If you want others to link to you, of course you need to provide very good or interesting content on your web site. If people doesn’t really care much about the content of the website, then it’s not worthy for them to give you a link.
Nevertheless, linking isn’t that hard after all, there are just a few simple steps that you need to take before requesting a link from the other sites:
1. If you want your site to deliver swarms of high targeted visitors, you need to get links from web sites with a higher popularity.
First you need to get a Google toolbar from http://toolbar.google.com to know a page rank of a website – page rank indicates popularity, and from there you continue searching for good page rank sites.
2. So from where do you link to others? You need to create a new page or directory for linking purpose. This lets potential link partners see that you’re someone who is willing serious in exchanging links.
3. Get targeted linking! You should be building links from highly related sites instead of getting non-targeted links from any websites. If your site is about gardening, you wouldn’t want to exchange links with a website about fishing, it doesn’t help much.
4. Before you request a link from the other websites, put their links in your web site first. You must be extra polite in requesting for a reciprocal linking, give and you shall receive! It is the most important thing having a link to your potential link partner before them linking to you.
People are often lazy to do things, and if you already have a link to your potential link partner’s site, not only it gives them motivation, it gives them an urge of linking back to you as well.
5. Follow up. If you have not received a reply after 2-3 days, send a polite follow up. Nevertheless, always be polite and don’t demand anything. When you do this right, most probably people will be glad to link to your site.
6. Exchange for only quality links. You don’t want link farms – sites with only links but no content, web sites with really low page ranks. Try and search for a websites with a minimum of 4-5 page rank, this way you ensure that you’ll have a quality page rank as well.
7. Try asking your linking partners to put a keyword targeted anchor text when linking to you. An anchor text is the text highlighted in blue and underline, and when you click on it you’ll be directed to another site. In other words, it’s the hyperlinked text.
Let’s assume that your website is about gardening, then kindly request your linking partners to link in this way:
If you want to learn Gardening with Steve, you can visit his site about tips for Gardening and Botanical Plants.
Notice the words “Gardening and Botanical Plants?” You kindly request your link partners to make that the anchor text when linking to you. Google will favor your site with highly related anchor texts!
Start requesting links once your website is ready, everyday push yourself to request links from at least 2 webmasters, if all of them agrees, in a year you’ll have 730 quality links.
