8. Start a blog and submit it to the 100’s of free blog directories.
How it works: Submission to any directory can result in some of those directory sites passing their PR on to your site.
Pro: Free. Third Party publishers that “leech” content off RSS feeds sometimes post your entries with your links intact.
Con: This opens you up to RSS hijackers which scrape your content and strip your links. You can protect yourself from this by setting up your blog to publish only summaries. This setting is in the “READING” section of WP setup. RSS feed hijacking can get so bad that the thieves sometimes rank higher than you for the keywords of your entry!

7 . Give an unbiased testimonial on a product/service that you have used in exchange for a backlink to your site.
How it works: Highly popular or established product pages will have Page Rank. By posting your domain on their site they pass some of this PR to you.
Pro: Free.
Con: To get full SEO benefits, the product/service must be somewhat related to the niche/category of the site you are building links for. Finding relevant high page rank product/service sites can be time consuming. You are filtering for a) category b) Page Rank and c) do follow. Thankfully, there’s some tools that can make this task easier.

5. Write a press release and submit it to www.PRWeb.com .
How it works: PRWeb has a Pagerank of 7 and it passes on some of its page rank to links embedded in the categorized press releases published on its site.
Pro: Fast and relatively easy way to get a backlink from a trusted site. Not only do you get a backlink, your press release might be picked up sites that monitor PRWeb for category-specific releases.
Con: PRWeb is NOT free. The cheapest available package is $80. $80 for a backlink located on a site that has tons of other backlinks to other sites. To get full media distribution, you have to pay $360. You can get many more backlinks at cheaper rates from SEO linkbuilding services. However, periodic backlink building using PRWeb is probably a good idea to give new sites a good backlink start.

1. Create a profile on http://blogs.msdn.com and set up your signature to link to your site. - Page Rank 7
2. http://www.clipclip.org - Use Clipclip to create relevant groups (name your groups the same as your keywords) to your sites’ theme and then deeplink your sites’ pages with URLs and use many tags. Google will then quickly give you backlinks for each url AND tag that you use to describe your pages with. The links from clipclip are “nofollow” but they will be counted by G as backlinks and get you some traffic too.
3. http://www.ning.com - Go to ning and create your own FREE social network that is related to your site. Add forums and threads with deep links to your pages. Get friends and neighbors to join and have them add more photos, videos, forum threads etc. Google counts backlinks from ning almost immediately as its a massive social network.
4. http://www.simpy.com - Simpy is pretty well-known and quite huge too. Sign up and add deep link URLs with tags that match your keywords and, just like clipclip, the google will count all your urls and tags as backlinks.
