OK so I have a legitimate site that receives 150 unique visitors a day. Problem is 25% comes from 1 source, 25% comes from another source and the rest is random. I have been working on my SEO for months but am lackins quality backlinks, therfore have a low google PR. Any feedback or success stories when it comes to quality link buildng?

Good starting point. already has something few sites do: regular visitors and two strong referrers. That proves there are places willing to send traffic. Several replies (for example and ) correctly point to content and off-site work, but the thread mostly lists tactics without a prioritized, sustainable plan or cautions about risky shortcuts. Chasing a public "PR" number or paying for links is not a reliable strategy and can lead to penalties — focus on earning editorial, relevant links that drive real sessions and conversions rather than raw link counts (see Google on link schemes).

High-impact, repeatable approaches missing from the thread:

  • Build one or two genuinely linkable assets tied to the site niche (original data, long-form guides, free tools, templates).
  • Use an outreach play that copies and improves on pages already earning links (the "skyscraper" approach) and reach the people linking to those pages first (Skyscraper technique).
  • Use broken-link and mention-reclamation tactics to convert existing opportunities into editorial links (see a practical guide on broken-link building: Ahrefs broken link building).

Practical checklist to act on now:

  1. Run a backlink/referrer audit with Search Console or an SEO tool and list the top referring pages and domains.
  2. Pick one linkable-asset idea that matches the successful referrers' angle.
  3. Produce the asset and create a targeted outreach list of 30-50 relevant pages (resource pages, editorial posts, industry sites).
  4. Pitch with personalized value (mention the exact page that would benefit). Also reclaim unlinked mentions and fix broken links you find.
  5. Track outcomes by referral sessions and goal conversions, not toolbar PR.

Priority = quality + relevance + persistence. Short, low-value mass tactics rarely scale; editorial links that bring referral traffic are what moves the needle.

You need to focus on off page optimization, only it can help you to increase traffic to your site

The fact that you're getting a good amount of your traffic from external sources is a good start. It means that you are starting to get other sites linking to you. Build up relationships with other sites that cover similar topics to your own but aren't your competition. Not only will you get traffic from each site, but it'll raise your Google pagerank as well. It's never good to have all your eggs in one basket.

I think you should optimize few effective keywords and promote it effectively. You should also go on adding fresh content.

HI,

I would suggest to use web2.0 sites like hubpages and squidoo. Those sites are also quite great resources to get some quality backlinks.

150 unique visitors per day is a good start. If you already done with on-page optimization, then you now focus on off-page optimization. Get more backlinks, much better if you can get backlinks from sites with pr already.

Add more quality contents to your site. Content is always king. Build quality links by doing forum posting, social bookmarking, article submission and exchanging links with relevant sites with high PR and traffic.

do some social bookmarking service
build your links in do-follow blog
and add your link to forum signature
yahoo answer
try to make your link everywhere
so your website pr will up

There are more reasons we can say for this case. Use dofollow forum,blog comments to build back links,Distribute your website into more directories to get more targeted customers.Social bookmarking will help you to get good google rank.Now a days social media promotion and social networking gets more preference in SEO.

Hi
Tap to your niche!!
If you have a B-2-B site, tap to those professional social networks, like LinkedIn. Answer questions and include your company's name and url on your profile. Create a page for your company. LinkedIn has a very PR.

I'm Currently recieving almost 300 unique vistors a day, I'm also in the market to exchange links.. My sight is also legit, No false advertisement.. So if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated! And I've Learned there are ways to increase your pr, But you have to pay!!!!!!!
