Link Building — Ways That Guarantee Results
Free traffic does NOT come free. You have to take very informed steps if you’ll enjoy high quality traffic from the search engines and other sources. This brings us to the question of the “how” of doing it.
There are many things you have to do like ensuring you have the right density of keywords on your page, having your keywords in your meta description tag, title, images and so on. However, of all known steps to high ranking, building your link popularity is the most important. Here are tops ways to get high quality links…
1. Write and submit high quality articles to article directories. This is certainly the most cost effective way of building link popularity.
Why I personally use article marketing as my preferred way of building links is that I have total control on how the links to my site are formatted. With this level of control, I can decide and affect which key phrases I rank for.
There used to be a time when links from a few articles would do. Not any more. You need to get into the habit of submitting at least one high quality article to as many article directories as make sense each week.
That said, you’ll NOT get the results this strategy typically give if you submit the exact same version of your article to many directories. You need to have a unique version for each instance. Thankfully, there are tools and services that make it easy for you to spin unique versions and submit them to hundreds of article directories.
2. Blogging is another way of getting one way links to your main site. Remember that a blog is seen as a different website from your main site. Therefore, links from it help you build your link popularity.
This is a good way for you to have as many webpages as you can without spending much. It will only take you just a few minutes to start your own blog. Visit sites like wordpress.com or blogger.com to start yours for free.
Another way of building your link popularity with blogs is by making useful comments on blogs that have a high page rank and then linking back to your site. Just make sure you comment on blogs that do NOT use the “no follow” tag.
3. Unless you’ve been in another planet, you must have heard of sites like del.icio.us and digg.com. They are social bookmarking sites. When you bookmark your articles on these sites you get a link back to your site.
The other advantage of social bookmarking is the leverage you can get. If you have great content some of your visitors will bookmark your articles. People who check their bookmarks will also visit your pages and some will add you to their own bookmarks. This helps you enlist others to do your link building for you.
4. You certainly shouldn’t forget web directories as you do your link building. They are very important for your link-building success.
Dmoz is certainly one of the most important directories. However, it does take such a long time for your site to be included. But while you’re advised to submit your site for review there, don’t stop there.
Do NOT limit yourself to just the big directories. Search in your niche. Although niche directories might NOT have very high page rank, their links are very useful because they are theme-focused.
There are services and software that will help you submit your site to many directories. Depending on the demand on your time, this may be a very viable option.
5. Forum posting is one great way of getting high quality links to your site. For your own good, make sure you post useful comments and articles with a link back to your site. Spamming forums won’t help you.
Although we’ve touched many ways to build links to your site, they are NOT the only ways. But just bear in mind why you’re building links: It’s to drive massive free and residual targeted traffic to your site.
