Link building tools are they as good as they once were

Keywords

Using link building tools to send masses of links to your website used to be a great way of gaining a top search engine ranking. Many people use a link building strategy that includes purchasing software that automatically drops links onto forums, blogs and social networking sites. This will no longer get you a better search engine placement as Google and the other search engines are now clamping down big time on these methods.

With the new Panda update from Google many sites now that used to have a high search engine placement have now gone way down in the search engine listings and some have even disappeared. The reason google bought this update out is that a lot of companies were complaining that they were being outranked in the search engines by sites that had nothing but junk content and mass links from content farm sites.

Google has now targeted many sites that have what is known as scraped content on them. This scraped content which is actually articles and other information borrowed by consent or sometimes illegally taken has no place on the Internet according to Google. Because of this anybody using the Wordpress platform for their sites and who has the autoposting of content plugin enabled will soon find themselves losing site ranking.

Link Building campaigns that send quality backlinks to your site are now very important and manually obtaining them is the best way to keep control of what sites are linking to yours. Press releases are very powerful sites, although if you are looking to write one yourself then checking out examples of press releases before you attempt yours is advisable. Linking from social bookmarking sites is also good but make sure that you fill in your profile as failing to do so could get your account banned.

Article marketing is still a great way to build backlinks and improve search engine ranking for your site but it is now even more important that you do not submit to sites that are what they call content farms. According to Google the definition of a content farm is a site that has shallow or low quality content. It is vital therefore that any articles that you write are of good quality and to help in achieving this the use of semantic keywords and phrases should be used.

To keep the search engines happy and to improve search engine rankings for your site the following link building strategy should be used. Article marketing, ensuring that you write quality content with each article being at least 400 words long and filled with semantic keywords and phrases. Social bookmarking, again making sure that you fill in the profile for each site that you register on as this will give you more authority. Finally press releases should be used but before writing your own check out some press release samples to see what is acceptable content.
