Link Building

Get your visitors to build one-way links to your site by adding a small "AddThis" Bookmark, The benefit to your visitors is they can find you easily, use a portion of your content on their site, or quote your site. The benefits to you are a quality 1 way link to your site and great exposure.

Another more laborious & time consuming way to build links to your site & content is with Google Alerts.  Sign up for Google Alerts with keywords that relate to your site content. When you receive the email from Google, hop over to the site that Google tells you is relevant, read the article, post a comment with a link to your site.

The key is to put your site out there in forums, blogs, and articles. As long as you have relevant comments the site moderator will approve your addition. Remember that you do not want to start spam linking. Your site content must be compatible with your comment post.

To see what links you have to your site use Yahoo's Site Explorer. This tool will allow you to see links that may not be seen on Google yet or Google deems them not sufficient to list. You can also add your site & site feed here.

Don't forget to use sites like Twitter, YouTube, Digg, MySpace, FaceBook, and LinkedIn to announce your site, new blog post, or article.
