Does any one know what sites to go onto for free links? Esp ones relating to Sports therapy/sports massage.

I will owe you all eternally.

Thanks

Here is the list with top 12 link building tips that I highly recommend you to use when starting to build your links.

1. Directory Submission
Getting listed in dirs is good for you, you get a lot of backlinks. I am posting here only high quality, free, human reviewed, PR6+ directories only ( BTW I checked the PR of the directories I am providing with Google Toolbar and I have to say that there is a big difference in their PR since the last update. I have seen many directories that have fallen from PR6 to PR0, I suppose they have used some black seo to get promoted and finally they lost their PR). The good thing about these dirs is that if you get your site listed you will get lots of traffic. The bad thing is that the review proccess of your site often is more than 3 months. Here is the list I use:
http://dir.yahoo.com/ PR 8
http://www.dmoz.org PR8
http://www.stpt.com/ PR 8
http://www.open-site.org PR 8
http://www.femina.com PR 7
http://www.portal.eatonweb.com PR 7
http://www.bloggernity.com PR 6
http://www.podcastzoom.com/ PR 6
http://www.bloguniverse.com PR 6
http://www.gogreece.com PR 6
http://www.lanic.utexas.edu PR 6
http://www.sacentral.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm PR 6
http://www.worldhot.com/ PR 6
http://www.elib.org/ PR 6
http://www.ezilon.com/ PR 6
http://www.christiansunite.com/ PR 6
http://www.aardvark.co.za PR 6
http://www.nzs.com/ PR 6
http://www.info-listings.com/ PR 6
http://findingblog.com/ PR 6
http://www.iguide.co.il/ PR 6
Of course there are more good high PR directories but I will leave the search for them to you. You can use google to find some, but the lists that come on first page results shows the old PR of the directories. So in my view these 21 dirs that I have posted here a worth to submit to them. Don’t get mad if you are not listed after 3 months from submission. Your time will come, don’t give up!
2. Link Exchange with other webmasters
This is also good way to get backlinks. When contacting other webmasters write in personalized way. Tell them why you want to exchange links with them, introduce your site to them, tell them more about your site. Try to exchange links with only high quality sites with higher PR. You may find good partners to exchange links, the best way is contacting them in personal, or you may use some forums to find link exchange requests, and last but not least you may use some automated link exchange sites. Here are some of them:
http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/ PR 6
http://www.linkdiary.com/ PR 5
http://www.telalinks.com/ PR 5
http://www.linkexchanged.com/ PR 5
http://www.belinked.info/ PR 5
http://www.linkwizard.net/ PR 4
Using these automated link exchange sites will also boost your backlinks and you will get many relevant links to your site. You can find much more sites like these but to be honest I think these ones will do a perfect job. You can always ask google about something like: ‘free automated link exchange sites’, ‘free reciprocal programs’, ‘free link building programs’ and some more search terms like these.
If you want first to check the pagerank of the site you will be exchanging links with I recommend you to use:
http://www.digpagerank.com/ – In this site you can check the PR of a page or site in over 700 google datacenters
3. Article Submissions
Maybe I won’t tell you something new but try to write good quality unique articles and post them to the best free article directories. This is one of the best way to do 2 things for your site: first get a lot of backlinks from the articles and second get a lot of traffic I hope you know that you have to put your keywords that you compete for in the anchor text which is very very important for higher results in the SE’s.
http://ezinearticles.com/ PR 6
http://www.articleclick.com/ PR 6
http://www.1888articles.com/ PR 5
http://www.articlesbase.com/ PR 4
http://www.talkinmince.com/ PR 4
http://www.article-hut.com/ PR 4
http://www.articleuniversity.com/ PR 4
http://www.articlefeeder.com/ PR 4
http://thephantomwriters.com/ PR 4
http://www.article99.com/ PR 4
http://www.instantcashflow.org/free-article-directory/ PR 4
This list is only 11 sites long but if your article gets listed in all of them expect more than 1000 visitors to come to your site from the link in the article.
4. Press Release Submission
This method is something like writing articles and post them almost everywhere. In fact using this tactic you have to write a press release about your site or a page from your site. The process is the same. You have to submit the press release to good press release distribution sites. Below is the list of the ones that I am using.
http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/ PR 6
http://www.pr.com/press-releases/ PR 6
http://www.free-press-release-center.info/ PR 6
http://www.clickpress.com PR 6
http://www.pressbox.co.uk PR 6
http://www.prleap.com PR 6
http://www.1888pressrelease.com/ PR 5
http://ecommwire.com/ PR 5
http://www.przoom.com/ PR 5
http://www.newswiretoday.com/ PR 5
http://www.free-press-release.com PR 5
http://www.pressreleasenetwork.com PR 5
http://www.prfree.com/ PR 5
Hope these 13 sites will help you to get much traffic. If you submit regularly to them and your site or articles gets listed there expect to get at least 200 unique visitors daily.
5. Social Networking / Social Group Sites
Social networking sites are very useful these days not only to get links but also huge traffic. Participating in social group / networking sites are proving to give boost to your traffic these days. Here is my list:
www.myspace.com PR 8
http://spaces.live.com/ PR 8
http://www.livejournal.com/ PR 8
http://www.orkut.com/ PR 8
http://www.friendster.com/ PR 7
http://www.linkedin.com/ PR 7
http://360.yahoo.com/ PR 7
These are one of the best social group sites. There are a lot more but I think these are enough, they are high quality and have a high PR ( 7+). They are perfect for getting good backlicks to your site.
6. Getting link from .org , .gov and .edu sites
The education, organization and government sites are considered much more valued sites and links coming from those sites are valuable. You need to search and find such sites.
Do a simple search on Google with this search term:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%…G=Search&hl=en
You may use another perfect search term special for edu blogs:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q…22&btnG=Search
With this string you will get all .edu blogs that allow posting comments and do not require to be logged in. Hope you find this string perfect. You can experiment with it for all kind of domains, it’s up to you. Make blog comments and put links in them, make sure your comment is genuine and not spam. You have to read the whole topic and find something to comment on the topic, job is done. After doing some comments maybe in a week you will see in Google index that you have links from .edu domain or .gov
7. Social Bookmarking Site Submission
This is the newest technique to get quality backlinks to your site. These days people like to share their interests in social bookmarking sites. Posting your interesting article to such sites will boost your traffic and give you thousands of visitors. But it is not so easy as it sounds – you have to write really good article, or news or something very very interesting to get your article on first page of these sites.
Don’t waste your time or money submitting to sites that don’t receive traffic! Use this list of sites for the best social bookmarking results

8. Forum posts
This is the way I like best for getting backlinks. Find forums that are in your niche and create account with them. In userpage write your homepage and you have a backlink. DO a search on Google and you will see how many forums are out there, you will be amazed. Do this process many many times and you will have one way links pointing to your site.You can combine this with forum posts and this way you will get your signature shown much more times. Personally to me it doesn’t matter that forums have nofollow tags, Google still counts that as a link to you.
9. Blog comments
Another great way of letting the world know about your site. This method is similar to forum comments, again most of the blogs comments have nofollow tags but Google still count this as a backlink. Here is another good way to get a backlink from a blog’s main page:
Find blogs that have “top comments” or “recent comments” plugins, this way if you are top commentator you will get your link on the main page of a blog. Do this with blogs that fall into your category. I didn’t knew that but a friend told me this method and I must say that I see good results for now.
10. Get a link on a mainpage of PR 9 sites
This one you probably do not know but I am going to share it. Spare some time, do a search for sites that have PR 9 and have a donation section in their mainpage. I am sure there are at least 20 such sites. In this donation section they post latest 20 or 30 donators. Do a donation for at least 1$ and you will see your site listed there. This is the cheapest way I think to have one way non-reciprocal backlink from PR 9 site, don’t you think?
11. Design a Template
Designing a Template for blogs (like WordPress) is

Learn how in-house SEO strategy and in-house Social Media marketing is being accomplished at ABCNews.com.

Read the full blog post at:
http://www.instantetraining.com/blog/2010/09/eleanor-hong-abcnews-seo/

Bob Tripathi: That’s a great point. The next question I want to ask you about is social media. Everyone is doing social media in some shape or form. News sites can really leverage social media and I’ve seen some folks do it. But at ABC News, how are you approaching social media and what are your visions or your plans to integrate social media, search and all of that stuff?

Eleanor Hong: Social media is definitely important and it’s changing the landscape for a lot of media sites. We’re seeing that Facebook now is one the most important sites to share news stories and to share video. It’s probably catching up, if not having caught up, with Google News. I think a lot of media sites, for our site we’re having an editorial group called “Audience Growth and Development”, so we’re tasked to really help drive traffic through search and social media and linkage and link partners. For us, we have to look at our Facebook and Twitter strategies on a daily level with editorial. A lot of our digital journalists are just so great. They already have an understanding of social media because they use it themselves. They also use social media to help with finding sources.

For ABC News, it’s aligning the business goals with the social media strategies. That can come from just a working relationship with editorial and marketing. So we have our flagship shows like Good Morning America and World News. World News with Diane Sawyer has a Facebook and fans. Good Morning America has over a million Twitter followers. It’s just really bringing them the content they’re interested in off of those programs, that’s one example. We also have our ABCnews.com verticals: again, technology, travel and business. Using those natural or conventional news categories each producer… Again I have a social media editor who’s just so great, she helps with really owning and maintaining the ABC News accounts for Facebook and Twitter, and putting out what’s out there and what’s important and really engaging with out fans in terms of “this is the news of the moment”. She is also coming up with Facebook quizzes to really engage and interact with the followers because it’s not just a promo tool. I think that’s the misinterpretation of social media is that Facebook and Twitter is a promo tool, and it’s not. It’s community. It community building, it is engagement, it’s really brining them what they’re looking for.

As you know with Facebook and the friends and the followers, they know and they will respond if something’s skewed or something’s wrong or something’s off. They’re going to be vocal about it. It’s important to engage and understand who your fans are and to provide them the content that they’re looking for. It’s great for us, as a news site, because we can provide a funny video or an oddity, a medical mystery or marvel type of story, or a video of a crash, developing news or even breaking news. Instead of just email alerts of breaking news, we’ve moved on to social media tools. You see now, more and more journalists using social media to really get a pulse on what’s developing. I think it’s definitely changing the landscape. But I think old principals apply, whether they are journalism or SEO, just applying over to the social media platform.
