Thanks Rento

I'll try that method, I'd only tried paid links up 'till now.

The most efficient link building strategy involves an array of things. It consists of article marketing and pointing the links back to the sub pages and silos of your website. This will allow your site to rank highly for the lesser searched terms which in turn, will up your rankings for your general keyword over time. You cannot rank highly for a general term UNLESS you rank for the smaller ones first.

Try to keep link trading relevant with other sites in your industry and then start to branch out with other sites. I use article marketer for my article links, linkmetroto run my directory, and linkmarketto trade links. I find linkmarket has better quality sites. In fact they do, it's not just my opinion. Remember, use your keyword you want to rank for as the anchor text in your link trading.

I have to add my two pence worth regarding article links:

I've been primarily an Adsense site builder for the past year and a half, affiliate marketing is new for me BUT with my Adsense sites, I would submit articles to get the ball rolling for my sites with great success. Article marketing is mandatory IMO.

Link Directories and LinkMetro are my other tools.

If you can find relevant blogs, go and make a comment on them. Spend a few seconds working out what the post is about before posting and then make a decent comment. Don't spam them or you'll just get your links deleted.

I think it's also easier if you email potential link partners and offer to link to them first if they reply to the email. Saves so much time adding links, then deleting them when you don't get a reply.
