Link Building Workflow

Hi Everyone,

Is there any software that can help manage link building activities? I am keen to explore such a software.

Are there any software packages that are designed to manage the link building activity?
Some leads to such software would be really appreciated.

Thank you for your info.

1.Use Your Profile


Choose an appropriate non-offensive but memorable user name and fill out your profile with some reasonable detail. Do not include AIM and Yahoo profile links – only spammers do that. Do include a link to your main website if there is a spot for it. Look around at how much detail some of the forum thought leaders put in for a guide.

2.Use Your Signature


If the forum allows signatures definitely put an anchored link into your signature. Be sure you understand the forum policies on signatures first though so you do not make enemies with the management. If in doubt, ask first by private message.

3.Start and Respond to Topics

Regularly visit the forum, starting good topics and making intelligent comments. Where it fits well into the conversation drop in the occasional anchored link to your blog, but make sure you are not offensive or off topic.
Don’t always link to your stuff, link to other interesting resources too. Score big points by posting appropriate links to the blogs of the forum thought leaders and up and coming members. Others might even reciprocate (but NEVER ask them too).
If you blog, occasionally you can write a killer post with a little controversy. Post a summary and link to the forum as a new thread, asking others what they think. Say something like “If I got this wrong please let me know“. Participate in the resulting discussion, but not too much since your comments can end the discussion if everyone thinks you have your answer now. This technique can be very effective to bring in traffic to your blog posts.

4.Be Engaging to Engage Others

Forget using a forum to promote yourself unless you are prepared to come to the forum regularly and contribute. As a regular poster you will develop trust and make friends who will engage with you in your business, blog or websites. As a rare poster you will be considered a lousy drive-by spammer worthy only of being banned.

Only concentrate on making real backlink from related websites.. Other links are not useful at all..

Hi all, some good information! Im not sure if this helps, but Ive been using a strategy called Link Wheel. Keeping a record of where I have linked and using some dofollow and nofollow sites to keep it real and to diversify it up.

I usually go something like this:

1. Blog sites (eg: Blogger, Blogspot)
2. web2.0 sites (eg: Squidoo, Terapad)
3. Article directories (eg: ezinearticles, goarticles)

Making sure to use at least one website is each category, having two links in each, one to my website and another to the next website in my link (creating the wheel). It creates a great flow and can work beautifully if done right.
There are companies that can do this for you and obviously make it easier, fast and give you more time.

Hi
Link building is through various offpage methods like directory submission, article submission ,blog posting, link building through link wheel
Inbound links increase through these methods and by this pagerank of site increases
Thanks.

It is important to define your linkbuilding strategies as there are many out there. As soon as you have defined it (forum posting, article marketing, PR marketing, social media etc etc), you can outsource the job as well, using sites like Guru.com/Elance.com to find freelancers to do it for you at a reasonable price.
