Everyone knows that getting links to your site/content is how you get your content ranked well on Google. Sure there are other aspects to organic ranking – but a linking strategy is very high on that list. There are traditional ways to get links:
- Ask your friends for links from their sites
- Put a link back to your site in all your Social Profiles
- Buy links
- Get listed in various Directories
- Trade links
These are all methods that work – slowly. Thinking outside of the box a little can work much faster. What do you have to offer people to get them to want to link to you?
- Create “Link Bait” content
- Hold a contest that has value to the people
