Creative Methods for "One Way" Links
Everyone knowsimportance of getting other sites to link to you andmost common way is forreciprical link. That iskind of link that Click Sentrys reciprical tools address. These are great links and should always be sought after. However, there has been much discussion about Google giving less weight tolink that is recip. One ofways to combat this is "triangle" linking but this can be very time consuming and hard to explain to new website owners. That brings us to another method:
One Way Linking
When most people think about one way linking their mind immediately turns to directories. These aregreat source (and are seemingly endless) of one way links but there are even more creative ways to get them. I am going to break it into two very easy categories - Press Releases and Article Submissions
Press Releases - New websites seem to believe that people who need their service or product will just find them because of that need. Anyone who has startedsite just to sit back and letorders or visitors roll in has been quickly reminded that despite being"web", people still need to know you are there.
There are plenty of great sites that allow you to "announce" your arrival. Even if you areestablished site you are still able to writepress release to announce any new products or tools you may have. Somehow inmove from newspapers to internet many have lostfine art of writingengaging (and self serving of course) press release. I will write another article sometime about that lost art with step by step instructions. Inmeantime, just read some ofother Press Releases and adapt your own. These press releases are spidered by google so it isgreat way to not only getlink but to also drive traffic to your site.
Here are some sites to start with:
http://www.prleap.com
: Your free press release goes to google news(news.google.com) and searchengines like yahoo, msn altavaista and you can viewhistory and statistics.
For this release, your article must be professional.
http://www.prweb.com:
One ofbest press release websites i come across. You can issue free press release which goes to related websites and article posting websites.
Forfee of sixzero+ only, your article goest to various news sites like yahoo news, business.com(iam not sure of this) and related big news websites.
Article Submissions - The second great way to gain links is to submit articles. Do you haveweb design site? Writearticle about Google starting to index flash sites. All ofgood submission sites allow you to putaboutAuthor section with links to your site in it. This gives youinstant link fromsite you submitted it to but MORE IMPORTANTLY, these sites allow other website owners to boost their content by including YOUR article in their websites. The only thing they ask is forarticle and your link to not be modified. Writegood article and you may see onezerozero's of one way links within weeks. Write onezero great articles and.... well you getidea.
