Link Building Tip
Link Building Tip.
Here’s one of the strategies I use to build links from other sites. It uses a combination of article writing and Google Alerts.
Step One: Write some articles.
Start writing articles and ideally make sure they are related in some way to your business.
I suggest you prepare at least a couple of articles. Don’t write them in Microsoft Word. Try to use something like Notepad. I’ll explain why in a minute.
When you have a couple of articles of about 400 to 700 words each, you should then submit them to the article submission sites.
Here are a couple of sites I use.
Article submission sites are great for getting your articles distributed around the web. Not only do they send articles onto other article distribution networks, but lots of website owners come to these sites for content to put onto their own websites.
When you submit your article to one of these submission sites, you are allowed to add an “About the Author” paragraph to go with your article. It is here that you put a link back to your website using whatever keyword phrase you are trying to optimise on.
To submit your article it is simply a case of copy and paste from your prewritten articles. I tend to have an “About the Author” paragraph already prepared to copy & paste as well.
Now the reason I suggested using Notepad for your articles is because when you copy from Word it tends to bring with it certain formatting issues and these can cause you article to be rejected by the submission sites. Notepad doesn’t have this problem.
Step Two: Find out who’s using your article.
By using Google Alerts you can set up alerts for each of your articles. You basically tell Google to alert you if it finds your phrase being used on the web. I tend to use the article name as the alert phrase if it is fairly unique. Otherwise try using a distinctive line from your article.
Whenever Google finds your alert phrase, it sends you an email with the web address of the site where it found it.
You can now check out this site. If you think it will give you good traffic or pass on good page rank, you can contact the website owner. As they already have one of your articles then they probably like your material so you can either offer more articles (with links of course!) or even point them to pages on your site that they should link to because the content would be of interest to their visitors.
So there you have it. One of my tips for building links back to your site.
By the way, you might just like to put your website name into Google Alerts as you’ll be surprised how many alerts that can generate and you can find many places mentioning your website.
