Connecting to web masters, or investing in blog networks to build links, as I mentioned in the post "2
extreme SEO strategies that will help you rank... immediately" might be a little pricey, or worst - boring...
they sure work better than almost anything, yet you might have hard times with them, which is why I
decided to point out some extraordinary creative ways to build links. You will know see SEO might even
be fun.
1 Interview Experts
How do you build links by doing that?
Pretty easy actually - every expert have a site, after you interview them you can simply ask them to share
your interview with their audience, or even tweet, or post it on Facebook. Most times people would love
sharing it and you will be able to build a lot of links.
And the good thing is everybody wants popularity, meaning almost all the experts you ask for an
interview will gladly agree to give it.

To build links using
quizzes and not get frown upon by Google you have to follow these steps:
- The quiz has to be related to your website
- The quiz should not contain rich anchor text - at the end of every quiz, you have a section showing your
score... and the way to do that is by displaying an embeddable badge that doesn't contain rich anchor text.
The anchor text should be the name of the quiz.
- Link to your quiz page - the badges should link to your quiz page instead of your home page.
Quizzes are a cool and fun way to build links. People love them and it is very likely that they would share
them.
3 Personalized videos
The best example is Elf
Yourself... I'm sure you have seen that famous elf dancing all over the net, having thousands of different

faces. What people did was uploaded a picture of their faces and then JibJab created an elf video out of it.
At the end of each video you had an option for sharing. According to Open Site Explorer, Elf Yourself
has over 10,000 links.
What you want to do here is come up with an awesome video concept that would let people personalize
their videos. You will be amazed how many links you will be able to build leveraging this method...
people love videos, when they are funny and amusing they would share them without even thinking.
4 Scholarships
This right here is one
sweet approach to build the so wanted EDU links. Gotta say this strategy is my personal favorite. You
need several hundred dollars (depends on you) and works like this:
you create a scholarship (let's say 1 000 dollar such) that you would give to one student. Then you notify
all the colleges that have a marketing department about it and they display it on their sites. The result is a
lot of EDU links and one 1 000 dollar richer student.
The key point here is to make real campaigns, and not just lie to get backlinks. This is major important,
you have to give money each year and may be help out the winner in some way.

Now you are probably thinking: yeah right, if it was that easy to make them I
would be rich by now.
Well you will not get rich off of this strategy, yet you would get some natural easy links. And it is not that
difficult to pull it off. For the purpose you better have somebody run the page for you, or at least help you
with it, because to make a FB page viral, you will have to put some time and effort.
The way to do it is by creating a page about something people really enjoy, take a look at some already
viral pages and you will get an idea. Then post relevant material regularly. To get it going use like
exchange sites, empireavenue, fiverr, or any other method you find that works.
Once you get about 2000 likes, it will be a lot easier to grow your audience. There is a much bigger
chance for people to like your page when it already has some votes.
After this it is all about posting awesome content and stimulating people to like and share.
It might take you some more time if you don't have money to buy FB PPC likes, or to promote your
posts. But you will get there . Social media are all about posting fun, interesting content.
6 Create awesome listgraphics
I posted a listgraphic about "101 ways to advertise your business" the other day and have to tell you it got
me some serious traffic from all over the web. In future I might push it a bit and add an embedding option
to be able to get some more backlinks.
listgraphics are the same as infographics, only you create them using lists. They are very easy to make
and extremely powerful for building links, as lists are very readable.
7 Give away swag
People enjoy gifts, and when you start giving bloggers such, they would not only like you more, but they
might start writing about you, and linking to your site.
One person who talks about all the free stuff he gets is shoemoney. Every Friday he takes a picture of him
wearing a new t-shirt that someone gave him. He then blogs about the shirt and links back to the company
who gave him the shirt.
So start giving stuff away. T-shrts, hats, pens... whatever you think of, just do it and you will start getting
all those links to get to page one of Google eventually.

8 Add interesting facts and stats at the end of posts for people to tweet...
the same way I did right at the end of my color infographic post.
Use clickttoweet.com for making it easy for your readers to tweet those awesome stats by just one click.
That's what twitter is all about - short and awesome facts and stats. People would love tweeting cool
things.
9 Infographics
they are a must and I discussed how to build links using infographics in the post "Backlinking Gangsta
Style"
As you can see there are numerous ways to build links and become awesome online. The key is to get
creative and of course pull out some cash to invest. :)
