Four tips to get incoming links

You want incoming links to your website (or blog). It is well established that this will help attract visitors through the search engines.

Here are a few techniques I recommend:

1. Post comments on DoFollow blogs. You can get a plugin for the Firefox browser that will show you whether a blog is DoFollow or not.

2. Send articles to Ezine Articles and other good article directories like GoArticles.com. You are allowed two links in your author's bio. Use them!

3. Post on forums. Many allow you to have a signature file with links.

4. Try hard to get a link from a very important site. Education (.edu) sites are terrific. Check the Google ranking of sites in your niche. Offer an exclusive article to these if they allow you an linkback through your author bio.

I think the following methods are over-rated:

Website directories (article directories are ok)

Reciprocal links - just too much work involved in my opinion

Your blog: well, Google may give you credit once, but I doubt you get credit each time you post

Social networking: I don't think those linkbacks count with Google

Four Not So Special Ways To Generate Incoming Links

Four Not So Special Ways To Generate Incoming Links

There is one common denominator for all websites and blogs that want to increase their targeted visitors - they need incoming links. Why? Because without them it is most difficult to get high search engine positions.

Here are some ways to gather incoming links:

1. Write good articles and submit them to Ezine Articles.com and GoArticles.com. In your author's box, link back to as many pages within your website as possible. It is not smart to keep linking back to the main website page because, I hear, that one is enough from any one source. That means you could link to your main page from both article directories, but after that link to interior pages.

2. Backup your website efforts with a nice BLOG. You can make your blog be a DoFollow blog and this will help push some juice toward your website. Blogs also make excellent places to direct your friends on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. If people get to know and like you, they are more apt to check out and read other things you offer.

3. Post comments on DoFollow blogs. If you post a good comment people will click the link you provide. They may actually buy something from you if you are posting in blogs related to your niche. But all blog comments will improve your link count to your website.

4. Ask other site owners to link to your site. Offer them a nice article or somethng else of value.
