@Rajesh That’s a very 2007 strategy. There could be particular opportunities where a reciprocal link trade is fine, but on the whole reciprocals won’t lead to achieving good rankings.

Nice post.

But as you said in first para of Manual link building that directly contact with webmaster to get linked on there websites, in which all other people on internet also want’s to be linking back to your website as well.

So is it normal or not to build reciprocal back-link to achieve good ranking.

Revert please.

You’re very welcome, Ann!

@Sameer Very true. Promotion is a critical stage of the link attraction process at Vertical Measures. Any great piece of content must be heavily promoted to reach its highest potential.

@David Definitely have to be careful not to deal with companies like those. Relevance is certainly key when building relationships with communities.

I recently had an issue with buying “Cheap Back Links” (I’m new to back linking) and I hired a company to do some back linking for me. Needless to say they decided it was a good idea to spam low pr forums with my links which is NOT what I wanted AT ALL.

The real issue is some of the forums they posted my links on had some very questionable material on them and now I can’t do anything about it.

I recommend you stay away from “cheap back links” because it’ll probably hurt you more then help you.

If you want quality back links do the work yourself, go and find communities that are actually similar to yours and provide them with as much value as you can instead of being spammy.

I am very upset about my current experience and hope you avoid making the same mistake I did. I’ll be lucky if my sites don’t get unlisted.

It’s important to build links manually but it’s the natural links that really give your link portfolio a boost. In order to gain these natural links it’s necessary to have a strong content marketing strategy in place. Without interesting content a link building campaign is limited.
