In the world of Internet Marketing, Affilaite Marketing and SEO – there is one thing you need to be doing and to do it right – Building Links. Now in the world of link building there are dozens of methods you can use – and today I am going to give you a couple of tips on how to get links to your website to hopefully build traffic and the organic rankings – and your aweber subscriber list!

  1. DoFollow comments: Dofollow comments on blogs like this one are great – you are effectively getting paid to ask questions to the author, the payment being a link to your website. there are many sites you can arrange for this to happen – and ill give you the biggest tip of the day – add a comment to this post and I will guarantee as long as I dont think your a spammer – you will get a Link!
  2. Paid Links: Paid links are also quite good if you need links quickly, however from an SEO perspective Google & co are doing all they can to detect and make them worthless – add this to the monthly cost to keep the links and you realise you need more than the search engine traffic.
  3. Manual Link Building: My god this is a long and laborious task. What you need to do is find web sites within your niche, and request the web master adds a link to your website – In my experience you may receive 1 email back from every 40 sent! And less than 1 in 200 turn into a link!
  4. Directory Submissions: Yes directory submissions are easy ways to get links – another great site to goto is click-webdirectory – and again as long as it is not a spam site I will guarantee a link to you! Companies like backlinks.com offer this service and from my past experience they always have a great selection of links should you wish to use them
  5. Article sumissions: In all honesty – these are great for your websites rankings – an article of your choice published with links with the correct anchor text etc etc – wow isnt that amazing? Well there is one downside – realistically to obtain the best benefits of this process, you need to ensure that each article directory has a unique copy of the content and this will add hours onto the process…

  1. What do you think about Link Building via Blog Commenting? I mean both nofollow and dofollow blogs.


  2. Blog commenting is one form of link building, as per every method of traffic generation you need to monitor everything you do both on and off the website to track the revenue earned from the site. On this site at the minute we have a DoFollow policy and this is part of the sites growth strategy, and it is a key part of our strategy.

    If you are on the web to purely search out the links, nofollow blogs will provide you with a small benefit in terms of traffic however will not help you to push the traffic level – and you need to monitor those carefully. However at the same time if you are link building purely for a search engine optimisation purpose then your time is better spent on doFollow blogs like this one adding relevent links.
