Link Building Methods - Offline Link Building Methods
(Page 5 of 5 )
Network with industry peers in your local area. Get to know them. Social interaction has link potential.
Get out to trade shows, conferences and industry gatherings. Network there as well, it’s good for your link profile :-).
Put a URL sticker on your car. This won’t get you links, but might send some quality referrals.
Seduce a librarian. Try to get a link from a library site. Seduce a university professor. Get a link from an .edu domain. (Okay, not literally seduce, but you know what we mean).
Put your URL on pens, T-shirts, pencil sharpeners, caps, cups and other promotional merchandise. Some web owners might see it, visit and link!
Put a URL on the roof of your house. Google Earth users will see a website address on your roof and who knows… maybe link to you!
Content Quality Guidelines – Who Wants to Know About Your “Streamlined Web-enabled Vortals"?
Write with readers in mind. Make your stuff easy to understand. General guidelines: keep sentences to a maximum of 20 words. Mix long and short sentences. Break the pace with occasional 30-40 word sentences and follow it up with five words to create unpredictability. Bump.
Don’t use jargon unless your write for an audience that gets it.
Do not make grammatical errors. There are no excuses here. If you can’t afford Microsoft Office, get Open Office or Firefox for free with built-in spell checkers. And don't underestimate the value of having another person go over your work, especially if they have a better command of the language.
Make a detailed About Us page. Let readers know who you are. Put your awards and achievements (related to the field) in the open. Lack of authority is your biggest adversary. It is overcome with persistence in quality and referrals from existing industry authorities.
