So here am listing 10 Easy to use Link building methods for your SEO campaign.
Note: Most of the methods listed here are useful for Long tail keywords only. For competitive and short tail ones - you really need creative SEO skills.
1. Directory Submission - Old school technique but still effective for Long tail keywords and for newly launched websites.
2. Article Submission - The game is simple. Get a list of article directories say some 100+, write some 10 unique articles and distribute it freely to all these 100+ article directories. It is really great if you can write a unique article for each article directory but it is really time consuming. Make sure you meet the guidelines of article directories for faster approvals.
3. Social Bookmarking - The process of bookmarking your important website pages, articles and blog posts with bookmarking websites like Digg,Reddit etc. This is an especially good method for promotion in search engines, but you need to do it right.
4. Press Release Submission - It's more like Article directory submission. Write about an update or offer your company recently launched and distribute it in press release directories. Always make sure you write it as news coverage or at least an article that sounds like news. Doing a paid press release using reputed directories can help you get better exposure.
5. Guest Blogging - The most useful and highly effective tool for link building. The tedious part is that you need an already established website and good networking with various bloggers. This is real human side of link building where relationship really counts.
