although content is critical, I always say the relationships are king. the content is just one of the things you use online to do that. I outsource a lot of link building myself, however I still recommend networking and building direct relationships with people in your niche, especially other bloggers. The best traffic I get isn’t from SEO, its from the direct relationships that I have built with people on other niche related sites.

In my case, i focus on creating quality articles to be posted in my blog and then hire link builders at odesk.com. I prefer doing this way since content is really the king especially now that google updated their algorithm.

Hey James, sorry but I’m a little slow sometimes… Are you saying that if I get Website Traffic Secrets now, I’ll automatically get the new version when it’s released?

Don’t feel bad Paul. This is a trap that many people fall into. I did, and woke up one day to realize that I was working too hard. I thought writing high quality content and posting it on other high quality sites would take too much time. Then, I realized that i was wasting just as much time on worthless sites.

Once you focus your link building on quality content, and learn how to maximize your time, it is much easier.

I realized early on that I was wasting time with low quality sites. Honestly, by writing high value content, cross linking them, and bookmarking them, I find that I don’t need to waste time on lower quality sites. I get more traffic, and my rankings are better than they were before.

Personally, I look at the traffic that I get directly from the links that I build first. If the link is worth having, it is worth taking the time to use high quality content. That doesn’t mean that I use totally original content for everything. I do spin articles for some submissions, but they are so well spun that you would never know that it was spun content.
Thanks for coming by. I am always glad to hear other opinions even if they disagree with mine.

I think that for some sites, “crap content” works for building links. I prefer to write less but higher quality articles, then actually promote the articles themselves so that they get better SERPs, higher PR, and more direct traffic, making them more valuable backlinks.

James, Enjoy your take on building traffic to your site. Rather than focus on shortcuts or “gaming” the system you focus on delivering quality content and helpful information. This contrasts with a lot of the other “crap” out their and creates its own momentum of readers. Quality should always come first.

That is my own motto. Deliver quality content, engage my own readers and engage in conversations already in place online in my niche industry. I too focus on keywords I know I can rank higher for that aren’t so competitive.
