HI, This article was written by one of our NextGenLinks.comĀ clients and he asked me to post it here on our blog
Here’s the article, Enjoy:

Ever thought how can you get quality back-links for free without having to do a lot of hard work?
So what are quality back-links?
Let’s first decide what exactly are quality back-links so that we will look for certain ways to get them and leave other ways of getting back-links alone. What I have learned in a few years of link building for my sites and blogs is: “Quality back-links are those, which come from a page having same keywords as yours. The page you are getting your links from should never look like being spammed and must be search engine friendly. Make sure it is not included in the robots.txt and is crawled by search engine bots or crawlers on regular basis.”
As now we know what quality back-links are, so lets head towards our main goal which is to get these quality back-links easily and without having to spend a single penny.
1) Ask for them
You must know what sites have similar keywords as your sites, in other words your competitors. In case you don’t know about all of your major competitors, search for them using a search engine. Once you have a list of all of them. Select a few of them to get back-links from. This selection should be done on the basis of quality of their site, incoming links towards their site, PR, traffic and how often they appear in SERPS. Once you have done this, don’t go on and ask them for a link. Do it the other way around. Link to their site from yours. Make sure the page you have put their link on has some good traffic. Let them notice the traffic they are getting from your site. After a week or two, email them for link exchange. I am sure the other webmaster will think at least twice before turning down your request.
2) Establish Related Sites and Blogs
This certainly is the best way to get them in my opinion. Make sure the blogs/sites you create have similar keywords as your main site. The other benefit of doing this is that, once those sites start picking up traffic you can monetize them by placing ads or selling something. As, in this article I am emphasizing on getting back-links for free, so I will recommend creating a free blog on blogger.com rather than setting up a website.
3) Submit to Link Directories
Link directories are easiest way of getting back-links in my opinion. Make sure the directories you select to submit your site are high quality ones. Don’t forget to select a proper category for your site as choosing a proper category will ensure that the back-link is from a related keyword. For instance, if your site is astronomy related, choosing an astronomy category will be the best thing to do.
Make sure you can find some FREE directories. Here is a list of free and quality link directories: http://linkdirs.blogspot.com/2009/04/list-of-free-link-directories.html
4) Article Marketing
I am new to this so can’t really talk about it in depth, but I know people who have gained huge success doing article marketing in terms of back-links and traffic both. All you have to do is write a good informative article and submit it to article directories like EzineArticles.com. In the resource box of the article you place url to your site and thus get back-link and traffic and whenever someone uses your article on their blog/site a new back-link points towards your site. So these were some ways of getting free, easy and quality back-links. All you have to do is spend some time and results are unbelievably good. Try for yourself.
5) And of course, my favorite, Automated Links by NextGenLinks.com!

I just received a copy of my friend Jack Duncan’s “Definitive Guide For Finding High Pagerank Forum Backlinks” and it’s a great read.
It’s a short pdf document, only 35 pages long, and inside is some really great information on how to go about getting a ton of high quality backlinks to your site.
The best part though, is the tools that Jack talks about. I can’t tell you what they are here, I promised not to tell his secret, but he did give me a special link to share with you guys that’ll get you the report and access to all of the tools for only $9
The system focuses on getting links from high traffic forums, but it’s not the same old way we’re used to doing it. If you know Jack Duncan, you know he’s way ahead of the curve when it comes to linking strategies.
There’s also a special forum finding tool that you need a password to use that’s included for free on page 18 of the guide. It’s what makes this strategy so easy to implement, and yes, all the tools are free!
I highly recommend you grab this guide now and start using it to get some really high quality backlinks to your site today. It’s a super easy yet super powerful method.
Here’s the link I promised you:

Everyone wants to have the time to build their link portfolio, but running an online business can be very time consuming. Hopping from website to website creating content and relevant anchor text links back to your main page and deep pages of the business website can take hours, days, weeks and even months to net some positive gains.
Link building is about more than just traffic building, it is about gaining ranking on the search engine results so that traffic is organic and sustainable. Outsourcing your link building tasks is becoming very popular but there are a few rules to the game that will keep the business fair, professional and successful.
#1 Long term relationships are good. When establishing a relationship with outsourcers for link building, a long term relationship is best. Building links is a slow process that takes time. This means gathering some great freelancers or an outsourcing company and sticking with them for the long term. Long term relationships also means a common goal and familiarity with the project over time.
#2 Personal relationships are good too! Getting to know a bit more about your outsourcing company, the workers or the owners can prove very beneficial. Talking with the freelancers or outsourcing company on a more personal level will bring them into the circle of friendship that will bond them to the project. The more personally responsible they feel for the businesses growth, the more they will give to your efforts.
#3 Know where the outsourcing company is located. Not every company hired to build backlinks will be located in the United States. This means different holidays and different times of work. Learn these and respect the fact that your 9 to 5 may not be their 9 to 5. On the other hand, link automation software companies will work 24 hours a day to build link to your website pages.
#4 Be clear with what you expect. When you outsource, you have to assume the link builders know nothing about your business. Be clear about your expectations including the Must Dos and the Never Dos. The project guidelines need to be provided in an easily accessible format, possibly a deep page on your website that is not set for bots to crawl. A blog could also be a great place to publish the scope of the project.
#5 Negotiations are always good. Negotiating a price for the link building service may take the most time. You want to get the most for your money, but you also need to be fair to the link builder. There are very low cost services, medium cost services and expensive services. The budget you have set for marketing needs to be long term as link building is not an overnight process. Spending all of the budget on one service that does not build sufficient links is a waste of time and money. Again, link automation is a great way to build links to EVERY page of your website for one, fixed rate.
There is NEVER enough time to work with the promotional side of an online business. Yet, this is one of the most important (if not THE most important) part of a business’s success. Link building is perfect for freelancers, link automation software and outsourced companies. The money spent on building great quality links, over time, will come back many fold in sales and profits in the future when page rank soars and traffic continues building.

Many website owners are confused about how to build deep links and how often these links should be added to the Internet. SEO as a whole is a detailed process with many website owners sticking with the most obvious SEO tactics like keyword usage because they simply do not understand the rest. Building internal links is much more important than the links to the main URL of a website, did you know that?
SEO experts agree that internal links, or deep links, play a very important role in the search engine popularity of a website. Think of the internal pages of a websites as the back roads in a city. The cars drive through the main streets very frequently, but that does not mean traffic does not flow to the smaller side roads as well. Internal links provide these “cars” with a new place to visit and love. The same goes for link popularity. The deep pages of a website need to gain backlinks in order to feel a bit of that traffic flow.
SEO Link Building for Trusted Websites
Websites with trusted rankings on the search engines often feel as though they have no need for internal linking, but that is not the case. However, building internal links for trusted websites may be harder than for newbie websites. Being trusted means holding a bit of Internet clout and that clout cannot be thrown around to any and every website on the Internet. Deep links for the trusted website should be scattered lightly to boost that trust.
Established websites may also benefit from navigation structural changes and simplifying the movement through their website. No user should ever get lost in a website without a clear path back to their starting destination. It is also important that all of the website content be accessible with as few clicks as possible. If the reader cannot find your information, they are not going to stick around forever.
The Outbound Link and SEO Link Building
Another misunderstanding between the SEO creators and the website owner is in the value of the outbound link. The search engine bots do not want websites that are full of themselves. What they want are websites that offer great information and links to other sources of complimentary information. There are three main rules to linking out to other websites, always use anchor text that is relevant to your site and theirs, link to content that is similar to your own and choose anchor text words that mirror your website keywords.
Some website owners worry about passing their website popularity through the links. This is often termed Do Follow. The Do Follow attribute has been a confusing trait, but one that can be easily explained. Do Follow means one website is vouching for another. No Follow is the opposite. When link building, it is important to establish only Do Follow links. Why would a search engine give props to a website for linking out to another website they do not trust.

With talks about Twitter updates being indexed by Google, a question recently came to mind.
Many Twitter users update to Twitter and other social networking websites with the same information duplicated. For instance, Twitter and FaceBook can be linked so when a post is published on one it will be duplicated on the other.
Even though there have been debates about duplicate content and search engine ranking, many marketers choose not to duplicate content for fear of the invisible red flag from Google. But, what about duplicate social networking posts?
Personal Versus Professional
Now, the casual social networking user will probably have nothing to worry about. The update about Cindy finally getting her braces off will not include links to a website or business, in most cases. However, the Internet marketer and website business often include links in their posts to website main pages, inner pages and articles used to market a business. If these posts are duplicated, exactly, will the search engine see them as SPAM?
The trouble with social networking is connectivity. This social network is connected to that social site and that social site is connected to another social network and on and on…
There was once a time when being a member of a social network meant being social, but those times have been replaced with mass updates, link posting and hourly pushes to read this and click here.
There are literally hundreds of social networks out there and if all of them eventually have their posts indexed by major search engines, how will the bots differentiate between the SPAMMERS and the businesses just trying to increase popularity the right way? It could all weigh on duplication.
Retro Indexing or Future Indexing
Another huge question about the indexing of social networking posts is when the indexing will start. If the indexing is retro fitted and all past updates are indexed, it could mean a HUGE shift in the top 10 rank listing for popular keywords.
Just imagine 10,000 or 20,000 posts being indexed from various social networks all containing back links to inner pages of a website. That could be enough to blow up servers with an over abundance of traffic hitting the website.
The Place for Social Networks in the Search Engine Results
Despite the troubles that could result from search engines indexing social network posts, there is a very real need for this integration to occur. When a fierce battle for the top 10 page is being constantly fought, website owners and Internet marketers use every tactic they can to increase traffic.
For the website that has chosen to integrate social networking, that upper hand could fall in their corner. Social networking with links is link building – the search engines just have to catch up.
So, whether or not the duplicate content will count against social networking businesses or not will probably be an issue hidden in the new algorithm for the most popular engines. Until the Tweets, bulletins and updates are indexed, we will just have to continue being social.
