Acquiring Additional Visitors

To me, link building is something that's a fundamental element of my entire marketing plan. I hardly ever do something "just" to get a link. Instead, it's a component of an overall marketing campaign that's designed to get me more traffic, build trust with my potential customers and establish me as an expert in my niche. Let me provide you with two easy link building ideas that you could incorporate into your marketing plan this week.

Article Marketing - Traffic and Exposure

Writing and submitting articles to some of the popular article directories like Ezinarticles.com is a superb way to get some free website traffic. When your article qualifies and published you should start experiencing at least a few website visitors to your website immediately. When your article becomes more popular, more readers will click to your website.

When other site owners grab your link development article and publish it on their site, you're going to get more exposure and visitors as well as a few extra links. Being an author on authority sites just like Ezinearticles.com will also help ascertain you as an authority in your industry.

Guest Blogging - Get Yourself In Front Of A New Market

Once you have found several blogs that present helpful tips and get a great response from their visitors (through comments), begin taking part by publishing several comments of your own.

Your following step is to get in touch with the blog owner. If you've been submitting excellent comments, chances are he will distinguish your name and you may start to develop a relationship during the period of several emails or phone calls.

Then and only then is a superb time for you to approach the blogger regarding writing guest blog posts. Start by creating one which includes a link or two to some other content on the blog as well as one link back to your own site and send it already formatted and ready to publish to the blog owner.

Once the blog post is live, monitor the responses and answer questions or respond back when needed. When your guest post gets a good link building service response, chances are you will likely be asked to blog there again.
