4 Ways to get High Value Link backs to Your Website By Wade Nembhard             Before the advent of Google's search algorithms, only web marketers and companies with deep pockets could hope to get top search engine rankings from floods of traffic to their sites. Nowadays, the playing field is leveled. To get your website at the top of the serps (search engine results pages), you want to make sure you have a good chunk of one way inbound links from reputable and high ranked websites. Their are five proven search engine optimization methods I highly recommend employing for your blog or website. Please note, these methods require some minor research, a touch of patience, and some basic web knowledge. 1. Post on Free Blogs You will receive one way link backs to your website every time you create a new post entry on popular free blogs. Make sure your free blog can ping the blog update services such as Technorati. Blogging is one of the easiest and most recommended methods to create valuable link backs to your website. Web users can subscribe to your blog's RSS feeds and get regular alerts from blog services whenever your blog has been updated. Also each RSS feed that is subscribed to counts as a free inbound link to your site. I discuss my top picks of free blogging services in another article I highly recommend you read. These blogs have rewarded me with fast and high valued inbound links time after time. 2. Post on Popular Forums Registering on multiple free and popular forums is the second method I recommend for a great link back campaign. It's very important though to drop comments on forums whose topics are related or closely follow the same category, theme, and target audience as your website. Its good practice to include and hyperlink keywords in your comments that are found on your site. Remember to always choose forums that allow hyperlinks in your comments or more importantly in your profile signature. The next task is to make sure these hyperlinks do not employ the "rel=nofollow" rule. If this is the case, these forums are a complete waste of your search engine optimization efforts. Search engine robots such as Googlebot do not index these hyperlinks, resulting in no inbound links to your website. Check to see whether the forum is high trafficked and high ranked. The higher the traffic/rank of the forum, the more weight the inbound link holds by Google and Yahoo's standards. Strong inbound links will push you further up in search engine results resulting in more traffic to your website.     Adland Digest Sponsor Message Be a sponsor. Place your ad here. (Spot II)   3. Submit Original Articles to Article Banks I can't stress how important this method of inbound linking is. If you have the gift of writing, or better yet if you can simply write about topics and use spell-check, then your website will benefit greatly by submitting your articles to article banks. As with any form of inbound linking, use only those article banks that are reputable, adhere to search engine optimization rules, and do not employ the "rel=nofollow" rule in their hyperlinks. I name a few good article banks in another article I wrote concerning good SEO. I've written reusable articles 3 years ago that are still sending back hundreds of great inbound links to my websites. The key is to write about topics that don't expire or become stale. Two great example of constant recycled articles are those about money and finance, and sex and relationships. Its a good rule of thumb to keep the articles around 300 to 700 words. Each article you submit will most likely have a signature line with an inbound link to your site, and each time someone uses that article they are required by article banks to keep your link in that signature section. 4. Submit content to Social Bookmarks Social bookmarks are the new golden child of search engine marketing. They're free and heavily used for content building on millions of websites. Most major portals utilize them to get their articles, videos, and images distributed to a broader reach of web users. A major advantage of social bookmarks is that once submitted, your articles get indexed by Search engines a lot faster than simply waiting for search spiders to crawl your site and index pages. Each submission creates a valuable inbound link. I generally submit articles to about 14 high trafficked social bookmarks, such as digg, stumbleupon, delicious, and mixx. Follow these methods and you will see an enormous turnaround in traffic and search engine rank in a short moment.   About the Author: Wade Nembhard is a web entrepreneur, who specializes in web site marketing and search engine optimization.

(Spot III)   Link Building Advice By John James   In order to get your site listed in the search engines for keywords that you are focusing on your best bet will be to get "Link Building". Link building is where you have external sites (outside of your own) linking to your site with terms (anchor text) that meet the keyword needs that you want to draw visitors to your site with. To give you an example, if my site was related to cricket bats and the keywords I was focusing on for SEO terms was cricket bats then I would do the following. I would contact external sporting associated websites and ask if they could place a link to my homepage with the term "Cricket Bats" as the anchored text. I would do this for a few external sites, and then for a few others I would change the anchored text slightly to "Cricket" and "Bats" and "Cricket Gloves" also for example. The point I am trying to get across is that you do not want to just have one main term - you want to also build links to your site around other terms. One other factor you also need to consider is not just to focus on your homepage, but to also focus on some of the pages that are much deeper down in your site to be linked to from external sites. So if you have a page about Cricket Bat Care then get an external site to deep link into this page with the term "Cricket Bat Care". The next phase of link building is choosing the right external sites, you do not just want to pick any and every site to get links from. Ideally, you need to pick sites that are relevant to the content you are displaying on your site. This is far easier said than done but if you can then this is the way forward. It would also be of benefit to get sites that have a high Google Page Rank to link to you... again this is not always easy but it can be an important factor in getting indexed quickly, regularly and also boosting your own ranking in the search engine so don't underestimate it.   About the Author: These points relating to Link Building are brought to you by John James who is a fan of London Sightseeing Tours from Evan Evans.
