes, PR is not that important.
3.) Yes, but be careful sometimes because other sites would put a nofollow declaration in your link.
4.) Use "live online game review" as your anchor text or put those keywords in title, meta, and formatted tags (even in alts).

What's important from an SEO point of view is getting relevant (same niche) and quality back links You get organic / natural links from other sites if you have useful content. Also having back links to high PR sites helps your site on PR building as well. Focus on content as this goes along with SEO

On a marketing perspective IMO, having more targetted link backs is very important as these yields the highest conversion rate. In general, the more link backs you have - the more exposure your site gets - the more chances you get traffic from these back links

Reciprocal links would really depend if they are placed on a similar niched site as you could get targetted traffic from them

One PR6 inlink per month is better than 10 PR2 inlinks per day, so it really depends on the PR.

If you're desperate, you gotta start somewhere. I personally wouldn't waste my time building an inlink from a page that's never likely to reach PR3. Then when you have a very popular site yourself, such as PR6, you shouldn't waste time building inlinks from anything less than PR4 or 5.

Technically, a 'backlink' is a recip' link. That's why I say 'inlink' which isn't necessarily recip'. Anyway, reciprocal links can be worth a lot, but they can also be a bad idea sometimes. If you're high-PR page has no outlinks other than the recip', and the other person's similarly high-PR page has lots of outlinks, then you've got a bad deal because their PR will be divided between their outlinks and you'll only receive a small percentage while you're giving them your whole lot.

It's important to mix it up, with different anchor text on different inlinks. Where you're repeating the link, keep it short (because it's less natural for lots of people to link to your site using the same long phrase, and a shorter phrase is a better match for a longer search term than a long link text phrase one is for a short search term.). If I were you, I'd use "online game reviews" and "online games" and "live online games", and very importantly, use the names of specific popular games. Check out these webmaster tools and pay special attention to those under the heading like "keyword research / analysis".

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your advice. I still have a question about this.

Can I use anchor text by reverse the keywords? For example, from "live online game review", I make: "review game online", "game online review", "game online live", "live game review", .... Does this hurt my SEO purpose in long run?

LinkPopularity · 09-02-2007, 07:27 AM

well, it's exactly what you should, vary the anchor text, but try as good as possible to use the same keywords for the same pages, that's how you get those site links in the google SERP's

xiaomaster · 09-02-2007, 09:35 AM

And how about building link by comment in other blogs in same niche? Is it a good way to go?

MagnaLifeOdin · 09-02-2007, 01:57 PM

commenting on blogs is a good way to build links...if the blogger didn't set comment links with the "nofollow" tag.

also you definitely do not want to just have the same keyword phrase in the anchor text...in the long run you will realize you poured so much time and effort into just 1 keyword when there are hundreds of other similar keyword you want to take advantage of. I speak from experience. So change it up here and there.

Hi,
How can we know that a Wordpress blog owner set comment links with the "nofollow" tag or not?

Ar3d · 09-03-2007, 01:22 AM

backlinks must be always related to your site in terms of your products and services that you offer.

xiaomaster · 09-03-2007, 10:57 AM

Well, as your guided, I'm building about 4-5 backlinks with recipocal links daily from related sites with PR2->PR4 (higher PR than me) and I varied the anchor text from "live online game review" to: top game review, live top game, game review live, top online game, popular online game, popular game review, ....
Pls let me know if I'm going to right way. And should I only keep building backlink with recipocal like this or I need more 1-way links without recipocal?
Thanks.

I also had a new blog.. My traffic is poor. Ive done social bookmarking. directory submission and use it as my sigs.. I want to improve my traffic? anything else I could do?

richardvan1 · 09-03-2007, 12:24 PM

Some sites are easer to obtain backlinks than others.

for example my site found in my sig, is a "web hosting review" site
all i need to do to get backlinks is write an article or award and then contact that particular host to let them know about the article and most of the time they will link to it..

article sites such as this are easy to get links, i guess all on your perticular seo tactics.

MrCat · 09-04-2007, 09:57 AM

You should also try posting on other blogs in the same niche. Post in other forums also related to your niche and promote your blog there. Always provide fresh content as this will make your visitors wanna go to your site from time to time
