It’s not always easy to convince someone you don’t know to add a link to your site, sure you can do reciprocal linking but most of the time your link winds up on a page with no content, no page rank and hundreds of other links making it look like a link farm.

This is not the case when you’re the one creating the content of the page that will link back to your site, leaving you with full control over content, keywords and SEO strategies. Your content also has a greater chance of absorbing some of the sites higher page rank as a content page, rather then a related links page.

Responding to questions on forums

Participating in forums is another good way of getting your word out there and creating an interest in discovering a new site. however be fore warned that if you arrive there brand new to the forum and start posting your links before you pay your dues (participate for a while), you will be marked as a spammer and banned from the forum.

When you are confident enough you have made a name for yourself you can start adding a signature to your posts. The post must be an intelligent response to the question or it will also be viewed as spam. You can also use the same technique commenting on other people’s blogs.

Submitting your site to every known web site on the internet

Unless you luck out and get some links on high ranked pages it will take you lots of links on page rank 0 to make a slight improvement on your page rank, i'm not saying don’t do it, i’m just saying that the two previous methods are muchmore effective.

Some argue the only page ranking worth getting is the illusive high page ranking, others say its the amount of back links to your site that counts, I say you need both, the high page rank is more effective but is very very hard to get, for free that is. the low page rank will be available everywhere but it will take lots to make a difference in your page rank, however it doesn’t hurt to have links spread all across the web pointing back to your site.

My suggestion is to start with the first two methods and then on a regular basis, everyday, once a week, ever two weeks, once a month, set yourself a target amount of back links and make it happen. One note of caution, don’t try and get a huge amount in a short period of time, the PR engines keep an eye out for this and view it as possible spamming and it might do more harm then good. This is why it is best to spread it over time.

Page ranking strategies are more of a long term project then a quick fix, be patient it takes time and lots of effort. The higher your page rank is, the harder it will get to get to the next level, but if you look at the top ranking search results, it is well worth the effort.
