Link Building Methods - Get Government and Business Links

(Page 2 of 5 )

1. Join your local chamber of commerce and get a .gov trust link from their website.

2. Network with local colleges and universities. Get to know professors. If you have enough valuable information you can get a link from an .edu page.

3. Join the Better Business Bureau. It’s a good idea to do so even if you aren’t after links. Customers want to see proof of ethics before they open their wallets.

4. Talk to your business partners, manufacturers, distributors and affiliates. See if you can get a link from their website.

5. Submit your website to local, city and government resources. If you offer useful pages, webmasters will link.

The Classics

6. Submit your website to free directories like DMOZ. Quality is KEY.

7. Submit to paid directories like Yahoo Directory and Business.com. Quality is key again.

8. Submit to social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, reddit.com, Furl and others. Bookmark other websites on your own. If your build up useful collections, users may check your profile and follow a link to your site. There might be a webmaster or blogger who will link.

9. Submit to social news sites like Digg, Newswine, Stumble Upon and others. Make sure your content is on a non-commercial domain since Digg fans bury commercial sites, even with quality content. Digg is famous for their bury brigades who bury anything with hints of SEO, marketing or hype. Commercial domains never survive.
   
   If your story goes viral on Digg, it will get visibility from bloggers and site owners who can give you incoming links. You can go back and plug a link to your commercial domain once the story is off the Digg homepage and once you gain some incoming links.
