These are indeed safe link building plan that can guarantee easy ranking and safety from Google’s hammer. Guest post seems to the favorite for me on the list followed by blog commenting and forum posting. One can actually build quality backlinks from such practices and the effect could be so massive you will appreciate off-page SEO even more. Thanks for sharing such an awesome post.
I’m not active on forums. Pinterest gives dofollow attribute to it’s links. So it’s better to use Pinterest. Still guest blogging is the most preferred and ethical way to build backlinks.
Thanks for sharing the useful posts with us Srikanth 😀
Hi Srikanth,
All of your suggestions are good. Guest posting, commenting and document sharing sites are the best methods to build links. I don’t know how effective it still is about Forums. It has been quite long I’m participating in forums. Are the links from forum still counted fro ranking?
Nice article Srikanth,
For link building I normally prefer going with Guest blogging and Blog commenting as they guarantee that your links will stay there for a very long time or may be forever. However forum links are also quite strong. I have some backlinks from WarriorForum and they gave great results.
I haven’t given a shot to other methods as I am happy with Guest blogging and commenting.
Cheers 🙂
These were really nice tips. I was looking for such resources and I believe that your blog is gonna help me a lot in future. Thanks a lot for sharing this useful article.
Hello Srikanth, Its a very nice article with lots of knowledge.Between i want to know if i create a backlink from a website whose alexa rank is more than me than it effect my website optimisationi in a negative way or not ?
Thanxx for sharing this wonderfull aticle.
Hi Srikanth,
Forums and guest blogging has helped me to gain some high quality links as well as traffic to my own blog. Blog commenting is something which I do for networking with other bloggers and not for building backlinks. Though I am happy that it adds to the link juice as well. Thanks.
