subject: Backlinks: How To Dramatically Increase Your Rankings [print this page] The actual distributing of your press release is very simple to do, and it basically just involves setting up an account. An extremely powerful way to get high quality backlinks to your site is to make use of the article directories. These article directories are seen as "authority websites" by Google and turn out to be a great, no cost way to grow your link popularity. Every article you publish with a directory can include at least one link to your site in the resource box, and some directories even allow links within the article itself. Articles that you publish this way can bring you immediate traffic from the directories, and also very useful one way links. Furthermore, these links will be coming from content that you've created, so you can make optimal use of this.
Discussion forums are another resource for getting links, if you take advantage of the signature file, where you are able to place a link. You should join several popular forums relevant to your niche and become active on them, starting and responding to threads. If you become a regular contributor, other members will start to get interested in you and take a look at your website. And the best part? You are not only getting valuable, relevant links, but also direct traffic from people interested in your niche. Knowledge is power in IM and SEO, so always keep learning and taking action. Try to avoid letting your rankings drop because it's something we think you won't want, and then you'll have to do a lot of work getting it back there.
