Building quality links to your site will help it grow, and gain organic traffic from search engines. This is key to the success of your blog or website. So what social sites are good for link building?

Best Social Sites For Link Building

Hub Pages is a great option for link building. You need to build your profile to have a ranking above 74 before your links get nofollow taken from them. This isn’t hard if you plan to have more that 4-5 hubs.

Squidoo is a good option. You can create a lens on any of your niche topics and embed follow links back to your main sites.

Both these sites give you tools to create great media rich content, and is ideal for link building.

Best article sites For Link Building

The best options for building links using articles sites are:

E-zine – The articles can rank well in Google, and links in the resource box will carry a good amount of strength.

Go-articles – Another good option link building, articles can rank well in Google, and the links well worth your effort.

Tips for build linking on these sites

Articles on the above sites can rank quite well in Google, and the links can carry a lot of value, but for you to get the most out of them, you need to do more than just write content and hope. Good readable content is a must. Read other hubs and lenses and see what content is performing well.

Here are a couple of hubs I have created to give you an idea of the sort of level expected. Both are only very new though. I didn’t put too much effort in to either of them, as I find it easy to write about MMO topics.

Other thoughts

A good strategy for building quality links to your site is do more than simply create content on these sites, but to create content which links to your site, then build links to that content as well. A few links from social bookmarking sites will help your hubs, squidoo’s and articles to perform much better, and give much more value to them.

Connect Content is a network for web masters like you and me to get relevant anchor targeted links to our web content. I have been using this service to promote some of my niche sites and articles since it’s private beta launch and and want to offer readers an opportunity to join also.

Connect content is not free. It will cost you $12 a month or $120 a year.

What will you get from this network?

You will get targeted links and direct traffic to your content. You decide what content to promote, what anchor terms you want to promote and other web masters will promote your content on their sites. The harder you work promoting other web masters content, the more your content will be promoted by others.

The end result will be more search engine and direct traffic to the content you promote, which is worth much more to you than this network will cost to be part of. You will also make genuine connections with other web masters, just like you, trying to promote their content to make more money from their sites.

Is this selling buying Links? Will I get in trouble from Google?

No this isn’t selling and buying of links. You don’t have to link to or promote any sites you don’t want to. And no one has to promote your sites if they don’t wish to. This network is simply a medium to share with other webmasters the content you have which you want targeted anchored links to. You are under no obligations what so ever to promote any particular content. RT the creator of the site has gone to great effort to develop a network that is both useful to web masters and that abides by all of the Google quality guidelines. So no, I wouldn’t think you will get in any trouble by Google or any other search engine for promoting your content on this network. However, as with anything, these things are often some what of a gray area, and nothing can be guaranteed. Having said that, I am using the network myself, so I have confidence that it is not in any breech of Google’s quality guidelines.
