Getting More Backlinks - What Exactly Is Your Strategy?

If you would like to get a lot of traffic from the search engines, you need to get a mass of backlinks. Getting more backlinks to your website can be as uncomplicated as submitting a lot of articles to article directories, but even with that strategy, more is needed.

You see, there are tons of people today who are already using article marketing as a simple strategy for getting high quality one way backlinks to their websites, but it can take forever to get the rankings you are after if that is all you do.

What You Need In Addition To The Tools That Are Available

There are all sorts of article marketing submission tools that can help you with the process, but your approach will have to consist of a way to get the most out of the back links you receive in addition to the articles you write.


O.k. so you're scratching your head and probably curious about where I am going with this. So let's get down to brass tacks.

Steer Clear of The Keyword Trap

For beginners it's essential to go after keywords that will have a positive impact on your financial interests. If you devote your time pursuing keywords that do not make you any money, you will wear yourself out before you start to see any profitable results.

When doing your keyword research always try to drill down beyond the main phrase that identifies your niche. A search term like "credit card debt" is going to get a whole lot of visitors, but you need to know the reason why an individual would even type a phrase like that into the search engines to begin with.

So now you have to begin thinking 'outside the box' and look at terms like "how to get rid of credit card debt" or "fastest way to get rid of credit card debt". Another term you could check out could be "how to erase credit card debt". These are just a few ideas to help you find phrases that are more likely to yield a profit because they suggest that the person browsing with these phrases wants to do something about their economic problem now.

Once you have pinned down some good keywords that will bring you highly targeted visitors, now you can start to build your backlinking plan of attack.

To be clear about one thing before we move ahead; keywords that are made up of 3 or more words are usually a lot easier to rank for and that's what you want to do as quickly as possible.

Compound Linking and Search Engine Domination

Nowadays it is a necessity to build backlinks for your backlinks. Here is what I mean...

Although links from article directories are a good way to begin your backlinking campaign, it is even better to build backlinks to the links you get from the article directories.

When I first heard about individuals linking to their content in Ezine Articles and Go articles, I thought they were out of their mind. After all why would I want to increase the pagerank of an already established website over my own?

However I soon came to realize that using this approach would help me to not only rank my websites high in the search engines, but it would also help my 'money sites' to remain there while others would show up for a moment only to disappear into the Google abyss never to be seen or heard from again.

Getting More Backlinks - The Plan Develops

So what type of links should you stack onto your article directory links? Social bookmarking your articles is one level of links that you can use. Another set of links that you can apply can come from web2.0 sites like Squidoo, Hubpages and other similar types of sites.

Once you have done that you can certainly social bookmark your hubs and lenses as well. You can cap off those links by publishing the rss feeds to feed directories. By doing this you will help to speed up the indexing of the links you do get, which will result in quicker ranking and response from the search engines. Now this may seem like a lot of work but the truth is that it really is not.

Why?

Because you do not have to pile on thousands of links to your articles. 2 or 3 web2.0 sites along with 4 or five bookmarks will do.

However it is noteworthy that with each keyword and key phrase that you target and article directories you submit to, it is necessary to vary the web sites that you use to social bookmark your links as well as vary the amount. The same is true for the web2.0 sites you utilize as well in order to maintain the appearance of 'natural' link growth to your website.

The important point here is to create a sturdy foundation of links to your money site utilizing the free article directories, web2.0 sites and so on. Because the the vast majority of article directories do not automatically approve content, you don't have to worry about getting too many backlinks too fast and getting your site penalized or banned from the search engines.

This is a very fundamental strategy that still works very well, but takes some work to execute. There are several programs available on the web that can help you to automate your article marketing, social bookmarking and web2.0 mininet growth.
