What type of links do I need to get for my site. The site is http://www.thewebmasterstool.com/? Shall I just use directories and backlinks or is there something i am missing on? Thank you ASGSOFT
Get backlinks from a wide range of sources to make them look natural. Keep them on topic and relevant though. Look for directory submissions, article submissions, link exchanges, one way links.
Either natural links, if your site is useful and relevenat try contacting other webmasters asking them to link/blog/write an article. Failing that there are lots of guys that will build one way links for you here on DP.
An attractive tool may attract links Look for similar non-competitive sites for banner or traffic trades on top of listing in directories and webmaster tool lists.
