We need links from 5 to 10 sites. You can submit to more site if you have the time, but 5 to 10 will do nicely for now.

I’ve managed to put together a list of 35 of the best social bookmarking sites that will give you the quickest results.

So choose 5-10 sites, register an account at each of your selected sites, and post some content about your site to each site.

It doesn’t have to be a 500 word article that you write, but it must be worthy of inclusion. So aim for something between 50-150 words. Don’t go over-do the sales pitch for the site, keep in relatively low-key.

So here are the 35 sites and their PageRank as calculate in February 2009

Next, we have to get the search engines to visit your new posts and come visit your website; we are going to do this via pinging.

See part 3 for the section on how to get the search engines to these new links and then get them to your website.

So here are my fastest and quickest way of getting getting quality links pointing back to mywebsite.

Placing a value added comment on someone elses blog, that contains a links back to your site is an excellent way to get links.

Simply using Google and search for your main keyword . Let say you have a site about dog training so use the following goolge search :

“dog training” comment

Note how I wrapped dog training in double quotes, this make the results be much more specific.

No go through the listings that come back and find quality posts and make comments on the post.

Do’nt post rubbish like “please tell me what you think of my site at www….” this is not going to get you anywahere.

But read what the post is about and then make a value adding comment.

The vast number of blogs have the “no follow” tag enabled, so these won’t have as much link value as those blogs that are “do follow” enabled. But both add towards ytour link popularity and can build significant “real visitor” traffic to your website.

Article from (web site secrets)

To get recognised and listed in the search engines your website needs to have links from other sites pointing to your site.

The more incoming links your site has the better the site will perform in the Search engine listing.
You can think of each link that points to a site as a vote cast for that site. The site with the most number of votes, and hence the most popular, succeed in the listing. So it is essential that you try and get as many links pointing to your site as possible.

1. One way & Recipricol Links
Imagine that I find a great website that I think the readers of my website would really benefit from. I then make a link pointing to this site saying something like, “Hey check out this great site all about model aeroplanes”.
This is defined as a 1-way link. There is no link on the other site poimnting back to my site.

Recipricol links on the other hand are setup in the manner of :
“I’ll give you a link if you give me a link”

Search eangines naturally treat one-way links as having a much higher value than recipricol links, but it is far easier to get recipricol links than 1-way links.

One of the more common methods that people have used for years to get recipricol links is to use the following methodology:
- Find the top 100-200 sites in the search engines that are related to your website’s topic.
- Look through the website and note down any contact details they might have. If there is none, then go to whois.sc and do a lookup on the domain. This will give your the registrant name and email address.
- Send each website owner an email saying what you liked about their website, and you have given them a link on your website, and you would appreciate it if they could link back to you.
Don’t expect a great response rate. A lot depends on how you word the email you send out, but 1-5% response rate is generally regarded as acceptable. I have heard stories of people gettin response rates of 20-30%, but these are exceptional cases.

2. Links in blogs.

Naturally if you have any blogs of your own, make post in them containing a link to the site you wish to promote.
Don’t make every post you have point only to one site. Search engines are intelliegnt enough to know that this is nothing more than “spam linking” and treat these links as having almost zero value.

But post that contain valuable information and contain only a few refrences to your new site are well worth while.
Don’t confine your blog post to only your blogs! If you can make blog posts on other people’s blogs then do that as well.
Failing that, comments attached to other people’s blogs are also a great source of incoming 1-way links. Admittedly this techniques has been heavy exploited by “link spammers” in the past year or so is loosing some of its effectiveness.

3. Link Directories

Link directories are basically websites that list other sites grouped together into categories. The site gives you a 1-way link.
Some of these link directories have very high PageRank (a PR 9 in the case of DMOZ.org), and so are very important links to have pointing to your site.

Admittedly not all link directories do the “right thing” by having the link on thier site point directly to yoyur site. instead they redirect the link via some internal code, so the search engines don’t count the link as a 1-way link to your site.

You can find a list of search engine “friendly” directories at

http://www.online-money101.com/list-of-directories.html

Currently the list holds about over 200 sites that could give you a 1-way link that have a pagerank of 1 and above.

It would take almost forever to manually submit your site to each of these link directories, so I strongly suggest you use a program like www.directorylinksubmitter.com
This will allow you to submit your site to nearly 400 directories. Its so easy a 10 year could do it..

4. Forum Postings

This is an very under-utilised method of getting 1-way links to your sites.
Simply find some forums that are on the same topic your website. Join these forums and start answering user questions, if you know the answers are simply start asking some intelligent questions.
But before you do this, make sure you edit your forum’s signature so that it includes a link to your newly created site.
Then every time you make a post to the forum, it will show as a link to your site.
Search engines *love* forums almost as much as they love blogs.
This is becuase forums are focused and full of user generated content.

5.RSS Feeds

An RSS feed is simply a XML formatted file that contains headlines or snippets of news of what is new at your website.
You simply submit your RSS feed to RSS directories (find a list of over 40 RSS directories at http://www.online-money101.com/wp/15/rss-directories/)
Other people find your RSS feed, and will then display it on their website. This gives you a 1-way link back to your website.

6. Articles

Writing article and submitting them to article directories site is a very powerful way to get links back to your site.
It seems like every webmaster these days is chasing fresh content for their websites and are always on the look out for articles that would be of interest to their readers.
Simply write an article say, 300-500 words in length. Include a resource box at the bottom that contains a few lines describing your site and a link back to your site.
I like to submit my articles to EzineArticles.com, GoArticle.com and ArticleCity.com

There is software available that can submit your article automatically to dozens of article directories.
Well worth checking into these software packages.

7. Last, but not least. You can actually submit your newly created website to the searcdh engines themselves.
For Google, go to http://www.google.com/addurl.htm
For Yahoo, go to http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
For MSN go to http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx?FORM=SUNO

There are so many different ways to get links to your sites. Just choose some of the topics listed above and start linking..

If you have to move a website from one domain to another, it will mean that all the links pointing to your old site would now be lost and would generate the dreaded 404 error when visitors came in via old search engine listing or links.

The best way to preserve your links, and have visitors end up on their required page is to setup a redirect from the old domain to the new one.

In this example, we are going to assume that we use to have a domain called OLDSITE.COM and for some reason we have to move everything across to NEWSITE.COM

The first up, don’t kill the hosting for the old site but leave it operating for some time. This will then allow us to redirect visitors from the old site to the new site.

A 301 redirect simply tells search engines that visit your site that the old URL has now permanently changed to another URL. Once the search engines find the 301 redirect they will start to convert all the old links in their index across to the new location.
This will take some time and on site sites, this may take months to have the search engines convert all the old links across to the new locations.

An .htaccess file is nothing more than a simple text file that contains instructions for the web server that run on that hosting account.

On your PC, start a copy of NOTEPAD (This can be achieved by going Start->Accessories->Notepad) and edit your existing .htaccess file or to create a new one. DON’T use Word or any other word processing software to open the file, because these packages have the horrible habit of inserting “funny” characters in file that will cause the .htaccess file to not function properly.

If your new site’s structure is exactly the same as the old site, then simply place the following line in your .htaccess file

Redirect 301 http://www.NEWSITE.COM

Now save the file, and FTP this file up into your websites main account. On most Linux based systems, this is the /public_html/ directory

Now, whenever a visitor (be it a human or a search engine bot) comes to your old domain, they will be redirect to your new site. So if they came looking for a file called stuff.html (old URL would be www.oldsite.com/stuff.html) they would get automatically redirected to www.newsite.com/stuff.html

This is the easiest way to move an entire site from one domain to another…

If the structure of the new site is different from the old one, then we will need to “map” each old URL to its corresponding new location. This also applies if you decide to change the structure of your site, and you want to preserve the links from your old structure and ’map” them to their new location.

If you have a URL that was www.oldsite.com/dogtraining/ and you wanted to redirect visitors to www.newsite.com/info/dog-training.html you would place the following in your .htaccess file.

Redirect 301 /dogtraining/ http://www.newsite.com/info/dog-training.html

The format is:
Redirect 301 old-location new-location

The “old-location” is the path to the old destination (minus the domain name)
The “new-location” is the full path to final destination (it must include the fully qualified domain name as well).

This means that when every a visitor comes in on the old URL (www.oldsite.com/dogtraining/) the web server will redirect them to the new URL of (www.newsite.com/info/dog-training.html)

If you have multiple locations that you want to redirect, then you have to have multiple redirects set up. With one redirect per line. An example might look like this:

Redirect 301 /dogtraining/ http://www.newsite.com/info/dog-training.html
Redirect 301 /policedogtraining/ http://www.newsite.com/info/police-dog-training.html
Redirect 301 /dogtrainingvideos/ http://www.newsite.com/info/dog-training-videos.html

It is time consuming setting up 301 redirect, but if your site had valuable incoming links, then its worth spending the time to preserve those links and keep your website ranking as well as it used to and to keep your site profitable.
