We’re always talking about keeping links fresh and how important it is to keep up with your link building efforts. It’s great to talk about, but it can be daunting after months of trying to generate new and different links that will register well with the search engines. This week we thought we’d give you ten quick ways to add some links so that you can take a breather from the strenuous stuff and still feel good about adding real link value to your site. Each one should not take more than 5 minutes, a total of 50 minutes!- www.worldsiteindex.com (free Tue-Fri)
- www.webotopia.org ($15)
- www.all-linkdirectory.com
2 places to Go Local: http://local.yahoo.com and http://register.local.com/free/update.aspx are both local searches that are ideal linking opportunities for small businesses. You get great links and you can draw some added local traffic from the many people who routinely use local searches to find local businesses. Yahoo Local includes customer reviews, maps and blogs as well. Local.com is a more straightforward listing, but does include business descriptions and you can search by zip code or city.
1 Link Site you should join is LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com. This professional networking website provides you with great access to thousands of other business professionals who are members of the network and allows you to connect with others through affiliations with companies, schools and universities you may have in common with other members. You can give and receive recommendations, discover business opportunities and create multiple links as a member. It’s free to sign-up and takes only minutes to get through the set up process. Look for me at my LinkedIn profile.
3 Blog Comment Right Here. Yep, all you have to do is add two comments to our site and your third comment (and every one after that), will get a “do follow” link right back to your site. Maybe you can even suggest a couple other places to get a decent link in 5 minutes or less!
For some more great ways to quickly add links to your site, check out the link building tips at WIEP.

Great suggestions. I’m going to check out those directories right now.
One other thought is to look for sites that have the WordPress “top commentators” plug-in installed. I’ve got it on a few of mine. It lists the top commentators in the sidebar, and by default the links are not no-followed.
It might be a neat idea to write a post with a big list of sites like that.

Thanks for sharing those directories. I hope they continue to hold value amidst the growing “directory” controversy. Here is one way to get a quick link: http://www.aboutus.org. Do a search for your URL and if it’s not listed, a wiki page will be created in real time. Network Solutions is now using this source in conjunction with it’s WHOIS listings also.
P.S. – Thanks for the the comment link.

UPDATE: After checking out the directories, I am not impressed with two of them.
Webtopia – I did not see a “free” option, plus the front page has the “latest and top tags” which seems spam-like to me given what is in the list.
All Links Directory – I’d say it’s garbage and will likely eventually suffer the “alleged Google Directory penalty”. It’s not a directory because it’s not organized like one. It’s just a list of links and a lame one at that. I looked at the latest links and the first was something about “russian girls” and the next was “online casino garbage”. NOT anything I would associate with (i.e. bad neighborhood) nor would I recommend to a client. And let’s not forget all of the AdSense ads.
Sorry to kill the buzz, just keeping it real.

Buzz Kill, uh I mean Anthony, looks like you are right about Webtopia – I only checked a couple of categories, but I could not find the free option. Maybe they dropped that option. Still it is only $15 and their backlinks do appear in Google.
Regarding All Links Directory, I suppose almost all free directories will eventually get hit by Google, again its quick and free and Google is counting it for now.
We didn’t say these were “hidden gems” nor the highest quality like a BOTW or Yahoo, nor that they would pass incredible link juice, but they do add some value with minimal effort.
Mostly we were just trying to get people to set aside a few minutes and add some more links rather than procrastinating another day away.
I appreciate you providing the feedback. That’s what best practices are all about.

Fantastic comment bait guys! I am clearly going to take advantage.
Some of my own tips:
1) Yahoo directory. Not free, but easy and not frowned upon.
2) Writing a guest post on a related blog in under 50 mins
3) linkdomain: your competition and see what links they easily secured to a deep link. Write a BETTER page than theirs and either watch the links come in or contact the site owner and request they change their link to yours!
PS: You have a new subscriber.

I would say proceed with caution when dealing with directories. Even though Google is not currently penalizing those three, that doesn’t mean that they won’t in the future (near or far)! If Google suddenly does start to penalize these directories then your site may also be penalized, so keep an eye on them if you decide to link there. Thank you for the other tips, and for the link as well!

Social networks, link farms, link directories are not for me.
Internal links is something I am going to take a look at and I like the blog comments suggestion. So there was my comment.

Not sure about the ‘no follow’ on LinkedIn. But it is still a great resource to control your reputation management. Plus, I have seen ‘no follows’ provide some link juice — so not a big believer in avoiding those.

I agree, LinkedIn is a great tool regardless of the nofollow/dofollow. Besides that, Yahoo and MSN still tend to pass the authority via the nofollow links so I would advice still using it as a link building tool.

Hello, thanks for adding my site in this list. I am sorry though to see that some people criticize it. I think the google penalization on directories passed already, it was just a wave and my directory wasn’t penalized. It is ranking high in Directory Critic and in Google for the term “free links directory”.
About the casino links and.. russian or whatever there was.. those were paid links and.. well.. a free directory must live from something and since google doesn’t seem to be bothered by that.. it’s ok.
oh.. the directory is also 1.5 yr old..

They will mail you a letter within 3 weeks to confirm and then you will appear on the map at the beginning of the listings. Great for people who live in the city!

Great Post – I love the headline…It drew me in big time…who wouldn’t want 10 new links in the next 50 minutes?
I’m trying the directories now.

The problem with the directories you have suggested below is that they require a fee to be listed. I need to register my African safari and vacation tour operator blog but they are asking for a fee. Anyway thanks for sharings

I only count 5, but good methods nonetheless. I would choose different directories as well as the ones you mentioned are probably devalued by the search engines.

Good tips about some of the ways to build links, but as some of the other commenters have pointed out, those directories do seem a bit sketchy, still beggars can’t be choosers I suppose and if they happen to relate to your own site might still be worth a punt.
Good reminder about the importance of internal links as well; always a good idea to make your deeper pages as findable as possible.

You can also create a lot of blogs on your own and link to your most important site.

Thanks for the open link invitation.
I just plain had not thought about the local search option because I never search that way. it will be great for a couple of my sites.
I never look for information from directories but I do list in them.
Another link building tip would be to write a high quality comment on blogs of people commenting on posts such as this one.

To all:
I must say I am really surprised at all the comments. I sincerely wrote this post with the intent of helping people get links by pointing out a few easy ones. I wasn’t trying to be clever or intentionally create something to draw links. Probably a lesson in there some where.
Another surprise has been the “push back” on the 3 suggested directories. As I mentioned above, we weren’t trying to provide any “hidden gems” or “amazingly powerful directories”, just a few that we knew where easy to get and that were known to be counted by Google (for now). I guess Webtopia.org is now fee based ($15) so I apologize for the false representation that it is free.
But to make up for it, there have been plenty of other good suggestions in the comments for additional places to get links.
Thank you to all of you who understood that this is a forum to help each other out – your suggestions are appreciated. (Like Anthony, Kyle, One Way, supaswag & Web Analytics’ recommendations.)
Keep ‘em coming! (Only family friendly links tho!)

Thanks for posting this. One small but important free link I see people miss is their email signature. It’s so basic that people seem to overlook it. This can matter even more if you participate in any mailing lists from sites like Freelists because messages are indexed by Google and other search engines. I also put my link in my Skype profile and have added some article pages from my site to Mixx.

Try making comments on Web 2.0 sites like Hubpages or Squidoo. Just search for Hubs or Lenses related to your keyword or niche and make a comment. Easy!
And don’t forget to use good anchor text. In other words don’t use your own name, but use your keyword in the Name(required) field, as I have here.
Good luck!

I do wonder, however, about why favored LinkedIn over the other similar networks which offer basically the exact same functionality.

Another quick way to get links…
Write a “resource list” of your most popular resources…be descriptive.
Then…
Go to those sources and network with them, getting them to link to you.

Great info!! Have you ever tried Comment Hut? The free version is GREAT for 10 links at a time, it identifies Blogs that allow comments and focus on the key words you use.
Just thought you might like to give it a spin!!

You can get several links with your anchor text that are “do -follow”.

Great suggestions, but one drawback (or opportunity for a new article?): the two directories you mentioned don’t allow for Canadian locations. I’m all for international exposure, but I’d like to work locally as well!

Hey all great entry definitely a good read. I would love to see more techniques with specific steps and urls of great links perhaps for specific niches in the future!
Here’s my site:
Unblock Sites
If you are looking for a place to get good links for proxy sites I would recommend using topsites that have PR and either have your entry on the first page always or it is really easy to get to the first page by having a few friends click on your topsite button.

Does anyone else ever get tired of seeing the obligatory but boring “great post” line, (in this case it was, as evidenced by the traffic). I mean isn’t that the real goal of any post – traffic – if not what? Something to think about.
So if I could make a couple hard hitting jabs to the gut here. I’d be willing to bet every comment here was placed for the purpose of getting a link, but ultimately the traffic that link represents. So why do we not think – this is an opportunity to stand out from everyone else. Anytime you leave a blog comment the goal should not be to blend in but to standout so people may click through to your site, which may develop a business relationship.
Blending in is like being on the 14th page of Google search results – standing out is being on the first page. Also think in these terms – if your comments lead to further discussion and additional comments and activity you’re not only going to get noticed by the people commenting but also the blog host. Which could lead to you being asked to write a guest blog post or at the very least asked to comment on other blogs.
This last comment is only intended for those who fell off the turnip truck today, but guest post = credibility.

WOW I never really thought about how adding the dofollow plug in might change the way my or any blog pulls comments.
That in itself is a link strategy article in itself. I have read Andy Beard on this alot but you have gone much further in demonstarting it.

Anyway, one of the directories that’s overly recommended is DMOZ.com. I think it’s one of those directories that really pays off in terms of link building. It’s also free.

Anyway, one of the directories that’s overly recommended is DMOZ.com. I think it’s one of those directories that really pays off in terms of link building. It’s also free.

Yes, I’m a little late to the party
Great post. I too try to link internally whenever I can.

Awesome post. While there seems to be some controversy over which sites/directories are quality opportunities to build back links to your site, the over-all moral of the story remains the same…
Get off your butt and build some links!

Thanks for the listing the directories. I am not going to bother with http://www.webotopia.org because they have a backlog of almost half a year and only their front page seems to have PR and that is a pathetic 3.

Well looks like i hit it on the wrong day, but this is a good directory – recommended by a few people I’ve talked to.
I’ve been having good success with loopnote.com, a pretty good site for microblogging that seems to be indexed well. My ‘loop’ was indexed and ranked well fairly quickly on it’s own right. which was surprising to me.

I’m surprised to find some complain that the directories mentioned require a fee. The Internet companies come and go, and their policy changes too. For example, CBW interviewed more than 1,000 startup CEOs. Most are now out of business. So its’ our responsibility to check the policy when we want to use the directories. What’s important is to learn the skills and strategy which the blogger has generously shared with us. Thanks for the informative post. Btw, we have some posts about link-building and business strategy.

I appreciate your ‘giving-back’ to the community of SEO’s and bloggers. In that spirit I would like to expand upon your “Local” strategy.
Brick and mortar businesses can benefit greatly from using the new Google Local listings. Act quickly and you’ll be first in your area/keyword. You may get your own exclusive map at the top of Page 1!
Less obvious additional directory resources are:
insiderpages.com – rating and reviews matter
merchantcircle.com – rating and reviews matter
yepple.com
about.us – new wiki for localities across the US
hotfrog.com – my favorite
Good linking to you!

Thanks for sharing. Link building is a time consuming task so it is best done in a meaningful manner. Quality of links is often overlooked by aggressive linking strategies. It is always better to get 1 good link than 20 meaningless ones. Some say that two way links are no good but I think sometimes two way links are essential as a high PR site will not allow a simple one way link unless it is a directory. In general I think meaningful participation in forums and blogs are an excellent way to get traffic to your website. Even if a blog is no follow adding a link will still have value as it can generate significant traffic to you website.

Hi
Thank you for the good tips. I can contribute a little your last tip, getting a link from the comment here on your blog…
Go to http://www.seo-traffic-guide.de and get a list of do-follow blogs for your keywords, then you can repeat the last step on hundreds of other relevant blogs. Of course only if you have something relevant to say, I don’t encourage spam!
