There are millions of web sites trying to get listed in the
top 20 to 30 spots on the major search engines. That's a lot
of competition! So if you're having a hard time getting those
spots then maybe you should try some indirect strategies to
get those prized listings.
One way to do that would be to do a search on Google, Yahoo
or MSN using the keywords that someone would use to find your
website. The key then would be to advertise on the top web
sites. Now advertising on these top spots would probably be
very expensive.
If you don't want to spend any money, you could use the ten
strategies listed below. Remember though, some of these strategies
may not apply to every web site.
- Ask the web site owner if they would like a free ebook
to give away to their visitors. You could have them link
to your web site to download the ebook or include your links
in the free ebook.
- Write an excellent article review of their web site,
products or services. Then publish the review on your web
site. Email the web site owner and tell him or her about
it. They may link to your web site so their visitors can
read it.
- Submit content to their web site. Write articles and
include your links in the resource box. If they are published,
you'll get a link back to your website which will help your
search engine ranking.
- If these top sites have discussion boards or forums then
participate. Post questions, answer other peoples questions,
and join in on conversations. Just make sure that you include
your signature file and link at the end of your messages.
- Ask the owner of the web site about trading advertising.
If you don't get as much traffic as they do, you could throw
in some extra incentives or put their ad on more of your
web pages.
- Give the web site a testimonial for their product or
service. Include a text link for your web site within the
testimonial. They just might include it in their ad copy.
- Post your text link on their free-for-all links page,
if they have one. You may want to go back and post your
link regularly so it stays towards the top.
- If they have a free classified ad section then post your
ads there. Make sure that you have a killer headline so
their visitors will click on your ad.
- If they have a guest book, sign it. Leave a short but
sincere compliment about their web site. Be sure to include
your signature file and link at the end of your message.
- Propose a cross promotion deal with the web site. You
could promote each others products or services in a package
deal. You get your site mentioned and links back to your
web site.
