How to Get One Way Backlinks
Author : Matt Colyer
Don't be fooled into believing that all backlinks are created
equal because their not! Why, you may ask? It's no secret that
many webmasters trade links left, and right, for the benefit of
a higher ranking in the search results, but search engines have
caught on to this technique, and are very aware that this is
major threat to the relevance of the search results.
Search engines such as Google have took steps in an effort to
prevent this from becoming major problem by placing more
importance on one way backlinks. So, how do you get one way
backlinks to your web site? Well, there are number of ways to go
about this, but the most effective techniques are listed below.
1) Having a useful, and valuable web site, especially if your
web site is free, (Such as providing articles, tools, games, and
software.) will cause other web sites to link to your web site.
Why? Because by linking to useful, and unique web sites offer
value to their own web site's visitors, and therefor increases
their own value. This one can take while to really pay off
because like all new web sites, you won't get much traffic.
2) Getting listed in directories, especially related ones, won't
only bring you tons of traffic, but will also improve your
search engine ranking. The two most important directories to get
listed in are the ODP (Otherwise known DMOZ), and Yahoo's
directory. You can also find directories that are related to
your web site by searching with your favorite search engine with
your keyword, and adding at the end resource or directory.
3) Writing articles, and submitting them to Ezines, and article
directories, which are than picked up by webmasters looking to
add content to their own web site, which will get you tons of
one way backlinks. You can also find web sites that are related
to yours, and ask them to publish your articles. When writing
these articles make sure they are related to your web site, so
that the link will appear more relevant to your web site's theme
to the search engines.
4) Write a unique testimonial for products, or services, and put
a link to your URL in it. Many webmasters will accept the deal
because this will cause more visitors to buy their products, or
services. If they decide to publish your testimonial you'll get
a free backlink to your web site. Before you write the
testimonial make sure you understand the product.
5) Participate in forums that are related to your web site's
subject, which also allow you to link to your web site in the
signature, make sure to read the rules first though. They will
send you visitors that are interested in your web site, and will
provide a related backlink to your web site.
6) Anytime you first start a web site, add a new product or
service to your web site write a press release about it. Submit
your press releases to news sites such as PRWeb. Make sure that
the press release is attention grabbing, and unique, this will
make other webmasters add the press release to their web site.
