We are into the times of Web 2.0. The web has changed. Sites are getting more percentage of traffic through Web 2.0 sites than good ole Google.

So now its time to change the link building strategies.
Here are a few of the action items that I can think of. If you follow all these, sure within short span of time, you will start receiving some good traffic from all Web 2.0 sites.
1)    Sure G still is supreme and with G, conventional link building still works. The links from .edu or authority sites are still key to rank in Google.
2)    Digg – Digg.com is fast emerging as a big traffic feeder for many sites. Quadszilla has posted a nice article on how to make to Front Page of Digg.
Randfish in his article mentioned how top users at dig are controlling the front page of digg.
Not all stories can make it to the front page, however with proper strategy, you may start receiving nice traffic from digg
3)    Pick up your favorite top 10 Web 2.0 sites and start submitting your articles and sites into them. These sites can be Netscape, reddit etc. Submit each and every article of your sites to these story / article submission Web 2.0 sites
4)    Create profiles at Social Networking sites and put your relevant site URLs in your profile. Be active at these sites; create a huge circle of friends. Do post the comments freely.
5)    Create profiles at all forums, put your URLs in signature and be vocal at forums. Don’t Spam, but participate in the forums wherever you can. It does bring in some good quality traffic.
6)    Link Exchange with quality blogs. Bloggers are the people who really appreciate the content and quality of your site. If you have nice content, you may get links from very popular blogs.
7)    Bookmark each and every single article of your site with relevant tags at social bookmarking sites e.g. del.icio.us
8)    Think about unique strategies specific to your site, so that you can put some pictures, videos etc at youtube, flickr type of web 2.0 sites
9)    Publish a few articles and news items at your site. Submit those at sites like lipstick.com
10)     Create some applications/ widgets for facebook and enjoy some free traffic from facebook as well?
