Simple! Build it and they will come You sell eye glasses online. So do another 2500 web sites. Why should I buy from you? What you need to do is wow your potential customers. Maybe design a video explaining why they should purchase your eye glasses over the other 2500 web sites that are selling the same product. Write interesting content that gets people to talk. This will get people to link to your site by mentioning your web site in their: blog, online magazine, articles and etc. Pass out business cards with your URL.
The best way to get links (and we are really talking about traffic here) is to find out where your buyers hang out and then get in front of your buyers at that spot. If they love Facebook then you need to be pushing your page on Facebook. If they like Pinterest then you need to be pushing your site on Pinterest. If your buyers typically use Google to find businesses then you need to do whatever it takes to get seen on Google. "Build it and they will come" will just not work. What you really need to do is say "Market it and they will see it, then they will come". It all comes down to marketing. That is why the top brands and products in the world also do the most advertising. Even the top brands would go belly up if they didn't constantly market their products. Back to my best advice: find your buyers and go there.
Link baiting is the best type of links a website can get and only can get it if it is offering useful content, services or products that make people speak about it.
I recommend using Crowd Marketing as the main method. It’s a method of boosting your sales with the help of recommendations. The main goal is to manage the feedbacks and recommendations, so that they work for your sales. It could be Blog/ Forum Commenting, Links on QA-websites, Social Media Linking Opportunities, attracting attention by expert opinion. It should advise your product to the targeted audience. The main strategy is only 'white hat' promotions.
I think he means submitting the links into 2500 websites Building links to make your site natural to search engine is violating the quality guidelines of Google Provide interesting and engaging content for your targeted audience and eventually quality links will be generated and pass into your website
No, he didn't mean submitting, he is talking about competitors that why would a customer purchase eye glasses from you over the 2500 other similar websites? @OP: It depends on your website design, authority/popularity, user trust, quality of the product, pricing as compare to others and many other Internet marketing factors.
No disrespect here, but I believe the "build quality content and they will come" is crap advice. You can have the best damn blog and content on the web but if you suck at marketing and promoting than it does zero good. I saw someone mention a better answer --> find out exactly what your starving crowd is typing into search engines and also where they hang out online. Then create SEO optimized content around those searches and become an active member in those communities. Spot #1, #2, and #3 in Google (even with shit content) CRUSHES the best quality content marketer out there if he is stuck on page 4
Write inspirational articles and use nice imagery at the top to attract attention and spread that through social media as best you can. Get quality inbound links from industry-related guest articles.
Its called a link bait and its impossible to have this days, unless you have a very unique tool, app, or a high authority site no one will just link to your site .
Google doesn't like link baiting. Suppose you build 3-5 sites for the sake of linking back to your single main site. Then, you must take account of the following: -it will take a ton of work to develop all those sites, so probably you should better focus on a single strong main site -it's advised to have unique IP's with unique c-blocks for each site that points in to your main one -it will increase costs and work load to maintain and constantly develop your network of sites -if all you need is good backlinks - perhaps you should rather turn to guest posts from foreign sites that have already developed and grew strong -if one of your sites gets penalized (one site in your entire network), it's likely for the penalty to spread to others - it's highly probable Although, the technique of having multiple sites linking back to your main site did work well in the past, I'm telling you from experience - it's less worthy today. Until 2011-2012 max., it worked. In 2003-2005 it was a very powerful technique. Today, it's most likely a waste of time to start from the beginning. But, if you already have a bunch of well-developed relevant sites with unique content, unique IP's, then just go ahead!
Lol, he definitely doesn't means building links. What he means is that how is your business unique compared to those 2500 or so websites. What you have to offer in products or marketing that others don't. Let's say none of the competitors is running ads on Google, an opportunity to win over others. Another example, your competitors don't use Pinterest, become the first one to use and promote your business on this platform. So, it means doing something that your competition is not.
Most of the members here had the same answers and I'm the only one who quoted here. If you had the products and services that other websites don't have it doesn't mean that it will be effective because it is not the basis to get potential clients. The point is how your product interact with the users? Easy for you to say but in reality it is hard to find those websites directories above pr 2 and easily accepted the website within their listing without paying because most of them are paid links.
i am doing ti daily from last 30-40 days and getting good result, free directories take 2 months to 6 months for approval.
What about forum posting and signature links? Are they still effective tools for link building and dragging traffic to your site?
What kind of "getting good result" are you referring for? Can you discuss what is it? I would like to see the effect on your site. Is it engaging? converts well?
