Hi Jason! Great post. I added the items here to my linkbuilding spreadsheet for use with my clients.I have a question though. I’ve been using social bookmarking inconsistently for years. However, I did notice that out of these sites, StumbleUpon is the one that brings significant traffic. Do you think I should still continue submitting my blog posts to the social bookmarking sites you mentioned?Thanks! Reply
Another great resource from your website/blog. These are fantastic ways to get links and at the same time, promote your content. With this article, you made it very easy to read and follow. I have already implemented the missing links from your mentioned websites! I will always read your blog and learn new things.
Looks like some niches are better than others, but I really like Lilia’s comment about emailing sites that have links to your competitors. This is really awesome, especially if you can offer them great content that benefits them and their users. So glad I saw it!
If you have taken any photos or created any images, you could upload them to Flickr or other images directories. In the description, include a link to your blog.

Yes, Really to create backlinks manually is too hard, Quora is one of the best way to get link naturally. Bookmarking is also a great way to get some links back.
I’m on the same boat as you right now; I’m in the process of starting my own blog. My plan is, essentially, to do everything Neil has suggested. I have created a Quora and Haro account and will start to become more active on there once the blog is up. Also, commenting on other relevant blogs by giving real insight is a great option. Be sure to share all your posts on various Social Media platforms as well.
Building links was once an easy and almost automated affair, but now if I want to build links for my website, I need to work for them. Not only that, but I need to create a profile that shows backlinks coming from other sites, that way it’s varied in where they come from and which pages they are leading to.
Google also believes that there’s always more information out there. With external link building, organizing information (to help your reader) becomes your mission, too. When you pay close attention to what your readers and ideal buyers want, you don’t have to use hype to sell your products.
Great article on getting backlinks. Would like to get such great information periodically from you. However, i am confused with one thing. Would not google consider document sharing a duplicate content. If you have written an article published it on your blog afteryou make it pdf and submit it to a document sharing blog. When google crawls it, would’nt google consider it a duplicate content? would it not harm your blog? I am newbie in this field. Please guide me about that.
such a huge list !! but not all do-able ones for the new bloggers or not-so-famous bloggers. will take a long long long time to connect with other bloggers and make friends with them if you have just started blogging. plus, contests, gifts, sponsoring quizzes and stuff require a lot of money and not viable for everybody, eespecially for students.
Even when you do get mentioned, though, there’s no actual guarantee that the people referencing you will give you a link. Sometimes things slip through the net. When that happens, it can be worthwhile to reach out and remind them that you’d like to be linked to.
Slice one of your infographics into pieces, or repurpose one from your last speaking gig. You can put these up on your blog, in your website's resource center, or even on a SlideShare account for more links.
Hi Felix, Thanks for this elaborated article and accept with your point that “The best websites from where you should get links are the ones without these pages”. It is comparatively easier to get your post live on the website having”write for us” but this is not what I’m looking for. The thing is, how to find such websites which will allow you to write? Typically they don’t respond to contribution email or they ask to us to pay some amount for the post. Is there any specific way to pitch them? May be with some writing sample or any other stuffs. I would appreciate your suggestion/recommendation on this. Thanks,
Monitor brand mentions by setting up alerts using tools like Mention or BuzzSumo, and adding keywords related to your brand or products. Just make sure you exclude any mentions from your own website within the alert, which you can do in these tools' settings.

Before I published the post, I visited each of those websites and grabbed an email address of someone who works there. If I couldn’t find an email address of a specific employee in the marketing department, I looked for an email address on the contact pages of these sites.
There are several factors that determine the value of a backlink. Backlinks from authoritative sites on a given topic are highly valuable. If both sites have content geared toward the keyword topic, the backlink is considered relevant and believed to have strong influence on the search engine rankings of the web page granted the backlink. A backlink represents a favorable 'editorial vote' for the receiving webpage from another granting webpage. Another important factor is the anchor text of the backlink. Anchor text is the descriptive labeling of the hyperlink as it appears on a web page. Search engine bots (i.e., spiders, crawlers, etc.) examine the anchor text to evaluate how relevant it is to the content on a webpage. Anchor text and webpage content congruency are highly weighted in search engine results page (SERP) rankings of a webpage with respect to any given keyword query by a search engine user.

Onibalusi, you’re a genius man! I’ve been reading some of your articles at YPP. It’s great to read another article from you here in SML. Keep it up, dude!
If this is a web directory, write an original title and description for each directory (see tips below). If it is an article directory submit an informational article such as "How to Lose 10Lbs in a Week" and include your link in the signature bio. If a forum, just talk about your subject, not your site. Publicizing your site should happen naturally on forums, if not it is looked at as spamming.

There are a few ways to give away free trials. You could create some call-to-action buttons for your website or blog. (Here are 50 free, customizable CTA templates to help you out.)

Even if a website has great SEO metrics, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be good for your link building campaigns. One of the most important things to consider is site relevancy. If a website is not relevant to yours, you might end up building a bad backlink. Google uses relevance as a trust signal. If your website sells baby chairs, getting a link from a site about guitars will not help you. Therefore, make sure the website you are analyzing is covering the same topics as you are and check if they are in the same niche. If the site is relevant, you might have a match.
