The Most important tip you can know about getting links and traffic... Be useful. If your content does the same thing everyone else in your niche does then you are not going to find success. You need to offer something new to your readers to get them coming back. Also, other bloggers will want to link to your site if you have resources they believe can help them or their clients/readers. That is why the big sites are the biggest. It is not because they have the most money to advertise or promote. It is generally because they provide a unique product or resource for visitors. Think of all the big time websites and blogs. They at one point were the best or first to do something like it. Amazon, Youtube, Google, etc. all of them created useful products worth linking and visiting. So, the #1 tip for getting links is providing something of value to the visitor. Then they will keep coming back and telling others. Word of mouth is the best form of success.
I wonder how many links you would get if you posted "DO NOT LINK TO THIS SITE!!" Sort of like the do not push button that everyone pushes.
Nice post! A successful SEO campaign involves creating quality contents to attract visitors. If your site is good, people will link you naturally.
Yes, nice post. By creating quality content you have better chance to get it viral. However these days it's quite difficult to come up with something totally original. What is best for the start is to find some niche where aren't many good nad quality sites and just make your site better.
