7 Powerful Ways to Get One-Way Inbound Links
It’s no secret that having links pointing to your website is very good for search engine rankings, and gives more ways for human visitors to find your website. So, how do you get one-way inbound links to your website? Well, there are numerous ways, and I am going to focus on seven of the most effective techniques.
You probably already know about link exchanges as great way for getting links to your website. However, with link exchanges, you have to give a reciprocal link back to the website that is linking to you. In this article I am going to show you how to get links to your website without giving a link back.
Ok, here are seven powerful ways for getting one-way inbound links:
1) Content – Packing your website full of useful content is one of the best ways to get inbound links. When you have a lot of content other webmasters will naturally link to you because your site will be valuable to them and their visitors.
Some examples of good content to add to your website would be; free articles, tools, tips, and resources related to your website theme. You could also have a blog that you update regularly with fresh content.
2) Testimonials – A big trend on the internet right now is adding testimonials to websites. The site owners typically get the testimonials from their site visitors and business customers. In exchange for the testimonial they usually give a link back to your website.
Every time you come across a great website, or have a good experience with a purchase, send a testimonial to the website owner. If they decide to publish your testimonial you will get a link to your website. After a while these links will add up to a significant amount.
3) Online Directories – There are hundreds of online directories that accept website submissions. This is a very good technique for getting one way inbound links. Many of the top directories require you to pay for inclusion or provide a link back to their directory. You can give the link back if you want, or pay if you have the extra money. However, there are also numerous directories that will accept your website without payment or a link back.
All you have to do is find the ones that accept free submissions and you will get your one way inbound links. You can find quite a few directories, and some other great information about submitting to directories at http://www.directory-pages.com/
4) Articles – Writing articles is one of the best techniques for getting one-way inbound links to your website. Many webmasters are looking for more content for their websites and Ezines. You can provide them with that content by writing articles and submitting them to websites, Ezines, and article directories.
In return for your effort you can put a little blurb about yourself and/or your business, with a link to your website, at the end of the article. You will rack up a very high amount of inbound links to your website by utilizing this technique. I have done it many times with a lot of success.
5) Free E-book – You can write an e-book and offer it for free in exchange for a link to your website. You can also put links to your website and other affiliate links in the e-book. Putting the links in the e-book will increase your website traffic and affiliate profits.
You are probably thinking that you can’t write an e-book. Well, yes you can! It doesn’t have to be some killer piece of work that you spend months writing. Instead, you can just make it a collection of your favorite articles, resources, and tools related to your website theme. As long as it is useful to your visitors they will gladly link to you in order to get it.
6) Blogs – There are actually a few ways to get one-way inbound links with blogs. The first way is simply to host a blog on your website and update it frequently. People tend to link to blogs because they provide content that is constantly being updated.
The second way you can get one-way inbound links with your blog is to submit it to blog directories. Just like website directories, there are tons of blog directories on the internet that you can submit to for free. Just do a search on Google for “blog directory” and you will find many of them to submit too.
The third way of getting inbound links with a blog is to host it somewhere other than on your website. Then, provide a link from your blog to your website. After you have done that, you can submit your blog to directories for the extra page rank and added exposure. Use this third technique with as many blogs as you have time to update regularly with quality content.
7) Free Article Directory – Create an article directory on your website and allow your visitors to submit articles to it. Ask for a link back to your website in exchange for the article submission. This will build your inbound links and create free content for your website. I have successfully used this technique for quite a while.

Alright, there you go, you now have seven very effective techniques for getting one-way inbound links to your website. Get started on them right away and you should see your search engine rankings rise, your website traffic increase, and your profits explode.

How to Launch your Website into Internet Stardom
With millions of websites popping up on the internet each and everyday, we all have pretty much come to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to stand out. From music websites to blogs about celebrity gossip – everything has been replicated, distributed, and criticized. Amid these millions of similarities, it can be frustrating to gain any type of audience. Luckily, there are many ways to not only launch your website into internet stardom, but also find the niche that you have been desperate for.
Link Building
One of the most popular forms of getting your name out there is through link building. This generally means submitting your website address to a plethora of different search engines, directories, and websites. When your website address shows up on other web pages, it helps build your search engine ranks. Not sure where to turn first? Most people start off by submitting their websites to the search engine Gods such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Though rumors are circulating that MSN is going to be retiring from one of the top spots, it is still essential to get your website onto its engine. After all, MSN is one of the easiest to target. Additionally, webmasters like to connect with others. By searching for your website’s topic, you can easily find people who share common interests.
Reciprocal-Link Exchange
Once you have found a website that is similar to yours, it is imperative to try and build a relationship with them. Especially if you are a beginner, you absolutely need to acquire back links. This occurs when you display their website address on your own website, and they reciprocate by doing the same. As a result, you will not only have a higher search engine ranking, but you will be promoting yourself to other audiences at the same time. Want to know a secret? Some say that if you target a popular website that already has a steady ranking, you may be able to jump up to the first thousand results much more quickly.
Article Submissions
One trick that many newcomers don’t acknowledge is the idea of article submissions. Are you a writer who has always dreamt of being published on the internet? Many webmasters are now writing articles on their website’s topic and submitting it to DMOZ, and other article directory websites. In most cases, webmasters sneak in their own web address to promote their site and build a back link. Moreover, you can also write a press release announcing your website and what it has to offer. By doing this, fellow webmasters and potential visitors can be targeted.
Regardless of what your goal is, promoting your website can be amusing. All it takes is a creative mind, remembering that back links count miraculously, and that networking is essential. With those concepts intact, you can easily stand out among the crowd. The more creative individual paths you take, the more likely you are to have the #1 website on the web.

Searching The Internet Without Seach Engines
The World Wide Web contains more than ten million websites with thousands more being added daily from all over the world, and search engines are tasked with presenting the most relevant pages based on the search criteria entered. Finding a large and popular site like www.irs.gov is easy because it is related to a large agency, but a small site like mine www.consumermortgagereduction.com would be impossible without the use of search engines. The task of finding a website that relates to a specific subject would be almost without the use of the search engine, yet they perform this task with relative ease using tools that may be unknown to most users of search engines.
The first of these tools utilize by search engines are web-crawlers; they search sites based on meta-tags, or the hidden descriptions of the site encoded in the head of the web page. By using web-crawlers to spider websites, the search engine does not have to search the entire webpage to return results, just the first few lines of code. The majority of the code web-crawlers spider is contained in the section or top of the web page, and search engines use this information to list relevant search terms results.
Meta-bots and Google-bots are used by search engines in the same way that web-crawlers are deployed, and the only difference is that bots read the first lines of text that is visible on the browser of the user. Meta-bots and Google-bots are useful in providing content oriented sites with a quick description of the site, and is use to match the relative words in a search engine query.
The indexer is not a search engine par say, for example the largest indexer is Yahoo, which is not a search engine like Google that is a true search engine. A true search engine uses keyword searches to find website, whereas an indexer stores a link to sites based on categories. To submit a website for inclusion into an indexer the submitter has to find a relevant category that matches their website, but to submit to a search engine they only have to submit the site Universal Resource Listing or URL and the search engine deploys its web-crawler or bots to index the site.
The search engine has become an intricate part of life, especially in the lives of students that utilize the web for research. Without the search engine the search for sites that contain the terms being searched for would almost be impossible to locate in a world of millions of websites.
