That’s because most links has a double-whammy effect on your traffic – it both
- brings you traffic directly – and for free - when somebody clicks on that link and
- improves your Page Rank. This, in turn – an in time – will bring you more free Search Engine traffic
Most Back Links? So there are exceptions?
Yes – Google discounts duplicate content. However, article sites make the articles on them available to be copied but only if they are copied unchanged. That means that your article could have a very wide distribution and bring you lots of traffic – but have little impact on your Page Rank
Likewise, there are some blog sites that accept outside contribution and have a good Page Rank. If you submit a contribution to their site with your link, you may not get much traffic from that link but it will improve your Page Rank
How can I build Back Links for free?
You can build links for free
- by putting your content onto other peoples’ websites
- by joining a Link Exchange program to exchange back links with other sites
Putting your content onto other peoples’ websites
There are a number of sites that will not only accept your content – they are desperate for it.
- Article sites – Just google “article submission sites” and you will get pages with lists of article submission sites. Articles are a great way to get lots of links very quickly. As articles are expected to be copied, you can use the same article over and over again without change. Google may not like it but the other search engines are not so fussy.
- Blog sites – Perhaps you think of blogs as your diary or soapbox speech made public on the net. That’s just one type of blog. Wikipedia has a great article that shows the others. For your Affiliate Marketing Business, you need to know that there are a number of blogs that will accept your contributions. Some of them have good Page Ranks so the link(s) from your posting on their site back to your site helps your Page Rank
- Squidoo - Squidoo aims to be the no 1 source of word-of-mouth recommendations on the web. AS a user, you have a single page – or lens – with text recommendations and/or links to webpages, blogs, books, videos, online shopping or anything else you want. It’s another way to get a link to your site from a high-traffic, high-ranking site
- Hubpages – this site is similar to Squidoo us setup but the content is a cross between that and an article
- Wikidot – is a site that will provide your business with a free, hosted wiki. The great thing about this is that it is collaborative – it is your change to get contributions from other people.
- Directories – There are a large number of directories, some general, some specific that will list your site. Most will only allow / accept a short summary entry. Some are free, some need to be paid for – it’s up to you to decide the value of the link.
Examples are The Open Directory project - free but notoriously slow, and the Affiliate Marketing and Article Directories Topsites
