Guest Post By Zach Hunt

I really do enjoy websites, they work for you, they don’t complain and they don’t require anything in return, well after the initial setup that is.

I mean, besides the like $10 a month on hosting fees and $10 a year for domain registration they run on auto-pilot all day long, and even work the weekends for you, that’s why I like to make it my PRIMARY marketing medium by far. While I certainly believe it is a good practice to have multiple marketing mediums, paid advertising, mailings, speaking, lead-boxes, etc.

Having a well optimized and well-done website is like a breath of fresh air knowing you’ll get a consistent source of new clients without any additional work.

And if you want to really make sure your websites rank high, stay high and rank for a ton of keywords you have to have consistent and quality link building…however, the way most people do it – forum links, commenting on random blogs, and whatever else, that’s not gonna get you anywhere, check this out on how I go about link building…

Link building is one of those often misunderstood phenomenon often left to the dust and underutilized.

Take a look at this list on some common link building practices…

1. Directory Submissions
2. Social Bookmarking
3. Video Submissions
4. Stumble Upon Submissions
5. Article Submissions
6. Buying Text Links
7. Creating Squidoo, Hub, Zimbio Pages and other like it
8. Blog Commenting
9. Forum Posting
10. Forum Signatures
11. Answering Online Questions
12. Review Site Exchanges
13. Creating Viral Tools / Apps
14. Write for other blogs
15. Having good content
16. Buying directory links
17. Blog / Website Submissions
18. Automated Link Programs
19. Anchor Link Spamming
20. Link Exchange programs

And the list goes on, what works, what doesn’t and what’s a waste of time. Through my years as a programmer, fitness guy and whatever else, I’ve had a chance to test pretty well all these methods and more and really here’s what I’ve come up with.

Focus on 2-3 main ways of building links and do them consistently.

For example in a recent Market Annihilator video I go over exactly how I build a consistent stream of 920-1290 new links each month without me doing a thing. Kinda nice and relaxing. Not only do I consistently raise the ranking of a bunch of pages of my website, but I also ensure that my top rankings stay on the top.

You never know when you have someone who actually figures out what their doing and tries to outrank you.

These systems don’t take a whole lot of work, I have about 3-5 people who each do a little bit of work for me and manage all these for me on their own. Another example of some Proven Link Building systems I have generates about 400+ links for me a month using just a simple method. The only thing is with this most people do it wrong.

The point is you don’t need to waste time with a bunch of fancy techniques just focus on the simple ones that work (as long as you do them right and do them regularly). There are certainly a whole lot more than just the ones listed above, but there’s only about 5 to 7 methods that I implement on a regular basis.

Trust me a while back i bought this program which had like 17 steps to it, i watched all the videos, bought all these programs that the videos mentioned, used them to submit all these links to tools directories and bunch of other nonsense and I still have yet to see anything worthwhile from them. So to save you bunch of time and effort, check this out…
