Stop That Linking Building Strategy Now link building strategies that kill your SEO efforts

There are lots of talks about link building and lot of them share information about what you should do not get those dofollow and nofollow back-links that suppose to get you to the top for Google search results, suppose to bring more targeted visits and, as the result, more profit to your business.
People, who know about SEO, too know about Google Panda and Penguin updates that they roll out pretty often. These updates cause lots of talks and articles published on tech, SEO and online marketing blogs. No doubt – search engine optimization strategies change very quickly and one should read a lot and follow the updates to stay tuned.
This article will show some examples of link building strategies that kill your SEO efforts and might hard your website’s rankings.
Directory submission
This is one of the oldest ways to get lots of back-links to cheap and lots of SEOs still purchase directory submission. This is a waste of time and money. These directories have poor content and the links don’t posses power. Moreover, lots of them will never be indexed by Google, Yahoo and Bing.
Forum profile links
If you wasting your time on links in forums’ profile pages, then you should stop doing it. The reason is pretty simple: you will not be able to find many quality websites that will offer you really valuable link. You too will have to be an active forum user to keep your profile live, as top forums delete inactive account regularly.
Links in Blog Comments
This method of getting back-links was very popular 4 or 5 years ago and at that time it worked pretty well. Today I would too call it a waste of time because of several reasons. The first is that most of the websites are so polluted with links that the blogs are rather link farms, than a trustful source. Another reasons is that people become more and more SEO savvy and they mark username links with a ‘nofollow’ tag.
Keyword rich anchor text link purchase
Stop purchasing links from websites that sell links and do not provide quality content. 90% of those websites were hit by Google Panda and/or Penguin, so the links from the website lost their value too. Google shared some live spam examples, so can compare them with where you have links pointing to your website.
I would like to finish the article with something good and positive that throws light to the end of the SEO tunnel you might think you got in. Successful link building now depends on how good the content you share is. Use the SEO power of Google Plus, Twitter, FaceBook and other social websites to promote your content to the people who will then to back to it from their good and trustful websites getting you higher and high in SERPs.
