1. Offer other web sites free content to post on their web site.
Include your link on all of your content. The content should
related to your web site because it will be in front of your
target audience.
2. When you visit a web site you’ve enjoyed a lot, write a
review for the site. Write about the benefits you gain from the
web site. Tell them they can publish it on their web site if
they link to your web site.
3. Allow other people to publish your e-zine on their web site.
Include your web site’s ad and link in each issue you publish.
This may also help you increase the number of people that
subscribe to your e-zine.
4. Market your web site as a free web book. Design your web site
with a title page, table of contents, chapters, etc. Just allow
other people to give away the web book by linking to your web
site.
5. Give your visitors an instant article directory. Tell your
visitors they can instantly add a free article directory to
their web site by linking to yours. Just place your ad or banner
ad on top of the article directory for your main web site.

web site visitors. Just have them link directly to the
discussion board. Include your web sites ad or banner ad at the

winners a graphic or text link to place on their web site when
they win. This will link your web site to theirs and draw more
traffic to your web site.

consulting via e-mail if, in exchange, they either link to your

Since the last Google dance reciprocal links lost some of their
magic. Before, their very existence ensured high search engine
rankings. But Google rocked the world (wide web) when it began
to evaluate the relevancy of those links. Many high-ranking
sites woke up to find themselves suddenly plunged to the bottom
of the list, replaced by newer, seemingly less important, sites.
Why? Relevancy.
Google found that its own value as a search engine was being
threatened when too many searches resulted in returns of little
or no relevancy. Realizing how damaging this was, it set out to
re-align the universe– or at least the web. And with good
reason.
Since the birth of the internet, links have been its
cornerstone. That was the entire point of the internet: For
computers at various locations (initially colleges and
government locations) to be able to “link” to each other. As it
became available to the general public, relevancy became an
issue, but only as an organizational tool. With the introduction
of commercialization, a sudden boom created a demand that a
general organizational tool be developed. And search engines
answered that need. So, in essence, search engines are all about
relevancy.
But until recently the progamming tools available to analyze
these links was limited. They could only see “x” amount of links
and whether they were in-bound, out-bound or reciprocal. While
they had the capability of analyzing millions of sites in a few
minutes, they lacked the programming to break down the results–
until recently.
The result?
Those who worked so hard to create massive link directories
(also known as linkfarms) on their sites in order to force their
rankings up find, instead, all they’ve “harvested” is link
graveyards. And, though it’s painful for them, it is necessary,
too.
But the motivation of those marketers in search of massive
amounts of links is understandable. Because, to them, link
relevancy equates to promoting their own competition. Who wants
a link that may, in some way, pull traffic away from their own
site? While that may seem possible, the truth is that is not
necessarily the case.
Understanding link relevancy — without linking to the
competition — is the key to successful reciprocal linking
today. So what IS non-competitive reciprocal linking?
Say, for example, a site sells baseball equipment. They link to
every other baseball related site– that DOESN’T sell equipment.
Little league sites, major league fan sites and sites for adult
league baseball.
But it could also, strictly speaking, move on to other sports
equipment sites. And, because baseball is a game and “games and
toys” go together, it could link to other toy sites, especially
outdoor toy sites and still be considered relevant on another
level.
Taking that one step further, because baseball is a popular
sport for kids, it could also link to school-related sites.
Then, backing up again and exploring the avenue of adult league
baseball, it could link to businesses that typically support
those leagues: restaurants and bars, for instance. And, unless
that baseball equipment league sells uniforms, it could link to
sports-uniform sites. The list goes on and on. And all of those
sites are relevant in some way to baseball equipment.
This is, of course, a lot more work than simply linking to every
other willing site. But there is a twofold bonus in this.
Because, not only will 10 well-related sites linked together do
much more for rankings in the search engines, the actual direct
links will be much more active themselves, producing
high-quality traffic that will lead to direct sales.
One of the most important factors in understanding the internet
is that it has become, like the real world, “worlds within
worlds,” (niches) or a place where whole sub-cultures can
happily co-exist without touching any other sub-culture. Yet the
magic of the internet is that we are not confined to — nor
defined by — any one sub-culture.–mo

Your success on the internet is directly related to how many
other sites are linking back to yours. The goal of every
webmaster is to get more inbound links. I have listed three
simple steps below to automate and multiply the process. Once
the process is started you will be getting inbound links while
you sleep.
Number One:
Write Articles. It is hard work to write a quality article but
you will find it to be a long term strategy for building inbound
links that will pay off for years to come in both link
popularity and traffic to your website. You may not consider
yourself an expert on a particular subject, but if you have a
website I’ll bet you are an expert on the subject you have
chosen for that website. Write an article on the theme of your
website and submit it to the various article directories on the
internet. Believe it or not, you are an expert. You just haven’t
realized it yet.
Your article will be published with a link pointing to your
site. Make sure that the text link has the keywords in it you
have carefully chosen. For example, your keywords here .
You may experience a feeding frenzy on your article. Why? Simply
because webmasters are constantly looking for content.
Webmasters are busy designing sites and are able to save time by
using expert content from other people. They often create
websites with thousands of pages and are in need of content for
those sites. And they know where the directories are that will
contain your article. Every time your article is picked up by a
webmaster, it will result in a link back to your site. In the
first few days after I submitted my first article it got pick up
and posted 400 times! I was shocked. You will be too!
Number Two:
Signup at a link exchange coop. A link exchange coop can give
you more backlinks in a few minutes work than you could ever
generate by yourself. You are utilizing a network of thousands
of other websites. And that’s what the internet is, a huge
network. Take advantage of the power of networking. There are
many link exchanges. One well known link exchange coop is:
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/?s=4380. Depending
on the size and pagerank of your site, you could earn 1000
inbound links or more my adding a few lines of code to your
website. Do some research and find the one that will bring the
greatest benefit to your site.
Number Three:
Automate the reciprocal linking process by utilizing reciprocal
linking software. Do not spend hours upon hours emailing
webmasters and posting reciprocal links to your site. Simple buy
a reciprocal link script, set it up at your website and it will
process the links, add them to your website and then it will
monitor to make sure each webmaster has posted your link to
his/her website. This will free up your time to do something
more important like writing articles. To find inexpensive
software to automate the reciprocal linking process, simply go
to eBay and type in the search phrase ‘reciprocal linking
popularity software’.
Rather than doing things the same old way, try these three
steps. They will save you countless hours. By using these time
savers you will be much more efficient in getting backlinks and
you will also get hundreds, maybe even thousands more than you
ever thought possible.

Article Submission and Posting in Forums
To start off lets look at all the junk on the internet about
getting number 1 rankings in search engines, How to get rich
over night, and all that bull. Plain and simple that stuff is a
bunch of hype to sell products.
To prove a point here if they have a secret formula to get
ranked in the top ten of the search engines. Do you think for
one minute that these authors of software, and eBooks would tell
everybody? I think not.
Getting to the topic of this article there really is a way to
dramaticly increase traffic to your websites and that is by good
old fashioned hard work. Sorry about that but there just is not
a way to get rich quick other than win the lottery. Posting in
as many forums as you can and writing articles and submitting
them can and will over a period of time not only improve your
results but will also increase the forums activity.
The amount of posts in any 1 particular forum is probably not
going to raise your page rank in the search engines but the more
you post with your signature the more people will find you
because you have more key words for people doing searches.
Remember search engines index and crawl webpages this is
important for everyone to know they don’t go to just
www.xxxxxxxx.com the key here is “pages”, like this one I am
submitting this article to.
Don’t take my word for all of this. Research what this article
is telling you and prove to yourself the plain and simple facts.
I am going to give you a simple test later on in this article
with a link to check popularity, by the way I would bookmark
this link it may come in very handy in the future.
One of the sites in my signature is www.smileycomm.com and I
posted to another forum with this link in my signature a few
days ago. Do you know that my signature actually brought up
posts from that forum as well.
Here is the link to check link popularity:
http://www.linkpopularity.com go there and copy and paste
http://www.smileycomm.com it brings up 3 links at MSN. This was
in a few days imagine what months of posting can do.
For what its worth forum admins and owners would be wise to
encourage signatures and reference links to sites that are
content relevant. This would help everyone who is actively
participating within these forums. Spam in most forums is not
tolerated my suggestion is stay within the topics when posting
and if you will be submitting articles or guides they should be
informative and entertaining with links that are relevant.
In my opinion if you use the information contained within this
short page you will increase the visitors to your site
dramaticly. If your looking for something that will happen over
night without putting in some time and alot of work then this is
not for you. I hope this guide has been entertaining and
informative
