One-Way Linking Sources
There are quite a few ways that you can use to get links from other sites back to yours. The most important principle to keep in mind is that you will get the most links when you offer something significant to link to. Think of what you can provide that people will want to link to if you want things to run smoothly:
- Natural links given from topic-related websites that like your website
- Providing free content (as mentioned before), such as access to articles, e-books, FAQ's and white papers
- Directory links, listed under the category related to your topic
- Business directory links, listed under the category that is directly related or ‘like’ to your topic
- Blogs, submitted to a blog directory and archived online
- Create Business associations, listed under the category related to your topic
- Newsletter and Newsletter text ads promoting your business, archived online at topic-related websites
- Creating Original articles, submitted to and archived online at topic-related websites
- Designing Original press releases, submitted to and archived online at topic-related websites
- Original newsletters, submitted to and archived online at topic-related websites that re regularly updated
- White papers, submitted to and archived online at topic-related websites
- Selling or offering free E-books, submitted to and archived online at topic-related websites
- Free software tools and downloads can be provided with required link back to website
For each of these types of content that you can add, you will want to have an active link that is pointing back to your site. Of course, when you are creating your own original content, you must always archive your own work on your website to build your content and increase your own link popularity by growing the number of pages on your website. The extra value that you can get out of one-way links is the fact that you are also promoting your website from the listing as well as the active link. Articles, newsletters, white papers, directory and business association links may bring in traffic from visitors who are interested in the description is of your website listing.
