7 Simple ways to get good links into your site

Press releases – Some are running scared of press releases as of late, and if you are doing these simply to score an anchor text link, you might well be. Use them for what they are meant for: real news, naked links, and wide distribution.

Relevant business directories – This is very important if you have a local business, but is helpful for any site. Don’t blanket the Web with directory listings; but select the best and use carefully thought-out entries.

Image sites – Sites like Pinterest and Instagram are easy pickings, and have the possibility to spread your links wide. Make sure to cross promote on your other social media channels.

Guest posts – Still a worthwhile tactic if you are able to take the time to not only write killer content, but place it on relevant, authoritative sites that get a lot of traffic.

Social channels – These days making sure you are spreading your content and cross-promoting through your social channels is an excellent way to get it in front of a LOT of people, and as a result get your fair share of inbound linkage.

Create infographics – A great looking and informative infographic has the ability to be shared near and far, and linked to in a whole lot of places. Something to think about!

YouTube Videos – YouTube is owned by Google, (you already knew that) and has a tendency to receive favor from them in many ways, not the least of which is rankings in Google’s search results. Enough said!
