SEO - Search Engine Linking Strategies IIIOne way links back to your site can be achieved in a number of ways. You could request one. However, a high ranking site is not going to provide you with a link free of charge, so you could either pay a monthly fee for it, or provide some other service in return. Another way is to submit your website to site directories: as many as you can. Most directories have free submissions that can take a long time to set up, and might require a reciprocal link, and also paid submissions that promise fast-tracked submission, but that require a regular subscription payment. The paid subscriptions, however, do not insist on a reciprocal link. Each submission provides you with a link back to your home page.Article marketing is another way of securing one way back links. For every directory your article is submitted to and accepted, you receive one back link. These can number several hundred. In addition, visitors to the article directories are permitted to copy your article to their own web site as long as the also include your author bio that includes a link back to your site. This could be a valuable link since it can be to a page deep within your web site, rather than just to your home page as most links are. Google sets more store by internal links than home page links. Using article marketing you get thousands of links to your web site from the directories and from people who like your articles, and it is one of the most profitable ways of marketing your website. Whatever method it is that you use, search engine linking strategies are without a doubt a major SEO technique, and content-free websites have been known to reach the number 1 spot for their keyword on the basis on linking strategy alone.
