Inbound Link Building - Learn How To Outrank The Big Boys

Taking the time to understanding the basics of inbound link building will hold you in good stead for the future. As you rank well on the search engines and show your authority on a specific niche, Google and other search engines will start favor you as an authority site and literally rank you for hundreds of related keywords that you haven't even tried ranking for.

Now this sounds ideal but you first need to prove your authority by getting your targeted keywords ranked really well in the search engines to build a solid base.

One of the best strategies to do this is to create one-way inbound links to your content.

There are several ways to do this but what must be stressed is that inbound link building is done reasonably slowly and naturally so as not to cause alarm bells with the search engines and have them penalize you by dumping your content back down on page 50.

The following are 3 link building strategies that you can implement straight away and start creating inbound links to your posts.

Article Marketing

Write and submit relevant value driven articles to some Article directory sites. Not all article directory sites are rated equal. EzineArticles has a site page rank of 10 which is very high where as say GoArticles only has a site page rank of 3 which doesn't hold as much weight with the search engines so the inbound link created from your EzineArticles article is worth more to your ranking than a lower ranking article submission site.

Web Directories.

These are a great way of building inbound links. One of the most popular are Onlywire.com which holds over 35 social media marketing sites that you can submit your content through to generate links. They have both a paid and free service depending on the level of submissions you plan to make per month. They also have a download and share toolbar that you can use on your web browser for quick and easy submissions.

Content Syndication Tribes.

These can be both paid and free sites depending on the level of submissions you plan to make per month and also whether you intend to use their auto submissions features. This method of inbound link building is done on the basis of reciprocation as the more members content you syndicate the more content you will have syndicated by them.

Success on the search engines comes from a number of factors and inbound link building combined with a well optimized website implementing both on and off page SEO techniques and you have the recipe to beat the big boys to the number one page position.
