Hi Reid,
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts! Great idea! Although, I have talked about most of these link building items in details in separate posts over the years on this blog

Thanks!
Nick

Hey Nick, Nice laundry list! This list could turn into a 15 part series- taking each item to a deeper (cleaner perhaps?) level. For example, the first on the list- Press Releases- could have a great description of a sample plan for writing and submitting a press release…

That would be bad *ss!

Nick, I get your newsletters, but have dismissed them in the past if I’m being honest. BUT, that will change. This is a great article and I appreciate reading the comments. I know I have been guilty of setting up profiles in the past and not getting the most of those opportunities. Thanks for great article!

Hi Kyle,
So very true, many companies do often just start setting up profiles, etc without a clear strategy or planned out direction. Also, it makes sense creating profiles and using them and I agree that it could be overkill for certain types of businesses…

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

Amazing. Link strategy only makes sense if you actually put some thought into how you are going to go about it. Most people just start building links, setting up profiles without thinking about where they are going, how to get there etc.

A couple of caveats: only set up social media profiles if they are going to actually get some use. Wouldn’t surprise me if dead accounts on twitter with you link in the profile count against you. Forums are a similar situation, you must participate.

We do SEO for a lot of small-business type clients (plumbers, contractors, restaurants, caterers etc.) and some clients with more competitive search terms. For the lower order much of social media is overkill that I wouldn’t recommend.

Hi Warren,
Thanks for reading and for sharing your thoughts! Agreed, Facebook and Twitter are essential parts of a long term link building strategy (they would be under the social networking category above).

This is a great article Nick – all 15 points are essential to a successful strategy.

I’ve noticed that PR and article submissions provide the most instant results in the SERPS, but i have to say i’m still not convinced by social media. Everyone seems to be so single-minded – there really isnt a community ‘spirit’ that is crucial to directing traffic to a specific website.

But of course with Twitter and Fascebook having such high page ranks, they really can’t be ignored.
