Having looked at the various on- and off-site activities which affect your gite website’s search engine ranking, I promised I’d cover in-bound link building.
As I mentioned in a previous gite online marketing article, inbound links determine both whether you’re found by search engines, and how highly you rank for specific search terms. Search engine spiders crawl links to find your web pages, and allocate importance to those pages based on the number, and quality of the links pointing to each page.
So here’s a list of ideas for generating inbound links into your web site in no particular order:
* Link bait
* Free Directories
* Paid Directories
* Paid Links
* Link Exchanges
* Link Swapping
* Social Bookmarking
* SEO Press Releases
* Active Blogging
* Forum Activity
* Social Networks
* Content Networks (Youtube, Flickr)
* Wikis
* Business networks (BTtradespace, Hotfrog, etc)
* Expert pages (Squidoo, Hubpages, Yahoo Answers, About etc)
This list on it’s own probably isn’t too useful, so in my next few blog posts I’ll pick of one of the subjects and go into a bit of detail of how you can use it to build inbound links to your gite web site, giving consideration to both quantity and quality of those links.
Go on... click it... you know you want to!
