5 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR LINKING STRATEGIES.

By Chris Varsamis

It’s a common fact that link popularity

is the primary factor for top

search engines ranking. The old techniques

like meta tags are secondary

ranking factor or even lower

( with the exception of the Title tag

which is still extremely important).

So how can someone increase link

popularity?

First of all let's try to stop

the myth of multiple submissions.

Link farms and FFA pages are not linking

strategies. Yahoo and Google are extremely

clever for accepting that kind of links.

Maybe it worked before 12-24

months but not today. There is only

one way to succeed. One at a

time.

Here are some of the most advanced

ways to get links fast:

1) Articles.

One of the best ways to get links

is articles. There are many directories

collecting articles which can be

republished to other ezines with your

signature. You can always use some of

them:

http://www.ezine-news.com

http://ezinearticles.com

http://www.ezinesearch.com

http://www.ezineworld.com

http://www.e-zinez.com/articles

http://www.allnetarticles.com

http://www.ideamarketers.com

Of course there are hundreds more

if you search.

2) Reports.

A report is bigger than article.

It is approximately 1500-3000

words. It's a great linking tool

if you spread it around the net.

Users are always searching for free

valuable content. Give

emphasis on that phrase "valuable content".

It's what makes the difference.

3) Link partner directories

This is also a great tool where you

can find link partners fast.

These people are link minded and

they are searching for link partners.

But be careful. Don't spam them with

multiple submission techniques.

One at a time. You must personalize

your efforts for better response.

Here are two very good link partner

directories.

4) Free e-books.

Another great linking tool.

Although it's been used for

other purposes too it is a great

promotion instrument. You

should consider though that the

competition is extremely high, so

the same rule applies here too.

Valuable stuff. Don't recycle.

5) Your own affiliate program.

If you have your own product or service,

launch your affiliate program

as fast as you can. It is the

ultimate linking tool. Imagine

having 1000 affiliates promoting

your site and even if

a part of them are not active,

imagine what they can do for

your link popularity using your links

to their site .

Remember your link strategies is a

continuous effort. Don't expect to

promote for a week and wait the cash

to roll in .It won't happen.

To verify the importance do a little

research. Search to Yahoo your Top 1

ranking site in your niche and then

put the whole URL to the search box

and enter. It’s something like this

http://www.firstsite.com.

Then you will see a great number

of sites including its link.

That's why it's No 1.
