How to Link Your Way to the Top of Google and Yahoo

There is only one reason to build a website or create a blog; to get people to read your message. It doesn't matter whether you created your website or blog for fun, to share your views about a subject important to you, or to make money, the more visitors to your site, the better.

Even more important than increasing the total number of visitors to your site is boosting the number of visitors with a strong interest in its content.

Some websites get all their traffic via advertising. But, advertising can be expensive and most folks who advertise get "hit and miss" results. For those reasons, and others, organic search engine traffic is your best bet. And, for that, you'll need good search engine rankings.

Think about these things for a minute and the first million dollar "secret" becomes obvious. If you want your website to get as much traffic as possible...if you want that traffic to be targeted, good search engine rankings are critical.

The second million dollar "secret" is a little less obvious, but not surprising. The best way to get organic search engine traffic is by conducting a well-conceived, sustained link building campaign. Of course, the content of your site is important. Of course you must carefully choose your keywords, have them appear appropriately on your website, and use them in your link anchor text. But, once those things are done, your ongoing focus should be on obtaining high quality links.

Many website owners have received thousands of links (literally) by writing articles not unlike this one. If well received, a single article can result in nearly 1,000 links. And, there are organizations which will distribute your articles for a fee, and software programs which enable you to do so pretty quickly and easily.

You can also purchase software which makes it easy to find good sites to request links on and an automated system to contact the owners of those sites. Of course, you can accomplish the same thing without the need to buy software, but the software will save you lots of time and will almost certainly improve the results of your efforts.

In the more than five years since our organization began offering free search engine optimization tutorials, hundreds of our students have achieved dramatic gains in their search engine rankings. Consistently, most of them have told us that the single most important factor in their success has been their focus on a continuing effort to acquire high quality links.

Webmasters who want as much traffic as possible (and who among us doesn't?) need to commit to a focused, aggressive link building effort. If they do, their efforts are almost certain to be rewarded.
