Internet Marketing Tips for Small Businesses

Once your website is optimized for your keywords, getting links from relevant, high-ranking, quality websites is the next step in dominating search results.

Why's that you may ask? Because the more websites that link to your website, the more credible search engines assume your website must be. Of course, the websites that link to your website have to themselves be credible!

I was watching the clip below over at Web Marketing Today. In it, Aaron Wall from SEO Book (an excellent resources website containing lots of useful SEO tools) explains seven ways you can get people to link to your website.

Here's the seven ways he mentioned in the clip:

1. Offer discounts or coupons as benefits to non-profits.
2. Write original, useful content in a blog on your domain.
3. Redirect affiliate links using 301 redirects.
4. Have a contest where people vote on something they're passionate about.
5. Use offline networking opportunities.
6. Write guest columns or articles.
7. Attract journalists who may cite you on a topic.
