Pete, this is an exceptional post. In Marketing 101 we are taught the four Ps of "traditional" outbound marketing (product, price, place, promotion). What you have defined here are the four Ps of inbound marketing — Profiles (directories, social networks), Publishing (articles, optimized press releases, etc.), Participation (in blogs, forums, social networks) and Publishing (great, multi-media content). And yes, I know Publishing is in there twice, but it's that important. Inbound marketing comes down to continually publishing great content. Nice work!
Thanks Paul. I agree that "publishing" deserves a second mention. Did you just make this 4 P thing up? I think that'd be a good guest post.
Pete - this is great. Not enough people break down the ideas we're all hearing about into actionable plans. WRT SEO'ing your articles and releases, how many marketers have been able to "train" their existing agencies on doing this, versus finding a new PR agency that takes a more comprehensive social media approach? Is it worth it, if you have?
The other thing that would be so helpful for this guide... Time estimates, especially for the underclassmen. For example, when you transition to HS, there's an emphasis on time management, guiding students on how long they should spend reading, studying, etc. This transition to link building can be overwhelming; there's so much noise and so many distractions. Should you set aside a window of time, a certain amount of it each day? Or a certain number of comments or posts or links that you try to achieve each day? Should you designate some percentage of a headcount on your marketing team for just this? (I see that HubSpot is hiring a FT person just for this, so I guess I know what the answer is!) That gives a real target for people.
Thanks so much for doing this. Really interesting stuff...
Great questions, Katie.
I'm not the best guy to talk to about time management. I get distracted easily. (I'm in sales actually, so I should be calling people instead of using Twitter and writing blog posts.)
But, in principle, what you're suggesting about time management is necessary. It seems that people "never get started w/ link building" because they have a million other things to do.
There are some smart people at HubSpot trying to make it easier for our clients to do link building on a regular basis. But, at the end of the day, the marketer or biz owner has to have some discipline to create content, interact w/ people online and build links.
Re: training a traditional PR firm to do online PR, I start by sending them to
Press Release Grader. I have one client/partner who is an SEO consultant and she works with a traditional PR company who is very good at traditional stuff. The SEO consultant does keyword research, guides blogging content production, reviews press releases, and runs social media marketing w/ traditional agency oversight.
I think teaching old dogs new tricks is hard, personally. But, sometimes it is necessary. Traditional agencies still add a lot of value with TV, event, print and radio exposure.
Paul Roetzer wrote a really cool article the other day called,
The Dawn of the Inbound Marketing Agency.
At HubSpot, we're seeing a lot of demand from traditional agencies who want to "learn internet marketing". I think they'll need to adapt or at least broaden their offerings to include online marketing, if they want to survive.
Katie,
I saw your comment and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents there, too. Time management is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for most of our clients when it comes to adopting new techniques and procedures for marketing. I recently posted an interview with Lee Erickson, founder of Erickson Barnett, who had some strong comments about this. She said, "It has to come from the top down. If management doesn't believe in it, then client work will always come first." This conviction led them to restructure several roles internally, including her own, in order to support some of the strategic initiatives that they wanted to adopt.
You can read the interview here, but I think they serve as a great example of a B2B that was willing to
fully invest in these new marketing strategies.

Interesting round up guys! Thanks for the link back to my SBM link bait article.
I am still learning a lot about SEO, so this article is great for me. Can anyone reccommend a good place to look for the directories you mentioned in the 9th grade section?
@Abby. Are you a client? Our internet marketing training program provides a nice list of directories worth spending time/money on.
Interesting you have mentioned "law of attraction" in your post. Recently I have decided to intend for one major / high traffic blog to link to my website each week. Last week, one of our blog posts got picked up by another blog that drove more than 500 people to our website in 2 days. That is independent of the regular traffic we get.
This was my blogging law of attraction experiment.
Networking has worked surprisingly well too, but it took months to get to the right people. Most people who are networking are not into online marketing. Networking in the tech crowd seemed to be most effective for generating links.
Interesting feedback, May. I've had the same experience. Networking amongst internet marketers, tech crowd and a few other categories through blogs and linking back and forth is prevalent. But, I've noticed that a lot of other industries don't get it. I think it's part of our job to educate people that we all will succeed when we collaborate. I get a lot of resistance amongst my clients when I try to get them to help each other. Their typical excuse is that "he's a competitor - even though there in two different parts of the country" OR "they target a slightly different market than I do" or "why would I want to talk to someone who isn't my target client".
In business, collaboration isn't always the modus operandi. And you certainly wouldn't collaborate on traditional marketing or biz dev unless it was very mutually beneficial. But, when it comes to the web and blogging and seo, it's certainly true that collaboration makes everybody more successful, especially the people we're all trying to help. I think the web is slowly teaching the world this lesson. But, I think it's going to take a while for it to kick in - atleast in most industries.
@Abby, you can do a search for all the links a website has by typing into Google
site: mywebsite.com
(make sure to put a space after the colon) using whatever url you want. You should do this for a competitor or a similar website in your industry and geographic region to show what kind of inbound links they are getting and see if you can submit your own url. Some of my free favorites are:
AboutUs
Minority Professional Network
LinkedIn
StartupNation Marketplace
Kellysearch
Delicious
xomreviews
DMOZ
Excellent! Excellent! I keep telling people that the strategy is not as difficult as they think, but most people are too ill informed or procrastinate taking action. Another challenge is that many folks don't have their act together enough yet, in the form of compelling content, to begin driving all this traffic to their site. it should come easy for multi-taskers who can crank out magnet content and execute on the linking and networking strategy. Another really big thing is time, you cannot shortcut the process as the author said, unless you are already famous. This takes time and commitment.
Excellent post, and I enjoy following your blog!
Pete- Great list you put together and I like how you structured it in grade levels. I think one of the most important parts of your post is when you mention the importance of developing real relationships with others through networking. The importance of this is brought up often but I don't think that some really take it to heart. But, this is a common need whether online or in-person. Meaningful networking is extremely important.
These are great - simple, straightforward and most importantly, very effective. Well done!

I'd like to suggest people use your website grader to track their progress. It has been a tremendous help for us to determine what we need to do and how we are doing vs. our competitors. We have 10 times more inbound links than some of our competitors who have been around much longer.
I have no idea how, but my blog has over 26,000 inbound links already. I must be doing something right. ;)
Thanks for the great article. Very helpful. Hope to increase my links at
www.grafsata.com.
Good post.. hopefully this will help my site break the 80% score on website grader.
I find my Drupal sites are a little different then sites not built on a CMS
good post, i've found it very useful
Thanks for the follow-up article. Who would've thought creating links could be such an art...
Great post. Good to see someone saying it how it is . . . there are so many cowboys out there offering impossible quick fixes for a few hundred quid.
I like this idea, i use website grader loads and I have learned a lot and helped loads of other people with sites make changes for their sites... thank you!

Good articles.

Good information to increase traffic.
thank you for your great tips.i've hired a seo company in greece for my hotel, and the same time building my own second webpage with my own seo,so i hope i can compare the results and not spend so mucu money for no reason.
This was one of the most helpful articles about linking to other websites. I will start over at 9th grade and see what i can do over the next year or so.
Always useful information on this site and this one is no different
This is a great article and extremely informative. We are new to this style of promotions and found it very helpful to have your insight. Burrell Colour is just beginning to tackle how we can draw more attention to our Optical Printing, Digital Printing & Film Development website. Thanks!

Excellent article. A client of mine turned me onto Hubspot. I have been reading through your website to see if your services are something which may benefit my clients. I am impressed so far! As a Website & Multimedia developer, SEO is always an issue, yet not something we always excel at - so I thank you for your recommendations.

Thanks for this fantastic tool, I love it and use it very reguarly!
Extremely useful post on link building Pete! I like how you broke down the details into the 4 high school grade levels.
You are so right when it comes to newbie internet marketers thinking they can have an immediate impact with a blog. Patience, persistence and putting time into it on an ongoing basis is key. It is just like traditional networking...creating good and lasting business relationships take time to build. The same principle applies to blogging, except it is online and not face to face.
One thing we all can do as we are educating our clients is to teach them how to find these conversations in the blog posts. By using a simple tool such as Google alerts, it allows us to see exactly who, what , when, and where conversations are about and they can be proactive in the betterment of their link building strategies.

Very good post Pete! I have to agree. It can sometimes feel overwhelming when a client looks at the number of inbound links it is going to take to make them competitive online for their keywords. By taking this approach and breaking it down into smaller "grades", I feel it will be perceived as something more attainable. I also hope that more clients begin to realize the importance of blogging and other social media to their SEO and SEM efforts.
Very nice post. Not only have you given us a very clear step by step approach for link building but also great advice. Be persistent, strive for quality and build relationships.

Great information. How do I know when I am ready to move to the next Grade? Is there a magic number to know when to go from grade 9 to 10?
Alan
Great question, Alan.
You should know when it's time to move up a grade. Once you've mastered all the activities of that grade, it's time to move on to the next. Kinda like math, though, you're always using the stuff you learned the year before. You should never stop building 9th grade links. They're the easy ones and they still bring value.
Thanks for the information. I am still new to seo but everyday I find something new to look into.

You have written a great article. I think the best way to build links is writing controversial content. Then people will link to it. Make that page have only one outbound link so you save page rank. I don't know about press relesaes anymore though.
@unlocked GSM (did your mamma give you that name?)
I think that writing controversial stuff is one way to get traffic, assuming people are paying attention to you first. But, I think an over-reliance on that is not healthy. Especially for business bloggers. It can sometimes do more harm than good.
Optimized press releases definitely work.
thank you so much for this post. i would do a more in depth comment, but my appreciation is beyond additional comments.
i am currently struggling with linkbuilding. i hadn't ever learned it before and i am in a situation where i need to preform all four grades at once. i'm a little stressed, but i look forward to the challenge. thank you for posting that learning linkbuilding can take years (i read on one blog that one SEO learned linkbuilding in like 18 days because that is ALL that h/she did)... knowing that it's not as easy as everyone makes it out to be (sometimes i feel like i should be just getting this overnight and i'm not so that adds to my stress) gives me some relief.
thank you for the post and the helpful suggestions :)
Thanks for the article and we will begin finding ways to get more inbound links
Hi,
Great info for new comer in SEO
Thanks,
http://www.sba7o.com
This is a really great read.
I'm new to link building, so a big take-away for me here is the prioritisation of
other activities (e.g. create a business blog before tackling 10th grade).
Thanks.

Hi Pete
Thanks for great information. I wish I've read this a long time ago - it certainly would have made my life easier!
Keep up the good work!

Very nice article and useful too.
I just started blogging 2 months ago and one of the intention is to make money from blogging. There are sometime too many information for me to grasp and understand and
HubSpot.com really make my life easier by providing simple, easy to understand and straightforward info. Thanks!
I have learned a lot through this site. I appreciate all you do.
Thanks
I really enjoyed this article. I have been working on getting inbound links and am having great success thanks to your article.
Hi Pete,
Thanks for offering this comprehensive information although I think that you're being charitable by starting us from the point of high school. :)
I thought certain search engines, such as Google, were going to "penalize" sites for paid links. I realize that some "pay for inclusion" directories (e.g., BOTW) may be worthwhile. How about others?
Obviously, it would be best to garner links from free sites, but do you have a list of "paid sites" that would still provide search engine optimization benefit?
Thanks so much for any feedback!
Best Regards,
Andy Lax
http://www.intelli-collect.com
We do not recommend paying for links. The only time we'd say to pay for a link would be to buy one from a reputable directory such as Yahoo's.
If you are in doubt of what a reputable paid directory looks like, run it through http://website.grader.com and see what their score is. If it's 85+, it's probably a good site pay for inclusion.
Hi Pete,
Thanks so much for your timely response. I did not know about the Website Grader and this tool looks extremely useful.
I appreciate all your help!

Great resource. Love the content.. very professionally structured. This article thought me another technique that im not serious about all these days..
<a href="http://monetarytruths.blogspot.com/>Aish
helpful information.Eventually the thing which matters is the quality of content,otherwise building quality incoming links is not possible,at least not for free.
Aish sorry for the wrong html code
I enjoy testing my website to see my new score. It was fluxuating a bit but it is stablizing in the low 80s now. I hope to get it higher soon.
Thank you for this nice article. As SEO is becoming more and more of a profession of its own I welcome these articles.
Thanks for the tips, nice one.
Hi,
I absolutely agree with you about the newbies :-)
Some people simply are impatient and want immediate results... just like you said: after a month of writing, they almost give up because there is no immediate search engine traffic, etc.
Better and better!

I am new to marketing, Ive been in sales for a few years and have always been relatively successful without much effort. About a year ago I decided to try marking unique services, marketing is
a lot different than sales and web marketing is proving to be a new and scary experience. I never thought I would jump for joy when my website jumped from an average of about 1 hit per day to about 10 but that is the sad reality of staring with absolutely no experience or education.
Using the teqniques I have learned from the resources hubspot has provided has helped me jump from the average of 10 hits per day to about 100 (10 to 100 in three days makes me hopeful that this might really work out).
I appreciate the advice and the "high school" step format you have laid out in your blog.
If anyone would like to network, my website focuses in on retail gasoline, the effects of macro economics to the resulting retail price fluctuations, I would be more than happy to link swap if you have a related topic, process or service.

i'm new for study seo, many paper i has read for optimize my website. but i don't know, why google can't indexed my web for normally with my keyword ?
my web describe about bio necklace or bio infra red ray, in Indonesia called "kalung biofir". bio necklace can make your body health and protect for deseases without drug. life time guarantue products and original.
for more information click http://www.BiofirLife.com/
It is true that it is a very painstaking process - this link building thing - but this post is encouraging because it reinforces the notion that it takes time to build a successful blog, no matter how good the content.
Best article i have read in a long time! Plus all the links in the article are fantastic. I have some homework to do.
You really have done incredible job we therefore thank you a lot.
link building very useful for the improve the page rank
I think the social networks such a technorati, digg, stumbleupon still give pretty good bang for the buck. I also suggest using sites liked LinkedIn and facebook for link building.
Very nice blog i have learned from it and that is what matters.I didn't know how important it was to build links until i read your blog.
This post was written awhile ago, so not sure Pete reads the comments anymore, but here we go. I have a blog that links fairly well at the freshman level; scored an 18 when I began this and most recently a 67 and a PR2 so getting better. On marketwire; do we publish our best posts (i.e. 2007 compared to 2008 real estate sales for "X" City) like I would to DIGG or Carnival? I don't want to be on a street level when you are talking a 50,000 foot view. What types of publishing are we talking about?
Sorry if this is a basic question; just trying to go piece by piece through your post.
Hi Cindy,
Good question. You want your keyword research to drive your link building. If you're trying to rank for "real estate IN", you want to first optimize a page around that phrase by including the keyword in the page title, url ahd h1 tag. Then, when you write your press release, you want the anchor text of the link pointing to that page to be "real estate IN"
Thanks for give valuable information.
Thanks, very fresh and inspiring.
If you're doing the majority of things mentioned in your article how long should you give it for you websie's search engine ranking to improve?
I have a question, Last week I used the website grader and it reported nearly 1600 inbound links. This week, it just says N/A and my site has disappeared on Google for certain keywords. Any feedback on this?
I too show inbound links as N/A and my grade dropped from 73 to 59. I'm assuming it's because of the inbound link value as nothing else has changed. Anyone know what happened?
@David and Lisa. The place where we get the "link data" has not been reliable lately.
how can i get the inbound links, can anyone tell me dear
Great article, seems the best way is to gain inbound links is to provide good useful content that people want to read.
I have been using WSG for about a year now... I managed to get the Zerocarbonista blog up to 97% recently, and last month was our busiest month, what with all the UFO business. We have about 1000 inbound links, but today's report says N/A.
Is that anything to do with the google meltdown recently (you know - the one saying all sites might damage your computer)??
Great article to get going on link building.
Great article...I was just reading a couple sites with questionable link building tactics.

Thank you so much for this very informative posting.
Great post and info. I appreciate your comments about patience. Many expect this to happen overnight. Would they close the doors to their business if they didn't succeed overnight?
Thank you so much for the information, this is really helpfull.
listen nugoomfm 100.6 and chatting with others listenrs
I appreciate how you broke down the different aspects of link building into easily understandable sections. It was also good to be reminded that this all takes time and patience is key.
Adding links to other sites, blogs, and feeds works great. I hope I can get to a google rank of 4 soon which would be outstanding for a state level photographer.

Thanks for the SEO help. My big beef is with Yahoo! Directory. It's not okay to do link building or link farms, but Yahoo! can charge $299 annually to be in their directory? Come on! I'm sorry, but I won't be putting my site, which does
Reviews for Redding Restaurants, on Yahoo! anytime soon. BTW, even though Joe Ant and Aboutus.org charge, you can avoid the charge by VOLUNTEERING to edit.
Thanks for the lessons on link building. HubSpot is such a great company for educating us in the new world marketing of web 2.0. Thank you for all your value you add!
This is great! I think link building, back linking with targeted landing pages and keywords, as well as social media marketing and online viral marketing are essential to getting the word out about your website and online business. With so many PPC ads to compete with and such high expense for banner ads and offline advertising methods, SEO, inexpensive SEM, web 2.0 and viral, link building techniques are the best way to get more bang for your buck over the long wrong. You have to put a lot of initial effort in at first to generate link building campaigns, but once you have something to maintain and improve upon it will save online businesses a lot of time and money over the long-term. I've been trying out some of these methods on our company website,
Rubicon Marketing Group and so far our Website Grader score has gone up over 40% in the last couple weeks!
Haha "over the long wrong!" I'll have to remember that typo :-)
I wonder if posting comments with funny typos increases organic clicks to your website? I know that you can optimize your Adwords campaigns and meta tags by using some of the most popular typos that users make when they search the web. I'm sure something similar could be said about viral posts and social media campaigns.
Thanks for sharing this. It is informative. :)
It is so usefull to me,and I want to do it now!Thank you:)
Thanks for the great information. I will be working on your suggestions.

I am a big fan of websitegrader and use it almost daily. But I do have a question, not sure if I should put it here, if not sorry 'bout that.
Appearantly it is of value to be listed in ZoomInfo but this service still doesn't accept submissions; does websitegrader still weigh ZoomInfo with the grading?

I must say you folks practice what you preach.
Insanely helpful content, reports and website grader.
Yes there's a lot more to it than meets the eye, that's for sure.
For those bloggers you talk about who pack it up after a month, they just need to have their expectations set and their plan worked out.
Thanks agaian
What's amazing is how people over-complicate some of these processes. Whenever I hear of someone slaving for days over an article or press release, it boggles my mind.
I don't think life moves at the speed of sound or light anymore - it moves at the speed of content. Those who can keep up with the pace and demand for content are ultimately the ones who are going to be the most successful.
Great way of formatting the blog post too. It's a great way of tackling content creation.

Nice tips. I will start to implement some of the issues and ideas on the post, and see what hapens in the future....
It will be very pleasure if you give detailed backlink description with PR.
So, blogging will always be blogging, everyone always talks about "great content" but no one ever defines what makes great content.
Isn't it all in the eye of the beholder?
Thanks so much for the tips. Now to put them into action...
I've recently set up my site
www.easysudoksolver.com and I'm confused by what counts as a backlink in Google's eyes, Websitegrader says 1 Google says not and yet there are several links from Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon etc showing up in serps.
Any one got any ideas
this article is simply mindblowing, but i guess implementing the things you mentioned will take really long time and patience. Is there any shortcut way for doing this ?
Oh no, I'm a freshman... again. It's helpful, though, knowing that. Any estimates on how much money should be spent at each level? Directory fees? Other posting-type fees?
Great article. For a lifestyle, humorous blog without consistent keywords overall for the search engines, I'd love an article tailored to the non-business (but revenue...desiring) sites.
Thanks!
I have created a new website which gives <a href=http://www.markamoment.com>Daily Motivational thought for the day. You have been very helpful in this article.
Your website grader is not quite right. First, I am using DotNetNuke a popular .NET CMS. The blog module is NOT recognized by the grader.
However, it is recognizing a RSS feed as a blog and the site is getting credit from the articles on the feed. Nice, but probably NOT what the search engines really do.
Oh well.

Fantastic article, and we try to follow these practices wherever possible for our SEO campaigns for our customers. What I find hysterical is that so many people, particularly towards the bottom of the article have tried to hijack the page for link juice.
