If you’re reading this article because you want to know how to get some great back-links to your site then you’re in for a real treat! I’m literally going to tell you how you can start link-building right now and get one way back-links pointing straight at your website.

The first thing you’ve got to understand is that most people are really lazy. They get all fired up about building links, they go out and build a few and then, as sure as eggs are eggs, they start to get bored. It’s human nature! People don’t like the mundane and they’d rather procrastinate than get stuff done.

This is where you’ve got a massive advantage. Just by taking the time to click on and read this article you’re proving to yourself that you really want to build links! Keep going at this and you could be ranking on commercially beneficial terms within two to six months.

Proviso:

Don’t assume that these are the only link-building techniques out there. As a professional SEO I use a wide range of link-building techniques to create a nicely rounded back-link profile. Just keep reading and keep learning. I’m not going to tell you all my secrets - why would I? (Unless you’re going to pay our day consultancy fee of course!) But by keeping up with my articles you will start to learn the no fuss route to commercially beneficial SEO.

Also, don’t assume that you’re going to shoot to the top of the rankings on the back of your first foray. You’re not. What we’re looking at here is the first link-building steps - that’s all.

So what are we waiting for? Nothing! Let’s get cracking:

• First things first. Pick ten pages from your site and make a list of twenty or so anchor texts to be used in your link-building. Use a mixture of URLs (the URL of your homepage and sub pages), key words (key words that people are using to search in your niche) and branded terms (the name of your site).

When you’re following the techniques below, be sure to mix up your anchor text and the pages that you link to. No need to understand why at this stage. Just do it.

• Search on Google for a list of web directories. Just type in ‘list of web directories’. Browse a few lists, choose the one that looks the best and start working through it. Depending on the quality of your site, and the quality of the directory, you’ll probably get up to a twenty per cent success rate with the submissions. Aim to do one hundred submissions and you’ll probably get about twenty back-links.

So now you’re thinking “that guy on the forum said directory links don’t work” aren’t you? So you’re not going to bother doing any directory submissions are you?

If that’s what you’re thinking then you’re losing the battle already. You’re missing the whole point, you’re missing some of the fundamentals of basic link-building; Your links need to be spread far and wide, they need to encompass quality and integrity whilst embracing the occasional link from trashcan scraper sites and mass media social book-marking.

Directory links, exactly like the ones we discussed above are absolutely essential in creating a well rounded back-link profile. So get on it right now! Don’t whinge, or start crying because you’ve got to do something. If you want to rank - do this … Now!

Search engine is the largest traffic source for most websites. If you have created a new website, it is impossible for your website to obtain high search engine rankings. The reason is because you need to apply search engine optimization to your site so that it can rank high on search engines for selected keywords that you have targeted.

I know that it is always exciting for you to optimize your new site to achieve high search engine rankings as fast as possible. By ranking well on organic listings, you can enjoy lots of free and targeted search engine traffic to your site. You may be tempted to build back links aggressively in the hope of achieving good organic rankings quickly. However, this is not the right way to do it.

Search engine optimization requires you to build back links naturally and steadily. Link building is not a one-time project; it is an on-going process that you need to make it operational if you want to taste success with search engine optimization. And also, you should not build a large number of back links too quickly as this will seem unnatural to search engines and you will not achieve any favorable result by doing so.

So do not go about building hundreds of links in a single day. You may get high rankings initially but soon you will find that these rankings disappear very quickly too. This is because search engines will find out that you are trying to game their systems and will remove any ranking of your site from their organic listings.

What you should do is to build some links in the first couple of weeks. Write 3 articles and submit them to various article directories. If your articles are well written, they will be picked up by other webmasters and this will help build even more back links to your site. Also, you can submit your site to a few social book marking sites like Digg and Reddit.

Then for the next couple of weeks, you can participate in forum discussions. In forums, you can create a signature file where you can place a link back to your site. Every time when you post in a discussion thread, you will gain a back link if the forum allows search engines to index the posts.

One thing that you should not do is to buy links from websites. Search engines like Google will not take into account for any link that is purchased. So spending money on links just for the sake of link building is a complete waste of money. Instead, if you want to buy links, you should focus on sites that have the same target audience as you. Buy links from them to drive more targeted traffic to your site.

So the next time you are building links, you should always remember to build links naturally and gradually. Last but not least, link building is an on-going process. You must do it consistently if you want to achieve success in search engine optimization.
