The most frequently asked question I get is; “What is the best link building campaign (to achieve higher rankings obviously)?”

Of course it’s very different for each site, market, keywords and so on.  Which is why we offer our services in small packages, so you can order them monthly in combination with each other.

First thing first; url’s & keywords; as long you or your seo-company keeps track of those and can provide us with it, that’s the best way, no doubt about that.

If not; keyword ranking report – it provides for a large number of pages the best keywords(phrases) and their rankings, so we have the data to work with and as a bonus; it’s very, very valuable for you to look at and follow up on your seo.

We offer 3 services;

  1. Blog commenting
  2. Article writing & submission
  3. Directory submission

Of course there are other link building tactics, but these 3 are ‘a sure bet’, and they work together very well. From the 200 different factors, the anchor text links from related, high PR pages is still the most important one.

While the best way to get those are the blog comments, then the articles and last are the directory submissions; when you put a price on them it’s the other way around.

Which means that for the same $XX you spend, you do get more or less the same total link value out of it … because  that’s how I’ve been balancing these packages as best as possible over the years J

So, these are my monthly packages for it;

So, basically – yes, I’m suggesting that you simply take 1 package of each per month, or if your budget is limited you can change each time you order; point being; it’s the combination of them that will eventually do the trick.

But ok, let me give me a few important pointers; (all tactics give related links!)

  • Blog commenting
    • Biggest Advantage:
      • High PR links
    • Disadvantages:
      • It’s just really is really hard!
      • requires a lot of research (very expensive)
      • native English writers (more expensive)
      • mostly no anchor text link
      • mostly no deep-linking
    • Important:
      • It’s mostly about high PR links without anchor text, but that still means that your homepage gets more PR and rather fast with these links, and so your homepage becomes that related, high PR page where you have 100% control over the anchor texts links used to link to other pages and that does show in the rankings!
  • Article writing & submission
    • Advantages:
      • Consistent
      • As well decent PR links as large amount of links
      • very, very good for anchor text deep-linking
      • the more you do it, the better it actually gets
    • Disadvantages:
      • native English writers (more expensive)
    • Important:
      • That’s why it says consistent as first advantage – there are no major disadvantages. It’s just not cheap.
  • Directory Submission
    • Advantages:
      • Cheap = you can get a really lot of links = the effect can by spectacular sometimes (as long you have PR already).
      • Although average PR is rather low, the category tree structure and the other listings on the same page as your listing make the pages very related, this in combination with the large amount you get from it, the results are there.
    • Disadvantages:
      • You cannot do it forever!
      • Simply put: 500 really very good directories, 500 good ones, then another 500-1000 just good enough, that’s it, those other 30.000 directories are or paid or crap.
      • Once you have done about 1.500 directory submissions we can still do another 500 every few months, but then it’s just exhausted as a decent link building tactic.
    • Note:
      • As a last resource there are the semi-automated directory submissions; there are constantly new directories being created, to get into those from in the beginning will give you good links in the long run and it’s just $25 for 250 semi-automated directory submissions.
