Link Building this Week (24.2008)

It looks like whole fakebait discussion is finally coming to an end. In stead of dozens of new topics, I only found two posts (and one -great!- video) touching the subject last week. Frank Watson tried to determine what valid linkbait is and Eric Ward explained why he thinks that relevance and authority depends on (or may shift to) the linkers in stead of the links. Good to see that this leaves more room for other link building related stuff now, such as David Snyder’s site rejuvenation tips, Patrick Altoft’s how to build links or Justilien’s post about getting links from new sites.

And also:

• Receptional’s Shimrit Elisar explains why she thinks that it’s getting more difficult to get people to link to you
• Debra Mastaler listed a few discount codes for Directory listings
• Patrick from 10e20 gave some tips on researching for linkbait pieces
• Ann Smarty’s link lists are always well optimized for effective link building
