Thanks Matt I’ve found new interesting ideas about this SEO advice to get more links.. I will probably make and share some article that will explain more about this ideas. This will enable my student and other stuff to understand and be reminded about what to do when it comes to building your back links.

Hey Matt,

I was just wondering if link exchange between two bloggers is also considered wrong? Blogroll is actually meant to link to the sites that you like, rather than the ones that are considered to be authoritative in the eyes of search engines, isn’t it?

Matt / All,
I know and understand why Google places such value on links as being votes for your business etc. But come on guys & girls – in the real world does this happen – especially on a local level.

Imagine for a moment my mum who runs a business goes and buys a car for her business. Does anyone really honestly think she would then go to the bother of starting a blog post about her car purchase, or that she would put a link on her business website to say – ‘Look at the car I just got from Bob’s Autos’ etc.

I dont believe in the real world this happens on a local level. It may just happen on a social networking level, but even then let’s say my mum Tweets or updates her FB wall to say “I’ve bought a car” I doubt she’ll then have the time or inclination to add in the url.

I’m currently reading a lot about link-building and I agree with some of what you say, but isnt the concept of chasing links for links sake a bit outdated? Maybe I’m wrong. Discuss. lol

Matt, I am totally agree with your idea that quality websites deserve to rank highers in SERP. However, I don’t see the connection between “getting links” and the examples you provided. (anyway, good ones though) More clarify please?

Might be a new learning curve for us all… I just talk to someone from a company who had a rather large and very old site pulled from the Google index based on an old java script that did hide some links on some pages. Another words, these pages were not built for the user experience as its sole purpose. Anyway… within an hour it was completely repaired, in conformance with Google´s Guidlines and the reinstatement email was sent. The question is this, since everything seems to be based 100% on the “user experience” being the absolute bottom line, should they stop their multi million dollar Google PPC campaign until Google approves of the repairs and re-indexes the site?, (Some of the PPC campaign points to some of these not perfect pages). And from what I am reading, the Google indexing reinstatement could take 3 days, or 3 months if at all.

Thanks Spencer, I think we could learn a lot from each other. You are right in everything you have said.

Well its a no brainer that quality content is the king but your title says ‘Getting links’ which is the next thing to do. U haven’t told us how to get links but instread told us to get links through blogs. Now my question is create our own blogs in our website that we want promoted or write articles in public blogs about our website/products/services?

Great post Matt, Link baiting is the best way to get links, and always has been. When you think about it, people only link to you if they want to! Therefore it makes sense that the best linkbuilding method is to MAKE people want to link to you. (you save yourself hours of time and aggro in the process too)
