Powerful Link Building Strategies – part 1

First Things First!

Before you go out and start asking webmasters for links to
your website – let’s consider some important things that
you must have.

Links Page(s)

The unwritten rule of getting incoming links to your site is
for you to have a link page(s) or yourself. That is how
reciprocal links work. Maybe because it’s suppose to be self
explanatory that nobody talks about it.

You can’t exchange links if you don’t have your own link
page. Who would want to link to you? So setup your link
page.

About Setting Up a Link Page

When you are setting a link page, what you DON’T want to do
is to name it link.htm. Or anything that has the word ‘link’
in it. It has been a rumour that search engines are being
cautious in identifying incoming links that are on pages
like link.htm or linkpages.htm or anything like.

Instead of naming your links page as link.htm, maybe you can
use partner-sites.htm or resources.htm or sites.htm. That
would be something better, right?

Here is another thing about setting up your link page. You
can do it manually or you can install a script to manage it.

Maintaining your links manually with HTML is rather tiring.
Installing a script would be easier. Installing a script
would actually mean a link directory.

You can surf around and search for any script that you think
would be suitable. Some are even created specifically for
building link exchange. People can come to your website and
submit their website details for approval in return for a
link to your website. Some are just plain link directory.
Which ever suits you best.

Anyway, here are some link directory scripts

Just a note though. Many of top internet marketers and niche
marketers are using Duncan’s LMA. It’s a great script and
it’s free. Below are some well-known marketers who uses
Duncan’s LMA and are very happy.

But Link Machine can also help you with your quest in search
of link partners.
