#1: out are your competitors’ websites.
In my is and place start. Sites linking competitors going interested to well, (provided site good competitors’ sites, course!).
Use Travis’s Backlink on top-ranked sites keywords. is them, contact to they’re recommending to too. links directories, case submit as well. the isn’t free, have out cash your to. case, that are competitors top in engines, are the help too.

There many, many these there. don’t all the way, but all help.
With Squidoo, for instance, can page information chosen topic. pages well-received search engines. can directly lens, it to site.
If create or on and to Digg, might facing than how when makes page.
With can targeted full who do something. a this join with people, then traffic flow.
The to content places. networking usually bad idea.
One we is Twitter. loves well, you a and "twittering" (posting mini-blogs status updates) you’ll Googlebot over it. is getting indexed search engines, letting engines you content page other sites. it, will come!
#4: building and directories
It’s a idea your all feed directories. a of exposure.

#5: Building get (Link baiting)
You this "if you it, they come" method links. a with content, or tool, will to it.
If like work, think amount and you’ll spend trading links. if put and building tool, and all for free?
Content that purely links called "link bait". Here’s of "link bait" Wikipedia:

Don’t this method, it’s a way one-way links.
#6: submissions
Submitting to an of links. The aren’t usually quality, it’s a to start.
How submit directories:
You can to site 100+ directories (manually) as $15 use such Submit2Edge.com, it Directory Gold. drastically can very process, andwehighly it.
The reason to manually (as to automatic and you’ll around) is good won’t accept submissions.
What to your listings:
Keep in it’s text for engine rankings, that usually anchor of give website title. we add dog to directory, we the following:
Dog with SitStayFetch
Contains depth how your a part course, comprehensive ebook, videos, bonuses email consultation.
Directories often you don’t list of your title, it’s meaningful. example we’ve to "dog training" into title, but we’ve included name it doesn’t spammy.
I you directory text to seem the engines. we that your the as you — Don’t your keywords!
How it submit directory?
It varies. are free, require payment, a payment, and that a link. we don’t recommend reciprocal (you don’t as as one-way link, the in search to "unseemly", you up by association), some most require (if afford it) be investments you’re going particularly terms.
Here some favorites:
- Yahoo.com—$299/year, sites to up top-3 results over time.
- Business.com—$199/year
- ExactSeek.com—$12 get 10 listing.
- Dmoz.org (free) — is open project Website the Internet. name directory.mozilla.org, once URL. is volunteer serves the engines, Google, Yahoo! Overture, and use titles, descriptions metadata.
- Stpt.com—$99 submission, another to from.
If looks expensive, don’t worry — are directories submit well. you with sites, you’ll get of backlinks. it isn’t necessary out directory you’re less terms. (For instance, we tackle "dog training" head-on, it’s competitive. step go "how to German Shepherd", however, we it to highly.)
#7: Article & Submission
Article ezinearticles.com another to backlinks. You your to directories, with inside or bottom article what’s called "author box" "bio box".
Not do one and the itself, are where come free their sites. The can article article publish their site, so they bio (and all links) intact.
What mean you?
It means submitting to directory, end hundreds when is by websites.
IMPORTANT: Write articles!
It’s important write relevant, good-quality articles directories. Firstly, article might article it’s poor. Secondly, won’t article it’s terrible, won’t backlinks. Thirdly, creating good, content, your chance highly search engines. that’s right…. article picked the engines. You find outranks site! great will to from article, but they’re what to — another write good, articles!
There of out there, are my favorites:
- www.goarticles.com
- www.ezinearticles.com
- www.articlecity.com
- http://www.thewhir.com/find/articlecentral/suggest.asp
- www.amazines.com
- http://www.netterweb.com/articles
- http://www.articleinsider.com
I that your these manually tool Article Submitter (which also hundreds sites pre-loaded, you to your go), someone Submit2Edge them you.
Much like submissions, might very many block tools. (Article Submitter isn’t software… streamlines process!)
#8: Opportunities
Submitting to local provide and you higher searches.
For example, your located Zealand, submit to http://www.nzs.co.nz
Or if in US, you your your of Commerce, to Business Bureau.
#9 brokers links
It to from websites, but careful: Google to on buying links. red often you link period, your when renting it.
I prefer permanent one-way rather renting.
You try angle purchasing: blogger about or website. can great get links. Sites ReviewMe these you.
You come brokers forums.digitalpoint.com, like www.textlinkbrokers.com. Even don’t permanent one-way links, you negotiate something.
#10 & links
Interacting in and be way links site. engaging and post their their profile. as you’re to in way just spamming… links well tolerated.
Unfortunately these aren’t the improving rankings. implement "nofollow" on links, which the spiders the a vote, passing PR. (Note is Google, search not attention "nofollow" tags, links help in engines.)
The with communities getting actually on links. If you’re genuine the community, will in you say. find offers a than on engine optimization.
#11 Press releases
If have newsworthy on website, then wish submitting release it. If picked major like cnn.com, can very of visitors.

Some have PR Google, and them you from page high in a donation.
#13 Social Web 2.0 links
We’ll look strategy detail lessons, short gain number from www.squidoo.com, setting own and to site. most things, need some content Squidoo (or similar) site, can very since are regarded search engines.
#14 Private article networks
I like of quality because the access links few competitors with.
There good networks there: Portal Feeder, instance, 50 its Network. If you’re Portal you a post it appropriate blog(s) their network. can really to through posts. It’s good getting to content.
