WAF Free, Quality Inbound Links
All SEO specialists will agree upon this: quality inbound links
help getting high rankings on popular search engines.
Basically, you can get links to your website:
- on reciprocal basis - swapping links with
somehow-related-to-yours websites;
- by paying for links = getting listed in directories in
exchange of a fee;
- by offering good content on your pages - specialists will
reffer to your site in forums, blogs etc.;
- by offering for free good content to others in exchange for a
link pointing to your website.
Let's talk about the last one and you will decide if you will
use it in your SEO and promotion strategy. So here's a short "7
steps how-to" guide about w.a.f. free quality links ( writing
articles for free quality inbound links):
Step 1: Carefully choose the theme of your article
First of all, it should be within your area of expertise. You
must be able to provide interesting and useful information
regarding the topic you choose. Then, you want to attract
visitors which are interested in the theme / content / product /
services you post on your web pages. Therefore you should write
about a topic that matches your website's subject.
Step 2: "Give birth" to a good title
I say "give birth" becase I want to give emphasis to
originality. There are a lot of articles on the web which sound
alike: "The 10 commandements of ", "A step-by-step guide to "
etc. Make all the research you want, but come up with something
new! At least 80% of the web surfers will spend as much as 30
seconds or less on a web site (not on a web page!) The title of
your article will show first and must make them curious and
willing to spend more time to find out what's "behind" the
title. Make it concise, explicit and interesting.
Step 3: Plan and follow a coherent structure
Design a clear structure of the article, follow it and build
your article around this "backbone". Basically, your should get
your readers in the mood first, then feed them the information
and "hit" them in the end with your smart conclusions.
Step 4: Nicely wrap-up your article
Regardless the relevant information you share, you must make it
a "sweet candy" in order to make sure that the reader goes
through the entire article. Keep it to 600 - 800 words. Use
short sentences. Keep it simple and suggestive. Share quality
information. Place a joke here and there. A piece of advice
here: make it a SEO - wise article. Include the keywords that
you target for your website (read the conclusions below to find
out why).
Step 5: Compose your "author's box"
Your name and/or alias, a few words about your
expertise/background, the URL of your website, maybe an e-mail
address. Some of your publishers will ask for this author box
and it is better to have it ready. Again, make it concise and
suggestive.
Step 6: Check up your inbound-link-generating article
Check the spelling and grammar of your article. Make sure it
makes sense for readers - give it to other people (friends) and
ask for their input. Modify it if necessary and then check it
again.
Step 7: Be prepared!
If you are editing the article using an advanced text editor the
article looks great. But you will publish it on the web, not
print it on paper! Create a plain text version of the article in
a basic text editor, without using "bold", "italic", "bullets"
etc. This is the format you will use for submission in most of
the cases.
Your article is now ready to be published on the web. Where?
Well, this is another topic and it is at least one other article
of mine (about where to submit your articles) you should read.
Quality-inbound-links-generating article: conclusions.
Writing an article and getting it published on the web is a
good SEO and promotion strategy because:
- you get free inbound links: "votes" for search engines and
targeted traffic without paying any fees
- you get inbound links without having to link back to other
sites (search engines appreciate this)
- you get a link to your website in a page with relevant content
(a very important SEO technique)
- beside the sites you directly submit your article to, other
sites / newsletters may use your article and therefore link to
your site (further reading about "the other side" of newsletters

- you promote your name along with your website and you increase
your web visibility as a specialist in a particular field.
So, writing articles for (w.a.f) free quality inbound links is a
SEO / web promotion strategy which worths consider in web
marketing. Read more (on www.ewolwe.com) to find out
