Link building can be laborious AND time consuming, but you're right - all the will in the world to write great content is going to be valuable only when combined with a solid and progressively expanding set of relevant incoming links. I think it's perhaps useful to add that finding shortcuts to followed PR8/9 sites through loopholes or other sillyness is short lived and no replacement for building genuine relationships with other site owners and engaging in conversation with other bloggers. That takes time, patience and plain goodwill! Pretty insightful article, thanks.

Research the competition and see if they boasts common links that you could also get... this is often one of the easiest ways to find out about links opportunities: observing the link profile of your competitors.

Those tools are essential to any link builder. And if you choose to outsource your link building, make sure you work with a company that displays their address on their website and actually answers the phone when you call.

Many times I come across clients who have tried to implement a link building campaign and they have no idea who they contacted or when for creating a link to their website. By just using a simple spreadsheet listing the website, the link text they recommended, the date the request was submitted, and the date the link was noticed as live helps tremendously and saves a lot of headaches.

I'm still trying to figure out how to initiate an effective link building campaign that is realistic in time-scale whilst still developing my business in more traditional means & its a bitch! I'm definitely going to look into Advanced Link Builder. Hopefully its like picking at a roll off tape - once you start your off!

You have to be a Pro member to gain access to it, but it can be very worth it. SEOmoz Linkscape is also a tool that I use often for link research.

Generally I type in my top 3-5 keywords in Google, Yahoo and MSN. I harvest the URL’s from the top 10 sites, and then place them into Excel. While I remove duplicates, I place these sites with multiple listings at the top. Using these sites can help you uncover link trends and prioritize your link building strategy.
