Long term linkbuilding strategies that will work after any google update Dear readers, we know that google has hit Seos and IMers with a lot of updates lately. This is due to the fact that many websites filled the top 10 rankings with webpages that have no value to the searcher. This has changed totally since the massive updates google spitted out lately. Many website owners complained about getting hit because of these updates. Most of the webmasters who got hit relied on this income. If you are searching online for a strategy that you know it will only work for a couple a month you are doing something wrong. You need to focus on long-term. Short term linkbuilding strategies are mostly spammy, avoid spammy backlinks. It can work for weeks or even months but you will definately get your fingers burned soon. Don’t use automated software that can generate thousands of backlinks in minutes. Yes, creating backlinks that work is more difficult then before, but patience is of the essence here.
The following strategies will harm your rankings, so avoid these. 1.
Inbound links from linkfarms, public or private blog networks or spammy sites. Many thought they could cheat the serps but then google came out with another update and deindexed all the backlinks that came from the mentioned networks. With this deindexation came a hit in ranking too.
2.
Too much exact-match anchor text: don’t use your main keyword each time as anchor text but diversify it with long tail keywords, naked urls and words like “click here”. This will look more natural.
3.
Blog spam: There are many automated software on the internet that can put thousands of spammy comments on blog sites.(if the owner accepts the comment). This will bring you only harm, so avoid this kind of tactic.
4.
Keyword stuffing: Don’t put your keyword in every sentence to think you will rank well. Google knows of this strategy and will hurt your rankings if you don’t change your article as if it’s written for a reader. Try to write as natural as possible, this will give value to the reader. If you distract the reader with too many keywords in an article the reader will go to another site in seconds.

Bad article marketing: Write each article manually and submit each of them to sites such as ezinearticles,goarticles, squidoo and many more.
