Link Building Strategies

Link building can be very time consuming, frustrating and even confusing. However, I feel as though that there is no way around it. Ultimately, it is still the number 1 source to earn high rankings.

Below I am going to provide 5 good ways to build links:

1. Build a top 10 list for a certain niche or category.
2. Create a tip list. These are very easy to link to.
3. Provide comprehensive content so that your message is easy to spread
4. Submit articles to article directories. Write original content that does not appear anywhere on the internet, then submit to multiple directories. Repeat this until you see results.
5. Trade articles with other webmasters
