Today I posed a question on Lynn's webinar about the time it takes to to backlink/SEO work.

I thought it might be a good idea to repeat a question I posted on Lynn's webinar chat today. I'm sure everyone could benefit from sharing a few tips.

I find backlink work one of the toughest obstacles in Internet marketing. Forums are good places to do this, but to immerse yourself in one and make a positive contributing can take a hours if you're not careful (and that's just for one). Locating, reading, and commenting at blogs is similar.

Some people seem to be able to knock out articles on anything very quickly, but I seldom seem to finish more than one in an afternoon/evening. Perhaps I'm too much of a stickler for research/details.

Judy Kelly said she outsources backlinking, which does sound like the ultimate solution. I know from experience that producing super good content can let you off the hook for a lot of it by giving others good reason to create links on their own. But you must get the word out initially, and, hopefully, in the most efficient way.

For those doing it themselves, what timesaving tips do you have to offer for doing backlink work?
