In general, there are 2 ways to get back links to your site. You can either buy them, or you can get them for free by submitting your site to web directories. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each approach.



1) Buying links.

Many internet marketers have resorted to buying links to get back links quickly. There are several types of link buying deals you can look into. You can buy monthly links, or you can buy permanent links. Monthly deals require you to pay a monthly fee for the one way link that you place on another website. This may range from $5 to $100 upwards, depending on the page rank of the website you are advertising on. When buying links, try to buy links that are embedded in the content. Avoid buying site wide links. Google may penalize your site if you get this wrong.

Permanent links sound like a better deal because you only have to pay once. But good permanent link deals are harder to come by. To find such deals on websites with high page rank is close to impossible.

2) Web directory submission.

Now that you are familiar with permanent links and monthly links, let's discuss web directory submissions.

Web directories are websites that are setup to organize links so that visitors can find the websites that they are looking for easily. Remember Yahoo web directory? That is probably one of the first web directories that came online. It became hugely popular, and went on to become the giant Yahoo that we know today.

When you submit your links to web directories, you are actually acquiring one way permanent back links. But you can only achieve your goal if your links are approved by the directory owners. Some web directories are free, while others are paid. Usually, you may be asked to pay a small fee if the web directory has a high page rank. Stick to free web directories if budget is a concern.

On the Internet, there are literally thousands of web directories. Many of them allow submissions for free. Some may ask for a reciprocal back link, but many do not.

To accelerate the link building process, it is advisable to outsource all your web directory submissions activities to professional link building service providers. This will free up your time so you can focus on other aspects of your Internet business.

Since the price is often rather affordable, there is little reason not to outsource. Experienced submitters will be able to complete the work for you in a matter of hours.
