1. You Must Be Relevant



For your links to achieve the most success, they must originate

from related sites. You shouldn't just add a link to any random

web site. Search out similar sites. How do you discover which

are relevant to your own? Search for yourmain topic in dmoz.org

and find which category is listed. Any link you add to a page in

a similar topic is

ideal.

2. Remember To Be Creative

Sure, it is quick to submit the web form to automatically add

your link to a different website. They'll often seek a link in

return, but that isn't your greatest problem. One issue you may

run into is that when you add a link to a lengthy list it won't

have as much impact as links in context. If you want your

hyperlink to appear powerfully on a main page of the site, make

contact with the owner and ask. By offering to write an article

for his site (which of course will include a link back to your

site), you'll be pleased at how many webmasters will

accept.

One marketer I follow has had much success by emailing webmasters

and inviting them to submit their site to his own directory.

When the site owner responds, he will often feel obligated to add

your link on his own

site.

3. Try To Be Consistent

Taking a little action is better than no action, but steady

action is the most powerful. A working rule of thumb is to add a

similar number of new incoming links pointing to your site each

month. In this way, Using this method, your link building will

look natural and will result in the greatest jump in rank

position.

You'll also want to monitor your continued progress. There are

some good software programs out there to keep track of the number

of links to your site. They vary in complexity and price. As

you measure your growth, this will give great encouragement to

continue adding new links directed to your

site.
