Natural Linking

[Xenigo123]

I have been reading a lot about SEO lately, especially as it relates to blogs. I have a couple of blogs and they are rapidly becoming my biggest money maker. After reading multiple tutorials I am convinced that Google is starting to penalize sites that just have multiple link exchanges that are primarily used to build up PR and traffic. The best way to get a boost in the search engines is to have other sites naturally link to you. How do you do that? By writing quality content that another sites feels the need to link to and comment on. Also, if you naturally link to another similar site and comment on their content, drop them an e-mail and ask them to reciprocate. Your thoughts?

Xenigo content is the key; my personal site and my biggest site receive natural links. Since I never buy or trade links with any one, after all there is no point trying to game the search engines. Only if people concentrated on creating content and good sites rather than on gaming search engines all the time, we would have a far better internet.

You took the words right out of my mouth. If people took half the energy they devote to tricking Google into developing their content they wouldn't have to worry about their SE placement, and they wouldn't have to worry about getting caught and banned. it does seem that Google is getting smarter in catching this, especially with porn links that used to get front page listings for completely unrelated keywords.

REciprolcal links definately get hit and devaluerd.
If you can get natural links, you are laughing...

Content is on site SEO and links are off site SEo and both are important for web site development

[VIPCondos]

llqi, you are right both are important, but off-page factors make up about 80% IMHO

That is correct - the reason search engines give more 'weight' to offsite stuff is generally because it's harder to 'fake'. Or used to be... ;-)

Yea so my question is commenting on other blogs when you are giving useful information unatural linking. I mean that would make the whole blogging industry worthless.

If you are exchanging links or posting on blogs making sure the sites are on topic for your website and linking to quality sites with plenty of content would probably help overall. It goes without saying your blog or site should have lots of content in place. Keeping the number of unnatural links to a minimum would be a good guideline.

Google can detect the two ways linking. It is better for us to try for getting the one way link.
We can do three ways linking also for getting the backlink.

Thanks for this one, you are right and I agree with you.

i think you can get natural if your content is really unique but you must still build link to improve your backlinks more.

[chriscash01]

try submitting on dofollow bookmarkings and dofollow blogs.

right told, getting banned in this days is fever for webmasters, natural backlinks can drive us to win the battle.

I agree with all the points mentioned above. The technique is to use content properly and if people find these interesting enough, they will link to your site naturally and can help you get natural traffic.

Other ways could be writting articles, active participation in many forums and exchanging links.
