Hello Forum Friends

Is guest posting only the way to get quality links?

[joesadelin]

No, Forum linking and blog posting are also valid ways to get Do-follow links but not as beneficial as Guest posting. Because the guest posting gives the user value which google considers as a ranking factor.
Guest posting is considered by many a valid way to get links and improve a website's ranking. This is both true and false and it depends on where and how you get links.
The website where you want guest posts must be of high authority and secured and the traffic must be good.

I wouldn't say the only, yeah one of the most important techniques to get quality backlinks. That's why the pricing of guest posting have skyrocketed.
But there are many ways to get backlinks, as mentioned above, forum posting, blog commenting (meaningful), wiki (if you can actually contribute), web 2.0, podcast (very popular these days), link insertion is also interesting techniques. These are some of the popular and organic ones.

Not only that, you can come up with an excuse for the media to publish it. But you have to try very hard. I also heard that social networking links are not bad for results.

A guest blog is not the only way to obtain the backlink. There are several healthy methods.
Participating in a healthy forum discussion is another method. Links from forum discussions are regarded as high as gust blogs. Directory submission is another method to build backlinks. Directories not only help you build links but also help you build an online reputation. It contributes very highly in promoting the business's online visibility. Then there is image sharing and video sharing platforms, where you can share images and videos related to your targeted page. Blog commenting and bookmarking are other methods. But I will not recommend the bookmarking methods, as it has little relevance when it comes to ranking.

Yes. Guest posting is very much necessary until your blog/website gets good popularity with very good quality content. Once your blog/website becomes popular with good content or products/services, then other bloggers will write about you.
