Follow these tactics and you will be blasting your website url everywhere, especially on other high traffic sites that matter.
Commonly known as 'linking', this method can be a powerful traffic tool if utilised correctly. Turbocharge your website traffic easily using SMART linking strategies you will discover below.
Check out these 5 killer linking tactics you can use immediately for maximum impact :
1. Make Use Of The Search Engines!
A neat reciprocal linking technique I use to increase my own website's search engine ranking.
With this, you can effectively 'piggy back' on your competitors' ranking and traffic!
Just go to the major search engines like (http://www.google.com) and type in your own website's main keywords. With the results, contact the top 50 or so ranked websites asking for reciprocal links.
Most of them will be willing to exchange links with you as it also improve their own ranking and traffic.
The beauty of this technique - you get to 'plant' your own website url on your competitors' websites! And remember, these are established, highly-ranked competitors.
Having your link on the websites of your competitors can massively improve your link popularity and bring targeted traffic to you. What a way to improve your website's search engine rankings fast!
The above tactic works. But note that other aspects of search engine optimization must be taken into consideration. This includes having good meta tags and content, for instance.
2. Make Use Of Articles
This amazing viral tactic produces powerful results.
Write regular articles or tips and submit them to article listing directories. Get them published in other ezines. Get them posted on other websites. Get them everywhere!
Your articles always contain your website url in their 'resource box'. So with them listed on high traffic directories, they can help you ranked better in the search engines too.
Similarly, thousands of ezine publishers hungry for content may select your articles for publication in their ezines, or posting on their own sites. Your articles can spread virally this way, through your single action of posting to the directories.
For example, have a look at my recent article, posted on just such a listing directory -

Search the engines for forums related to your business' targeted markets. Join these forums and participate actively!
Most discussion forums allow you to include your signature file with your posting. In your signature file, you should add your url with the prefix 'http://'. For example, I may list mine as -
