Use Linking to Increase Traffic - The Process
(Page 2 of 4 )
So how do you go about the business of getting links pointing to your site from others? There are a variety of ways to do this; as a writer by calling, all my favorite are related to writing. And apart from being my favorites, they have been found to work.
Writing Articles
This is the favorite of a lot of web sites (especially those on Search Engine Optimization), however it should be used by every conceivable type of site. Articles relating to the content of your site should be written clearly and concisely. You should focus on providing information that is relevant to someone who is interested in getting information on that field. It could be in the form of current news about that sector, for example, a tattoo site that writes articles about new tattooing techniques, or an article that answers FAQs.
The more different your articles are from the norm, and the fresher they are, the more likely they are to be picked up by recognized sites. At the end of the article you include a brief footer talking about the writer (yourself) and your site, which you then include a link to; you should also be encouraged to put links to pages on your site liberally throughout the page, as the need arises. And how do you get these articles out? You submit them to article directories. These are large directories containing articles, and webmasters come to pick up content for their sites from these directories. Examples include www.ezine.com and www.articledashboard.com as well as others. You will not be paid for your labor, but for every site that picks up your article, that is one positive vote on the Google PageRank algorithm.
By submitting to a large number of directories, you increase your odds of being picked up, and note: you increase the number of links to your site, since the article directories are pointing to your site. This also increases your PR, as your name becomes associated with expertise on such matters, and it helps your site branding. It is a foolproof way of getting links to your site, and thereby increasing your page rankings.
This is an excellent and risk free way of getting links to your site. It requires a modicum of creativity and discipline. If you are personally unable to churn out one or two articles a month, consider hiring someone to write them, or selling your website (that may or may not be a joke).
