Link Building The Lazy Way

Link building results in web traffic. It is that simple. Every web master who has ever tried to squeeze out a living from their web site properties has found out soon enough that finding traffic is not easy, and that one of the best ways to achieve it is to get their web sites to rank highly in the search engines for the keywords that best represent their sites.

Sites that rank highly in the search engines tend to be those that are linked to from other sites from all over the web. So how do you manage to get the necessary links?

The optimal way is to write top-notch content for your web site and encourage people to link to that content. But that poses something of a catch-22 type situation, because it is difficult to convince people to backlink to you if you cannot first get them to your site to see that content. So, much of your initial backlink generation depends upon do-it-yourself operations. You create articles and place backlinks into the resource area at the conclusion of the article, and then you submit those articles to article directories and hope other people download them and place them on their site.

This approach does work as a link building strategy, but it is usually slow and tedious. An alternative to this is to employ a service that takes your articles and automatically submits them to the web sites of people who have agreed to place articles from the service onto their web pages. I have discussed this kind of automated link building service in some depth at http://www.neurolinkerreview.com/

Another way to gain backlinks is to post comments to other people’s sites and add your backlink as part of your signature. This is yet another very time consuming approach, but it can work well. Unfortunately it is not possible to automate this idea in any way because robots cannot understand the blog posts to which they are responding, and they cannot generate useful responses.

But there is an alternative to this. Rather than posting comments, a robot could easily spin a blog post and distribute it to hundreds of blogs within a blogging network. This is much the same as article distribution, except that the posts end up on blogs, and people can respond to them. This is another of the automated ways for generating links discussed in my review.
