I decided to post some link building tips because the methods for building links has changed quite a bit over the years. Techniques that worked quite well just a few years ago are no longer as effective as they used to be. Keeping up with the most recent and effective link building techniques can be overwhelming. Hopefully these tips will help you get on the right track.

Here are my top link building tips:

1. Seek out one-way links when possible. Reciprocal links are no longer effective, and although you may gain some benefit from them, your time is better spent pursuing one-way links from quality sites. The easiest way to get one-way links is to purchase them on exchanges like Text Link Ads, or to use a link building software like SeNuke.
2. If you have the money, get listed on the Yahoo Directory. This costs 9 per year, but if you only have 1 or 2 sites and you can afford it, it is money well spent since it will give you some serious link juice.
3. Try to get listed on the Open Directory. Other than Yahoo, the Open Directory (aka DMOZ) is the only directory where being listed will give your site a lot of link juice. Unlike Yahoo, it is free to get listed, but you have to be very persistent to get listed.
4. Do online article marketing. Many people burn out quickly using this technique, so my advice is to use a program that will automate much of this process. Magic Article Rewriter/Submitter is the article tool with the best reputation. You can also do article marketing with SeNuke.
5. Link from Web 2.0 sites. The only automated tool I have found for doing this is SeNuke. If you do this manually, make sure to include popular Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo or Hubpages. Create pages on these sites, add content, and create links back to your main site.
6. Social bookmark your site. This technique can get tedious quickly, so it is important that you outsource the work or automate this task using a social bookmarking program. While I use SeNuke for my own bookmarking needs, I have also been told Bookmarking Demon is an excellent tool.
7. Use blog networks to get links to your site. I use a blog network called AMA / Article Marketing Automation, however, there are other networks with a good reputation as well. This method goes well with online article marketing. If you submit articles to these blog networks, bloggers will start posting your content on their blogs with a link back to your site. This is a powerful way to build links over time, and it requires some patience but the results are great.
8. Put up videos on video sharing sites like Youtube. The description field will let you have links, so this is where you can build a backlink from the #1 video sharing site on the Web. This method is not used by most people because creating videos can take a lot of time. However, your video does not have to be fancy, just informative. A quick powerpoint presentation can make a nice video if you record it using a free screen capturing program like CamStudio. 

If you only employ a few of these link building tips for each new site or webpage you create, you will start seeing a significant increase in traffic.
