By Royal Boesiger


Anyone that is serious about making money with websites online must understand how to do link building the right way. Even if you feel like your website is just a small part of the business that you are building, you should know how to get people to link to it. One of the more popular ways to get links to your site is to use automated link builders which will send hundreds or thousands of links back to your site every day. Organic approaches are also used. Most organic links take quite a bit of time to develop, yet they are longer-lasting, able to give you more traffic from much more reliable sources. In this article, we will discuss organic link building strategies.

Create profiles on big communities and forums. You can include a link back to your website on most of these profiles. This increases the number of websites that are linking to you. It is important to stay active with these communities once you create a profile, so keep that in mind.

To get links with video, publish yours on YouTube, Vimeo and Yahoo. It's easy to sell your services, and any products that you have, plus get back links when using videos. Make sure that you stick to your particular niche, especially of selling products and services is one of your primary purposes for using videos.

Social bookmarking sites can be remarkably valuable sources of links. This works best for websites that are updated regularly, like blogs. If people like the bookmark you have submitted they will vote for you. They may like it enough to link from their own sites, too. There are two obvious benefits here. You get a link from submitting your site to that social bookmarking directory. Then, whatever links are given to you by the readers of your submission will help you even more. Don't be fooled into thinking you need to submit only pages from your own site, though. You need to be consistent about submitting interesting, useful links or the community on the site will turn off.

You have the option of submitting articles revolving around your niche to various article directories. Typically the articles that you submit to article directories will allow you to include a resource box with your article. Many directories also allow you to add a link from within your profile page. This opens the door for you to create a lot of links for yourself. Wherever possible, you want the articles you submit to be good quality. The time will be justified however, as you'll be gaining good quality links.

There are so many ways to build links for yourself. There are so many services out there willing to do it all for you at very low prices. If the quality of the links matters to you, though, you will be better off building those links organically. Your results will be noticeably better if you focus on organic options. The methods we've talked about here are just the beginning. If you let yourself think creatively, you'll come up with a whole lot more.
