How
To Get Incoming
Links To Your Blog
While
writing content for your blog should be a priority, actually
getting people to read it is just as important. There is
no point adding new posts to your blog if you are not going
to promote them. To get more traffic from the search engines
and referring websites, you need to start gaining incoming
links and there are many ways to do this.
Link
Bait
The
term "link bait" refers to anything on a website
that encourages other websites to link to it. The most common
type of link bait is a controversial or sensational article
which attracts a lot of attention and gives your blog more
exposure. If the quality of the content is good it will
get a lot of incoming links.
As well
as writing content, there are also other ways in which you
can use link bait on your blog such as interviewing a famous
blogger in your niche, compiling a detailed list of resources
about a specific topic, writing a free report or ebook that
you can give away for free on your blog, creating a widget
that other people can use on their blog, etc...
Commenting
Leaving
comments on other blogs can be a great way to generate traffic,
but the links will not count towards your total as most
blogs use the "no follow" tag which stops the
search engines from following the link. But there are a
minority of blogs that have disabled the "no follow"
tag so any links in your comments will be recognised by
the search engines.
If
you visit the Do
Follow Blogs Directory you will find a large
selection of blogs in a variety of niche markets that have
disabled the "no follow" tag. As long as your
comments add value to each post they will be approved by
the blog owner and the link you specified will be displayed
under the post.

Blogs
If you
haven't already done so, you need to start building relationships
with other bloggers in your niche. To do this, you need
to start contributing to their blog on a regular basis by
leaving comments on new posts, linking to their blog, contacting
them by email, and offering to be a guest poster.
It works
best if you find blogs that are at a similar stage of development
to your own as they will be far more likely to link to your
blog. This may be difficult if you have a new blog, but
as your traffic and page rank increases you will be able
to exchange links with more successful blogs.
Guest
Posting
As well
as generating traffic and giving your blog more exposure,
guest posting can also be used to get incoming links to
your website. Most blogs allow guest posting, as long as
the content is good enough, so you just need to contact
other bloggers and offer your services. Make sure that you
use your chosen keyword phrase as the anchor text for the
links.
Social
Bookmarking
If you
allow visitors to bookmark content on your blog using services
like Digg and Delicious you will start to get incoming links
from social bookmarking websites. If you are constantly
adding high quality content to your blog which gets bookmarked
by your readers, the amount of incoming links that you get
from social bookmarking websites will steadily increase.
Articles
Writing
articles and submitting them to article directories like
Ezine Articles will also help you get incoming links to
your website. Each article will have your resource box which
includes the link back to your website. Anyone who wants
to use your article on their website must include the resource
box so that the original author gets credited with a link.
This
is a brief summary of how to get incoming links to your
blog for free. Creating a high quality link bait page is
by far the most reliable way of generating a large number
of incoming links as quickly as possible. Its a great strategy
to use if you have just started a brand new blog and need
to quickly generate traffic and improve your link popularity.
