Top 5 Ways to Build Links and Traffic For Google

#1 - Article Marketing - Use Article directories such as http://www.ezinearticles.com http://www.buzzle.com http://www.articledashboard.com http://www.goarticles.com here's a huge list but Ezinearticles is the best IMO

****Tip****
If you can justify the cost you can find writers here at DP, http://www.rentacoder.com http://www.getafreelancer http://www.need-an-article.com make sure you that you request atleast a few samples from your writer and that they can write and speak in the language you want the articles written in.

#2 - Directory Submissions - And yes the ones that seem to carry the most trust and authority in Googles eyes you usually have to pay for...well Except for http://www.Dmoz.org do not submit to the 5 below unless your site is of high quality.

http://dir.yahoo.com/ $300
http://www.business.com/ $180
http://www.botw.org $99.95
http://www.joeant.com $39.99
http://www.dmoz.org Free, but seems to be a long wait for most people..

Their is also many more directories that you can submit to but most have no editorial guidelines theirfore they typically carry little weight in Google..

****Tip*****
If you do submit your site to lots of directories than an easy way to get your listing crawled by Google faster is to bookmark the page that your listing is on....Because most directories will have your listing pretty deep in their site.

#3 - Blog Comments

You can comment on other peoples blogs to get referral traffic and link juice. Great free tool for this is http://www.commentkahuna.com/ you can find dofollow blogs and pretty much automate the process of commenting on blogs....

****Tip****
Make sure you actually read the post and make an intelligent comment...

#4 - Social Luvin

You can use the power of social web 2.0 sites to gain links, traffic and brand trust.

http://www.kaboodle.com - Social shopping, Kaboodle is great for Ecommerce sites...Install toolbar button and your ready to go.

http://www.thisnext.com - Social shopping, This next is great for Ecommerce sites.

http://www.hoobly.com - High PR classified site. Easily add your products and since they have such a high PR your listing will show up in minutes.

http://www.squidoo.com Make pages about your site and add multiple elements such as videos, rss feeds, links, articles etc...

http://www.zimbio.com - Make your own "Wikizine" - Wikizine is basically just a page that everyone can add or edit content...You can add your rss feed and then Zimbio will ping your feed and fetch the content...It's best to change up the content a little before publishing to Zimbio to avoid any duplicate filters for Google.

http://www.hubpages.com - Make a page, add elements...

These are just a few but of course theirs tons and tons more that almost everyone knows about such as youtube, myspace, facebook, digg etc...heres a huge list.

****Tip****

Its best to use unique, original, never before published content on your pages that you build and use 3 or more keywords in your title of your page..Link to your pages you build too.....Also some pages that you build will allow you to add rss feeds...Add them...You can build a squidoo page and add the rss feeds from your other squidoo pages, hubpages, article feeds, blogs etc....

#5 - Make a link bait page

Like above in this list their are two link bait pages...The first is a list of article directories and the other is a list of social sites....as you can see it works because I linked to them...

You can compile a useful report in your niche like the Top 15 worst celebrity plastic surgery procedures. Or Top 20 bloggers. Or hottest women online. Do something different, useful, funny, sexy in your niche and people will link to it naturally.

Of course their are many, many more ways for you to build traffic and links but hey this is a top 5 list ....You want more tips, techniques then just grab my free book which is absolutely 100% free, no strings attached.

superb Job James,some techniques are very good for organic SEO.

but I heard Google Punished to Yahoo Dir's Entertainment category

http://dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/ (0 PR)

Most of the yahoo links are commercial links, which means they are paid links, but supposedly they still help.

Thanks
John

 

That would have hurt!

seems this one is to
http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/ (0 PR)

And these
http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/ (0 PR)
http://dir.yahoo.com/Social_Science/ (0 PR)
http://dir.yahoo.com/Reference/ (0 PR)
http://dir.yahoo.com/Recreation/ (0 PR)
http://dir.yahoo.com/Government/ (0 PR)

Seems they are all PR-0..

Excellent stuff james. That was very much helpful to me.

 

thanx man nice post!

 

No problem everyone....

 

you only need 3 links to get #1 ^.^

 

Nice tips, thanks. But I thing quality backlinks from quality sites are better than directorys. (Except dmoz of course)

 

The best tip to get traffic is : give me your money

 

I think that article marketing is definitely a good way of getting your links, traffic, and page rank up. It's really important, though, to try all of these different tactics in increasing your results.

 

very useful tips

 

In addition, submitting a large number of articles to the same directory is not a good SEO practice, since all links from it has the same IP. am i right?
Let me know your opinions guys

 

Very interesting points.

 

Just downloaded the ebook. Thanks.

 

Nope...different sites have different Authority status and Google love.....Now if you were to set up 200 sites on the same server and link them together or shoot links to your site then they're would be a problem...but sites like Ezinearticles that is an article directory...not gonna happen....

No prob...

 

Hello
i meant; getting lost of links from ezinearticles.com would not help such as getting them from different websites (different IP and C class). The only benefit of submitting GOOD articles in bulk to enzinearticles is lots of webmaster are looking for content for their websites , so ur website will get additional votes from them, but not from the directory itself. Got my point?

 

No sorry...IMO that doesn't apply here man..everytime I make a page in Ezinearticles or any article directory that is another page that will bring me lots of traffic and link juice....

IMO when Google looks at the Ip's it looks for suspicious activity within the same network of sites to generate a pattern.....Google IMO will not bother even second guessing Ezinearticles or discounting the links within Ezinearticles whether if they are on the same IP or not...Ezinearticles is a trust worthy site and have editorial guidelines...so the links will not be discounted....
