This is realy a problem for new websites.Whenever you are upto building links for new sites you cannot do link exchanges with already established sites because they reject your link request since your site is new and without any PR(although PR is not important,everybody doesn't know about it) Also if you get links from small directories then google sends you to sandbox. Links from article directories and (possibly social bookmarking sites) also send you to sandbox(I speak from my personal experience!)Getting links from big directories is costly and uncertain(DMOZ) So what actually do you think should be the strategy for new websites?? This is an important topic and I expect active participation from your side...
Promote your site ethically, ride out the inevitable sandbox, and see yourself emerge from the other end. You have to give it time. Alternatively, if you can't wait... go down the PPC route.
You have to be more patient.. If you have new websites make sure that you have good content, then start promoting it write an article about your site then submit it to article site, you can submit also your site to free directory site, free classified ads, social bookmarking will also help as well as forum posting.
You have to understand the reason why people links to you. 1. You know the person so just doing you a favour. 2. What you write is really so good, that they want to include you. 3. You really piss them off, and want to write a negative about you Without knowing what your site is about, I can pretty much guarantee you that I only build on one of those three strategies when I start up new internet sites. And I've been doing that since 1998.
As edward21 said, you have to be patient. Don't look up on the Sandbox as a bad thing - instead think of it as an incubator or a nursery for new Web sites. There is one way to avoid being sandboxed though - that's write great compelling content that people want to naturally link to (or so they think - human psychology is such a wonderful weapon when used properly), and make sure that both the content and the code have been optimized for the search engines while still being developed primarily for the people who will be using the Web site. That's the development aspect though. You'll also have to do things like keyword research (including finding out how many people really search for the keywords you want to rank well for), a competitive keywords analysis, a competitive site analysis (find out who your competitors are, what they're doing on their Web sites content wise, and where they're getting their links from), and determine which of those search terms are capable of getting you top rankings as soon as possible. Remember to develop your Web site and FINISH IT before you launch it.
But there are many niche where even if you write compelling content many wont link to you.Also good content drastically decreases the CTR on ads. I like to ask you a few places where I can publish my articles(other the usual hubpages etc)
What do you mean many people won't link to you? (Hang on, I have a Web development tutorial I'm writing that will be posted here in the SEO board - let's see how many people link to THAT. ) Oh, and when done properly, good content will dramatically INCREASE your CTR - if your content is decreasing your CTR, you obviously aren't writing with selling in mind. I suggest you read "Web Copy That Sells" by Maria Veloso if you want to correct that problem. As for publishing articles, the best place is right on your own Web site.
i want to concentrate only on contexual link advertisement like adsense and dont want to sell anything I speakfrom my personal experience of 2 yrs that targetted good content always has very less ctr on adsense,etc my main question was how to get links to a new site another thing: people wont link to you unless they find you through search engines
I didn't say you have to sell a product. You have to sell the content of the page. It's something that requires a different style of writing and an understanding of human psychology. Especially with something like AdSense - for example, if you're writing about a product review, you might find your click-through rates jump through the roof if you write the content in such a way that it makes people WANT to buy the product - oh and look, there's an ad for it. *click*
Very true!! no one likes to link exchange with other sites which are new or have less pr...but i agree with Dan, we need to do a complete analysis and then only step forward and make a site!! Everyone knows its not just everysite which makes fortunes..only the best ones do!!
submit to social bookmarking sites and post on relevant dofollow blogs. Do not spam, this is annoying. Also your forum signatures are a good place to start Good luck PM me for more info
