SUBMIT 2.0

There very basis of websites is all about links, one page linking to the other, and to another. The popularity of the links has a great deal to do with the traffic that it generates for you. It is also a prime factor used by search engines in ranking websites. It therefore pays to invest time and energy in making links to your websites popular. Link popularity is not just about making sure that your links are everywhere else on the internet. You need to have them at relevant places if you expect to receive positive results from them.

The first external link to create for your website as soon as it is ready to go is to use a directory submission service. You need to do this once so don’t leave it at the floor for tomorrow. You may either want to use a general directory and put your directory submission under a relevant category or use as specialized directory that is specialized in the industry that your website content is associated with. Social bookmarking submission is also very popular in recent times where everybody is a member of one social network or the other.

Another technique for link popularity is link exchange. Find websites whose traffic may have an interest in your website content and trade exchange links; you put a link to your website on the site, the also put a link to their website on your site. The challenge with this technique is that you will need a site who will be equally interested in your idea. You can however use link exchange directories, which bring all such people together. They make it a lot easier.

Blogging is also a wonderful tool for increasing your link popularity. Since the idea is to make sure that you have more links to your website outside your website, it will not be ideal to setup a page on the same website that you will be blogging on. Find external blogging site that stands for your interest and submit posts over there. If you deal in men’s shirt, find external blogs that take interest in men’s shirt and submit intellectual, well-thought and concise post to the blogs. Users may find your posts interesting enough and will link back to your page. Most blogs allow you to add links to your website as well as your e-mail address but it is more important t o get readers to your entire website instead of just sending you a single email. You need them to come and see what you have on your website not to send you ‘interesting emails’, which is the whole idea.
