External links and anchor text

    Hi,

    I have been trying to get links for our new online store.

    I have managed to get a few links to our homepage using, most using the site name as the anchor text, although I do try to get some additional keywords in there when possible!

    I can see how I might be able to get a nice anchored link to an interesting article, but I am completely stumped when it comes to getting links with good anchor text to categories and product pages.

    The only thing I can think of is to write articles containing linked keywords to product pages and then trying to get this article syndicated.

    Any other ideas?

    I dont really understand the question. Are you asking what anchor to use to your categories and product pages ? You can always use your categories and product name as your anchor text right ?

    Sorry it turned into two questions as I was writing it.

    I am trying to find out how I can get backlinks for individual product pages on my store, rather than just to my home page.

    The only thing I have though of is writing articles, with links in, and submitting them to syndiation websites.

    Any other ideas for getting external links to product pages?

    Social bookmarking and news sites also work well. You can submit the URL directly to your product's page, and these site's also get crawled and indexed often so Search Engines will pick up on these. Not to mention the factor of organic visitors finding your links.

    EZA is the best article site - even though it takes a while for the article to get approved. Once approved - G almost indexes it w/in 24 hours.

    Hi,

    These are not our own product, but hundreds of products from other manufacturers. So would submitting these to bookmarking and news sites be a good idea?

    Can you recommend some good news sites that allow dofollow links?
