I think Link building doesn't affect directly on PR but indirectly it affects boldly. That’s nice topic to discuss that Is Link building a PR function?

I would say that we move to more of a 20% link development and 80% content development split after about 4 to 5 months. I think this naturally happens as you work through all the low hanging fruit early on. We always try and focus most of our time on content development/link bait and work to grow links as organically as possible. Great stuff : ) Nicole,

Our small team probably spends 40% of the time writing/posting new content and 60% link building. And 60% of the time, we have to write an article/paragraph etc. in order to get a link - so content is king around our office, for sure. Gotta have great content to generate great links.

Actually, old fashioned link building still works, if you do it in the right places. Nonetheless, it is driven by content, so it does not work unless the content merits getting the link. So it sounds like we are pretty similar in our approach. Hey Scott – good seeing you as well. Actually, old fashioned link building still works, if you do it in the right places.

It sure has been a while. Great post here and something i've been working on all weekend. I completely agree that the best form of link development makes use of what you are calling direct and indirect methods. So a question for you. Are you guys doing any of the old fashion link devleopment anymore? Meaning, building a list of good to high value target sites and going after them? Or do you focus purely on creating valuable content for your clients? I've been focusing on a a 2 phase approach that goes after low hanging fruit (if any) that involves just good old fashion link development and focusing on coming up with great content that will attract links organically. Just seems like more and more people I talk to are moving away from the good old fashion link development and are focusing almost all their time on content creation. What are your thoughts on this? What is your approach? Hey Eric,
