Getting links back to your website is the name of the game.

But, how do we get links to our site without running around posting on every forum we can find and submitting to every single directory?

Yeah, that doesn’t sound much fun.  Granted, we still need to do some of that type of work, but it isn’t the type of linking that’s going to be the highest leverage.

What we really want to do is very simple.

Marketing!

The absolute best way to get links on the internet is to develop good content in the form of articles, blogs, press releases, free software.  By simply creating something that your customers will find interesting.

Once we have this piece of killer content, we then need to go about marketing that content to article directories, news papers, and other blogs.

Since our article will have links back to our website in it, every time we get it picked up by another venue we are not only creating links to our site but also attracting new customers that read our content.

If we do our job properly, and the content is absolutely killer, you’ll also notice that it starts to get picked up by other venues across the internet.

With the development of social bookmarking, it’s entirely possible to have a single article that you have marketed to 15-20 websites generate hundreds of links to your site.

I’m currently in the process of testing several different submission services and directories, I’ll give you a list of my favorites once all my testing is done. :)
