A great post on link deveopment popped up today from Sugarrae. She did a group interview from five experts in the field of search engine optimization and link building.  It’s a very long interview but well worth it. 

Just to name a few subjects, the article goes over buying links, developing links for ‘boring’ industries, and common mistakes made when developing links. 

Pay close attention to Question Five, “Name 5 specific techniques (queries, tools, process, or starting points) you would use to get links for a statewide real estate agent.”.  The experts talk about finding your niche, creation of unique and specific content that is interesting to your viewers, hosting mashups, taking advantage of video and social media, and geo-targeting areas for links. 

Question Ten hits on the reciprocal links question that many people often ask.  Using reciprocal links as your main strategy to rank your website will not work.  Coming from our background of reciprocal links, I had to chuckle and sigh a little. Reciprocal links are not dead, themselves, but linking with low quality sites or just linking to gain yourself placement in the SERPs, is. 

Again, take the time to read the whole link development article and think on how you can improve your content and gain valuable inbound links.
