[gissle]

I need some quality backlinks. I know my site needs improving, but that is in progress. What I need to do in the mean-time is establish some quality backlinks.

How do you go about getting .edu and .org backlinks?

Quality links dont grow on trees, especially govs and edus.

You need to create good quality backlinks with sites that are the most relevant to yours. Maybe broaden your specification as you are new, just targeting edu. and org. websites take a bit more time, your website would have to be of good standard to link with them so maybe start off small.

Right now i am creating a blog to help support my companies website with backlinks and more traffic.
Do you not have any other sites or social media platforms you could link it with?

All the best.

Pay for them.

Find someone to do your link building and set aside £1000/month for marketing. That's not a joke, it's the sort of money you are going to need to spend to get a sniff at ranking alongside all the other DIY sites.

Or...

Find a niche in the market and you won't need to do any link building

Let me tell you how i got loads of quality links for my wifes website.
She run parenting website so what we have done we prepared few good quality articles about parenting, babies, etc. ant then started contacting other (good quality) websites which might want to publish them. Now we sending articles to many of them on monthly basis. And we have not only good quality backlinks to our website but many real visitors from those links. So that's one of the options.

Backlinks take time and effort to get. I spend most of my time writing quality articles for sites like eZine and Articlesbase. I also use Squidoo and Hubpages. In terms of getting .edu or .org links you will need to have a great quality website. This article gives 8 different ways to generate backlinks.
Best of luck.

yes its a real pain to make quality links especially if you have many websites to manage - pay for them and get penalised...

Hi again Fisicx,

Well I certainly don't have that sort of money to spend.

I guess I am going to have to find a niche market then.

I take it that you think that there is atleast some potential in the site, and not a complete waste of time?

I was thinking perhaps of a niche like property development. This will tend to be smaller firms or individuals who will want bargains. They will need a lot of the stuff on the site, and are likely to buy fairly large amounts of material, but at least it isn't like competing for large contractor.

I know the site has many issues which need resolving, I've been on to the web developer today.

Anyway let me know what you think.

Thanks for your advise.

Yes there is value in the site, people do look for bargains but a bag of screws isn't one of them.

What sort of DIY products do people buy online? I wouldn't buy power tools, fasteners, paint, plasterboard, laminate flooring and so on without looking at the product first. If I'm in B&Q playing with an electric screwdriver I'm not going to drive back home and use your site to find out Wickes are £1 cheaper and then spend another £2 on petrol driving back to buy it.

So review your product range and maybe just list hand tools. Show the range of pozidrive screwdrivers and where to get the best price on on each of the major manufacturers. Show that a set of drivers can work out cheaper than individuals or relate it to a set of pozidrive bits and so on. Provide a real service to people and they will use it.

then slap some affiliate links on it when you've shown who is cheaper so the user can click through to buy it and you take a commission.

(this is probably your thinking already but I havent read most of the above, sorry)

Even doing PPC, you'll get so many just checking out your site and not buying anything, I mean 70% of traffic will click away this happens to ALL websites.

Direct links is a better way and cheaper too, from a per click point of view. Eg: a single link @ £100 - £300 on a site that gets 5000 monthly visitors IS a better deal -- even more so if the site's targeted towards your customers. Nothing beats paid links for conversion, I'm not putting down the freebies (I like them myself) - just that direct marketing gets your name out there faster, results will be faster etc.

Affiliates fall on return visitors and a lot of other things. Hence why affiliates are turning to their own developed products.

Affiliate marketing is a dog eat dog business and I guess you don't do it.

Here are the tips to get High Quality Backlinks:
1. See where your competitors get their links from.
2. Manual search for .edu, .gov and dofollow sites.
3. Pagerank of the homepage should be at least 3, if not, just skip it!
4. See if the blog allows dofollow links on their comment section and you have to make sure that they do if you find some. If not, just skip it!
5. If they are not allowing dofollow links on comments try guest blog posting, you will get quality backlinks.

1. See where your competitors get their links from.

Pretty good tip, but once that list runs out, you'll still end up with little quality value.

2. Manual search for .edu, .gov and dofollow sites.

Okay, but its not easy though and takes money and a great idea to pull this off and attain a .gov link. Getting .edu links is another skill entirely and I think
its incredibly tough to achieve.

3. Pagerank of the homepage should be at least 3, if not, just skip it!

hmmm, not sure anyone can afford to be that picky......

4. See if the blog allows dofollow links on their comment section and you have to make sure that they do if you find some. If not, just skip it!

5. If they are not allowing dofollow links on comments try guest blog posting, you will get quality backlinks.

Doesnt guarantee a thing. Let me tell you what your dealing with - Protective, defensive blog owners with blog comment blocking software.

You can delete hundreds of comments in minutes! The end of blog spamming is very close.

Pagerank is 'yesterday'. Links to quality, RELEVANT, sites is where it's at.

Being number 1 in Google is meaningless if nobody is coming to your site and giving you business. That's 'cocktail party SEO'. Bragging rights don't contribute to your bank balance.

Take a look at ahrefs.com to analyze your backlinks.

Look for blogs with do follow links at dofollow diver or followlist.com and contact the webmasters with a view to guest blogging for them. Everyone needs content.

Ensure that the blogs are relevant. Blogging on a gunsmith's site, if you manufacture teddy bears does nobody any good.

Good luck!

 

[redalien]

Dont get too hung up on .edu or .org links. Good ones are very hard to get an the easy ones from sites like fiverr are just spammy and nofollow links. Concentrate or producing good content on your site and if doing this yourself with minimal budget writing unique content articles and publish in various article sites with your keywords. Make sure you do your keyword research first, theres lots of places to do this for free and check out your competition.

Good luck.

Relevancy keeps the right visitors coming to you. I always like to view websites as 'resources' eg: pure, relevant information platforms that entice people to view the pages.

In order to obtain quality backlinks I would suggest to submit your site in related niches by using different kinds of link building. I think quality backlinks came from manually submission.

 

[chrismartin4u]

i think you should hire a SEO expert for your site. A SEO expert can build quality links much better.
