Link Building Best Practice Labels, Tags, and Categories

Link Building and content publicity takes place in many ways and in many venues. For example, it's in vogue right now to talk about "link bait", and link bait itself has evolved to the point where some people have strong feelings about best practices just for link bait. Link bait best practices will be different than backlink analysis best practices, which will be different from social media link building best practices, which will be different than .edu link seeking best practices. Thus a "best practices list" for link building needs to encompass as many of these venues and approaches as possible. I'll use the built in functionality of this blog software to assign keyword "labels" for each post. That way as time passes if you only want to read posts about a specific subject, you can do so.

  1. Yor SEL article included a site about boats. My site is about vacation rentals. I'm not likely to attract links from a library. What are your best practices for me?

  2. Point taken. Would you be willing to give me the URL? That way I can make this more specific to your situation. For what it's worth, I disagree with you about the libraries. Run this search at Google

    vacation rentals "public library" site:.edu

    And amonst the crap and spam are some legit targets.
