Creating Back-links
Creating them has never been an easy job.
Until the top Search Engines change how they value a site, it is one of the most critical aspects of gaining Page Rank and traffic.
Fortunately we are no longer stuck with boring directory submissions as the only alternative.
The methods shown underneath are becoming popular as alternatives to plain directory submissions.
Allow the steps below to inspire you to think of other ways to generate back-links.
* Free directories
Boring but still relevant in your quest for back-links.
There are plenty of free directories and you can save yourself a lot of time by using directory submission software.
* Natural back-links
As your site’s stature grows, you will automatically receive organic back-links from other web masters.
This might take a little time and will be hard to crack unless you can provide information that is not available anywhere else.
* User forums and comment boxes
Find relevant forums, guest books and blog comment boxes, leave a good comment and you have an instant back-link.
Make sure your URL is part of your signature.
* Article directories
Internet Marketing via article submissions is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to generate back-links fast.
* Blogging
By creating a free account with one of the blog hosting providers, you can set up your own blog in 5 minutes.
On your blog, write content related to your site and place links back to your site.
* Software
This is an exciting idea: you can create free software yourself.
It is easy to do with tools which will help you get this right.
Once you have made the software available for download on your site, you can submit to hundreds of software directories who will then link back to your download page.You can think of a handy little software utility for any niche !
* Social bookmarks
Shared bookmarks allow other users to see which links are valuable. Create accounts on the most popular Bookmarking sites and share your site’s URL together with other bookmarks.
* Edit a Google knol
The best part of this is that no-one can edit what you wrote (unlike Wikipedia), so any knol article you write linking back to your site has traffic potential written all over it.
* RSS feeds
Create an RSS feed for your site or blog and use Feedburner to publish it to hundreds of RSS aggregators.
* The world of YouTube
By editing your video’s description box on YouTube, you have just created yet another back-link.

This way you will avoid becoming overwhelmed by all the information available on SEO and Internet marketing.
If your back-links are relevant to your site, you will not be penalized using any of the methods mentioned above.
Apply the methods and watch your traffic grow.
