Link Building -- Ways That Guarantee Results

By: Chimezirim Gabriel Odimba

You can't really be serious about getting massive free traffic from the search engines if you do NOT appear on the first page of search results. And how do you rank high for your chosen keywords?

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. Piggy-back on sites that have built a reputation by submitting your articles to article directories. This is a very effective link-building method. Furthermore, you can do it without spending a dime.

The good thing about this method is that you will determine your anchor text for each article submitted. This is a very good thing as you'll have more control over which keywords or key phrases you get ranked for.

Don't just submit one article to one directory and think you're done. Keep submitting articles at least once a week to as many article sites as you can find.

Bear in mind that you need to ensure you use the right tools and strategy if you want to get the most from this. For example, you need to ensure that each instance of your article on each article directory is unique. There are tools and services that take care of this and your article submissions.

2. You can start blogs that are related in theme to your main site. Since your blogs are different webpages from your main site, links from them will help you increase your main site's 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.

Do you have to start a blog to build links with them? No. You can easily build many high quality links if you make useful comments on other people's blog. Just make sure they "do follow" and that you link back to your site.

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. Web directories are great sources of high quality inbound links. There are free directories and there are also paid ones.

If you must submit your site to only one directory, then make it Dmoz.org. A link from this site is worth a lot. However, you'll do yourself much good by submitting to as many web directories as will give you a rank boost (And they are many).

Search for other directories and submit to them. Submit both to big general directories and smaller niche directories. Just remember that these sites are highly respected and links from them are worth a lot.

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. Search for forums in your niche. Visit them and post useful comments (of course with a link to your site). Make sure you add value to these forums and you'll get the most out of this strategy.

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.
