What are the new ways of Link Building which will get quality links?
-
Hi
We are doing following kinds of Link Building:
1. Article marketing
2. Directory Submission
3. Guest Blogging
4. Press Release submission
5. Infographics (Viral Marketing)
I know blog commenting and links from discussion forums are considered as greyhat / blackhat by google.
So I want suggestions on some other ethical(Whitehat SEO) ways of Link Building to get quality Links.
Also suggest me some Free article submission sites which give " dofollow-links"
Thank You

What you're doing is great if you have the content to back it up, especially if you're in a niche market. Make sure your infographics are of the highest quality possible. There are so many infographics out there that you really need to make yours stand out to have it picked up.
You should also be doing some link baiting for all of these articles and press releases you're doing. Writing a random article or press release just to get you a link can only help you so much. If the article or press release is getting tons of views and comments from different IP addresses, you'll find yourself in a good spot.

AWCthreads makes a huge point. The best SEO resource I have found the customer, or page viewer. If they are truly helped by the content you offer they will eventually do the best link building you can hope for. Generalzod also brings up a good point, if you have great content that is just sitting there because nobody can find it.. then what good is it really doing?
If you don''t have good regular traffic that may stumble upon the new fresh content then you'll have to go where your demographic is.
I will give an example: About 4 years ago I was working in the gaming industry as a software seller . A new game was coming out, I talked with my distributor, and got in on Beta testing. From there I joined the game's official forums. I soon found most people were using a fansite to talk about the game, so I joined the fansite. I played the game sporadically enough to engage in general conversation. Eventually, after being a somewhat established member (about 2 weeks of posting) I decided to let the people know I worked for a company that would be selling the software and could get anybody who wanted it a discount. That caught the attention of the owner of the fansite who in turn posted my sites banner on his page for free. That little work turned into 100's of sales and tons of links on all sorts of similar type forums and blogs.

Digg is a great medium. I would also suggest writing a great piece of content, and using that as an ice breaker for requesting guest posts.
Like:
Look what I can do! Let me do it for your site!

I'm with you on that! Great content and well presented content will give you links.
In fact it is as simple as that, as long as you have the best content, product, presentation or navigation. Look at your competition and make sure that your site, content, product is 10% better than theirs.

Chicken and egg. Writing great content is a good idea...but if nobody can find it, nobody will link to it?
I'd expand on the above idea and suggest writing a great article then perhaps push it out through Digg so that people will see it and likely talk about/links to it. Works for me anyway.
Good luck!

How about creating some content that is unique, informative, relevant, timely and worthy of linking to.

Link building - unique root domains
Hi there, I was wondering when asking for a link, does where on this page it is? For example will someone's high traffic website (e.g. example.com ) provide more page authority than another link on this site ( e.g. example.com/blog ). If this is the case, is it best to get links from multiple pages if possible or will this not effect SEO? Thanks

Best Methods - Link Building
We are having more and more "new" customers coming to us who have been hit by various algorithms imposed by google. After we have run a site health check and corrected everything, we plan and come up with a link development plan which suits the clients needs. Much of out link development work is safe comprising of; 1. Guest Blog Posts - where we develop creative content with the customer to publish. 2. Industry blog posts - where bloggers write about i.e. "the company" 3. Social media - posting pictures, commenting on forums, etc 4. Paid directories with authority We don't develop links in any other way and it brings results in the long term. Is anyone out there doing something else? Link building can sometimes be like walking on a tight rope. Thanks and happy holidays Gary - Elite Group Marketing London

Local Link Building help!
Hi All, Looking for some help with where to begin link building for local small businesses. If the website is leading to a lawyer, doctor, or any type of professional service, I'm at a loss on where to start. I've tried looking into local directories, and I also know that if one of the clients has a reason for being linked in an online news article, those links should be pursued. Additionally, I've gone and helped to claim all local listings, and submitted to DMOZ and a few other directories. So if the website is just leading to a business that isn't running any events or specials worth writing about, what is the best way to acquire links? Thank you! Tyler

Building a link building team
I just joined SEOmoz and I have enjoyed all the information. I currently outsource link building to an agency that charges $50 per link. For this, they handle the anchor text creation, the surrounding text and solicitation, acquisition and monitoring. I know they send the actual work to their independent contractors. How do you find those independent contractors so that I can build my own network of contractors and save the client money?

New links for Internal Anchor Text
If pages get moved and 301s are in place is it still important to update the anchor text links to the new page url? For example would it be optimal to go through old blog posts and change the urls for the anchor text if the old anchor text url redirects to the new page url.
