Because of this I have outlined some simple suggestions in order to get going with your linking strategy. There are many ways of obtaining backlinks and it is an easy process, however it can be very monotonous and time consuming. Please build your links responsibly and do not spam the following services in order to get more links quickly. The search engines can penalise sites that gain links too quickly as it is deemed that the links are not naturally built.

Firstly do a search on a search engine for site that are similar in content to yours. Go through the tops twenty results and contact as many as you can by email to request exchanging links. Some will oblige, others wont but this is a good place to start and if you only get four links from twenty it hasnt taken you long.

If you are a member of a forum, check their signature rules and if they allow HTML signatures add your link to it. This way every time you make a post a link to your site will be generated. Use Anchor text too if you can for your keyword of choice.

Similarly to the above, if you post comments on blogs then add a link to you site in the post. Make sure you are allowed to do this first by checking with the blog owner. Many blog comment boxes have a section for adding your site so look out for that.

Web 2.0 or social media sites can be a good way to build links. Go to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Netvous, Delicious and Furl to add you links to news stories or bookmarking features. Make sure you always add your anchor text where possible and always include valuable and decent content when needed.

Creating a Squidoo lens is always a good idea. Create a page with information about your site and link to it.

Submit your website into the correct category of website directories. The main one is DMOZ but there are thousands of others and can be a useful link building technique. Again this is very time consuming but services like LinkBuildingElite can do this for you.

If you have more than one website or a blog of your own, then link your new site from them.

Avoid spamming link software. The best way to get links is to do it manually. Much software available for this purpose is considered a spamming technique and again could get you penalised by the search engines. Build your links slowly but steadily and you will see results over time.

There are many methods to build backlinks but those mentioned above are a very good place to start, so get going!

Are you ready?

Good, because I am.

Step #1. First you must write an Article.

The first step is to write an related article about your Product or Service that draws the reader in and gets them to click through to your website once they finish reading it to find out more about you and your Product or Service.

Now, your probably wondering why you have to write an article.

Well, it’s real simple actually because what do you get to put at the end of your article?

Your ‘Resource Box’ with your website information and most important of all… your URL pointing back to your website.

So when someone chooses to publish your article in their newsletter or on their website, blog or article directory, they MUST add your ‘Resource Box’ with your website information and URL.

I know some of you are saying… “I don’t know how to write an article” … well, your not alone.

Here are a few resources I’ve put together for you so you can get the basic idea of How-To structure your articles with ease or get someone else to write them for you.

The first is an article I wrote called… THE 7 Step Formula For Writing POWERFUL Articles In Less Than An Hour.

It will show you How-To structure your articles for easy writing. http://www.internetwondersezine.com/article_11.html

The second resource is Elance.com – http://www.elance.com – which is basically a place where you can go and submit a project by category and freelance writers, etc. will then bid on your project. You pick the winner and you set the budget.

This will get you started in the right direction.

Remember, your article is the Nuts and Bolts of this ‘Back Linking’ strategy, so make sure you put some effort into it to get it as much exposure as possible.

Step #2. Submit your article to Article Directories.

This is the next step and an important one at that because this is where your article or articles are going to get picked up by website owners and/or ezine publishers who are in constant need of fresh, quality information to feed their audiences hunger for information.

There are literally hundreds of Article Directories out there and thousands of ezine publishers looking for quality content on a daily basis. And if they choose your article for publication, they must include your ‘Resource Box’ with your websites information and URL.

It’s all about the numbers. The more Article Directories and websites you submit your articles to, the more potential Backlinks you’ll get to your website.

And since Article Directories have recently adopted RSS(Real Simple Syndication) technology into the mix your articles will even get More mileage without you lifting a finger, creating even more Backlinks to your website.

More on RSS in a minute.

Are you starting to see the Power behind writing your own articles.

I hope so.

Step #3. Create your own RSS Feed for your articles.

This last step is a very Powerful step as well.

What you need to do is set up your own RSS Feed for your articles.

Now, if you don’t know what RSS is here’s the basic definition…

RSS is by definition – an acronym for ‘Real Simple Syndication’ or ‘Rich Site Summary’, and the .XML extension is the format used for distributing your news headlines via the Web, which is known as ‘Syndication.

‘Syndication’ is where the TRUE power of RSS is unleashed, getting your message or information across the web in an INSTANT to websites, subscribers and/or readers who subscribed to your RSS Feed.

The easiest way for you to do this is to set up your own Blog either through…

Wordpress.org – http://www.wordpress.org

Or through…

Blogger.com – http://www.blogger.com

Wordpress is a little more advanced so I recommend if you don’t have alot of experience with Blogs or installing scripts that you go set up a Blogger blog which will only take you less than 5 minutes to do.

I’m just giving you some options, that’s all.

Once you’ve set up your Blog the only thing left for you to do is add you articles.

TIP: Make sure you hyperlink your URL and use Anchor Text with your most targeted keywords. By doing this the Search Engine spiders will rank your website higher under that keyword term you specify in your Anchor Text.

After you’ve added your articles all you have to do now is submit your new RSS Feed to RSS Directories and RSS Search Engines.

Here’s a few resources for you to get started with.

Ping-O-Matic – http://pingomatic.com

RSS Top 55 – http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55

As well as keywords, meta tags and content, search engines take into consideration the number of links from other sites to your own. These are known in the trade as backlinks.

And as a website owner and Internet Marketer you want your site to have a very high ranking, and so you need as many backlinks as you can get.

The first method is to join a link exchange program. These can allow you to build a huge number of links very rapidly, but the big problem with them is many of the sites tend to be spammy and junk sites desperate to get to the top of the search engines. Some search engines will penalise you for links to these sort of sites, which is something you want to avoid.

You also want to avoid your links being on link farms – if there are too many external links on a single site then you may again get penalised by the search engines. In these link exchanges you will often find these link farms.

You can also search for relevant sites and manually create links to them. Now obviously this is a painstaking approach and will take absolutely forever.

There are some definite advantages to having backlinks and you want as many as possible pointing to your site. Now in order for them to be most effective, you need to know a trick or two.

Usually when you are link exchanging or writing articles you are in control of the text that is displayed with your link. A lot of marketers will just write any old blurb and then list their website.

Yes, you get a back link, but you don’t harness the full power of it. It’s like buying a Ferrari and then driving everywhere at twenty miles per hour.

To truly harness this power and drive your backlinks at full speed you need to use what is called anchor text. This is where you have certain words which are a hyperlink to your website. The words you use are your keywords.

For example, if your keywords were “Dancing Elephants” the usual link would be “Visit Michael Angelo’s site on dancing elephants at dancingelephants dot com.”

In order to really enhance your listing and boost the relevance of your site massively in the search engines, you need to make the “dancing elephants” reference a link to your website too. Your text then contains two links to your website – one being the website address and the other the keywords. Because the keywords and linking directly to your sites the search engines love it because they think your site must be more relevant to those keywords due to the link.

There are, however, a few shortcuts to building up links. They are not easy ways to make your site popular, nor are they guaranteed to work for everybody. They are simply some casual tips to help you obtain a few quality inbound links.

Submit Articles to Digg

Google absolutely loves Digg. The site is spidered very frequently and the domain has a lot of authority in terms of link building. Even stories with no diggs will still be spidered, so long as there is a navigational path for the spiders to use to reach it. Google cannot use the number of diggs as any sort of authority when ranking a URL, yet…

For the best long term effects only submit good quality articles to Digg. Or better yet, let your users submit the articles that they think are worthwhile. You will quickly get a reputation as a spammer if you keep posting unpopular content.

Other Social Networking sites

Submitting to Social Bookmarking and social networking sites can be hot and miss for some people.

Some social bookmarking sites such as Delicious and Twitter use “nofollow” on their links so they cannot influence rankings. Other sites, such as Furl, do not.

Having your links on a few social network profiles may also be useful in building up the number of links. For others it is simply not worth it. While some, such as Facebook, do use “nofollow” on their links, some do not. However, the weight that these links carry is relatively low, despite the authority these domains actually carry.

“Widgetbait”

Widgetbait is a term thrown around for an object that is added to a user’s website or blog. This item features a link back to the authors website. If the object is installed on many thousands of websites, this results in many thousands of backlinks. The classic examples of widgetbait include online quizzes, IQ tests or horoscopes.

While these links are valuable to some, for others the quality of the link and the traffic it brings is just too low. If the text of the link bears no relation to the page in which it is contained, Google becomes suspicious. Additionally, the text that links back to the site must relate to the widget, and, the link must go back to the author’s website, not a third party site.

A classic example of spammy widgetbait would be an IQ test that features a text link to an online dating site. Google would soon hear of this and the sites involved, including the sites distributing the widget and the site being linked to would be penalised.

The Best Kind of WidgetBait: Just Build Something Useful

The best type of widgetbait is to simply create something that people want to use. Classic examples of this are Winamp Skins, modifications for forum software such as Invision Power Board and plugins or themes for Wordpress. Why are these good ideas? They will result in you being listed on the official website of each respective product. These sites are popular and the links they feature carry a lot of influence.

Find high PageRank Sites that allow Backlinks

This excellent tool from Seo Chat allows you to perform a web search and sort the results by PageRank. You can look for websites relevant to your content from which you may be able to get backlinks. Good examples include forums and blogs. Always ensure that these sites do not use nofollow on their links.

What About Directories?

Web directories used to be incredibly helpful in building up the number of incoming links to a website. The usefulness of directories is decreasing over time and many people question whether there is any worth in pursuing directory submissions at all. The two notable exceptions to this are the Open Directory Project and Yahoo! Directory. The following list outlines the main problems with using directories. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide if it is a strategy worth pursuing.

Does it Check the Quality and Topic of Submissions?

Any free-for-all web directory that has not been penalised by Google is just one site review away from being so. These are nothing more than spam farms. The directorys editors should at least check the site to verify the given information and ensure the site is legitimate.

On a similar note, web directories should generally be targeted to a specific audience. Most general web directories that have no specific focus will not be of any use to you.

Can it Still Pass PageRank?

While PageRank is far from being the answer to every SEO question, it is still a useful indication as to how “useful” Google thinks a page is. Bear in mind that the most up to date Page Rank is at least a few months old. Use the following strategy to determine if a site has been penalised in Google:

Search for the websites title in Google.

Search for a large block of text from the sites homepage.

Search for the actual domain in Google.

If the site doesnt rank for one and two, but it does for number three, it has been penalised in Google and probably wont be able to pass PageRank. If it does not rank for any of these steps, the site has probably not been indexed by Google.

Any directory that has been penalised by Google has done something against Googles guidelines. Dont associate your website with any directory like this. Google is seriously cracking down on paid links. Any spammy web directory, particularly those that charge for links, are in the firing line as far as being penalised by Google.

Does a Link on this Directory Actually Mean Anything?

Dont submit to a directory just for a link. Make sure the link is worth your time. A link is not worth having if:

The specific category pages are not indexed,

There are too many links on a single page – having too many links on a single page with dilute down the ranking influence that is passed, or

The directory has very little traffic to send to your website

If you decide to use a web directory, this article entitled 50 Page Rank 3 Or Higher Free Website Directories is a good resource. Just remember to assess the quality of the directory first.

Areas to Avoid

Two of the main places that people try to spam for backlinks are Yahoo! Answers and Wikipedia. Both of these sites use nofollow in their links. There is often misunderstanding and false information given about this, but it is true for both sites. If the situation ever changes or you need to verify it for yourself, simply look at the source code on each website. The new service from Google, Knol, also uses a nofollow meta tag to prevent any links being followed.

Building backlinks will play and important role in how well your site gets ranked in the search engines for the keywords you are targeting. Most people will not even take the time to get links back to their site, but those who do take the time and effort will see the bigger reward in the end.

Now below I have listed 5 quick and easy ways you can go about getting backlinks to your website. These are proven ways that work time after time. So use them for all your sites you own.

2. Make your own software program and submit it to all the free download sites. There are thousands of sites that allow you to download programs. These sites are highly trusted sites, and they will link to your page where people can download your program you created giving you high quality backlinks.

3. Email other websites and ask to do a simple link exchange. If your page is relevant to theirs they are more likely to do a link exchange. It is important though that you only seek out other sites that are related to yours as its key to link to relevant sites.

4. Write and submit articles to article directories. After each article you submit leave a small link back to your website. Doing this once after each article you write will quickly add up to a number of different backlinks going to your website. This method may not be good as the others, but it is still highly recommended.

Follow the above steps and within a few days or week you will start to see your site climb the ranks of Yahoo and Google.

For example, a common way of getting backlinks is exchanging links with other people’s sites — that’s called “reciprocal linking.” However, a much more valuable link in the search engine’s eyes is a one-way link from someone else’s website to your own.

Furthermore, the best one-way backlinks are from sites that are about a topic that is the same or similar to yours. So, for example, if your site is about fishing, then getting a link from another site about fishing is the best type of link you can get. The search engines call this “relevance” and relevant backlinks are always better than links from websites that have nothing to do with the subject of your website.

One of the best ways to get one-way, relevant backlinks is by submitting your site to directories, which is usually a free service, but some directories do charge a nominal fee. You can find a plethora of directories by going to Google and typing “search engine friendly directories” in the search bar.

When you visit one of these directories, you will see that a directory is a categorized index of websites. You will see main categories, such as Arts & Entertainment, Business, Computers, etc. Under each main category, you will find subcategories.

To submit your website to a directory, go to that directory and click on “Add URL” or a similarly named link, and then add your website to the appropriate category and subcategory. For example, if you are submitting your fishing website, look for the “Recreation” category (or something similar) and then the subcategory “Fishing.”

You will need to enter your website URL, the title of your website, a short description, a list of keywords, and an email address. It’s best to provide an email address related to your website. So if your website domain is myfishingsite.com then you would want to use an email address like webmaster@myfishingsite.com.

If your submission is accepted by the directory, then a link to your website will be published on a page that is only about fishing, thereby giving you a great one-way and relevant backlink. As a side note, you do not have provide a reciprocal link, although most directories will offer that option …

Those are good questions indeed and I’ll explain them in a moment.

But, before I do, let’s first define what a “One-Way Backlink” is.

A “One-Way Backlink” is simply a link that points back to your website from someone else’s without you having to reciprocate back.

It doesn’t have to get anymore difficult than that.

The more pointing back to yours, the higher the search engines will rank your website depending on your keyword competition and the quality or PR(Popularity Ranking) of the backlink.

These are very important factors to consider when doing link exchanges because you want the best links possible.

I know I do, and I’m sure you do to.

If your new to the Internet Marketing scene then what I’m about to reveal to you within this article will literally save you tons of time and get you those much needed “One-Way Backlinks” so you can have a fighting chance for the keywords your website is optimized for.

So… what’s the BIG Secret?

ARTICLES!!

Why ‘Articles’ you ask and how do they get you “One-Way Backlinks“?

Well, first off, if you’ve been online for any length of time then you know that ‘Content Is King’, but the beauty of writing and syndicating articles is you get to include a ‘Resource Box’ with your articles that has all your website details in it along with your “URL”.

It’s that easy and if your good at writing articles and write them often and they target a specific niche that needs to be filled then they should have no problem getting picked up and spread around the Internet with all your website details and URL attached.

And… just so you know, articles are also considered one of the Best forms of VIRAL Marketing available on the Internet, so this should give you some incentive to get started as well.

Well, that covers the first question. Lets now move onto the last which is… “How do you get those high PR ‘One-Way’ Backlinks?”

Two words… “Article Directories”.

Article Directories are hungry for content and are always looking for fresh NEW content to add to their databases for their readers, webmasters and for newsletter and e-Zine publishers.

The great benefit to submitting to “Article Directories” is that they usually have high PR(between 4 and 6) within the search engines depending on if its new or not and is where you’ll benefit.

And that’s not all either. Everytime you submit a new article to an article directory it creates a NEW Optimized Page just for your article with all your website details and URL(MOST Important), so the more article directories you submit to, the bigger your network will grow with more “One-Way Backlinks” pointing back to your website from other high PR article directories.

And as those article directories are getting spidered daily by other search engine robots(known as Spiders) your new pages will get pick up and indexed within their databases as well building your link network BIGGER and Bigger.

If you see ANY potential in using this linking strategy then don’t sit on the fence.

Get started today.

So you have built this website and you are wondering what to do next. How do I get visitors, how do I drive traffic, and how on earth to I make money. These questions are being asked by thousands, and for the most part remain unanswered. I believe what happens to most of us, is that we get so excited about building that first site, that we automatically think it will work on auto-pilot, just like we were told by the so called gurus.

Well, believe me it just is not that simple. After you have constructed your site, there is still plenty of work to do. You need to make the effort to get visitors to your site, sort of like an invite. Once you have sent out the invite, you task now becomes to convert them into a customer. Now these two tasks is where the real effort begins to have a successful site.

Traffic, traffic, traffic, did I mention traffic. Lets face it, if you had a brick and mortar store front with no traffic, you’re dead in the water. With out traffic, no business can survive. So, we need visitors to our site, and we need a plan to get them there.

It will be easy to say “advertise”. Create a budget, and buy ad after ad, and hope for the best. Well to me that would be a huge mistake, unless of course you have deep pockets and can afford the huge risk for little return. I for one can not do that, although I can say, “been there, done that”.

I will say though, “backlinks“. Backlinks are important for every web page. Sure anybody can make the argument about keywords, content or adwords, but backlinks are vital to the success or failure of your website. Acquiring backlinks has never been an easy task. Posting on forums, submitting to directories, buying or subscribing to get links, what ever your approach, it takes time and effort.

Backlinks are important to climb the page ranking in the search engines. Backlinks tell the search engines that you have a site of interest to others who have linked to it. Your marketing campaign for your sites, has to include the effort of obtaining links. Links can be bought or you can obtain them for free, simply by listing in directories. Beware though, that submitting to directories takes time, a very tedious task.

Any promotional effort for your site has to be obtaining those one way links, not the reciprical links that get lessen the quality of your site to the search engines. You want the one way links, pointing to your site. A terrific way to obtain the one way link is to write a simple article about you niche. I am not talking a promotional piece, but something the reader has interest in…just like you are doing here. If you just read that last sentence, you then have an interest in this article. You hope the article you write gets picked up by others and used as conten, all with a link to your website.

So, start focus your website promotion, for the first couple of months, on getting those quality backlinks!
