Building Links Is Not as Hard as You Think!

When people ask me why they aren't getting traffic or making any sales the first thing I ask them is how many links have you built back to your site. It's the most important piece of the puzzle and one that many new internet marketers just don't understand. If you want the search engines to rank you in the results page you have to be building links. Here are a few ways to build some links.

Blog comments. This is an easy way to start building links. It will also get you some direct traffic if you do it right. You can use software to find blogs that are related to your site, but you can also just go to Google blog search and put your keywords in. When you find a blog similar to your, read the post and then if you have something to say you can make a post in the comments. You can put your keywords in the name field and your url in the url field. This will create a link back to your site. There are many nuances to this technique so look at the other comments and see if others are doing this before you do. Make sure you add some value in your comment. Don't just write "nice site, I like it" that is not valuable and your comment will most likely be deleted.

Another great way to build links is by writing articles. Writing articles can be tedious and boring, but it is a great way to quickly and easily get your links out there. You can send out mass submissions, which is best done with some sort of software. You should also send your articles to ezinearticles.com. It has quite a bit of pull and your articles are likely to show up in google for your keywords, which can get you a lot of traffic by itself, if you have written a good article and have a resource box that calls people to click through. Make sure you have keywords in your links out of your resource box ~ those are your links you are building.

RSS is a relatively new technology. Even so, it can be a great way to start building links to your site. You simply get your RSS feed url and submit it to a variety of RSS directories and feed aggregators. You will get a link back to your site for each post you make. The link is usually the title of your post, so make sure you use keywords in those titles.

Free content platforms. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of places online that will allow you to put your content on their server for free. These sites are a dream come true for those building links back to their sites. You have control of the content and therefore you can make sure your links have the perfect anchor text. These free platforms may be free blog sites, free wiki type sites, and of course squidoo. Make sure you read the terms of service for each before you start, as each site's rules are a little different.

As you can see building links to your site is not very complicated. It can be time consuming and relatively boring, but it's just one of those things you have to do to see search traffic. If you fail to build links back to your site you can pretty much expect not to see much search engine traffic. A big hit of traffic from stumble can feel good on the stat counter, but you may be surprised that even after 1000 visitors you haven't made a dime. Work on building links, so you can get some search traffic. It may take a little more work, but you will actually make some money.
