Link Building this Year

Unlike previous years, I did not have as much time for blogging in 2010 as I had hoped I would have. Although I did publish a few articles that I think deserve a mention, you can find the best link building articles of the year on other blogs.

These articles are my personal favorites of 2010:

1. Link Building with the Experts – 2010 Edition

Rae Hoffman-Dolan, Outspoken Media

What’s better than getting advice from 11 link building experts at the same time? It simply is not possible to read this article and not get new ideas for your link building campaign.

2. Building Deep Links Into E-Commerce Product Pages

Everett Sizemore, SEOmoz

Building links to ecommerce pages can be one of the hardest things to do. Sure, anyone can build links to home pages or link bait content, but what about pages that scream “BUY ME!”?

3. 62 steps to the definitive link building campaign

Mark Nunney, Wordtracker

Most of the tips in Mark’s article will probably not sound new to most link builders, but it’s the thoroughness of the article and the clear process that made it stand out for me in 2010.
