Thread: Link Building Tips - Happy Readers

Hi all, here's a few thoughts on link building. I hope you find them helpful somehow. Please expand on this start, and add your own ideas.

Quality Content: Let's not forget our most important link building asset, happy readers.

Obviously, the best link building technique is to have quality content that is worth linking to. Quality sites don't have to spend as much time link building, because their readers do most of the link building work for them.

Ask For The Link: Most of our readers aren't webmasters, and won't understand how important links are to us. We have to tell them.

A brief friendly request for a link at the end of our articles is a really easy link building technique that can pay big dividends (if we're sharing good content). Let's include our photo, make it fun, and get down on our knees and beg. :-)

Make It Easy: Ok, we've got great content and we've asked for the link. Now we need to make it easy for our readers to do what we want them to do, because let's face it, we're all lazy as hell. :-)

Let's make the link information as easy to access as possible. As example, we could put a one sentence summary of our article and the URL at the end of the article, along with the request for a link. All the happy reader has to do is a quick copy and paste, and they've got everything they need.

Say Thanks: One more step. Let's keep an eye on who's linking to us, and take the time to say thanks.

Relationships are important, and people like to be noticed and thanked. It only takes a second, and now the happy reader is even happier, which can only be good for us.

Summary: Happy readers can be our most powerful link building tool. Let's make them smile with good content, and help them do what we want them to do.

really interesting article that you are write above.
Summary is look likes well defined.

Hello Friends,

Analyze your link profile compared to competing websites, and find pages which would be great sources to get links from. Many modern major search engines consider links to be signs of trust or votes for websites. Great in content links also can send a large stream of targeted high value traffic. At the bottom of this page I inserted a few free videos as an introduction to link building. We also worked with SEOmoz to offer a free 1-month trial to their service, which gives you access to their Open Site Explorer link data.

Thanks

Tip 1: Generate quality content

I know, this is somewhat of a no-brainer. But you absolutely need exceptional, high-quality content. It can be educational, entertaining or news-oriented, but make sure it is in tune with solving your audience’s needs. Readers will link to content they like and find useful. It is that simple.
Tip 2: Get on Twitter

Do you want to know the real reason you need to join social networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn? It is one of the easiest ways to build a strong following, or audience base, which in turn is where you’ll go to share your content and links.
You shouldn't share only your content, but you can certainly post links to your own stuff. And, the main reason to share in social media? Google and Bing acknowledge that social sharing (links, status, tweets, updates) count in how your site gets ranked and where it shows up in search results. Many SEO experts are now using social media as their main approach to link-building.
Tip 3: Contribute to other sites

You should write for other sites. Do it because it is fun and cool and contributes to the community at large, but also because you’ll be able to [organically] link back to your site. Focus on sites that you know, sites that are relevant to your topic, and not the content farms that still exist, even after Google penalized them.
Tip 4: Get on Yelp

Local business directories and review sites like Yelp, Google Places, and FourSquare also provide quality links back to your site. As your ratings grow, your rank also increases within those sites, thereby sending you some additional traffic. Needless to say, it'll also be a motivating factor to improve upon your customer service, and that's always good for business.
Tip 5: Add video to your site

Videos can generate great links to your web pages. (Check out the YouTube Marketing Crash Course video that I moderate.) Before you upload, be sure to include a keyword in the video file name. Then make sure you optimize the title, the description and the meta tags, when possible. The description block is your biggest opportunity to get people to click on your link; you should always start it with the full link and name of your site.

Sharing link love and interacting with readers is another strong way of link building if you are running a blog, forum and even a community.

Use of videos and useful content can help you getting links. You may go for guest blogging and link love programs for efficient yet effective link building.

yup,,its very necessary to get to the concepts of search engines that what it is that they are happy to put your link in top results of theirs ..
One must get through these to build quality links instead of the spamming content..

Link Building is helpful for getting more visitor to your website. I mostly prefer to do forum posting, blog comment, social bookmarking, directory submission, and article submission. It also helpful for creating a good quality of backlink. It increases your keyword ranking up over the search engine website.
