7 Quick Link Tactics

April 30, 2007

In an ideal world, you will get lots of visitors to your blog or website from one link on an influential person’s popular website or blog.  This is worth spending time trying to achieve.  However, do not overlook the many ways to get website visitors to find your website a few clicks at a time.  If you do all seven of these, you will get a little bit of traffic from each, and it will add up to great value over time.

  • Press Release - Do an online press release and be sure to include a link to the website.  Not only will the inbound link generate some minor traffic, but your press release may get picked up by others and posted elsewhere, generating more traffic.  Try www.prweb.com
  • Squidoo Lens - Create a squidoo lens and be sure to write some great content as well as create links to your site or blog.
  • Work.com - If you can write about a business related topic, write up a work.cm guide.  Make sure you link to more places than yourself, or you may not get a very good rating.
  • Blog comments - one of the easiest things you can do is post comments on other people’s blogs.  Just make sure you add something of value to the conversation or you may get your post removed, and even if you do not, no one will care to follow your link.
  • Wikipedia - I use a great deal of care when posting something to Wikipedia.  I consider it important to add real value to a topic.  If you can justify a link on the site, you can be sure some steady visitors will be coming along to check you out.
  • Directories - I like blog catalog for blog visibility.  Lots of opportunities are out there.
  • Microsites - Create your own little website, they are cheap, you know.  Focus it on one really great topic and produce a few pages of great content and provide links back to your main website and blog.  With time, this microsite will age and get better ranking in search engines, providing another way for people to find you.

There is a wealth of opportunities to create more roads home (links to your main focus.)  Remember, quality content will always get you better results, and the more locations you have created, the more spots in search engines you will take up.

    It is a great idea using Wikipedia to get a extreme high PR backlink and definitely will boost search engine ranking. But it’s not easy to get in to Wikipedia.

Got something to say?
