Comment on Base links – what are they? by Sean

I always look to base links that you listed above as a first step in link building. Once the main domain and major categories are linked, it’s time to switch gears. It’s always good to have a balanced mix of links. Going forward, I don’t feel free directories and some paid directories will have much value. I see the importance of these links falling a bit in the near future.

Yahoo Site Explorer certainly offers some great data, especially if you access the API.

We monitor competitor backlinks with Yahoo! Site Explorer or an equivalent on a daily basis.

Fair point. Co-mingling of links shouldn’t be a major problem so long as you don’t stick all your links on the same source everytime.

I agree with all the items but #7 – unless you’re linking within the set of domains, it should be more than to co-mingle links.. . afterall, most search engines don’t punish you for off site actions (for obvious reasons).

PS: I never ever want to make anyone get the feeling of “self loathing” but I think you mean that with love. : )
