But the search engines are not easy to please. They specially are not very trustful of new websites. So you need to gain the trust of the search engines in order to get lots and lots of traffic your way.
Nothing pleases the search engines more than links from good quality websites. The more links your website has the more chances that you might please Google enough for it to send people to your website. As a website owner, one of the first tasks you need to focus on is building links to your newly launched site.
Thankfully there are numerous ways a new website can acquire lots of links. Fortunately a lot of these methods are either free or low cost. Let us discuss some ways you can get links when launching a new website.
1. Directory Submissions: This is one of the oldest techniques but can still be very effective. Website directories usually have a high page rank and therefore more value in the eyes of search engines. By submitting your site to a lot of these directories you can get huge amounts of free links without much hassle.
You can do a Google search for free web directories and you are likely to find hundreds of them. However it is not an easy job submitting your site to so many places. But there are services available that can make this task easier for you. You just have to pay a small amount to get your website submitted to hundreds of directories thus saving you valuable time.
The advantage of directory submissions is that you can get numerous free one-way links to your new website. But there are few disadvantages as well. One of the disadvantages is that you usually have to wait for a fairly long time after submitting your website. Most directories may take anywhere between a few weeks to a few months to approve your site.
So you have to submit and forget about it for a few months and get busy with other link building strategies. However once links pointing to your website are live on these directories, you can gain tremendous benefits in terms of search rankings.
2. Article Marketing: This is one of the favorite methods of link building for many marketers. This method is used by newbies as well as experienced marketers alike.
In article marketing you submit your articles to a dozen or so high page-ranked directories. At the end of your article, you can link to your website. So by submitting hundreds of articles you can gain hundreds of links to your website free of cost!
The big advantage here is that the articles you submit to these directories stand a good chance of ranking highly in the search engines and thus can bring you good amount of traffic in addition to backlinks.
3. Blog Commenting: Searching for niche relevant blogs and providing quality comments that add to the blogs readership. The best place to search for blogs would be a do follow blog directory as only blogs with the do follow attribute will provide link juice.
4. Yahoo Answers: While some people over do this one it is still viable, get high pr backlinks by providing answers to questions that can reference your site. Avoid over doing it and provide other helpful advice along the way that doesn't promote your site.
5. Forum Signatures: Another good strategy is to sign up at different forums related to your niche. Take an active part in the ongoing discussions at these places.
You can place a link to your websites in your forum signature. Each post or comment you make at the forum will also have your link attached at the bottom thus bringing you lots of easy backlinks.
