According to Matts Cutt
The hot news these days is links, to link or not to link that is the question. After Google’s call to all webmasters requesting the reporting of paid links coming in and being counted by Google.com. There are a few big questions arising from this call out. 1. What about relevant reciprocals? 2. What about paid directories?
According to Matt’s Cut Google is trying hard to encourage webmasters to depend on natural links more so then any other type of links.
Natural links are created by people enjoying the contents on your website and then linking to it as a resource.
The big question on everyone's mind is: How do you get natural links when you have no visitors. Matt asks and addresses the same question with a couple different options.
Ironically, Matt recommends using text link brokers! He forwards that these links will eventually be picked up by Google, however it will give your site enough juice to get going to the stage where natural links are obtainable.
Going back to the previous articles regarding the Google’s News Release - they are now requesting webmasters to direct them to these types are links so they can discount this. Confused? So was I. However I see Mats point. He is simply stating that Google is going after the large culprits. Paid Directories offering 1,000's of links to a client’s site for one low price, the smaller sources of links are still safe for now.
"You can also get links by joining "Link-Exchanges" or similar groups of sites that link to each other - however, Google and the other search engines have gotten very good at spotting those (because they are easy to spot) and they have been devaluated and could even cause harm to your site. " (Matt’s Cutt)
"You can of course also work on getting text links yourself, by contacting webmasters of sites that are similar enough to merit a link to your site and asking them for a link. In the beginning, you might want to concentrate on high-PR sites, since they bring the most "bang for the buck". "
So what’s the solution to your link issues? I think I have a clue. We need to understand that Google did not decrease the value of a good link; instead they made it much harder to accommodate a good link :) With this in mind we need to focus on increasing our PR by a combination of link bait, article submission and of course increasing internal linking through additional content.
