Killer Link Building Strategies at a4u Expo

a4u Expo was my favourite conference of 2008 and this year it’s bigger than ever. Based in Londons ExCeL and with more useful actionable tips than most other conferences a4u is a great event to attend.

At 9.30am on Day 2 I’m speaking alongside Christoph C. Cemper, Lyndon and Jon Myers about Killer Link Building Strategies.

The conference costs £349 for affiliates but you can get 10% off using the code SPKD10.

The official description is below but my talk will be quite specific and will explain the key steps to link building success and look at some case studies of affiliate link building success.

Want to learn how to build high-value link targets and how to acquire them? This is becoming more and more important with the recent changes on Google. This session will help you understand the different types of links that are available today to acquire, and share some of the best ways to make sure you get them.

We will help you understand the blend of links required to succeed be it government, university or the theories behind the so called “paid link”. Tools tips and tricks will be all shared in this session along with the panellist vast and varied experiences.

Link building is hard enough for “real” websites but for affiliates with few real life business relationships to leverage for links it can be extremely challenging. Without a scalable link building strategy most affiliate sites will be dead in the water.
