Penguin not only prevents spammer but it also increases the quality of Google. This type of algorithm really improves the quality of Search engine giant. Penguin decreases the low quality link building. So be authentic about link building. The ethical ways and thoughts are the key for the better brand promotion.

I heard about some link building methods. And among them: link baiting, guest blog posting, article submission, conversion, social media profiles, widget bait, resource request, contests and others.
Sure, some of these methods can work for one, and  might not work for others. But we all know that risk is everywhere!

1. Create backlinks to pages that ask the visitor to do something. Treat highly-linked pages as landing pages.
2. Embed offers IN THE CONTENT. Blog posts should have offers in the text. Infographics should include an offer at the end (or middle).
3. When you invite someone to link to your story, give them a trackable link. This can be as easy as using a URL shortener like Bitly or Captix. You can also tag your URLs for tracking in Google Analytics.

Create lists of the best material on your topic. This will cause people to bookmark your page and possibly link to it. Lists include 101s (any number), best resources, best tools, best pictures, best websites, best blog posts, best experts, best whatever, top myths, worst whatever, and more.  There must be a good reason for Google to show your website on the first page.
