SEO Without Borders

Now that we know who will be doing the backlinking, let’s take a look at what will they’ll be doing. Here, I’ve outline a 7 step plan for backlink success:

7 Step Action Plan for Backlink Success

1. Submit to General Directories
2. Submit to Niche Directories
3. Submit to Article Directories
4. Submit to Blog Directories
5. Bookmarking, RSS, Badges, Widgets (UGL – User Generated Linking)
6. Connecting with Social Media
7. SERP Link Building (Link Ninja)

Notice this is just an expansion of the first list of 4 implementation categories to include the different type of submissions)

Directory Submissions generally let you place a line of text with a backlink. Article Directories allow you to submit articles that backlink to your site and Blog directories pull your content directly from you blog once you set it up. This allows your content and backlinks to spread to many other sites and blogs.

Let’s now take a closer look at each one of these ‘vehicles’ (directories, blogs, social media, etc), while keeping in mind the goal of building as many backlinks as possible to your most important pages / for the most important kws you are targeting for your site.*

(* Something that deserves your full attention – which corrects a common error which many of us make – ‘how to create the link itself’. In the appendix (i), is the “SEO friendly linking methods’ which need to be used to produce maximum SEO benefit for backlinks.)
