Effective Link Building Strategies
http://www.drostdesigns.com/effective-link-building-strategies/

If you're an online business owner you know that generating traffic to your website and converting that traffic into sales is the lifeblood of your business. One of the best ways of generating free traffic is getting high rankings in the search engines. In order to achieve high rankings you need lots of inbound links. The quantity, quality and relevance of these links are the main factors why search engines will rank one site ahead of another. Incorrect link building will lower your rankings and kill your traffic.

Recently many websites lost their search engine rankings after the Penguin Update because they didn't acquire their links naturally. Webmasters who subscribed to automated link building software, link farms or received all their links from one source lost their rankings resulting in lost sales. Their website was no longer on the first page of Google.

Here are 7 effective link building strategies

1.Create quality content
2.Get links from quality websites
3.Get links from relevant websites
4.Get links from a variety of websites
5.Reverse engineer links from your competition
6.Utilize Social media
7.Be consistent

Let's discuss the first strategy...Create quality content

If your content offers solutions to the most pressing problems of your customers they'll want to share the information with their friends and keep coming back for more. When creating content, think from your customer's viewpoint rather than your own so others will link to your content naturally.

Let's discuss the second strategy...Get links from quality websites

Quality trumps quantity when it comes to link building. For instance a link from CNN will trump a link from a new website because CNN is recognized as an authority website that has gained 1000s of inbounds links (contains lots of link juice). A link from an authority website will instantly increase your rankings. 

When seeking inbound links look for sites that contain lots of link juice. A single link from a high quality site will trump inbound links from 100 low quality sites.
