It’s no secret that having links pointing to your website is very good
for search engine rankings and gives more ways for human visitors to find your
website. So, how do you get one-way inbound links to your website? Well, there
are numerous ways. I am going to focus on seven of the most effective techniques.
You probably already know about link exchanges as a great way for getting links
to your website. However, with link exchanges, you have to give a reciprocal
link back to the website that is linking to you. In this article, I am going
to show you how to get links to your website without giving a link back.
OK, here are seven powerful ways for getting one-way inbound links:
1. Content
Packing your website full of useful content is one of the best ways to get inbound
links. When you have a lot of content, other webmasters will naturally link
to you because your site will be valuable to them and their visitors.
Some examples of good content to add to your website would be; free articles,
tools, tips, and resources related to your website theme. You could also have
a blog that you update regularly with fresh content.
2. Testimonials
A big trend on the internet right now is adding testimonials to websites. The
site owners typically get the testimonials from their site visitors and business
customers. In exchange for the testimonial, they usually give a link back to
your website.
Every time you come across a great website, or have a good experience with
a purchase, send a testimonial to the website owner. If they decide to publish
your testimonial, you will get a link to your website. After a while, these
links will add up to a significant amount.
3. Online Directories
There are hundreds of online directories that accept website submissions. This
is a very good technique for getting one way inbound links. Many of the top
directories require you to pay for inclusion or provide a link back to their
directory. You can give the link back if you want, or pay if you have the extra
money. However, there are also numerous directories that will accept your website
without payment or a link back.
All you have to do is find the ones that accept free submissions and you will
get your one way inbound links. You can find quite a few directories, and some
other great information about submitting to directories at http://www.directory-pages.com/
4. Articles
Writing articles is one of the best techniques for getting one-way inbound links
to your website. Many webmasters are looking for more content for their websites
and Ezines. You can provide them with that content by writing articles and submitting
them to websites, Ezines, and article directories.
In return for your effort, you can put a little blurb about yourself and/or
your business, with a link to your website, at the end of the article. You will
rack up a very high amount of inbound links to your website by using this technique.
I have done it many times with a lot of success.
5. Free E-book
You can write an e-book and offer it for free in exchange for a link to your
website. You can also put links to your website and other affiliate links in
the e-book. Putting the links in the e-book will increase your website traffic
and affiliate profits.
You are probably thinking that you can’t write an e-book. Well, yes you
can! It doesn’t have to be some killer piece of work that you spend months
writing. Instead, you can just make it a collection of your favorite articles,
resources, and tools related to your website theme. As long as it is useful
to your visitors they will gladly link to you in order to get it.
6. Blogs
There are actually a few ways to get one-way inbound links with blogs. The first
way is simply to host a blog on your website and update it frequently. People
tend to link to blogs because they provide content that is constantly being
updated.
The second way you can get one-way inbound links with your blog is to submit
it to blog directories. Just like website directories, there are tons of blog
directories on the internet that you can submit to for free. Just do a search
on Google for "blog directory" and you will find many of them to submit
too.
The third way of getting inbound links with a blog is to host it somewhere
other than on your website. Then, provide a link from your blog to your website.
After you have done that, you can submit your blog to directories for the extra
page rank and added exposure. Use this third technique with as many blogs as
you have time to update regularly with quality content.
7. Free Article Directory
Create an article directory on your website and allow your visitors to submit
articles to it. Ask for a link back to your website in exchange for the article
submission. This will build your inbound links and create free content for your
website. I have successfully used this technique for quite a while. You can
