Obtaining high quality links to your website is vital to search engine optimization. Here are ten ideas for finding the links that will ensure your link building campaign is successful.

1. Write guest blog posts – there are quality blogs that exist for nearly any topic you could think of. Pick a few that relate to your industry and find out if they accept guest bloggers. Writing guest blog posts allows you develop content and links that relate to the search terms you are focusing on.
2. Become a sponsor – there are probably some events in your area that relate to your industry and are always looking for sponsors. Becoming a sponsor is an easy way to get these events to link to your website.
3. Join relevant organizations – many organizations will link to members from their website. Joining organizations that relate to your industry will allow you to get quality 'back links' from quality websites.
4. Announce job postings – if you’re hiring, there are so many options for getting great links. Let people know about the openings you have, and they will spread the word for you. Also, posting to job websites is quick, easy, and can be very rewarding in terms of links.
5. Examine past links – take a look at the links you have gotten in the past and where they are coming from. Links from blogs, news sites, or other websites that are frequently writing new content are great places to look for obtaining new links.
6. Write newsworthy press releases – news websites are generally pretty reliable, making them a good source for back links. By producing newsworthy content, you can influence the media to talk about you, generating quality links back to your website.
7. Submit to award websites – nearly every industry has awards that relate to it. Often times, winners, runners up, and nominees are linked to from the award websites. Submitting yourself to award websites will help you to get public recognition as well as links.
8. Post to forums – contributing to reputable forums will allow you to build your brand name and your expertise while allowing you to toot your own horn with a link to your website in your signature. You could also try to answer some questions in a FAQ section on your website and then link to relevant answers in forums.
9. Contribute to social networks – the idea behind social networking relates significantly to the sharing of information. Active involvement in social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn will allow you to distribute your content and make it easy for others to share it.
10. Write content that’s worth sharing – great content will not only help with on page SEO, but it also has the potential to generate a lot of links. Content that contains statistics, quality videos, or just good information is content that people will want to link to.
