I will second JT's comment on cranking out killer content.

I also second Narrow Bridge - guest posting is one of the most effective ways to build not only back links but also instant followership

I love what Crystal posted - simply ask!

I think my question was more what KNS asked. I know how to create backlinks for a blog, but when there's no blog it's a lot harder.

@Crystal: How do you go about asking without seeming like the scammy emails?

I just ask fellow bloggers that I already know. I've done a lot of favors and have interacted with a ton of bloggers already so I'm not cold calling anybody, lol.

We have some smart people here. What has worked for me:

1. GUEST POSTING - lots of guest posting and start with fellow Yakezies

2. Blog comments and participantion

3. Join communities like Reddit and Tip'd. Participate, submit your pages, and ask for support to get them higher ranking and noticed.

4. As JT said, write quality stuff that people want to link to.

This is going to sound stupid, but stupid works. The best way to build backlinks is to provide information that people WANT to link to.

If you have a kickass post on "how to make money online," and Sunil has several, it's probably going to get tweeted, linked, etc. and those links will bring far more Google Juice than anything you could create yourself.

directory submissions, though mostly forgotten, have worked very well for me when spaced out over a period of time. problem with most blog and forum postings is that the links have "no follow" tags, therefore you are not really building links in the conventional way they are meant to be. i have used Pat's strategy, and have incorporated some tweaks of my own as well to further expedite and amplify progress. link wheeling is also a killer back link strategy. i will be writing on link wheeling shortly.

There are a ton of ways to build backlinks without guest posting.

Article marketing. Write an article and submit it to the article sites, like EzineArticles, Hubpages, Squidoo.
Social bookmarking. Reddit, delicio.us, etc.
Blog commenting. Go comment on niche-specific blogs. Make them good comments. It's easier if the sites use things like KeywordLuv and TopCommentator.
Forum commenting. Find a niche-specific forum and start participating.
Forum profiles. There are a ton of forums that allow you to register and create a profile,without participating. I don't consider these spam, because nobody sees it without going through the membership list of a site.

Pat Flynn posted an article "The Backlinking Strategy That Works." Has anyone used this strategy for a Niche site? It sounds like the strategy works, but I am curious if Google's panda update had an impact on this strategy. Anyone have thoughts?

If it's a niche site that is only there to provide information - meaning it has no real "blog" component - such as Crystal's Life Insurance site, how do you suggest getting backlinks for it then?

I link to it myself like Suba said. I also will link to it in a few staff writer posts coming up. Beyond that, I beg other bloggers to link to http://aboutlifeinsurance.org when they talk about life insurance. If they let me know, I make sure to return the favor. :-)

It is supposed to be a resource type site right, so you could refer it when you write your own post (like Crystal could include that whenever she talks about life insurance at BFS) and if you write a guest post to someother blog on related subject, the same way, you could link it as a resource.

Start with roundups and blog carnivals and work your way through guest posts. Guest posts are the most useful. If a site can get you a link without nofollow it is a good backlink (no spam sites though, you get penalized).

Crystal is right. You can build backlinks through guest posts, blogroll listings, article directories, social media sites.

Guest posting is a good way to get your links on bigger sites. Simply writing interesting posts will probably get you into roundups as well. Blog carnivals are all about link love too. Good luck!

So I've been reading a bit about niche sites and building backlinks and I thought I'd ask the superiorly dumb question....how do you build backlinks?

Thanks!
