Not everyone know this, but there are actually 3 types of linkbuilding strategies and some of you might use them to help promote your blog.
Type 1: Organic Linkbuilding
As the name implies, this is an organic type of linkbuilding. Meaning you don't use any method of trying to acquire links from anyone. The only "artificial" way of getting links that are organic is actually through guest post. Surprised? No, inviting guest post a little bit like inviting someone to your house and leaving a name for himself. (That sort of thing) So it is considered organic to write guest post for people and they leave a link back to your blog.Type 2: Semi-Organic Linkbuilding
Types of link building methods under semi-organic are things like link exchange submitting your article to some website. or even directory listing. These type of semi-organic linkbuilding doesn't always work for you unfortunately. You should check out one of my post on "10 things you should do to get removed from search engine listing". There are factors to consider before attempting those methods. Will be explained in detail in my next few post.
Type 3: Artificial Linkbuilding
These are artificial methods of linkbuilding. They don't necessary fall under the category of black-hat, rather, you have complete control of where you want your link to appear in. Things like forum posting, they will allow you to leave a signature of your link. However that ain't always work, you will have to read the terms and condition before doing so. Some forums don't allow links in signatures. There are also blog comments, social bookmarking, and profile linkbuilding.
As usual, these methods doesn't always work and if you over do it. You will be considered as a link spammer and will be considered as a black hat method which could risk your site being removed by search engine listings.
