Arriving links bring you traffic and boost your ranking!
One time I saw a web log that saying,
If you want to increase traffic... get links!
If you want to get high page rating ... get links!!
Link, link, links!!!
Though that web log was written for general web sites owner, once
it comes to blogging, nothing changes!
Strictly speaking, the figure of traffic coming from external links may be small compared to that of one coming from major search engines. But,it is extremely
targeted traffic and furthermore it does increase your page rank. Thus, more traffic can be expected from search engines.
One may raise a question. "How galore arriving links do I need?"
Sorry, it's a wrong question. Quality of links matters,having galore arriving links is not bad, though. If you have external arriving links from perfectly not related to your web log theme, the links are simply junk. And if they are coming from the site which have lower page rating than your web log site, it doesn't help you much. That said; quality matters.
One way to get arriving link is link exchange. You link to another sites and ask the owner of that site to link back to you. I don't want to discourage you from doing link exchange, however, it is difficult and time overwhelming job. Whenever possible, try to get arriving links by doing link exchange. But you may put more effort to do another things yet more effective ones.
First, why acquiring arriving links by link exchange is difficult?
Most of web masters and bloggers cognize that they have to get arriving links from
the web sites or web log sites that have similar themes as theirs
those have higher page rating than theirs
The 1st one generally doesn't produce problem. But there seems to be logical problem once
the second one is concerned. If everybody wants to get arriving links from higher graded site, who else is willing to link back to the lower graded sites. Not many, I guess. This does doing link exchange less effective.
A warning: under any circumstances, don't be involved in link farm or Free For All(FFA) links. Once they were nice tips to get high rank, however, nowadays search engine, especially Google will ban you if you're involved in those activity. They are not legitimated link exchange.
Having aforesaid that, here are 4 tips to get arriving links another than link exchange.
Submit your web log and/or RSS feed to web log search engine and directories
It does bring you small figure of traffic. Much significantly
you will get arriving links from authentified web sites, web log search engines and directories. There are more than 100 of them and you can find the links at RSSTop55 - Better Web log Directory And RSS Submission Sites. It says top 55 but if you see on more than 100 submission lists you'll find. I don't think you have to submit all of them, but if you can it's OK. Submitting to 100 sites is not pleasant job. Start from 1st 10 or 20 sites, and if you think you need more, do it another day. But don't fool yourself by purchasing car submission program or service because most of web log search engines don't allow car submission and most of them pinging is enough.
A note: it lists Yahoo Directory and Open Directory at the 1st two spot but prorogue submitting there unless you have more than 20 content pages.
Leave a comment to another blogger
Everybody seems to cognize this. :-) My 2 cent tip is that visit a blogger who has higher rating than you and leave a comment with your web log link (remember you have to use your web log name or keywords as a link title). Several bloggers allow to leave a link, several are not. Of courses go to the bloggers who allow. Don't forget to leave your web log link with your keyword title.
Similarly leave a post on several forums
Of course to the forums that are active and extremely
ranked.
Write a free article and submit it to the article directories
This is a powerful tip yet not galore blogger are doing. By doing this you'll get quality arriving links and a decent figure of traffic. This tip even as do galore another sites activity for you. The secrete is that you provide useful information with your resource box that promote your blog. You allow another blogger or web master to publish your article on their web sites or web log with the condition of placing your resource box at the end of your article. Simply pick up several of your blog, furnish
it and submit to the article directories. You can submit your article at "Ezine Articles", "Article City", "Go Article", "Article Factory", etc.
There you have 4 tips simply about how to get quality arriving link to your web log and this concludes the traffic to blog:how to boost traffic to your web log series.
