Content MarketingContent Marketing – By creating lots of high quality, viral, educational and/or entertaining content on a regular basis a website will have many more opportunities to capture inbound links. This is the most holistic and natural way to do link building.

Press ReleasesPress Releases – Free wires like PRLog.org and paid wires like Marketwire.com and PRWeb.com allow links to be included with the release. These websites syndicate releases to hundreds of websites which publish the release and the accompanying links. For additional SEO help with press releases download our Press Release Optimization Guide.

Local Directory ListingsLocal Directory Listings – Always include company websites on Google, Bing and Yahoo’s local directory. It is also a good idea to submit to Localeze.com. These are powerful brand signals and links for the search engines.

Social ProfilesSocial Profiles – Have a company LinkedIn profile and make sure employees’ profiles link to it. Use Namechk.com to set up the rest of the company’s social media profiles. While many of these links are no-follow, remember, Google reserves the right to follow a no-follow link and social signals account for up to seven percent of a website’s ability to rank.

PartnershipsPartnerships – Strategically partner with similar companies and share links and content.

Client & Vendor SitesClient & Vendor Sites – If prudent, ask clients for links. A good way to solicit links from vendors is to offer up a testimonial for their website. Just make sure it includes a link.

Communities, Blogs & Forums
Communities, Blogs & Forums – Monitoring keywords and brand names on blogs, forums and in social media will create opportunities to engage in the conversation. Leave links which add value to the conversation and are prudent. There’s a fine line between adding value and spamming. If the line is crossed or traversed, members of the community will communicate their displeasure.

Article SharingArticle Sharing – Write original articles with links that point back to the appropriate website and submit them to Ezinearticles.com or Suite101.com. Article sharing websites recently took a hit from the Google Panda update so don’t expect to get the same results as the pre-Panda days. However, article sharing still creates inbound links and should be considered as a viable link building strategy.

Product Reviews & Interviews
Product Reviews & Interviews – Give away free products or services to bloggers in exchange for a review. Review content almost always links to the website containing the product or service. Solicit interviews from bloggers. Bloggers who publish interviews almost always link to the interviewees website.

Presentations & Webinars – Submit presentations to SlideShare.net and include links in the slide deck. Also, host webinars for live blogcast coverage, tweets and blog reviews.
