We know that links build up over time, but I think others may want to know and myself included, how to really speed this process up. Apart from flukey one-way exchanges, articles and directories - are there any suggestions or techniques that can gain a lot of links fast!
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately your suggestions aren't possible to follow.
The advice you gave is:
A) General and can't apply to most sites, as each site's purpose and makeup is different.
B) Researching where visitors hang out is much harder to do, than what you're suggesting. I feel many 'newbies' to website linking research, might take what you've said to be very achievable, and as a result go off on a tangent which might waste their valuable time.
Even when someone has researched possible linking partners, convincing them to swap links is another thing entirely. This has nothing to do with the sales pitches of whatever emails either - that's not what I mean. (I will put a linking tips post together and answer this point in more detail).
C) Participating in forums is just too long a process and anyone that's tried it (like me) knows that to be the truth. Besides, the effort involved is emense which renders this technique useless as a marketing tool, because when you have other duties to attend to, many just don't have the time to write tons of posts so they can add a url in the signature. Too busy.
D) Write a blog. What did I say above about the time aspect....... A site might not be right for a blog.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a blog is a diary and will take up much time to maintain - and the benefit of incorporating one, would have to be pretty significant. I just don't see the rewards in adding blogs, as additional traffic generators - the maintenance would outweigh the rewards. And you've got to consider that.
