Link Building Mistakes

[marksbsteam]

Hello Everyone,

Here I found some common mistakes people do during link building?

The most common mistakes I have found that people concentrating on low quality links (submitting to low page rank web directories in wrong categories, buy links from bad link selling portals, articles sites etc ).

People do link farming. Link farm also affected your site. Some spammy link posting in forums, directories. Link building with relevant site is very important for external linking structure of your site.

Big sized Image or banner links and linking from adult sites, gambling sites, affiliated linking or irrelevant sites.

Linking on too long keyword phrases and long text. Eg. “SEO Specialist offers Expert SEO Services”

Linking on “Click Here”, “About Us”, “View My Site”, “Contact Me” these types of anchor links are not suitable.

i do agree on a few of your points. however you say its a mistake to get links from adult, gambling sites etc. can I ask why do you say this?

surely any link is better then none at all? even from a site such as this? would like to know why you make this point.

[sherone]

You are very right. thx for the informative sharing

[bermuda]

Well, several of your points sound correct to me and you could name them as incorrect link building tactics but the point about low PR websites and directories might be questionable you know since PR is just a Google related feature and the links established might be great for your Yahoo web rankings.

Sometimes, people make mistakes in adding too many links overnight or doing reciprocal links exchanges in very large numbers.

[brainch]

[mokmok69]

Yup, I think the biggest mistake of link building is getting link to unrelated site.

It won't work if your posts aren't informative or relevant. This forum is also nofollow, so it won't help with backlinks.

I agree, I have had a lot of success using articles to build back links.

Well you are particularly talking about the quality of links. I would also like to give my points regarding quality links. Kindly visit www(dot)linkpopularitymatters(dot)com/our-usp. Please let me know your inputs.

You forgot paid blog posts links :)

[jitendraag]

A good list there. However, I would still say that you should get links for 'click here' type of anchor because natural links would obviously use these anchor texts.

[webbyguy]

I never knew the length of the backlink made a difference. I guess it makes sense. Thanks for the info.

i am with you on the above mentioned mistakes.one should keep all this in mind to ensure effective rankings in google

[Bassinet]

One thing I just learned with social bookmarking was to make sure to set your bookmarks to "public". Sometimes they will default as private and therefore never get picked up by Google. Luckily I only had done about 20 sites so I was able to go back and make sure I fixed them.

You are 100% right and thank u for such a nice information.

[brightidea]

It won't work if your posts aren't informative or relevant. This forum is also nofollow, so it won't help with backlinks.

Specifically, it will not help with backlinks with regards to Google and other search engines that recognize the nofollow attribute. According to Bing Community posts, as late as June 2010, Bing is still having issues with recognizing the nofollow attribute. Also, Yahoo will soon be a non-contender since they will be getting their search results feeds from Bing.

To gain trust from Google you have to be pretty sure of what you are doing and how it will be helpful. I mean Google will give you credit when you have some reputation. There are many people who are getting fake links and even doing link farming which is not good.

This will not give them quality results and backlinks that are relevant.

[stephanielarry]

It does not work if the messages are not informative or relevant. This forum is also a nofollow, so that does not help, and back.

[vstrategy]

I think you have been mistaken to what say that websites can never get a links from adult sites and gambling sites. because their are gambling sites that has a forum and blog. You can get a back link to that sites when you post your sign. What do you think?

[MyWebsiteNow]

One of the scams is when you pay somebody for a backlink, it suddenly disappears or has the “nofollow” attribute. That is why you should check from time to time if the link is still there and if it doesn't have the “nofollow” attribute.

[craigcdz]

I use to do a lot of link building daily..This will really help me avoid such serious mistakes.Thanks for posting really useful info.

Thanks.....

[musclenatural]

thanks i was looking for that

[lilypage]

for some, link is a link, whether they are in a low pr sites or having a long keyword, well actually long keywords are better as long as it is relevant

low pr sites are also doing promotions for itself, in time it's pr will increase, and would surely effect your site as well

when do you call a page a link farm? i guess everyone should agree on that - a page with a lot of outbound links? but what if the page is a blog post and there are so many people commenting on it but with relevant posts and i suppose each people uses anchor text on their names

[shanewaatson]

you are right, these are the common mistakes.

[dhirendra.gvt]

Hi,

There are 7 link building mistakes: -
1. Failing to procure reciprocal links. I’ve seen so called SEO Guru’s say that reciprocal linking is dead and they will hurt your site. This just isn’t so. As we say in the South “They’re talking out their asses.” I have several blogs and websites with PR2 to PR4 that have nothing more than reciprocal links pointing at them. The important thing to remember is to make sure they links your trade are from quality sites.
2. Failing to acquire low PR links. For some reason, many Webmasters do not want PR0 sites linking to them. This is link building suicide! One day, those PR0 sites could be the next PR5 or better. Frankly, I don’t care who links to my sites. I can’t control it and if they’re passing any amount of authority, which even PR0 pass some, I’ll take it. It also looks natural when you have many more low authority sites pointing to your site than all high PR sites.
3. Failing to link out. Once again, we’re talking about making your site look natural to the Search Engines, especially Google. Authority sites link out to other authority sites. Google expects to see this. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a site stuck in the SERPS only to get a little boost when I linked to a higher authority site. In several instances, I’ve had the position right below Wikepedia. Seemed no matter how many links I added, I was stuck.
4. Failure to check your reciprocal link partners websites. Once you exchange links with someone, you need to follow up on a routine basis and make sure the link back to your site is still there. Some sites go down, accounts are closed, domains let expired and purchased by someone else, Webmasters changing website topics and some Webmasters simply taking your link down after you exchange links.
5. Failing to use Anchor text in your link. If someone gives you the opportunity to use Anchor text in the link back to your site, use it! In my opinion, anchor text in a backlink is the second biggest off page ranking factor for seo. Only the relevancy and authority of the page where the backlink originates is more important in my experience.
6. Failing to cover up your paid link footprints. Look, from here to the end of time, people will sell links. And from here to the end of time, Google will be trying to find paid links. And from here to the end of time, you’ll see blogs, websites and blog networks (think Backlink Solutions) get de indexed for selling links.
7. Failing to build links. I see people on the forums all the time asking how they should go about link building or how to get started link building. Many say they don’t know how and so they don’t even try. People! I hate link building as much as the next person, but it’s not Rocket Science. You may be able to rank high in a low competitive keyword niche with on-page SEO, but for a competitive niche where’s there’s money to be made, you’re going to need some relevant backlinks.

I agree and think that link farms are the worse way to get links and a waste of your money.

Hello,
Link building is a Search Engine Optimization Process and it is one of the most important factors for achieving top search engine rankings. When building links to your website, there are what you are supposed to do and what you are not supposed to do in order to achieve high search engine rankings. It is also important to know that link building includes both on page and off page linking.

Thanks!!

[nancy5]

Quality link building must be relevant sites with your site.

[bardmirna]

Nice points. I would like to add that we should that a lot of backlinks will not happen overtime, rather, it is a series of normal backlinks per day. Too fast is not good in linkbuilding.
