20 Easy Ways To Get People To Link To Your Web Site
First off all let's define what is a link exchange?
A link exchange Internet marketing campaign is the process of
exchanging hyperlinks with a quality site that is somehow related
to a company's product or service.
It is easy to get link exchange partners when you have a website
that is getting alot of traffic and has a high page rank with Google.
What proves to be a little harder is getting a quality link partner
to link with your site when you have little or no page rank and
little or no traffic.
I have found that giving incentives will help get the link exchanges
flowing and as your page rank increases so will links with websites
that have a higher page rank.
Here are 20 things you can do to get people to link to your website.
1. When you visit a web site you've enjoyed a lot, write a review
for the site. Write about the benefits you gain from the web site.
Tell them they can publish it on their web site if they link to
your web site.
2. Market your web site as a free web book. Design your web site
with a title page, table of contents, chapters, etc. Just allow
other people to give away the web book by linking to your web site.
3. Offer other web sites free content to post on their web site.
Include your link on all of your content. The content should related
to your web site because it will be in front of your target audience.
4. Allow other people to publish your e-zine on their web site.
Include your web site's ad and link in each issue you publish. This
may also help you increase the number of people that subscribe to
your e-zine.

they can instantly add a free article directory to their web site
by linking to yours. Just place your ad or banner ad on top of the

members only site and what it costs to gain access. Offer them a

it away for free, request they link to your site by placing your

This will link your web site to theirs and draw more traffic to
