If it's not 'whitehat' it's 'blackhat'. Google set the rules.

Any aquisition of juice passing links that you have 'a hand in' are not 'whitehat'.

Any scheme you have for aquiring links designed to increase Pagerank or SERP's is, by definition, a 'link scheme' - Ie. 'blackhat'.

You might well get away with your blackhat stuff for a while - incidentally, you pay the blog owner for the review - as a one-off it's probably undetectable - but a pattern makes a problem. That 'pattern' could be AFTER you deal with him - when he realises he can make money from 'reviews' or you just doing similar again with someone else.

As for what 'whitehat' I will be doing?

Creating a great site, building a Facebook 'following', contacting a few kind-hearted, relavent, niche sites offering a discount for their customers if they use a certain 'promo code' - that site will naturally link to me as opposed to letting their customers/members go off to Google to find my website (thinking about it - that's a bit of a scheme too really).

Everything else is likely to be 'blackhat', but, rightly or wrongly, I don't have a plan that goes further than that.

4 way non reciprocal links sound a bit dodgy..

Paying for a blog post is paying for a link = blackhat, but who can prove you paid for it? just make sure the blog is quality and not just a link seller.. even national newspapers sell followed links in paid advertorial articles.

Twitter, facebook, youtube, fourms, not good for links they will be nofollow, but they are good for spreading awareness and potentially creating relationships with relevant site owners who might want to link to your site.

I personally pay a PR agency to get us into magazines and newspapers, they also get us online coverage which = links way beyond the quality I could hope to build myself.

So really I am paying for links, well at least for someone to get me links, but they're doing it in a whitehat way.. so does that make it whitehat? hmm.

Remember also, it's not just where the link is coming from you also have to be careful about your use of anchor text, don't spam keywords.

Blog authors here is an idea that has worked for me in the past. It takes some work, research and some luck. I have had posts using this method in the first (3) spots on Google for very popular product names on several different blogs.

Find a product that is related to your niche. Something new that may be gaining in popularity. Try to avoid products that have already been out for a long time, as your competition may already be too high. Get in touch with the manufacturer of this product, tell them you're doing a post on it and you want to be able to use specific images, trademarks, etc. and even interview them over the phone for this post. This is free advertising for them. Most will be ok with it.(You may not have to do this part, but it may help you avoide copyright or trademark issues.)

Create the Awesome blog post. Take some time, make this GREAT content. Explain the product, benifits, and why people should use it. Optimize the post with a title that has the product name, use the product name in the post text as much as makes sense. (don't over do it).

Post it - Submit it to your social media following and some other quality sites that offer as such. Pinterest, Delicious depending on the subject.

If your content is great. People will link to this page. If you're lucky the product really takes off and when others write about this product they link to your page.

I have done this several times, sometimes with success some not. It all depends on the popularity of the product. Since you know your niche you have an advantage of knowing what may become popular before the public.
