 Top 3 Link Building Methods
For Maximum ROI

(ROI is return on investment)
I dare to say that if you discover how to get backlinks, it's better than trying hard to know everything about SEO... just to show how good getting backlinks is, they're like the fuel that pushes the rocket upwards. In your case they're the fuel that pushes your rankings upwards.

But there are many little 'bits and pieces' you need to take care of when it comes to getting backlinks. Nothing really special, but they are important for specific reasons.

The time and money you spend getting backlinks should be managed, so you spend it on good backlink generation methods that give you fast and great return on your investment (ROI). This is especially good because of the fact that most people nowadays are busy.

You don't want to do all link building methods that you can think of. No! You want to do the most effective link building methods, and so if you spend time on getting links manually by contacting bloggers to exchange articles with you - something few do, and you feel exhausted because no one replies, then of course you need to stop and use a better method.

So here they are...

The top three link building methods for quality backlinks and quantity (if used the right way) for me at least, have been:

 Link exchanges, the best method to get quantity of links - I mean a lot.

Forum posting, another great method to get a lot of links and even quality if you post on forums in your niche. (forums are full of content, that's why you get quality links).

Article submission, a great method to get quality links.

Again there are specific strategies to do these what I consider top three (in my opinion and experience) effectively.

Now you need only those three methods? Yes and No. Yes, if you have limited time and money. No, if you have all the time available to use other methods, or money to pay others to do the other methods as well.

Most often, your time and money is limited, you don't want to invest a lot in SEO, which is just a traffic stream, it's nothing more than another stream of traffic (which you should not rely on it alone for traffic in the long term). Then you want to expand and utilize other traffic building methods. Suggested is also the fact that focusing until you "get it" right in SEO is better than using like 3 different traffic building methods all at once.

The big point is to invest your time and money on the link building methods that will provide the best ROI.

It's always good to use ALL link building methods that exist... but it's like mission impossible.
So apart from those Top Three methods, you can if you afford, invest money or time and use other methods as well. Am I saying don't do directory submission? Yes, if you don't have time - if your time is limited just focus on those three methods, you see rankings improve faster and make some money faster.

To push your site rankings upwards for lots of keywords and make it a BOMB like I call it, you should then use all link building methods including the paid once, that includes submitting to top paid directories, etc. But for most, that's only after you see some profit, and it should be that way.

So the picture here is for you to know how to use your time and money for the Maximum return on your investment. This is also the best way to get rankings quickly and fast.

What else can you do to use the top three link building methods more effectively?

First of all using software such as http://www.outranksmart.com to make link exchanges lightning speed and easy. Use services like article marketer, or software to submit to article directories not just submitting manually to top 10 or less directories. That's not going to help a lot if any.

For forum posting, you can hire someone to do it, but it can be quite expensive since it's not a one time fee, it can be a weekly fee or depends whom you find.

Hiring someone from India or Romania sometimes they tend to charge the least.

The of course other important thing is know the right theories like the duplicate content theory from the right folks. I mean some people don't submit to as many article directories as they can, because of fear of this theory. Or they spend countless time spinning articles, etc. You need to learn therefore and stay a bit up to date, with things like that.

Those by the way are all things you can avoid doing, I never spin articles, or that kind of thing.

The other thing is the most important of all, which is proper keyword research. Whatever new tactic you discover in SEO, keyword research is always important.

It's really a do or die thing, so you should discover how to do it properly. You need always to know which keywords you want to rank for, for various reasons, one being for proper usage of anchor text in backlinks.

You have the pieces of the puzzle here, just put them together and you get high rankings for your chosen keywords.
