Link building is 90% of the battle when succeeding in the search engines and properly succeeding at search engine optimization. In this article, we are going to break down some innovative techniques that other top SEO’s use to find and obtain quality links to their website. Let’s get right down to it!
A: Use Google Alerts – You can use Google Alerts to find certain phrases that are highly relevant to your website. For example, if you are a company that offers solar panels, you can set up Google alerts to tell you whenever their are websites listing companies that offer solar panels.
For example, you could create an alert for phrases like “Solar panel companies”; “solar panel providers”; “solar panels”; “solar providers”; “solar links”, etc. This will allow you to see what people are talking about in your industry and request links or to contribute information to active and relevant websites.
B: Find Top Commentators or Top Commentator widgets on relevant websites… Start reading the blog and make a daily post. As long as the widget isn’t a “NoFollow” widget, you can get some great links from the home page of the blog. Not bad, not bad at all!
C: Get links that produce traffic. Surprisingly, websites that produce traffic often times are trusted a lot more by the search engines as well, so chances are the link will be higher in quality.
D: If your industry is a popular industry that has a lot of organizations involved that talk about or support your industry, you can always find websites looking for sponsors. Often times popular organizations link value can be incredibly high and trusted.
E: If you are an ethical company, get involved in the Better Business Bureau and they will actually provide a link to your website – and this will likely increase sales as well since you will be seen as a reliable company.
F: You can offer to guest post quality information on relevant and popular blogs in exchange for a link back to your website. These links often times carry a large amount of weight and value.
G: Get involved in popular and relevant forums and always place a link in your signature to your website.
H: Look at the links pointing to your competition’s website. For example, use Yahoo and search for inlinks:www.website.com

For example, if you are a dentist in Phoenix Arizona, search Google for terms like Phoenix Dentists, List of Phoenix Dentists, Phoenix Oral Surgeons, etc. You can also repeat the search for surrounding cities and you will find some websites that are authoritative directories.
Be creative, there are hundreds of ways to get quality links and they are often times easier than you think. You don’t need thousands of links to succeed. Work on getting one quality link per day and you will be beating your competition in no time.
