What are the most effective link building strategies?

There are several ways to approach link building, so don’t restrain yourself to a few. As you’ll see, I’ve used a lot of strategies and techniques to build backlinks for my clients.

Keep in mind, you’ll need to focus on building links that actually help your site rank on search engines like Google.

Focus your time and strategy on high PR links 40 and up from sites that have a do-follow anchor. You will also need to diversify your links with no-follow from other sites as a way to build a strong linking profile.

Here are a few ways to get your link building process on the road.

Video Submission

You can use videos for brand interaction and engagement. After running a couple of text videos, I found out - you can get more interactions and engage with videos than you would with an image or text.

Most video sites will have search engines index your videos and keywords, so you can rank on search for your targeted keywords.
