On Tuesday the 10th August I will be presenting to my colleagues my method of manual link building. The main areas of coverage will be:

• Competitor Analysis
• Keyword Research
• Data Analysis
• Contacting Relevant Sources
• Liaising On Prices and SLAs
• Research competitors links
• Find where your site’s weaknesses are
• Choose your keywords and work out how many links you need for each
• Use SEO Moz Linkscape
• Open Site Explorer
• Filter relevant data
• Look into “authority” of domains
• Categorise Links into paid, directories, articles, blog comments, forum comments etc
• Contact webmasters and liaise

I will post the summary of the discussion after the presentation to explain other methods and ways to develop my own method.
