Two very effective and free long term link building strategies

[Kurt]

Here's a two link building strategies that you need to seriously consider adding to your tool kit.

The first is Guest Blogging, but not just randomly searching for websites and asking if they accept guest posts. Try these instead:

FaceBook has a number of groups dedicated to link exchanges and guest posts. Here's the FB search results for groups for each:

Code:

https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=link%20exchange
https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=guest%20post

Also check for FB groups for Blog and Link Roundups

Code:

https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=expert%20roundup
https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=link%20roundup

 
*Stupid FB won't let me link directly to their search results so you'll have to copy/past the URLs.

Reddit has a couple relevant subreddits:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GuestPost/

There are signs Google has reduced the value of links coming from guest posts. However, using a little planning there's no way for Google to always tell if a post is a guest post or not. It's also unlikely Google will contact other members of a group pretending to want to do some linking and asking "What's the site?".


The second method is networking.

This takes effort and dedication over time, but it is extremely powerful.This is how link brokers build their business and it's a business model that you can use for your own SEO and/or sell to clients. Getting to know people for your mutual benefit will always be a sound business model.

Where do people that have access to multiple sites AND are interested in marketing these hang out?

The obvious answer are places like marketing/SEO groups and forums.

But...there's also web designers and website managers that have clients that could use content and/or links. Here's a few ideas of communities to join and network with people that can get and give you links.
