1. You Must Be Relevant

For your links to achieve the most success, they must originate
from related sites. You shouldn't just add a link to any random
web site. Search out similar sites. How do you discover which
are relevant to your own? Search for yourmain topic in dmoz.org
and find which category is listed. Any link you add to a page in
a similar topic is
ideal.

2. Remember To Be Creative

Sure, it is quick to submit the web form to automatically add
your link to a different website. They'll often seek a link in
return, but that isn't your greatest problem. One issue you may
run into is that when you add a link to a lengthy list it won't
have as much impact as links in context. If you want your
hyperlink to appear powerfully on a main page of the site, make
contact with the owner and ask. By offering to write an article
for his site (which of course will include a link back to your
site), you'll be pleased at how many webmasters will
accept.

One marketer I follow has had much success by emailing webmasters
and inviting them to submit their site to his own directory.
When the site owner responds, he will often feel obligated to add
your link on his own
site.

3. Try To Be Consistent

Taking a little action is better than no action, but steady
action is the most powerful. A working rule of thumb is to add a
similar number of new incoming links pointing to your site each
month. In this way, Using this method, your link building will
look natural and will result in the greatest jump in rank
position.

You'll also want to monitor your continued progress. There are
some good software programs out there to keep track of the number
of links to your site. They vary in complexity and price. As
you measure your growth, this will give great encouragement to
continue adding new links directed to your
site.
