I have a few niche sites on-line with very good content. However, they are still relatively new and I am in the process of trying to develop a plan to grow them organically. I just don't have the money right now to spend on PPC.

What advice would you give for the fastest way to grow one's site organically?


I've heard that the key is to buy as many links as you can. is this true and how would you go about doing this?
 


Do it yourself trick:
1. Write an article and submit to Ezine
2. Once approved, put the content in copyscape and find out how many more people have scrapped your content.
3. Email them and tell them you'd give them a better unique content for free if they allow you a link from within that article.
4. Free one way links.

Linkbuilding in General - "Buying as many links as you can" is probably bad advice. Read the above and educate yourself. Paid links are certainly one avenue, but I wouldn't start doing that until you know what you're doing (and how much you should be paying). Other link sources - social bookmarking, directories, comment spam, referral spam, article submissions and lots of other black hat stuff that I won't get into here.

Good luck.
 
create an affiliate program

Get an affiliate program and get affiliates to sign up. Create text links and banners that use keywords you want to get found under.

My affiliate program (conceptmediadesigns.com) is working very well and has helped me obtain alot of good keywords. When I have enough affiliates put my link on their site I create new banners with different keywords for my new affiliates.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by getting affiliates to sign up.
I have already signed up with an affiliate company and I have banners up and I am using the keywords in my content. Both sites are about a month old.

+rep thanks for the resources
 
- Build links slowly
- Add content slowly

Spend a week writing a buttload of content (if you have cash outsource it) and then load em up at one or 2 pages per week. You can automate this if you are using Wordpress.

Outsource all linkbuilding, its a slow tedious and mind numbing process. CHeck out the Buy and Sells section for some deals.
 
-Using WordPress & using SEO addon tools
-Longer active domains (Google likes to see a domain that is aged for another 5+ years)
-Get back links via signatures or write articles about your blog/website

link buying is way overrated. you need to make some sites which have a similar theme and grow them for months (content + inbound links), then link from those to the site you want to rank well. google doesn't give a shit what sites that haven't been around too long have to say about your main site.

you can have a million links from pr0 articles and directories and all those "recommendations" still won't be as valuable as a few links/recommendations from established sites with a similar theme which google places some value on. for google/yahoo/msn to "take the advice" of a page which is linking to your site, that page needs to have a fairly high number of quality inbound links to itself. if a page that's linking to you doesn't have any inbound links, it's basically worthless - pay no attention to the PR.

I definitely agree with your assertion that less is often more...but in terms of link buying, a few strategically placed links in the right place can do wonders for your ranking. The more relevant, trusted and less it looks like a paid link the better. WeBuildPages used to be masters at this, until they switched their core service offering.
