It is advisable to do promote your website on various high traffic and high DA websites which are most relevant to your domain for generating quality backlinks purpose.
That’s just about a wrong as it gets.

Why is the website not very legal? You could write the URL in your comment so it can be looked at. But not very legal? Hmm. As for getting back links, you can enter yourself on a load of directory sites, which I think is time consuming and probably a complete waste of time! You can eventually create your own web-ring as I have done with a number of my own sites operating in niche areas all linked to each other (my first web designer loved web rings and linking to local services - it worked for his hotel business as I suppose it generated a lot of local links so he was more findable for his own local area).

I now post a bit on Quora, Facebook etc which generates a few links on forums - contributing on forums does increase links, but you are not really communicating with buyers, just giving your site a bit of an SEO nudge so it can be found when people who really DO want your service are ready to buy and are looking for your service.

The irony of generating links is that you tend to be creating content that people may not read, or if it is read, they are not your buyers, but the actual process of building up a 'quality link' helps nudge your site so it can be found by someone else who is in the market.

I do find if I have something I need to promote, a specific offer or package, that running an Adwords campaign or facebook promotion or boosted post is effective if the offer is good. I have done this for last minute weddings in Wales and it brings in buyers IF the wedding offer is exceptionally good value, but I find if the offer is not really good, I can get loads of clicks but no viewings/ bookings.

So it is not just about links and clicks, it is about having an excellent offer on the site page you are promoting that gets people actually buying from you. I also found not many competitors were promoting last minute weddings for some reason, so my site tends to do well organically for this search word combination. Facebook followers is also worth generating, with lots of links on your facebook posts. On our dog friendly B&B niche we are getting up to I think 80,000 likes, which is apparently quite good (I do not really do much with Facebook but the younger members of the wedding team are posting all the time and the wedding side is very active in facebook.

Certainly if I want to fill a weekend, a boosted post on facebook and a decent offer will fill an empty hotel pretty fast. Recently I wanted to give Halloween a nudge (we do ghost tours as well) and I put a simple post about Halloween Night ghost tour on our Facebook page for Ghost Hunting and within 7 days the Halloween Night tour sold out. I'd only wanted to give it a nudge and now we're having to offer Halloween tours on the nights before Halloween rather than disappoint people.

If you've got the right following and the right offer, then even if you cannot get the SEO side working, its worth just paying to promote it. Oddly I find when I am on Adwords for certain keywords, it seems to help me organically also - possibly the extra viewings etc just drives the site higher organically too.

Now, let's intercommunicate eight ways that you'll build high-quality backlinks once nobody is aware of your name.
  1. Leverage promotional material.
  2. Write competitive content.
  3. Do a clever study.
  4. Create associate degree infographic.
  5. Write testimonials for alternative websites.
  6. Link outwardly so reach out.
  7. Comment on alternative relevant weblog posts.
  8. Align social signals.

@jackanderson is posting from the Pubjab and is not from Birmingham as he claims. On another forum he frequents he says he is in the USA.

This post of his is typical of the tripe regurgitated from Asian 'SEO' experts and can safely be ignored.

This sounds like something you'd be on the end of after it all kicks off down the pub.

That's really true, most important type of the backlinks considered something like guest blog outreach and then something like simply paid home page links, all will give you contextual most of the time relevant to you backlink and which is paid for sure.

If the links didnt worth 50 pounds each and have to spend for 100 plus links does not seem quite relevant neither cheap....... 5 000 pounds ??! Now who would do that. Most are giving not more than 3-5 links... But they are not enough.. What you will get high traffic from the directory ?! Bull7&^%..... You all know that wont happen.... Yes you will get some boost for the PA, DA, PQ MT but this still does not win you allot higher place in the Google's top pages..... Soooo you have to spend 5 000 pounds per year to renew those links, plus pay for SEO each month and for better result some qrticles in payd websites and again each year to pay even more... PLUS you will need traffic... for start and hmm each month some pounds there too etc..... I think to links being enough for givving result from high quality pages should be atleast 100, then are coming the ''freebies'' links which is also so hard to gain because most of websites dont simply give you that options, those who do are highly spammed..... In that way is someone wants to boost up their website and running a really small business it just not worth the effort.... Just nothing... UK is country with allot of people, allot of websites, e-shops, business etc..... Now in option to have a point, owners of blog network OR directory network with high quality websites should make packages for more links, etc. In my country I do have a small network ( simply not enough for the thinks i need ) and posts and links are free in there. I win from Adsense plus banner or text advertising inside posts or top pages, plus selling links only in the articles that I have made. Pretty much that is enough to me and the time I have spend on them.

Nowadays you can pick up pretty high authority & trust, niche relevant guest posts for something between £300 and £500. For the really high end sites its more like £1000 to £1500.

Having been publishing a couple dozen a month for the past 18-24 months, I'm pretty confident in those numbers.

Sure, you can occasionally find one for less. Then again, you can also find 1,000 for less. What's the difference between the 1 and the 1000? 1 of that 1,001 will be very low risk, having decent trust and plenty of authority, not having a ton of irrelevant posts about bitcoin scams, eliquid, gambling, etc, etc.

If you give it a visit and it looks like a PBN link, how do you think it looks to Google?

Indeed that is true. But to be effective you cant post in high-quality websites only 5 posts per year right ?! That won't boost the desired position in google that much.... if we do only that... I don't see the point of it... I am still talking about the small, not big business that would spend a few more zeros per month for boosting high-quality SEO.
I still don't see the point of that. In most websites with a price range like this are posting really rich business companies, that can effort that plus the advertising money they spend plus many more..... But I don't see the effort for the small business...

A microbusiness without a budget needs education and a DIY approach.

For the rest, who are willing to speculate to accumulate, they can buy rankings via purchased services, content, backlinks, etc.

There's a reason most number one rankings aren't controlled by people without a budget.
Weird I told that is against google rules.....

You can call it whatever you want, sponsorship, guest post (with an admin fee) - if you want to sugar coat it or pretend it's not the way things work, then fine.

But, for the companies controlling the rankings in most every sector and short tail phrase, you're going to spend money to build links. Maybe you spend more on writing time and submitting 'free' content to publisher sites. Maybe you spend a bit less on writing, but more on admin fees that get your content to the top of the queue to be approved. Maybe you donate to a relevant charity and get a thank you link.

There's a lot of techniques that work.

There's also 100 ways you can use 'free' techniques incorrectly and hurt your rankings.

For the quality backlink, you can take the help of guest post blogging. This will drive organic traffic to your website more than SEO process.
Probably not.

Most guest posts are on junk free-for-all sites. The sites that do add value are very selective on who they allow to post.

Some guest post can be valuable but most aren't and you don't have to pay money. Where are you getting all your ideas from?

This still goes to the impossible ranking, because of the prices or fees or whatever You call them.... Like I already wrote in previous comments. Otherways I have to pay for 5 links per month and 1 article.... Which kills the point of doing it... Not all people have the money to BUY links or articles... I also do websites for the USA and another country... The fees are less and it is more affordable to pay and at the same time make your own content and links for free. There is a huge amount of directories in both countries I am optimizing websites for. As a result much faster optimization, much better results than optimizing websites in our country.... For cheap SEO which is affordable for a small business owner, it became useless the SEO because small business owners don't want to pay because they cant in most cases. And that is why I do have fewer and fewer clients each year. My network of websites is small, free websites that are usable, not spammed are also not that many. Especially for startup small business, this is painful and not many are taking the risk. I am just telling the facts. I dont think thisa would change ever, but...

No one is talking about free lunch, but ... I am not buyng a freaking gold.. I mean the prices are just not right..... The same prices are even on the worst blogs I have found with more than 40 % SS from Moz...... I mean.. .Come on.... Its cheaper to pay for article in some big site with thousands of visitors every day......

Interesting discussion, will add my thoughts.

I run a website that offers discounts on Airport Hotels and Airport Parking, it's an affiliate with the UK market leader in that area. Their business model has their own website and telesales and then a few 'me too' websites like me.

I started mine 5 years back, and post initial design and release until this year have done little with it. It is though fully compliant with Google, very White Hat. Another 'me too' website as an affiliate just like me started at the same time. I have very few back links, he has many more pretty much all of which are spam. He bought back links, spammy mass back links. Google caught up with him, but it took a couple of years and he made a ton if cash in the meantime.

Of course things have changed, Google is going to catch you much quicker now than 5 years back, and as such as the thrust of this thread, its about quality not quantity with a website behind that offering good content.

I am about to pay for articles to be written and submitted for me with a campaign that I suspect will need to run for at least 12 months before their are enough links push me from my current 40ish Google search position to the top 10. And whilst this process seems ok with Google as a previous post it all seems rather contrived, paying for articles that very few will read and those that do are not my customers.

Lastly and cheeky I know but if you travel for you businesses and you need parking at Heathrow then drop me a line and I can sort you a discount code.

Are you really sure this is going to work? The links from these articles will be almost worthless so you would need thousands of articles to make a difference - and Google won't like this.

What you need are citations. Other people on the right sort of sites extolling your services. Testimonials, reviews, recommendations and referrals. Show Google you are worthy of decent ranking.

But you need to fix your site first. It's riddled with basic SEO errors and Google only scores you 13/100 on the speed test. Paying for articles until the site is sorted is just pointless.

I've paid out thousands for content in the past, most of which has been a waste of money - mainly because the person writing it is a skilled writer but knows sweet fa about the subject they are writing about.

My writing skills are on a par with my dancing skills (non existent) but content I've written myself has far outperformed the outsourced stuff in terms of getting visitors and links because I only write about subjects I actually know about and where the existing information available is either wrong or highly ambiguous.

I still pay for content but I am realistic in my expectations and use it purely as filler.

Yes aware of the speed issues, have been doing things to fix although clearly not done yet. Re the basic SEO errors any help very gratefully received.

Thanks Darren that is very interesting. My writing skills are also on par with my non existent dancing skills, however am lucky enough to have a newspaper editor in the family and so going forward can get their help with that. The subject matter is travel, am passionate about that with some stories and photos to support.

Any advice on where to submit articles with a realistic expectation of them being published greatly received.

Join UKBF as a full member and get a site review. Site speed ain't gonna get fixed unless you rip out 90% of the caggage. A gazillion plugins and a clunky theme are hampering everything you do.

Publish them on your own site. Putting them anywhere else is a complete waste of time.

Where there is little information or where it exists but isn't very good, offer your expertise in return for a link back. You'll be ignored or refused a lot of the time but sometimes not.

Look for personal sites rather than anything commercial and be prepared to pay. If they already have guest posts and links to 'brand' sites ignore them and move on.

@Darren_Ssc the value of posting these articles will be virtually zero. Google is looking for relevance and authority. If there was an site that looked at ways to save money on airport parking and suggested a good place to start would be Phil's site then the link might have some value. But even then only if the source site was respected and well ranked and had decent traffic.

For your niche it will be pointless. You dont need articles. As one here sayd Cititation. Also direct advertising, banners, google, facebbok will be enough for you.... In your niche articles are boring to read and mostly almost no one is interested of reading such a thing, if they are not articles about a company that have a bad reputation etc... Spamming today is not working... If your relevant web frient start his business today he will end up spending money for the wind and at the end low results and even worse... totall dissapear from Searches

Indeed. There are millions of articles, press releases, guest blogs and other detritus. Google now ignores just about all of it.

Authority, relevance and trust (and similar words) - there are umpteen SEO articles on the topic. It's how Google measures the value of a link. Get the right source site and the link is golden. It's how a PBN works.

For that, you have to go google the result, filter them for high authority and Alexa ranked sites.
No you don't. Google (and most of the world) doesn't care about Alexa rank.
