Default Tons of BackLinks

I have noticed that some websites that have thousands of backlinks to their site. How are people doing this when their site is only a few years old.

Social Networking is a good method. Profiles and blog posts.. Maybe some still have reciprocal links. Are you talking about anyone in particular?

Jake's site has been around for quite a long time. 4 years is quite a while.

I think focusing on content has been decidedly better than focusing on backlinks. Try to go for quality links instead of quantity. Write some good blog posts and content and such and that should help you out quite a bit..

Some site have built them naturally others have paid for thousands of links. Most of the paid links are junk directories with little SEO value. You can however pay popular local directories and organizations like your chamber of commerce for links. Many of these can be good links but pretty damn expensive. How much is your time worth?

jeffzane,

Do everything you've mentioned. There's good in doing it all - directories, social bookmarking, article distribution, forum posting and blogging. Just be consistent and make sure everything is quality. A good article can get 100s of links - Nick's right - it's about quality, but IMO consistency comes second.

Just try to make all of your efforts meaningful. Some links are better than others; you'd want to get 10 quality on topic links as opposed to 100 or even 1000 crap links.

Just keep plugging away and the links will follow.
