Hello my lovely members:

After trying on some methods, I only use three methods to promote my sites and will continue using them. Of course I do not make much money but I got some traffic from these methods.

1. Directory submission
2. Article submission
3. Social bookmarking

1. Directory submission
Do not have to be old dirs, but good names (freelinks.com, dirsubmit.com), stay away from ntch.com, , or etc.

2. Article submission
Good articles directories that approve 95% of my articles.

3. Social bookmarking
mixx.com, digg.com, etc.

How about your methods? Can you please share some?

Thanks,

Have a good day!

A quick, practical update to the discussion started by and picked up by and others: tactics that were primarily about bulk directory, article or bookmarking submissions can still send clicks, but modern search systems are tuned to ignore or neutralize links created mainly to manipulate rankings. Large-scale, low-quality link campaigns are treated as link spam and can be costly if relied on as an SEO strategy. (developers.google.com)

If the goal is sustainable organic visibility, focus on link quality and diversity rather than sheer quantity. The number of unique referring domains correlates more strongly with organic traffic than raw backlink counts — a few editorial links from relevant, authoritative sites beat dozens of low-value links from the same domain. That answers : diversify where links come from and prioritize real editorial placements, not mass submissions or reciprocal link schemes. (help.ahrefs.com)

Invest the time you might spend on bulk submissions into on-page and content work: clear title tags and headings, original helpful content that shows experience/expertise/authoritativeness/trust, structured data where useful, and solid page experience (Core Web Vitals and mobile-first performance). These are durable foundations that help pages earn links naturally and hold rankings when algorithms change. This echoes and ’s notes about on-page factors. (developers.google.com)

To be pragmatic: treat directories/bookmarks as distribution for immediate traffic, not as your primary link-building plan; use clear anchor text and accessible labels (the title attribute is a UX/accessibility hint, not a ranking shortcut). Monitor outcomes in Search Console and GA4, watch the Links and Manual Actions reports, and remove or disavow only clearly harmful, spammy links. That approach minimizes risk and builds a link profile that search engines will reward over time. (developer.mozilla.org)

It is gud habit to put genuine title attribute on the links..

it helps to search engine to know more about the link.. and also makes the site more user friendly ..

There are many other factors such as page titles, headers, anchor text, alt-tags for images, keyword density...

My list of SEO tactics:
1. Articles and Press-releases
2. Blog posts (not signatures)
3. Forum posts
4. Social news

I don't pay too much attention to other methods.

Member Avatar for bethennyengland

I practice the same methods; other ways are commenting on blogs, definitely social bookmarking sites, lastly, creating unique and valuable content for your site.

I think this all above methods are part of off page SEO factors now its time to do some Onpage work.. I suggest that after doing this you should also have to focusing On page optimization(meta tags )
