It is no secret. The more links you can obtain, the higher your site will rank in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Not all website owners, however, are aware of how many ways there are to obtain links.

These ten activities frequently produce excellent results.

1. Submit your site to directories. There are well over 1,000. Some require a reciprocal link or payment, but most are free.

2. Get your site listed on classified advertising websites. Many are free; others ask for very modest fees.

3. Exchanges links with other webmasters. Target sites in your niche with good Google PR. Be sure to avoid “link farms”.

4. Podcast. You really need not be a techie to do it.

5. Submit videos to video sites.

6. Try utilizing social bookmark and other social websites.

7. Issue press releases. A simple release can net you hundreds of links.

8. Start blogging and link from your blog to your website (and vice versa).

9. Write articles on subjects of interest to your potential visitors and submit them to article distribution sites. Include a a link to your website in the author’s box.

10. Make appropriate comments on blog sites and forums. Note the word “appropriate”.

If you are not already engaged in all of these activities, try at least a few new ones; the more the merrier. Soon you’ll be in position to judge which activities have the greatest payoff for the time you spend on them. At that point you are in great shape.
