By now you should know that when it comes to starting an online business, traffic means money. But how do you get that much needed traffic without paying for it? Build back links! Back links are the currency of the internet. Without them, Google, Yahoo and the others will not even know you exist. Follow these three steps to develop quality one way links.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • time
  1. Step 1

    Put it the effort - Building back links takes time. Google rewards those sites which can develop quality back links over time. It is possible to purchase links and trick Google for a short period of time. Eventually, those links will be seen for what they are...rubbish. Work on developing back links to your site everyday. Post comments on blogs in your niche that have the do-follow plug-in enabled. Join online communities in your niche and let people know about your site. Submit articles, that have a link to your site, to some popular article directories. Think of building one way links as a long-term investment in your site!

  2. Step 2

    Be Consistent - Set a goal for yourself of creating five quality back links to your site every day. Do this for over a year and you will have over 1,800 one way links to your site. Google will smile at your site and you will receive a tremendous amount of targeted traffic.

  3. Step 3

    Do Be Stupid - This is after all, the world wide web. Scammers are everywhere. If it seems to good to be true, it is. Create the back links yourself. While it does take some time and effort, you can be sure that the back links that you have created are quality links.

Tips & Warnings
  • Pick one or two keywords that you want to rank for. Use these keywords in your anchored link for more effect.
