Over the past few years, Link development on the whole has slowly become an obsolete form of search engine optimization, as the major search engines of today simply disregard people's attempts at shoddy linkbaiting on directory listings with endless amounts of links which are not relevant to their own website.
These days if you want to get noticed, you have to not expect to fool major search engines into thinking that your website has higher value than others that are trying to achieve the exact same goals as you are. No, instead you must learn to develop your traffic, seeking out real human beings that will actually care about the content that you produce. Aim for obtaining real traffic and not just backlinks. Stop aiming for the affections of a mathematical computation and aim for commendations from breathing individuals.
Out with the Old, In with the New
Sending out lots of reciprocal link emails explaining to webmasters how SEO works and how linking to your new website can help them in the search engines will not get you anywhere! If anything, you will be penalised for such acts and more importantly, this is spam and you won't be doing your reputation many favours.
Instead, find sites that are along the same lines as your own site's topic, but are missing apposite information that you provide on your site. You can also market your article on these sorts of sites by creating an angle to merge with their topic and also give them a linkback, so that it is beneficial to them. Before you do this however, I recommend you email the webmaster beforehand to let them know that you are linking them with your brand new article. Hopefully, they will be more than happy to provide a link to your article if it is in the boundaries of what I have discussed.
Give it a try, more than definitely you will ascertain new friendships with other bloggers or webmasters interested in similar topics to you and building strong, healthy relationships is a major key to your website's success. You can also check out my article on Reciprocal Links to gain a better understanding of how this technique is such a great form of traffic development.
