Having other websites linking to you is one of the most powerful SEO strategies there is.

Here are some of the most powerful and effective ways I know of gaining the highest quality of links…

Submit your blog to one of the most influential search directories in the world…

DMOZ Directory
(Submit to DMOZ only after 10-20 article posts)

This is probably one of the hardest search directories to get your website listed on. But once you’ve done it the value is huge so it’s well worth submitting your blog there.

Write 500-700 word articles…

Article writing will always be one of the very best linking strategies around. All  you do here is write as many articles as you can with resource boxes that link back to your blog.

Here’s how it works…

You give people great content which establishes your expertise, you’re then rewarded with traffic and backlinks, sounds like a great deal if you ask me!

Once you’re written your articles submit them to these website here…

EzineArticles.com
AricleDashboard.com
ArticleCity.com
GoArticles.com

The great thing about this strategy is even if no-one reads your articles they’ll still be linking to your blog from the article directories. It’s these article directores which Google loves!

Post your comments on other people’s blogs…
Comment on other people’s blog posts and including a link back to your blog in the form works great at building links back to your blog and helps you build friendships. However be sure to avoid using a keyword phrase as your name because this is one sure fire way of having your comment deleted.

You quickly and easily find blogs to comment on right here:

Not all links are created equal

What I’ve just shown you are the best ways of getting started with building up 100’s of in-bound links.

WARNING: Not all links are created equal.

You see a link to your blog from a bad online neighborhood could do your search engine positioning more harm than good.

For example NEVER EVER have your link added to a link farm directory! Even if it’s on the same subject as your blog. These are a total waste of time and are usually only created by new or desperate web masters who don’t know any better.

If you follow all the linking strategies I’ve outlined above you won’t need anything else, they’re that powerful!
