Link Building this Year
Just like last year, I’ll try to list the best link building related posts of the year. I’ve listed the best ones (well, at least in my opinion) first, followed by a couple of special categories, a few honorable mentions and the most popular posts of Wiep.net. Let’s hope 2009 will bring even more link marketing related content.
If you managed to miss every link related post of this year, want to bookmark awesome content or when link building is just a new thing for you, make sure to read, save and/ or print these posts:

I love when people do these types of post because they are very resourceful. These are also great link baiting pieces that people usually bookmark to social news site so that the post gets more traffic.
Great list, but you should really check out the Link Building Cookbook from Collin LaHay, as that guide has helped me build a ton of good links.
I second Collin Lahay! That Cookbook is great, some of the stuff is questionable but he at least mentions it hehe. I hope a lot of great new information makes it way out of the woodwork this years because there have been way too many “fundamentals of link building” posts. Less philosophy and more link building!
@Jeremy and Ryan: Sorry, but I’m just not a big fan of his cookbook. Even though it does provide a few tips that might be useful for some, there have been lots of posts written throughout the year that provide much more solid advice.
Really useful list thanks. and I agree with you cookbook is not so briliant.
I’ve checked out the Cookbook…It’s ok, not the best. I think your links here supercede the Cookbook by far. I find SEO forums somewhat helpful but far too many irrelevent postings and very few good feedback.
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.
