As I am going through my seo consult with Value Cruises, I am going to keep a running list of all the link built here on my website for 2 reasons. 1) So that everyone can see my link building history that is easily accessible and 2) So that the search engines have another avenue to indexing links I have built. There is nothing worse than creating a ton of backlinks and then a month later you see many have not been indexed.
So these links are spread out to various authoritative sites. If you look at the google page rank on the home page of any of these, you can see they have a high PR. Also check them in Alexa. These are great places to put links back to the Value Cruises Website. Beyond these high quality links I have also done blog commenting, forum posting, directory submission, among the others. The idea is to get a diverse backlink portfolio. I build links with white hat techniques. These are both nofollow and dofollow links.
