Longshot Method of Obtaining Inbound Links Without Exchanges
Meeko--In addition to JohnnyEnglish's sound advice, two more
surefire ways and one longshot method of obtaining inbound links
without exchanges are:
1. Original articles concerning your site's topic that you write
or pay someone else to write and place in online periodicals in
exchange for a link at the end of the article. Go REAL EASY on
the selling and make the article as unique as possible. Try to
address a common problem or need in your marketplace. Also--make
sure it's placed in a non-subscription area so that search
robots can access it. No use in getting an article in The
Economist when can't Google get to it.
2. Press releases will cost you money but are a superb way to
garner lots of inbound links and they are cheaper than paying
some mook to get you a bunch of dodgy links. If your release
includes mention of a publicly held company, try to get them to
approve inclusion of their ticker symbol. That will get you
placed in a whole slew of financial sites that almost invariably
pick up ANY release with a ticker symbol. Submit your press
release here: http://www.me

3. Viral marketing is the do-all-end-all of link building and
it's free but very tough to pull off. Generally it relies upon
much sought after content that cannot be found elsewhere. Got a
vid of you and Paris (not the city) or a clip of Mother Thersesa
kicking a beggar? Those are worth a couple thousand links.
