4 Ways To Get Effective Backlinks – Link Building Tips

October 15th, 2009 Daniel McGonagle No comments

A lot of site owners realize they need links to their sites if they want more organic traffic that results from higher rankings. There is a bit of a scientific method involved when it comes to obtaining backlinks that work for you and your sites. The 4 most effective methods for getting backlinks are outlined in this article

Publishing articles to article directories has to be my favorite way of getting backlinks. The reason why I like this method so much is because you get backlinks, direct traffic and even some direct sales from article marketing. One extra step most webmasters fail to do with their article marketing is to obtain links for those as well.

A great way to get deep backlinks to your site is to submit your sites’ RSS feed occasionally. However, if you can find a way to automate your RSS submissions, then you’ll be able to truly harness the power of this type of backlink generation. A big misconception about doing RSS submissions is that it’s for blogs only, and this is quite untrue. You can make RSS feeds out of any type of site and document format.

Social bookmarking links have the potential to drive targeted traffic to your sites and increase your rankings. One thing that has made this a less important part of most people’s link building campaigns is when the social sites switched over to NoFollow attributes for their links going out. Social bookmarking is still a recommended and effective method for getting backlinks merely because this process can be 100% automated.

Blog networks have recently become a popular way to get backlinks from targeted relevant sites. The way link building with blog networks is much like article syndication. With so many people using these networks, a lot of these have turned into huge link farms filled with sites linking out 1000% more than they’re getting linked to, therefore these sites have upside-down link juice and don’t really help your efforts much. If you choose a good blog network link building service, your results will be nothing short of amazing.

How To Quickly Get Free Traffic To Your Website

September 10th, 2009 Brian Armstrong No comments

Getting traffic to your website is a major key to getting sales and making money. You can either pay for traffic with time or you pay with money and many times it is both. Even with pay-per-click, you will usually spend a significant amount of time in addition to a cost for each click to get targeted traffic to your website. The following are a few ways that you can get free traffic. Some of these are going to produce more targeted traffic than others, but each of these methods can get traffic to your website.

Now, blogging can be like any other website that alone isn’t going to get any traffic. However, depending on which blogging platform you use, you’ll have an instant leveraged website or web platform you can use to get traffic assuming you use the right keywords in the right places on those blog posts. For instance, Blogger.com and Wordpress.com tend to rank relatively well with the search engines, especially with Google.

There are several social bookmarking sites, such as Digg.com and Del.icio.us and other sites like this. You can “bookmark” your own blog posts and other pages to help them get ranked in the search engines. Often times these social bookmarking “tag” pages will get ranked as well. Although this isn’t a direct link, these pages can serve as bridge pages with links back to your site and these pages rank also rank very well with the search engines.

Some other sites that can help you get traffic and rank well on their own are sites like Hubpages.com and Squidoo.com. If you have done your keyword research and know what keywords are getting searched for, you’ll have an easy time finding keywords that are getting searched, but have very little competition. Using these keywords in the title of your Squidoo “Lens” or your Hubpages “Hub”. Using the keywords in both your title and again throughout the page you create then doing some additional social bookmarking links back to your “Lens” or “Hub” and watch it get ranked in the search engines.

Articles are an excellent way to get high quality links back to your website which will generate visitors as well as search engine benefits. The search engines reward relevant links and articles represent the most relevant pages simply because you are in charge of the content of every article. So, if you’re trying to get your site ranked for a specific keyword phrase, you can create articles on these topics and use the resource box or author profile to link back to your website using keywords for which you’re trying to get ranked.

Posting on forums is another great way to generate links back to you site. Find forums within your niche and start contributing to the conversations. Make sure that you’re posting on forums that allow you to add a signature with a link. Also, whenever possible, view the source on forums and see if they add a “nofollow” attrib within the link code. If they do, that forum won’t do much for your search engine optimization, but will work for getting clicks back to your website.

There are a lot of blogs that you can add your comment to. These comments can be used for the search engine benefit by using your keyword phrase as the link back to your site. If the blog is a “popular” blog where many people add comments, the webmaster or blog owner may have a setting that prevent the search engine from giving credit for that link. In those cases, you can use the more popular blogs to link back to your site and simply get some clicks back to your site. This puts some of the pressure on to write comments that encourage the clicks.

These are some great ways to get free traffic but each of these requires an investment of time. If you’re willing to put in a consistent, dedicated amount of time each day or a few times per week. Consistency is a key part of success when it comes to getting traffic to your website.
