10 Easy Ways to Build Links

As you all may know, NotOffline is a newly made website with a newly bought domain. You might be in the same predicament. And like me, I try to figure out good ways to build up my site hoping to generate a good amount of traffic soon enough.

As far as I've read, link building is a good way to generate a fair amount of links pointing to your website. Given this thought, I've come up with the 10 easiest ways for beginners to earn those links... and hopefully rank better on the SERPs

Forum Sigs

Obviously, when you engage in forums, try to utilize your signature by putting your website in it. DO NOT, however, try and enter all forums and become an official forum troll regardless if the forum even carries your topic field.

Social Bookmarking Sites

Post up and submit your entries to those social bookmarking sites where everyone seems to be into nowadays. Chances are, if a few people catch a glimpse of it and enjoy what you do, they'll browse through more of what you've done, and pass word about you.

Create a 'copy' blog

If you own a domain that hasn't been discovered just yet, try making a copy of it using Free Blog Hosting Services. Just post up a teaser entry and link back to the article in your domain. What's best in using hosts like Wordpress and Blogger is that once under them, you carry their domain - the domain that many robots trust enough to crawl ever so often.

Link Exchange

Exchange links with other websites and blogs within, provided that you both carry the same subject. Remember that there is a criteria of the relevance of sites that carry your link.

Comments

While you're in that process of befriending blogs, try commenting on their posts once in a while. Given that you provide quality comments that signify your specialty, readers on that site will be curious as to who you are and most likely follow a link through to your site.

Submit to SEO Friendly Directories

There are lots of good directories out there. Take into consideration only those on the top level, though. Some directories carry bad reputations. I suggest getting indexed by the good top 10 or 20.

PPC Advertising

There are alot of people into Pay-per-Click programs hoping to earn from it. You, on the other hand, can benefit from these people by enrolling to advertise on these programs. Again, just ensure that you target relevancy.

Hold Contests

Nothing beats a good contest. If you can shell a good few, even a simple domain giveaway, do it. People would love to flock over something they could win for free. And a lot more people would love to link and tell more people. You can also be a sponsor with regard to shelling out that cash.

Build Up More Posts

Definitely the best option you've got. You'll be recognized well if you consistently build up posts in your site, be it by crawlers or your actual visitors. People would love to read more and more. Crawlers would respect the fact that your site is continually updated, thus needs to be indexed from time to time.

These are my Top10 choices to fill up that Build Linking Solution. By the time you've done at least a couple of these, you've already built up links from different sites to yours, as well as done a bit of trust sharing from these big guys to you. Just keep in mind that relevance is important in linking, never spam and troll, and always be patient in the process of growth.
