In this article I will be focusing on one strategy that will generate traffic to your site and help you making money online. That strategy is called “linking”.

First of all, it’s very important to consistently get your website link onto other websites and directories so that people can find your website and visit it to give you more traffic. The more links you have pointing back to your site, the better your Google Page Rank or PR will be, because this is a measure of how popular your site is and how many other sites link to yours.

I’m going to start off by describing the linking strategies I have been using in my online business because I know these best.

Linking Strategies:

1. One-way links - pointing back to your site. Submit your site to relevant site. This is tips use Link Directory Submitter, which allows you to easily submit your website’s title and description to a list of directories whose PR is listed. In this case, it’s okay to add your link to a site whose PR is lower than yours because it is not a reciprocal exchange, it is a one-way link pointing back to your site, and the more you have the better. 

2. Reciprocal Linking - Other word, Exchange Link. If they display your link on their site, then you will display their link on your website. This can benefit both parties if the content is similar in that you have each gained a new, relevant link. This is tip, to exchange link, you must find relevant topic with you site and find PR that have high ranking. So that It’s can drive traffic to your site.

3. Search Engines searching - to do a Google, MSN, or Yahoo search for keywords related to your website to see which sites get the top positions in the search engine listings. Once you find those top sites, click on them to see if they have any spots on their home page where you could add your link. Contact the web master of that site to let them know you would like to exchange links with them. If they say yes, then you know you will have a good chance of being placed higher in the search engine listings as well, which will bring more traffic to your site, and hopefully more sales too.

4. Free or paid web directories - allow you to add or submit your website’s URL by typing your keyword in the search box in Google followed by add URL or submit URL.

5. Signatures - making posts in discussion forums on your website’s topic which include your links either within the body of the post, or in the signature file at the end. This gets you good one-way links pointing back to your site. But make sure you don’t do spamming. Give a value advice, idea, suggestion or you can ask them related your topic site.

Making money on the internet can be fun and challenging. The important thing to remember is that you have to perform each task consistently, on a daily and weekly basis before you will see any results. It can take time to build up your links, or have your links accepted into directories, but if you try to get a few new links every day or every week, then you are on your way to building a popular website that gets visitors and money in your pocket.
