What are some Boilerplate Link-Building Activities for a new site?
-
Assuming you have built a new sophisticated site that involves
- high user engagement as in bounce rate < 30%
- sophisticated genuine content (pages > 2000 chars)
- best possible site speed
what are some of the boilerplate link building activities you would execute under which considerations?
Activities: I am thinking of things along the lines of
- building X social media links using a fiverr
- submission to curated link directories
- reach out for high quality links with thought leaders
- etc
Considerations: I am thinking of things along the lines of
- keep a constant link gain velocity over the first 3 months
- make sure you place links across pages not just the root domain
- make sure you have a mix of follow and no-follow links and a natural anchor text distribution
In short I am hoping we can crowdsource a linkbuilding starting guide in the SEO world of 2015.

Hi there,
I'd agree with the comments from Richard and Jim below, the types of techniques you mention are not really the ones that I'd endorse when you're trying to build a business online. Social media links using Fiverr and link directories aren't as effective as they used to be and can cause link problems if you use them now.
Instead, I'd recommend trying to make your website link worthy and using your business USPs to try and generate links. Here are some good guides to help you with this:
- http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-link-building
- http://moz.com/blog/10-illustrations-on-search-engines-valuation-of-links
- http://moz.com/blog/link-building-101-the-almost-complete-link-guide-updated-for-post-penguin
- http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies
These guides and tactics focus on more sustainable methods of link building which should help you in the long term,
I hope that helps!

I read various new upcoming strategies for the 2015 link building as i understand Good links its possible through trusted domains , and the domain authority , citation value and page rank should be higher .
The secret is out. Here are the seven killer link-building strategies
- Start guest blogging. Make sure you pick a popular blogs that many peoples use and that have good authority and similar to yours topic .
2) Create a Twitter account , you can post your links on through tweet but make sure you would have to gain some follower first which can be tricky .
- Set up Google alerts , if you have a company that you are proud of, then you can user the alert when someone use your name then Google will alert you then you can ask for a link on those post .
4) Write video transcripts. These can take forever , If you have a popular video on youtube then you can transcript and offer it free to the person who made it and ask them to give a back link within that.
- Make an infographic , these are quite difficult for those who never familiar well with this but other hand you can then put in your backlink and post it to a website such as Reddit.
6) Find out where your images are being used. you can do this through Google image search it's time consuming you can email and ask them to refer to your website link .
7) Write something amazing. As online magazines might want to write about your site you can ask them to simply include one links .

Yeah...what I see above could ONLY be looked at as link manipulations...
Don't know how else to phrase what I mean - but it appears that you're trying to gain traffic by using all the WRONG tactics....when I see clients that use content markers as " > 2000 chars" & "fiverr" & "boilerplate" -- they're all telltales of trying to get real live stable rankings using 2004 tactics....sigh....
YMMV...but in my world those items you've listed show a basic fault in your whole SEO strategy, eh!

It sounds like you are looking for a link manipulation guide. Don't buy social media links on fiverr. You also should not worry about link velocity if the links are natural.
More information on the business would help, but in general go ahead and claim profiles on social media and web 2.0 sites as this will help establish your brand. If you have a physical address, make sure you get your Google+ business profile and submit to the major data aggregators and other NAP sites. Look at the backlink profiles of your competitors or do a bit of searching to find sites in your niche where you can acquire links. Submit a press release about the launch, maybe do a few interviews if the site is something people would be interested in.

Link building
Hello all ! I would love some opinions about one Link Building technical aspect from SEOs, link builders ... How important is the number of outgoing links on the page you have the opportunity to place a link ? (from a scale of 1-10 / what about where dose this factor fits overall with your check list , as important to consider as far as link building) Would you place a link on a page with 200+ outgoing external links if the page is ok (not involved in selling links, all links are related with the subject, target page, anchor text etc) or you would go with a link on a 10-15 links per page but not that 'powerful' and not that related (not spammy but more general on the subject that can contain links to some other non related resources). Eg: Option 1: www.whatever-name.com/links.html the entire domain is about x. It has 250 links in that page (in the links.html) all links on the links.html pages are somehow related / resources with x. Your link can be placed with an anchor text related with x that will target a page on your site related with x. Domain page rank : 6 (as a general indicator), Page PR, the links.html one, PR: 2 Option 2: www.some-other-name.com/x-is-so-great the entire domain is NOT about x, just the page. It has 5..10 links in that page (external links more or less related with x - but not spammy) Your link can be placed with an anchor text related with x that will target a page on your site related with x. Domain page rank : 3 (as a general indicator), Page PR, the links.html one, PR: 1 What's your best option ? Thanks !

Link building
I have two separate websites on different servers and was wondering that since reciprocal links effectively eliminate each other, I'm curious if this link strategy will keep the links counting. Here's the strategy: I will have someone link to my site A and if i link to their site from my site B in a three way link strategy, will the links count even though both my site A and B have me listed as the Whois so Google knows that both sites are owned by me? Or will the links be discounted as reciprocal? Thanks in advance for your feedback! Take care, Ron

Hi If you plan to add new links to a site which currently has very few inbound links what is the maximum amount you could add in any one day before it is deemed by Google to be suspicious and unatural. I am referring ot manually added links, not robotic. Thank you 🙂

Good link building companies
I'm wondering if anyone has had good experiences with any of the link building companies out there. I'm really looking to hear about those companies who go beyond the mundane forum links, blog commenting, bulk directory submission, article directories etc. It's all been done to death. I've used webuildpages.com, they are pricey, but are good at getting high quailty links.
