Great Ways to Build one Way Links to Your Website

If you are running an SEO campaign for your website you will surely know the value of one way links to your website. However the quality and ease of getting links varies and this article will give you some advice on the best way to get those links.

Link building is probably one of the most important parts of any SEO campaign and without a good link base you will be nowhere. There are loads of ways to get links so you need to focus your attention on the ways that will be the most effective. Below are some top tips I have picked up over time:

1. Article Writing

This is something I have mentioned many times before and is a vital part of any SEO campaign. The best way to do this is to write a high quality article and submit it to as many article directories as you can. This is great because you can choose your own anchor text to appear at the bottom of the article. For each article you get approved on a directory you get a quality link to your website.

In addition to this your article also gets picked up by people who want quality content on their website and so you will gain extra links to your website. The added benefit to this is that people will read your article and often follow the link if they are impressed with what you are writing about. This is an extra way in which you can sell yourself as well as get links to your website.

2. Social Bookmarking

This is becoming more and more important to search engines as they view it as a more natural way to see your popularity. When you add content to your website make sure you add the bookmarking symbols at the bottom so that people can bookmark them. This means that people coming to your site can actually help your SEO without knowing it.

However remember to set yourself up with an account on the main social bookmarking sites and make sure that you bookmark them yourself.

3. Use Google Alerts

This is a great way of getting links and one I would definitely recommend. Set yourself up with some Google Alerts for your main keywords. You will then get informed when a new page or site or link is added with those keywords. This is great because those new sites are usually blogs and so you can go and add your link there. Not all your links will be accepted but if you make all your comments valuable you will quickly find the number of links to your website increasing.

4. Press Releases

This can be an expensive form of link building but can be very effective. If you pay a good PR company to distribute your release you will find it appearing on a lot of high quality websites. The great thing about this type of link building is that it works similar to article writing where you can embed your chosen anchor text. Another great thing is that a lot of the sites that will show your press release will have a high PageRank and so some of this will be transferred to you. However with the costs you may be limited to how much you can use this form of link building.

Remember link building is rocket science but it needs to be done systematically and consistently to ensure it has the maximum effect. Use your keywords as often as possible and target your time and effort to the most effective ways.
