Increase Link Popularity With One Way Link Directories
The dilemma with acquiring one way links in your niche is that there are not many sites lining up to link to you. For the most part you have to pay for good one way links. A lot of these sites charge annual or monthly fees and the money can add up fast. For some sites it's worth it, but to the small entrepreneur it can eat into your profits and some times cancel out the benefits.
The secret to a good search engine ranking is really no secret at all. Build a quality content rich site that people love with and you'll find a lot of websites and blogs will naturally link to you and the search engines will reward you with good rankings and plenty of free traffic. But this isn't practical for everybody. Some sites are static and should be. They're commercial. Set up to capture leads, sell products and services. They're not there to provide the general public with free content. They're run by busy people trying to make money. While you should do your best to provide a quality site for your customers and the future of selling is in social networking and intimate relationship building, it just isn't practical for some. If your site is strictly commercial you will not get as much natural linking into your site as you'd like.
If you want to save money, don't have time to create loads of free content and want to improve link popularity without shelling out lots of money try submitting your site to general one-way link directories. They should be SEO friendly, meaning the directories should link directly to your website, not go through any kind of redirect. It's important to make sure they have a Google Page Rank. That way you know Google has indexed them and finds the directory to be a worthy site for inclusion. And lastly, make sure they require no link back and that they're free.
There are getting to be a lot of one-way link directories and they're fairly easy to find. Simply use Google or MSN to search for directories. You'll find lists made by SEO writers and you can take it from there. Make sure when submitting to a directory that you submit to the appropriate category related to your niche and make sure your submission title is a key phrase or word you're trying to get a ranking for. It's that simple.
Don't go out and submit to thousands of these directories at once. I recommend anywhere from 5-30 per month depending on how much time you have. Anything over that becomes spam in the eyes of the search engines. Don't get greedy… play it smart and you will be rewarded with greater search engine rankings and more traffic.
