Website promotion using links

As you may or may not already know, most of the major search engines base their results in large part on how many sites link to your site and what anchor text (the text in the link) is used. For this reason, a site which does not have a lot of links pointing at it will usually rank pretty badly in the search engine results for any competitive keywords.

In order to solve this problem, a website owner who wants to receive more traffic from a search engine must take an active approach to link building. The following tools are excellent resources for building links to your website:

Link Vault
Link vault is an excellent tool which allows webmasters to partially automate the process of trading links with other webmasters. This is not, however, something which can easily be used on a professional business website.

List of free directories
By submitting your site to many of these directories, you can increase the number of links pointing to your site very easily. Some of the directories require payment to be included but most allow you to submit your website for free.

Note: We are strongly against websites which provide little or no use to the end user and therefore, if you want to make money online, make a website with good and useful content. By providing a website with good information you will get much more traffic and money than with a website with just advertisements on it.
