I'm new to affiliate marketing and I'm still trying to understand SEO. I've understood its functionality and what its criteria is for giving top spots to pages. I'm reading material here and there about how to rank high. Some of these sources tell me that I should leave links of my page at:


  • Authority Sites
  • Directories
  • Social Bookmarks
  • GOV sites


As far as GOV sites are concerned, my problem with them has been they don't ask for "Website" when you want to leave a comment to their posts so can I insert a text link within the comment?

Regarding the other 3, I don't even know who are being referred to in them? Can someone please throw some light on this topic and tell me what they mean?
 


Authority sites are, simply, sites that are seen as authoritative within a specific niche. For example, seomoz.org is an authority site in SEO. Finding the authority sites within your niche and writing a carefully constructed comment on such a site is well worth your time.

The quality of directory links varies widely. DMOZ (dmoz.org) links are considered quite valuable, for example, but it can be challenging to get your site accepted. On the other hand, there are thousands of directories that will include your site simply for a reciprocal link, but such a link is much less valuable...if it has any value at all.

Social bookmarking refers to sites like Digg. Do a search for a list of social bookmarking sites including each site's PR and you can focus on those that have the most value.
