We often get this question at UK webmaster Forum, how do I build links and how do I know what a quality link is. Here are some answers to the question of link building and accessing the quality of a link.

• Blog post . Contribute to a blogs in the niche you are building links for. For example if you are building links for a dating site, go to dating related blogs and offer to be a guest blogger.
• Blog commenting. Comment in a blog relating to the niche you are building links for. It should be a sensible comment with decent word count or else your comment will be considered spam and deleted.
• Articles Directory. I am not very sure about this because most article directories are spammy, if you can find one of high quality, it may be useful to add a few unique articles. Don't submit one article to several articles directory though, that is now very good.
• Web Directory. Again, web directory in your niche are the best, if you cannot find niche web directory, they general directory may be a good substitute.
• Link Exchange . If you have more than one website, 3 way link exchange is the best way to get very strong links. Homepage or contextual link exchange in particular can be very effective.

Social Media
Facebook. Create a Facebook page and link to the site you are promoting from it. You also need to find a way of making that Facebook page strong (Get a lot of Likes etc)
Squido - Create a Squido page and link from it.
YouTube . Video on YouTube and other video sharing site and of course link from them to the site you are building links for.#


Determining what a quality link is.

There are several ways to determine the quality of a site or page.

MozRank - This is one way of finding out how strong a page or site is
OBL - The number of out going back link from a site or a page matters, if there are too many outgoing links, you DON'T want a link on that page
Alexa - Though Alexa is not a respected way of determining anything, but at least it will give you and indication of whether the site is alive or dead.[/QUOTE]
