Article Distribution

One great way of building links is to publish an informative, high-quality article and post it to a variety of article directories, including EzineArticles, Go Articles and SearchWarp.

Once you’ve submitted your articles to several directories, try also submitting them to various directories that specifically host articles in your industry.

 

Forum Links

If you’re active on forums related to your industry, having back-links to your site can make a big difference. Most forums don’t approve of you building links in main posts, but links in signature files are often just fine.

Make sure to check and see that the forums have “dofollow” links rather than “nofollow” links. Nofollow links will get you some forum traffic, but dofollow links are what can actually help you rank better in search engines.

 

The Blogosphere

Another great place to get links from is the blogosphere.

One good place for building links is in the “website” section of a blog when you’re leaving a reply. Make sure that you leave an informative, useful comment rather than just a random comment.

Add other blog authors to your blogroll and ask them to do the same.

 

Press Releases

Having great press releases can result in massive bursts of traffic if done right. Unfortunately, most people don’t do press releases right at all.

Send press releases when you have something that’s attention grabbing and newsworthy to send out. Don’t send out press releases just to build links.

If you send out something that’s newsworthy and it’s picked up by news media, that one news article will draw incredible amounts of traffic to your site.

 

Building Direct Relationships

This is the “old fashioned” and probably the best way of doing it – Building genuine relationships with other website owners. This method may be as old as the internet itself, but it’s still one of the most effective ways to go about it.

In the web marketing community, many of the experts often trade links on their sites and send emails out to their lists for one another. The same is true in many other industries.

Who do you know that’s in a similar industry? What might you be able to do together that will create a win-win result for both of you?

 

Building Links – General Mindset

Building links is basically getting the word out about your product. You can do it through people you know, through publishing content, through contacting the media and a multitude of other things.

But the bottom line is this: You’re putting your product out in the world. Do it through as many channels as you possibly can, but in a way that benefits your prospect.
