6 Alternate Ways To Increase Incoming Links
We all know the importance of incoming links to our web site.
The more incoming links you have, the better your position in
search engines. A measure for incoming links is the google
PageRank (PR), which you can see on the google toolbar. Another
good measure is the linkdomain command in Yahoo search. To know
how many links there are to your web site, type
linkdomain:www.mydomain.com and see the number of results. The
number of incoming links is also sometimes called link
popularity.
The number of links is not all that counts: There are good and
bad quality links. A link is generally of good quality if the
linking page has a high PageRank.
Many people think that the best way to increase the number of
incoming links is participating in link exchanges. But I would
advise against this. There are much better ways to increase your
link popularity.
1. Distribute freeware
One good was to increase your number of incoming links is
developing software or an ebook and giving it away for free. Put
up a dedicated web page on your web site, and make sure this web
page links back to your web site's home page. Then submit your
free products to all freeware and download sites. You can use
specialized software or services to do this. You can find an
example at Rudenko Software.
However, one important thing to keep in mind: Make sure that
what you are giving away is valuable. Stay away from junk. Junk
will give you a bad name.
2. Distribute articles
Another good way to increase your link popularity is by
distributing articles. Write a large number of articles and
submit them all using a specialized service. This can give great
results.
3. Press releases
Distributing a press release is very similar to distributing an
article. The results are very similar. You can distribute your
press releases for free with PRWeb.
4. Blogging
Blogging offers several ways of increasing your link popularity.
First, you can submit your blog to blog
directories. Second, you
can write follow-ups to popular blogs and post trackback links.
Third, your readers may write about your blog and post links to
your blog. Of course, for this to be effective, make sure that
all pages in your blog link to your web site's home page.
Be very careful to stay away from spamming. When you post a
trackback, make sure that your posting is relevant and that your
comments will be appreciated.
5. Wiki pages
This is often overlooked, but it's a very simple idea. You can
search for wiki pages relevant to your web site and edit them to
include a link to your web site. The idea is simple, but you
have to be very careful here. Don't spam. Only post a link on
highly relevant pages. Don't overdo it.
6. Online forums
You should also participate in online forums. Don't post blatant
advertisings in the forums, but participate in the discussions
and answer questions. Make sure the other participants start to
know and trust you. Put the URL of your web site in your
signature.
Posting comments to blogs is very similar and can also work, but
be extremely careful here. Blogs are being spammed so much that
most bloggers will not appreciate any comments that look even a
little bit suspicious. Don't do anything beyond posting very
relevant comments and including your URL in the From line.
Using a combination of the 6 techniques just discussed allows
you to have a very large number of incoming links, and to have a
wide variety in links. Each technique will give you links from a
different type of web site. Having all these diverse web sites
link to you will give amazing results, beyond anything you ever
expected.
